Who is Jessica Cruz and what does a Justice League death entail? That remains to be seen as well as whether or not the next or future Green Lantern writers will pick of the threads Johns weaved, whether this is part of something larger planned at DC, or if it will amount to nothing at all. We witness a scene between Simon and the arm of a Lantern named Jessica paired with a narrator saying, “He was ultimately responsible for training the first female ring bearer of Earth - Jessica Cruz - a controversial figure herself who came into possession of her ring in the wake of the Justice League’s death.” To show the GL legacy would live on, in the pages of Green Lantern #20, Johns went on to mark a few beats in the future of several Lanterns. The ring didn’t choose her, which is what makes this new development news worthy. But once her normal powers were returned to her she didn’t need a GL ring any longer. This meant that Cruz spent time training under everyone's favorite ring-slinging jerk, Guy Gardner. Powers and Abilities: Superhuman physical characteristics, Flight, Force Field Creation, Energy Projection, Cosmic Awareness, Energy Absorption, Hand-to-Hand Combat (Jessica was trained by. Classification: Human, Green Lantern Corp Member. Jade (aka Jennifer-Lynn Hayden), the daughter of non-Corps affiliated Green Lantern Alan Scott (in pre-reboot continuity), was given a spare power ring by Kyle at one point and served as a GL of Earth. On the one hand, a female Green Lantern would make a nice change and be a step forward for the franchise. 3 JESSICA CRUZ: She Decked Guy Gardner After Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz were partnered together, Hal Jordan knocked them down to the rank of cadets and had them train with the Green Lantern Corps, like other new initiates. Name: Jessica Viviana Cruz, Green Lantern. While there have been many awesome women in the Corps (Katma Tui, Laira, Arisia, Iolande, Soranik Natu), none have officially served as Earth’s Green Lantern. In our home sector 2814, we’ve seen five official GLs – Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and the newly appointed Simon Baz. She is the only one who doesn’t fight due to her pacifistic lifestyle. The Green Lantern Corps is an institution that spans, gender, race, species, as well as the universe, but back here on Earth, there’s been one thing missing – a female Green Lantern. Jessica Cruz is a member of Green Lantern Corps along with Hal. What began as a literal rebirth in 2003 was wrapped up in a neat bow last week but opened the mythos to a few interesting possibilities, including one relavent to our specific interests here at The Mary Sue. Beware her power.Green Lanterns light image.jpg image. Cant wait to follow her journey from the current Power Ring drama playing out in JL to her joining the corps. Writer Geoff Johns recently ended his almost ten year journey with DC Comics’ Green Lantern. Jessicas debut as Earths newest GL in the pages of Green Lanterns is one of the most exciting things coming with a Rebirth, IMO.
