!!Alex [=DeWitt=]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alex4.jpg]]

Kyle Rayner's girlfriend. Alex was killed by Major Force and stuffed into a refrigerator for Kyle to find; this was the first major tragedy he suffered as a superhero.

* TheLostLenore: To Kyle. Of all the women Kyle has loved and lost, she is the one he always comes back to and serves as his motivation for being Green Lantern — so he could be the man she always thought he could be. [[spoiler:Notably, in all the changed realities Volthoom offered to give Kyle, the one Kyle chose was the one where Alex was alive. He outright stated that he didn’t care about what happened to him, only that she was alive and happy]]. This is later commented on during a talk between Jade and Donna Troy (Kyle's first two girlfriends after Alex), with the former confessing that she feels as if she will always be in Alex's shadow.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: The TropeNamer.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: She first appears in ''Green Lantern'' Vol. 3 Issue #48. She's killed off in issue #54.

->'''AKA:''' Tora Olafsdotter
->'''Homeworld''': Earth

A Norwegian superheroine whom Guy Gardner met in Justice League International and began dating. She had trouble dealing with his JerkAss moments, her best friend Fire couldn't stand him, and she realized that she was also attracted to Superman. She was heartbroken when [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman Superman was killed by Doomsday]], but she patched up her relationship with Guy - at least until ''ComicBook/BrightestDay'', where Max Lord's manipulations made him and everyone else think she tried to kill him. See the [[Characters/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League character sheet]] for more.

->'''Homeworld:''' Earth

Hal Jordan's older brother. Jack was a lawyer who was elected district attorney of Coast City; he was critical of his brother both in and out of costume.

->'''Homeworld:''' Earth

Hal Jordan's younger brother, Jim works as an office drone for a Coast City insurance company. Jim is quiet and timid--a huge contrast from his daredevil brother--and is overly concerned with safety. He and his family were among the first to move back to Coast City after its reconstruction, but quickly began to consider moving away again due to the city's reputation. However, thanks to Hal's example, Jim decided to stick in there and loosen up with his family.

->'''Homeworld:''' Earth

Jillian is a pilot in the Air Force (call sign-Cowgirl), working along side Hal Jordan. She was shot down and made a POW, but fought her captors every step of the way before being rescued by Hal as the Green Lantern. She and Hal eventually fell in love. During a date, Carol Ferris, possessed by the Star Sapphire Gem, attacked them. However, after noting that Hal had feelings for Jillian, the Gem transfered to her. Hal and Carol worked together and freed her from the Gem's hold, but the Zamarons arrived and made Hal choose a girl - "winner" became the new Star Sapphire (Hal decided to TakeAThirdOption and chose a Zamaron, forcing them to retreat to deal with it). She and Carol parted on friendly terms, but both love Hal and he is conflicted on which one he will choose in the end.

* ActionGirl

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Thomas_Kalmaku_7376.jpg]]
->'''Homeworld:''' Earth

Ferris Aircraft mechanic and Hal's friend. Tom was aware of Hal's secret identity almost from the start and helped him out in his adventures. Years later, after Tom got married and started a family, Carol Ferris made him a full partner in Ferris Aircraft.

* BerserkButton: In modern stories, calling him "Pieface", which is an offensive reference to his Inuit ethnicity.
* OutOfFocus: He's almost never seen these days, but the fact that he's now a CEO means he's probably doing well.
* RefusalOfTheCall: After the ''Millennium'' crossover, Tom was chosen by the Guardians to be one of the ''New'' Guardians, but he declined because he had a family to look after.
* SecretKeeper
* {{Sidekick}}: To Hal in UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks.
* SocietyMarchesOn: Tom Kalmaku was called "Pieface" because he was Inuit. (Modern-day stories tried to explain this as a pun on "Eskimo pie", which was never stated in the Silver Age). This nickname was later quietly dropped. Kalmaku debuted in 1959, when the thought of a non-white person being trusted as a SecretKeeper would've been controversial before considering that Hal entrusted Kalmaku with the lantern, and even had Tom replace him as Green Lantern on at least one occasion.

!!Charles "Doiby" Dickles

When Alan Scott was incapacitated by a group of thugs, a simple taxi driver called "Doiby" Dickles donned a makeshift Green Lantern costume and came to his rescue. Impressed by his spirit, Scott invited Doiby to become his sidekick and eventually revealed his identity to him.

In the waning years of the Golden Age, Doiby accompanied Scott on an adventure in space, where he fell in love with Princess Raima of the planet Myrg. Rather than return home with Scott, he married the beautiful extraterrestrial and has remained on Myrg since (briefly getting involved in a couple of adventures with Comicbook/YoungJustice).

!!The Harlequin
->'''AKA:''' Molly Mayne-Scott

A secretary at Alan Scott's broadcasting company, Molly Mayne fell in love with Green Lantern, so she adopted the costumed persona of the Harlequin to commit harmless crimes to attract his attention (to no avail, as he loved only one thing--fighting crime). Over the years, she joined numerous gangs, including the Injustice Society, only to covertly betray them; Green Lantern eventually learned she'd been hired by the FBI to infiltrate them. After this, Green Lantern revealed his secret identity to her and the two were married.
