But with the encouragement of her extroverted sister, she slowly begins to reconnect with the outside world. For her eleventh hour bravery and near-sacrifice, Jessica was chosen by something that she never imagined she'd ever possess: a Green Lantern Ring.Īs Earth's newest Green Lantern, she remains unsure of herself, often expressing doubt in whether or not she truly deserves the Green Lantern Ring.
#JESSICA CRUZ ANXIETY FREE#
But when Grail summoned the Black Racer, an entity of death, against the Flash, Jessica was able to break free just long enough to intervene and save her friend, resulting in the Black Racer destroying the Ring of Volthoom in the process. When Grail, the daughter of Darkseid, attacked Jessica in The Darkseid War, however, the Justice League was forced to ally itself with the Crime Syndicate once more, and in the process, Jessica lost control of her body to the Ring once again. With the help of Batman, the Flash (Barry Allen), and Hal Jordan, she was able to overcome the ring's influence over her, even learning to utilize its power. She is, however, taken in by the Justice League. During the events of Forever Evil, the villainous Hal Jordan (aka Power Ring) of the Earth 3 Crime Syndicate was killed, and his ring, the Ring of Volthoom, sought out Jessica, using her fear to torment and control her. While she was able to escape, she developed anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, locking herself in her home and shunning outside contact. Jessica Viviana Cruz once went on a hunting trip, and witnessed the brutal murder of her friends at the hands of mobsters. And as of Rebirth, her partnership and platonic friendship with the gungho Simon Baz has developed into a rather entertaining dynamic. Many find her to be approachable and endearing because of her vulnerability. She may not have Hal Jordan's sense of adventure, John Stewart's steely confidence, or Guy Gardner's pompous swagger, but she does possess a quiet yet fierce courage underneath all of her self-doubt that surprises even herself at times. In many ways, Jessica is one of the most unique characters in the Green Lantern mythos. One may ask, "Who is Jessica Cruz, and does Earth really need six Green Lanterns?" And while Earth has certainly accumulated trigger-happy protectors at the same rate that Batman collects orphans, it makes Jessica no less of an interesting character.
