Amalgam Comics superhero whose true appearance was "Iron Lantern" #1, though hismetafictional appearance in the Amalgam universe was "Showcase of Suspense" #84, in a story entitled "The Other Iron Lantern".

Justice Guild of America
In a
Golden Age tribute story on thecartoon television show "Justice League ", a hero named Green Guardsman was shown as a member of theJustice Guild of America (a thinly veiled version of theJustice Society of America ). This Green Guardsman had no connection to theAmalgam Comics character, and was based entirely onAlan Scott . He had a power ring almost identical to that of an Iron Lantern albeit emitting a paler shade of green energy and powerless against aluminum metal. As a child Green Lantern John Stewart was a fan of this Green Guardian's comic book adventures.
