Green Lantern (Jade)

Daughter of the original Green Lantern and the supervillain Thorn, and fraternal younger twin sister of Obsidian, Jennie-Lynn Hayden became the hero known as Jade. She became the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 for a time when she was temporarily stripped of her powers.

Jade is the daughter of the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott and Rose Canton. After giving birth to Jade and her brother Todd (who would later become Obsidian), the two were given up for adoption as Rose (at times a dangerous vigilante) was afraid she would harm them. It was under these circumstances that Jade became Jennifer-Lynn Hayden, adopted by a couple from. As she grew she came to realize she was different, and upon realizing why she had a star shaped birthmark on her left hand, she was surrounded by the Starheart power, and her hair and skin changed to the colour green (this occurred as a defensive reaction after being sexually abused). She did not know about her twin brother until later in her teenage years, and shortly thereafter the two set out on careers as crimefighters. They quickly surmised they were Alan Scott’s children and thus applied for positions with the Justice Society. They were however rejected but undaunted teamed with other young heroes and formed Infinity Inc.

Jade controls the power of the Starheart. This provides energy manipulation powers such that she can affect the entire spectrum including gravitation, light, heat and radiation. She also has the ability to create solid light constructs in essentially anything she can devise (and thus is limited only by her will.) These abilities have been used for such feats as flight, intangibility, invisibility and force field projection. The Starheart also granted her certain mental abilities such as hypnotism, astral projection (during which she can attack ghosts) and limited telepathy. Later in life, Jade developed chlorokinetic abilities. She can synthesize sunlight as a source of energy (due to the presence of chlorophyll in her system). She has also been shown to cause roses to attack a mugger. She is a gifted photographer and her skills in this regard occasionally prove useful in her superheroics. The Starheart has a weakness against objects made out of wood.

She has green skin and green hair.
