J Edgar Hoover was the first Director of FBI after eleven years as the director of the BOI, its predecessor. He founded the FBI in 1935, where he remained as director for 37 more years until he died in 1972. After his death, evidence of his secretive abuses of power were brought to light, including wiretapping, burglary, and blackmailing politicians over sexual matters, as well as his own homosexuality, and tastes for BDSM and crossdressing. The new Alan Scott: Green Lantern series set in the forties has seen Hoover blackmail Scott over being a gay superhero. The final series, published today, sees Alan Scott, having come to some home truths with those he has fought alongside, and against, go back up against Hoover.
And giving the chance for Alan Scott to give the kind os monologues that floating superheroes do best, all while potentially suggesting to Hoover that this is a frog he may not want to let out of the box, considering his own desires and actions.
However, given Alan Scott’s behaviour as a bay man in the forties very well aware of himself, some have asked how this was going to fly with established continuity that Alan Scott fathered two children naturally – who are both superheroes, Jade and Obsidian.
And only recently came out to them as well, back in Infinite Frontier in 2021.

So how does that marry up with the tale he is now telling? Obsidian asks the question.
Once you pull at that glowing green string, you will get an answer…
It’s a tender, uncomfortable story of another time, that really wasn’t that long ago, and even twenty years ago would have meant a whole different kind of conversation. But all this is getting a bit heavy, right? And it’s time for Obsidian to make the joke that everyone has been making since Bleeding Cool first scooped the story of Alan Scott being a gay man back in 2012.
Yup, the Golden Age Green Lantern’s power weakness is wood…
