The real world is not important here. Also, that was five years ago; with waning interest of the TV series and more exposure for Hal, that might well have changed.

I use "arguably" because it's probably never explicitly mentioned. However, as the first, longest and most influential in Earth's history, as well as he is a founding member of the Justice League, he has the highest profile. It's not a stretch. If there are other candidates for the title, please let me know.

It's used in an introduction: it describes the character in blanket terms, a general description. That includes filler, which this is.
