okay, we NEED to talk about the man who broke every rule in the Corps 💚

Simon Baz isn’t just another Green Lantern—he’s a pioneer. From being a fugitive to becoming the first Muslim-American Lantern, his journey is all about one word: COURAGE (al-shuja’a).

✨ The Arabic Tattoo: That "Courage" tattoo on his forearm isn’t just for show—it’s a reminder that willpower starts from within, even when the world is against you.

🔫 The Backup Plan: Remember when he carried a gun because he didn’t fully trust the ring? Talk about a total shift in the Lantern mythos!

🌌 Absolute Universe Shock: The recent events in Absolute Green Lantern #16 have the fandom SHAKING. 

No spoilers, but the legacy of Simon and Jessica is taking a wild turn.

📺 Lanterns HBO: With the series on the way, the manifesting for a Simon Baz cameo is real. Who else needs to see that mask in live-action?

Simon proved that you don’t need to be perfect to be chosen. You just need the will to keep going when everyone expects you to fail.

Are you Team Simon or Team Jessica? Or are they just the ultimate duo? Let me know below! 👇
