Who everyone already knew it was going to be. From James Robinson:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you always know that you wanted a gay character at the forefront of the Earth 2 series?
JAMES ROBINSON: The original version of Alan Scott was an older man, and he had a superpowered son, Obsidian, who was gay. The fact that Scott was young now [thanks to a universe-wide reboot] meant Obsidian no longer existed. I thought it was a shame that DC was losing such a positive gay character. I said, “Why not make Alan Scott gay?” To Dan DiDio’s credit, when I suggested it to him, there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. I would have LOVED this a lot more if Alan Scott was still an old man and Jade and Obsidian were still in continuity. The fact that the deaged Alan to a 20-something-year old wasted the potential.
