Green Lantern Secret Origin

[samurainoir]

I just finished rereading it.

Which elements were big retcons from Silver Age continuity?

Incorporating Hector Hammond was a huge one right? The meteor giving him powers coming from Abin Sur's ship. Was it Geoff Johns that first made Hammond "Hal Jorden's biggest fan"?

Do you consider Atrociticus being on the ship a retcon? It's true he's never mentioned in any of the original stories, but it is entirely possible that he was on the ship and all the Alan Moore driven Blackest NIght prophecies were just "offscreen" in the Silver Age account.

I don't know much about Hal Jorden's family... when were they originally first introduced?

[The Toyroom]

Hal's family wasn't introduced right off the bat in the Showcase origin...they were part of the Silver Age shortly thereafter though (or at least his brother and family were...not sure about his parents)

Were Jack and Jim different than they were in Secret Origin?

[The Toyroom]

How so?

[samurainoir]

How so?

Appearance, Relationship with Hal, Motivations?

Case in point, Wally West's parents were vastly different Post Crisis from their pre-Crisis appearances. Are Hal's brothers similar or different than their silver age counterparts?
