Green Lantern oath

Green Lantern oath

Green Lantern is famous for the oath he recites when he charges his ring. Originally, the oath was simple:

“	...and I shall shed my light over dark evil. For the dark things cannot stand the light, The light of the Green Lantern!	”
—Alan Scott

(This oath was later given as an in-joke to Tomar-Re, Green Lantern of sector 2813 and the first Lantern Hal Jordan met after Abin Sur.)

In the mid-1940s, this was revised into the form that became famous during the Hal Jordan era:

“	In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight Let those who worship evil's might, Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!	”
—Hal Jordan/Many Current Lanterns
