Prior to the [[Crisis Onon Infinite Earths]] (in which he played a critical role), Alan lived in the [[Alternate Universe]] of Earth-Two with the rest of the Justice Society. His history was "folded into" that of the unified Earth because of the Crisis. Since the [[New 52]]'s recreation of Earth-2, however, Alan and other [[Golden Age]] heroes are once again part of this alternate universe.

* [[The Cape (trope)]]: He's always been the classic cape archetype, and as far as post-Crisis DC canon is concerned, he was the ''first'' Cape.

The daughter of Alan Scott, Jade inherited her father's powers, but without the need for a power ring. She got her start as a superhero with [[Infinity, Inc.]], a group made up of the teenage progeny of the [[Justice Society of America]]. Years after Infinity disbanded, she met and fell in love with Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, who created a power ring for her to use, making her an honorary Green Lantern. Jade died (like so many of Kyle's girlfriends) saving the Polaris system in ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', but was resurrected by the White Light at the end of the [[Blackest Night]].

* [[Ret -Gone]]: In the [[New 52]].

* [[Thigh -High Boots]]

In the waning years of the Golden Age, Doiby accompanied Scott on an adventure in space, where he fell in love with Princess Raima of the planet Myrg. Rather than return home with Scott, he married the beautiful extraterrestrial and has remained on Myrg since (briefly getting involved in a couple of adventures with [[Young Justice (Comic Bookcomics)|Young Justice]]).

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: In his ''[[Young Justice (Comic Bookcomics)|Young Justice]]'' appearances, Doiby is drawn to look like [[Mickey Rooney]].

* [[Put Onon a Bus]]

* [[What Could Have Been]]: During the planning stages of ''[[Infinity, Inc.]]'', Jerry Ordway thought about including a teenage male Harlequin who was to be mainstream comics' first openly gay character. Because the team already had two GL-related characters (Jade and Obsidian), though, the idea was scrapped.

{{quote| '''AKA:''' Steven Sharpe III}}

Steven Sharpe was once an honest man, but a string of unlucky incidents convinced him that the only way to win at life was to cheat. He became the Gambler, a notorious bank robber who clashed with Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern. He also fought [[Starman (Comic Bookcomics)|Starman]] and [[The Sandman]], and was one of the founders of the Injustice Society. Years later, after losing everything he had to his gambling addiction, he committed suicide. He is survived by his daughter, Hazard, and his son, the new Gambler.
