If Green Lantern or a friendly Unique Hero within 3 clear sight spaces of Green Lantern would receive enough wounds to be destroyed, you may instead remove an unrevealed "X" Order Marker from this card. If you do, place or remove Wound Markers until the Hero has 1 Life remaining.

SNIPER TARGETING
If Green Lantern does not move this turn, you may add 3 to his Range number and 1 automatic skull to whatever is rolled when he attacks a non-adjacent figure.

GREEN BULLET BARRAGE 9
Instead of attacking, you may choose up to 3 figures within 3 clear sight spaces of Green Lantern. Roll the 20-sided die once for each chosen figure. If you roll 9 or higher, the chosen figure receives a wound.

Green Lantern, Red Tornado (II), Hawkwoman, Detective Chimp is 1,000 points.

Green Lantern, Hawkwoman, Black Canary (JL), Hawkgirl (if you drop her to 240) is 1,000 points.

I think Tornado, Aquaman, and Hawkwoman are the first three I think of that really appreciate his first power within the faction. Doctor Fate (JL) would probably really like him also between the D20 rolls and how he could let Fate stay around just a little big longer to move wounds around.

Then all the standard JL Batman, Wonder Woman stuff, of course. Champion Barry likes him too as an upgrade to what Vibe (Cisco) does that comes along with some offense.

Dig the design. Another nice addition to my favorite faction.

John has some decent potential here, but fell pretty quick. Never got to use Sniper Targeting since he was engaged immediately, and Green Bullet Barrage never would have had more than 1 target so not ideal to use.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
He's a bit of a glass cannon. He can fall pretty quick when the heat is on, even with HC&C extending his life once per round. His damage output is pretty nice. Sniper Targeting can be decent if you can keep him unengaged or have him hang back, but then you lose his ability to save his allies who may need it, as well as take advantage of Green Bullet Barrage. Decent options. Works well with the Justice League and generalist builds. Fun and simple. 280 seems pretty accurate.
