Alan Scott was the first hero to be known as the Green Lantern. He discovers what appears to be a green railroad lantern after a train accident. The lantern, actually a piece of a mystical orb known as the Starheart, instructs Scott to make a ring out of a fragment of its material. The ring transforms thought into reality as long as he touches the lantern once every 24 hours.
