Flashpoint – What You Need to Know

Hal Jordan and Martian Manhunter

The Time Boom wasn’t felt just on Earth, where Bruce Wayne died and Kal-El never became Superman. The ripples were felt in the universe, as well. Thus, if in the original timeline Hal Jordan was chosen as a Green Lantern after the death of Abin Sur, this doesn’t happen in the Flashpoint. Abin Sur doesn’t crash at all, which means that the universe will miss its greatest Green Lantern.

This isn’t all. Hal Jordan is just a simple pilot. And there is no time for heroic deeds for him. Why? He is shot down from the sky by the Amazons’ fleet of invisible jets. And, believe it or not, I can actually see a powerless Hal Jordan appearing in the CW universe, even if the context will be completely different.

As far as the Martian Manhunter is concerned, the last founding member of the original Justice League was captured by the Outsider in the Flashpoint and sold to Russia (after being tortured and experimented upon). Martian Manhunter turned evil and took over Russia, only to be killed in the end by the Outsider.

And so goes the original Justice League – was there nobody to fight the Amazons and Atlanteans?
