Today I would like to talk about my two favorite Comic Characters - Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and Nightwing (Dick Grayson). Since I was a kid I wanted to be a police officer and the Green Lanterns were like space police. After I learned that, I was hooked and I started to relate to Hal as a person through his ideals and how he wants to do the right thing for everyone, even at his own sacrifice. However, this police dream has gone to the wayside so I could chase a different dream - teaching kids sports and fitness. Nightwing was more of a recent development. He is also along the lines of police but instead of having a super power, he was a normal guy with martial arts skills and good connections. When I started reading, I was attracted to the darker aspect of his character, seemingly doing things because his parents died and he wants justice. Then I came across Superman/Batman comic where in issue 60-61 they fight Dr. Destiny and he has them in a dream state. They are in the city of Gothamopolis where they meet the Justice Titans. The leader of the group is none other than Hal Grayson going by the name of Nightlantern. I couldn't believe my two favorite characters were now combined as one!
So this leads me to 2 team builds I developed where Nightwing and Green Lantern meet together as 1 team and one where Nightwing is a Green Lantern.
With the D10AN Nightwing, he is a wildcard and gets any single keyword from a friendly character to make theme. He is my favorite Nightwing to date so I decided to combine him with my favorite Hal Jordan.
D10A Nightwing 93
AN Hal Jordan 169
-Justice League Silver Age ATA 4
Infinity Gauntlet w/ Soul, Time, Space Reality 30
297 - Green Lantern Corps or Justice League Theme
This team has great synergy. Gauntlet can go on either one though I prefer Nigthwing so he can heal on the short dial. Nightwing copies the ATA for a 12 attack and you basically just have a tie up and ranged shooter going around. There isn't much I can say on strategy because this team is adaptable to most situations. It's fun charging in and using quake on some Mystics when you have the Soul Gem active too. So that is the Hal Grayson Team!
No we have Dick as a Green Lantern and to make it feel more lantern like, he is wearing the full IG.
D10A Nightwing 93
-Full IG 40
GLGF Abin Sur 70
-Green Lantern Honor Guard ATA 5
GLGF Tomar Re 80
-Green Lantern Honor Guard ATA 5
293 - Green Lantern Corps Theme
You get +6 to the map roll because of Tomar Re's Trait, get two willpower figures, 10 range attack to help support Nightwing, barrier if need be with Nightwing removing tokens through his leadership to do it every turn, and Abin Sur can pass the power to really boost Nightwing. Nightwing copies the ATA and they all get a healthy attack boost from it.
Two teams built for fun that can actually be competitive too! I hope you enjoy these, let me know what you think of them.
