The Green Lantern Corps, a fictional organization appearing in comics published by DC, consists of a membership of at least 7200 members, with two assigned per sector (originally 3600 members, one per sector). Additionally, there are assorted other members who fulfill roles other than patrolling. While the characters Alan Scott, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz, and Jessica Cruz are primarily associated with the name, numerous other members of the Corps have appeared in DC Comics.
Eponymous Green Lanterns These eight characters are most closely associated with the name "Green Lantern" and have been the title characters of Green Lantern comics.
Alan Scott
Alan Scott was the original Green Lantern character created in the Golden Age of Comic Books. Alan created the mantle and identity of Green Lantern by himself and is not associated with the Green Lantern Corps, since his power ring was de-authorized by the Guardians before he even obtained it. Prior to the Crisis, Scott's ring ran on magic and not the Central Power Battery of Oa. In The New 52, Alan Scott is the modern-day Green Lantern for Earth 2.
Hal Jordan
Hal Jordan was created in 1959 by writer John Broome and artist Gil Kane and first appeared in Showcase #22 (October 1959). Hal Jordan is a reinvention of the Green Lantern concept and is a member, and occasionally leader, of the Green Lantern Corps, as well as a founding member of the Justice League. Kane drew visual inspiration for Hal from Hollywood actor Paul Newman.
Guy Gardner
Guy Gardner is a core member of the Green Lantern family of characters, and, for a time, (late 1980s through mid-1990s) was also a significant member of the Justice League. He was created by John Broome and Gil Kane in Green Lantern (vol. 2) #59 (March 1968), even though the character was changed significantly in the 1980s by Steve Englehart and Joe Staton, who turned him into a jingoistic parody of an ultra-macho "red-blooded American male". Gardner's appearance was originally patterned on actor Martin Milner.
John Stewart
John Stewart was the fourth African-American superhero to appear in DC Comics. The character was created by Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams, and first appeared in Green Lantern (vol. 2) #87 (December 1971), when artist Neal Adams came up with the idea of a substitute Green Lantern. Stewart's original design was based on actor Sidney Poitier.
Kyle Rayner
Created by writer Ron Marz and artist Darryl Banks, Rayner first appeared in Green Lantern (vol. 3) #48 (1994), as part of the "Emerald Twilight" storyline, becoming the sole Green Lantern for years through the late 1990s and mid-2000s. During this period, he was also briefly known as Ion.
Simon Baz

Jessica Cruz appears briefly in Green Lantern (vol. 5) #20 (July 2013), but did not make her official debut until the last pages of Justice League (vol. 2) #30, when the Ring of Volthoom locates her. She was dubbed "Power Ring" while she was host to the Ring of Volthoom, but is not a member of the Crime Syndicate of America. Cruz became an official member of the Green Lantern Corps at the end of the Darkseid War storyline.

Jemisin and artist Jamal Campbell as part of the imprint Young Animal, Sojourner "Jo" Mullein is introduced as an Earth rookie Green Lantern sent to the alien metropolis City Enduring at the edge of the universe in the maxi-series Far Sector.

Yalan Gur Yalan Gur is a Green Lantern introduced as part of an effort to reconcile the Golden Age Green Lantern's origin with the later introduction of the Green Lantern Corps.Green Lantern (vol. 3) #19 (December 1991) He is a red-scaled, reptilian humanoid, assigned to sector 2814 in the 10th century. Yalan Gur was once one of the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, and, in the 10th century by Earth reckoning, the Guardians of the Universe chose to remove the customary weakness to the color yellow from his power ring. Without this limitation, however, he was corrupted by power, and he came to Earth and enslaved the people of China. The Guardians of the Universe thwarted Yalan by adding a new weakness of wood to his ring, allowing villagers to overwhelm and mortally wound him. The dying Yalan Gur fled into Earth's upper atmosphere, where he merged with his power battery as he died. His lantern then collided with a fragment of the Starheart and was merged with its magical essence, turning into the Green Flame that becomes the source of Alan Scott's power.

He is Earth's first Green Lantern and was a monk raised in the Temple of the Dragon Lords in China. When Jong Li was growing up, he was taught of the Dragon Lords, beings who ruled in the "Golden Age" of man, and that under these lords, man prospered. He was taught to renounce all earthly possessions and live a life of peace and discipline, but then one day, a concubine named Jade Moon came to him in his temple, begging for help in trying to escape her bonds. Jong Li tried to help her but failed, and his temple and fellow monks were ravaged by the emperor's troops and their commander. Jong Li later encountered a representative of the Guardians of the Universe who gave him a power ring and a Lantern to "Oppose Evil, Ease Suffering, and Protect the Innocent." Jong Li later rescued Jade and learned of Lung Mountain, where the last Dragon Lords supposedly lived. He set out to seek their higher authority and, with their Blessing of Fire, became the last Dragon Lord of the Earth, finally defeating the evil emperor's forces and saving his people.As seen in Green Lantern, Dragon Lord #1 (June 2001)
