About Green Lantern and Iron Man. When I was a female kid in the early 2000's, I didn't read any comics at all. I had no idea who iron man was or even who the x-men were because I never watched the movies. However, I know who Green Lantern was because of the tv show Justice League. in fact when I heard they were making a Green Lantern movie I was surprised to find out he wasn't black. LOL
