COMICS: New Arab Green Lantern Debuting in Green Lantern #0

I think most people got that from the post earlier on, buddy... :/

Anyway's.........

he is an arab with a tattoo meaning bravery. my guess is hes either a former taleban or a soldier from an arab country. either way the fact that ppl are complaining isnt going to matter because from what ive learnt if geoff johns has an idea abt writing something especially a character he created its gonna be amazing.

i think its logical that dc finally decided to create earth lanterns from another place besides america i really hope they do the same thing with a female from an arab country for the red lanterns maybe taleban destroy her village and kill her daughter or whatever and then she gets a red ring and kills them all.

He might be a former-con or former gangster.

@Venom2019 Well from what we have heard he refers to himself as "The Green Lantern" and others rumors are he may have been the first.

Heres a revamped 52.....out the gate they introduce a new GL whos black. what do we do? Design him with a dumb looking luchadore full face mask, very late 80's fingerless gloves, oh yeah he must have a gun because GL's all have those...no wait they don't so why does this guy have one? Is it because he's Black?....no ..no they wouldn't do that....

oh wait...he might be a gang member...umm... again......so automatically the African american GL is gun toting ( former ) Thug?


well lets be really keen and progressive and make him muslim......



real original guys....stay classy.

costume looks ok but why does he have a gun

I'm all for diversity, but not when it isn't done right.

This character is a walking cliche of a stereotypical criminal. The soul patch isn't helping either.

I think the character is actually Middle Eastern not black. And why would would he even need a gun with the GL power ring? It doesn't make any sense.

Why are they always changing and screwing with GL?

Maybe it IS Jon Stewart, just with a new tattoo! In cannon he's never really been part of the JL or anything like that, right? Maybe he's new to the earth hero thing.

@VenomSpawn

LOL pretty much

I would put a shit load of money on it bring Stewart. He's facing SPOILER death penalty at the moment in 'Corps'. 'Green Lantern' is full of ex-convicts. This is probably just his return. Nothing sinister or new.

And where the hell does this photo tell you he's Muslim? The worst observation I've ever heard

Cracks me up all the jumping to conclusions. We dont know how this character plays a part. So no you dont know if it a stupid idea or a racist one or anything.
pre-judging morons. Wait to read it, then pass judgement. wtf is with some people?
This guy might be part of the Guardians new army or WHO KNOWS... Batman doenst seem to like him much already so he might not even be a good guy. WAIT AND SEE

WHY? I get it... he's a con that converted with the nation of Islam in prison. It's the first issue so he doesn't realy know that his ring has powers and it's not just bling. And he's about to rob Batman.

if he IS a muslim, he WON'T be wearing a GL ring. he just does NOT believe in anything else, BUT Allah, the single GOD.

@Superfrost is probably closest with the prison part. Middle Eastern Muslims don't believe in getting tats its against their teachings. He could be a man who went to prison, joined the nation of Islam, and was chosen worthy by the ring. But it is all speculation and wild guesses because we are all going off of a picture. We don't know if it's stereotypical, racist, lame, or what until we see some panels and even then it is just opinion. And to those bitchin' about why does DC keep messing with green lantern, because it's theirs to do with as they please. There are over 7200 lanterns in the corps so guess what, they'll all be different. And Alan Scott isn't even that type of green lantern. There are gay people in this world, there are thugs, and there are suburbanites. They all deserve representation.

i think he can be Muslim hero it would be too good
