What is Green Lantern?
1.
The name of several comic book characters published by DC Comics. The original Green Lantern, Alan Scott was created by Martin Nodell and first appeared in "All American Comics" #16 in 1940. In 1959 the concept of the Green Lantern was reimagined with the character of Hal Jordan who debuted in "Showcase" #22. Several human Green Lanterns including John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner have followed the tradition of Hal Jordan as well as thousands of alien Green Lanterns across the universe.
The Green Lanterns all share the basic concept of possessing a Power Ring which can create virtually anything the wearer wishes, limited only by the wearer's willpower and imagination. The Power Ring carries a finite charge and must periodically be recharged from a Power Battery in the form of a green lantern.

Green Lantern is like a dick without wings.
Green Lantern is so fat that he couldn't even get his mouth open wide enough to take his diet pills.

Gah... idiots...
Anyway... Green Lantern... a comic book character created in 1940 by Sheldon Moldoff (I believe) for All American Comics.
There have been three major Green Lanterns... the Golden Age GL, Alan Scott, the Silver Age GL, Hal Jordan, and the current Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner.
Green Lantern is still published monthly by DC Comics (who acquired All American in the 40s) and can be found at your local comic shop or bookstore.

1.That random kid in your dorm who claims to have done ridiculously impossible super hero esque things in order to impress a girl.

Green Lantern: There was this one time where a guy pulled a gun on me when i was on the job as an EMT. NO JOKE!
Girl: Really?
Green Lantern: He shot at me and i dodged the bullet; Then i was able to restrain him with my awesome strength and stabilize all the bus accident victims until the ambulance came.
Bystander: The green lantern strikes again!

Originally published by National comics, as a stroy about a man, alan scott, granted powers by, literally, a Green Lantern. During the silver age of comics, National (now DC) reintroduced the character, this time an inter gallactic law inforcer named Hal Jordan. Since that time the role of green lantern has been filled by John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and most recently, Kyle Rayner. The original, Alan Scott, resides on DC's Earth2, and now goes by Sentinel. Hal Jordan died after becoming obssed with power (nd becoming the being Paralax) but was resurected as The Spectre. He has since given up that identity. Kyle Rayner acts as Earths green lantern, and Guy Gardner and John Stewart continue to act as superheros within the Green Lantern Corps.
The Green lantern has the potntial of being the most powerful thing in the universe, so why is Kyle Rayner such a pussy?
