Welcome to our speculative stadium, where legends duke it out and winner takes all! All what? No one knows! We’re just here to have fun!
This week’s combatants look to be playing a big role in the next era of DC Comics, which kicks off in next week’s Infinite Frontier #0. Jo Mullein is one of the newest Green Lanterns. Assigned to the “Far Sector”, she’s attempted to keep the peace in the City Enduring. Jennifer-Lynn Hayden, known as Jade, is the daughter of Alan Scott. She was born with powers, including the ability to create energy constructs, manipulate energy, and fly due to the magical energies her father was exposed to.
Which high-flying, green-glowing, construct-creating woman do you think would win? Tell us who you’d pick and why, below!

What makes Jo special isn’t her combat abilities, but her social and detective sense. She’s not a battler like the other Earthborn GLs; she’s a problem solver.
Jade, though, has been on multiple big league super-teams, and is daughter to one of the original superheroes. She’s fought alongside and against the absolute best of them. I’m giving Jade the win.
The only times I’ve really seen Jade much were a few appearances in Green Lantern books I’ve read. She has had a much bigger role than I initially thought, and would be hard to beat.
Jade, without question. She’s been on multiple teams (Infinity Inc, Outsiders) and she has a superhero father, brother, and ex-boyfriend so you know she’s had plenty of sparring practice (plus her dad’s friend Ted Grant likely taught her some moves). I love Far Sector and Jo Mullein, but even with a power ring she’d be outmatched by a seasoned hero like Jade.
I do think it would be hard to beat someone as experienced and well-trained as Jade, but I think it would be a close fight, at the very least.
And happy DCU birthday, @mrmiracle!
