Great Scott! Has DC’s Newly Gay Character Been Revealed?
By Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell on May 27, 2012 with Comments 2
DC caused a bit of a stir recently at Kapow when they announced they would reintroduce an iconic character and change their sexual orientation. Today it seems who they changed has been revealed. BleedingCool, usually very on the nose with comic predictions and news, said that it would be Green Lantern Alan Scott of Earth 2. They ran it as a rumor due to the source, but at Phoenix Comic Con they heard from a “much stronger” source 
that it is indeed Alan Scott who popped up at the end of Earth 2 #1. They’re calling it now, and are saying to place your order for Earth 2 #2 where it will be revealed.
The original Green Lantern received his powers from a green flame and not an alien ring like Hal Jordan. He had a weakness to wood as well, don’t even think about making a joke about it! This may make some fans breathe easier considering Earth 2 has no direct bearing on DC’s 52 and it’s not one of the members of the big three (Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman) which some feared. We only got a brief look at Scott in Earth 2, but the next issue should see him taking a bigger role considering the news that’s been coming out about it.

Making it someone in Earth 2 somewhat lessens the announcement though. If “Earth 2″ ever gets cancelled, then the character’s interpretation is done. It’s an angle that never has to be touched upon again. But if it was someone in the main universe, and the book they were in was cancelled, another writer can bring up the story line again.
I know for a fact that it is …….NOT Wally West…. hehe
