<P> Hal Jordan is a fighter pilot , a member and occasionally leader of an intergalactic police force called the Green Lantern Corps , as well as a founding member of the Justice League , DC 's flagship superhero team , alongside well - known heroes such as Batman , Superman , and Wonder Woman . He fights evil across the universe with a ring that grants him a variety of superpowers , but is usually portrayed as one of the protectors of Sector 2814 , which is the sector where Earth resides . His powers derive from his power ring and Green Lantern battery , which in the hands of someone capable of overcoming great fear allows the user to channel their will power into creating all manner of fantastic constructs . Jordan uses this power to fly , even through the vacuum of space ; to create shields , swords , and lasers ; and to construct his Green Lantern costume , which protects his secret identity in his civilian life on Earth . Jordan and all other Green Lanterns are monitored and empowered by the mysterious Guardians of the Universe , who were developed from an idea editor Julius Schwartz and Broome had originally conceived years prior in a story featuring Captain Comet in Strange Adventures # 22 ( July 1952 ) entitled `` Guardians of the Clockwork Universe '' . </P>
