The Jade costume history

 

Daughter of the first Green Lantern, Jenny Lynn Hayden developed the power to generate the same mystical Starheart energies that fueled her father's ring and became the hero known as Jade. Able to fly and create any object she could think of out of fiery green energy, Jade had all the powers of a Green Lantern without the need for a power ring. Jade's first costume was a white-and-black sleeveless bodysuit with white boots and and green Starheart symbol. When Jade left her original team, Infinity Inc, to join the corporate superhero team known as the Blood Pack, she donned a dark green-and-silver bodysuit with a pocket belt and a modified star symbol. Jade discovered that the Starheart that was the source of her powers was a sentient being with very dark urges. The Starheart tried to make Jade it's vessel and gave her a starfield patterned black bikini with silver gloves and boots as her new costume. Jade rebelled and sacrificed her powers to seal the Starheart away. Jade's boyfriend Kyle Rayner (the current Green Lantern at the time) gave Jenny a copy of Hal Jordan's (the second Green Lantern of Earth) power ring and with it she wore the classic Green Lantern costume minus the mask. As she began to embrace her role as Earth's newest Green Lantern, Jade altered her costume to make it more her own, making it primarily black and white with Kyle's Green Lantern symbol on it. When Kyle absorbed a massive amount of Green Lantern energy stored in the sun itself, he became the Ion and used his new powers to tap into the residual Starheart energy in Jade's DNA and recreate her powers. Jade celebrated the return of her powers by changing the symbol on her costume back to a star symbol and added white gloves. When Jade became the leader of the hero team known as the Outsiders, she wore a sleeveless black-and white body suit with long black gloves with Green Lantern symbols on the shoulders. Jade died on a mission in outer space, but was resurrected by newly created White Lantern ring. As a White Lantern Jade wore a white-and-silver costume with the White Lantern symbol altered to look like her original symbol. Jade decided that the power of a White Lantern wasn't meant for her, and gave up the ring. She recreated her original costume with the addition of black sleeves, white gloves, and a glowing green crystalline version of her star symbol.
