When the evil Green Lantern doppleganger Power Ring is killed, his weapon, the Ring of Volthoom selects Jessica as its new host. Most Corpsmen are chosen because they possess the power to overcome great fear, but Jessica was initially chosen because she was crippled by fear.

The rest of the Green Lanterns of Earth all look up to Scott as a mentor of sorts for his decorated service and position as a founding member of the Justice Society of America, itself a predecessor to the Justice League. Alan Scott is the Golden Age incarnation of the Green Lantern character and is the first to ever hold the mantle.
