Who is Jennie-Lynn Hayden?

The daughter of the original Green Lantern Alan Scott, Jennie-Lynn Hayden was born with an innate connection to the mystical Starheart that empowers her father. As Jade, she can generate and shape green energy constructs and fly — no ring required.

Few characters carry the warmth and legacy of Jennie-Lynn Hayden, who burst onto the Bronze Age DC scene in 1984's Infinity, Inc. #4, brought to life by the creative trio of Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Jerry Ordway. Over more than four decades of continuous publication, she has woven herself into the rich fabric of the DC Universe, appearing across Infinity, Inc., Green Lantern, and Outsiders — sharing pages with titans like Superman, Batman, The Flash, and Hawkman along the way. With 108 catalog appearances and five collector-recognized key issues to her name, Jennie-Lynn is no footnote — she's a genuine legacy character whose staying power speaks for itself. If you're tracing the connective tissue of DC's generational storytelling from the Bronze Age to the present day, she belongs on your pull list.
