Hal Jr. is the second superhero called Air Wave,[1] succeeding his father Larry Jordan, the previous Air Wave.[2]
History
Being a younger cousin of the Green Lantern Hal Jordan, his desire is to become his sidekick, but Jordan continues to refuse this for fear of his cousin's safety. He volunteers fingertip radiotherapy for cancer patients, but with his radio powers he believes he can do more.[1]
He proved how useful his powers could be in successfully dealing with the invasion of the radio people of Kwyzz, finally gaining the approval of his older cousin as an authentic superhero.[1]
Hal was later taken captive by the Childminder, where the unusual properties of the island in which he was being held captive apparently caused him to revert to a somewhat younger age. Alongside the The Lost Children, Hal eventually escaped.[citation needed]
