Harold "Hal" Jordan was a former United States Air Force test pilot and a legendary veteran of the Green Lantern Corps. Jordan was the son of Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan. His father had a distinguished career as a test pilot before his death in an airplane crash in 1975. As an adult, Jordan decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a test pilot as well.

In 1986, Jordan succeeded Abin Sur as the Green Lantern of Sector 2814, after Sur's death at the hands of a Manhunter, becoming the first human member of the Corps. In his early career, Jordan was mentored by the veteran Lantern Sinestro, whom Jordan grew to consider a surrogate father figure. Ten years after his debut, Jordan publicly revealed his identity, and became a popular celebrity. Serving as a superhero for thirty years, Jordan defended the people of Earth, and the rest of the sector, against numerous threats. In the 2010s, Jordan defeated his former mentor Sinestro when the latter attempted an uprising on Oa.

Jordan's mentorship by Sinestro, and inclination to intervene in terrestrial affairs, drew the suspicion of the Guardians of the Universe, who sought to replace him with recruit John Stewart. In 2016, Stewart was placed as Jordan's trainee and partner, though Jordan correctly feared that he was to be replaced. The two investigated extraterrestrial activity in Rushville, Nebraska, including the presence of a Manhunter, and a group of aliens seeking vengeance. After the destructive Battle of Rushville, Jordan was stripped of his Power Ring. Stewart declined the ring, and Jordan was instead succeeded by Guy Gardner as Green Lantern of Sector 2814, with a new Power Ring. Jordan subsequently spent ten years in prison for reckless endangerment of the people of Rushville.

After his prison sentence, Jordan returned to Rushville to make amends, and began a relationship with Sheriff Kerry Kane. In 2026, Jordan discovered that Kane's surrogate son, Noah Macon, was a second Manhunter, and was killed by a panicked Kane. Stewart returned to Rushville and investigated Jordan's murder, alongside a backed-up version of Jordan's consciousness. After finding out the truth, Stewart donned Jordan's Power Ring, becoming another Green Lantern of Earth.
