The Green is an elemental force which connects all forms of plant life on earth, experienced by elementals as an ethereal realm inhabited by the collective minds of the Parliament of Trees.

History

- Black Orchid (Suzy Linden)
- Hyathis (ruler of the planet Alstair)
- Poison Ivy
- Swamp Thing
- Tefé Holland
Prime Earth:
- Black Orchid (Alba Garcia)
- Juniper
- Poison Ivy
- Seeder
- Swamp Thing (Alec Holland)
- Swamp Thing
- Bel Dame

Earth 2:
Another, the Floronic Man, went insane after attempting to connect with The Green through Swamp Thing, but his later version as the Seeder did manage to temporarily become a protector. Solomon Grundy is also purportedly connected to The Green, but he was tainted by aspects of The Grey.[1]
In the parallel universe of Earth 2, The Green chooses Alan Scott as its protector in preparation for a coming threat, and in the wake of a devastating attack by Darkseid. It uses his engagement ring as a conduit for its power, naming him a Green Lantern.
