Dear Geoff Johns...

Geoff Johns is an American comic book writer and is currently the Chief Creative Officer at DC Comics. His past works have been with Green Lantern, The Flash, Superman, and a stretch with Teen Titans.

One of Mr. Johns's latest successes was Blackest Night, a Green Lantern arc that had Hal Jordan facing the undead forces of Nekron. Now this story introduced two new ring colors: black and white. The black rings represent death while the white rings represent life. Now, the Black Rings are pretty much out of the picture, but the White Rings are still in action, with Deadman having the only ring. But I was thinking that there is another character that could use the White Ring to redeem himself. A character that Geoff Johns created himself.

Kid Crusader!

Now, when I first heard of this character, I thought he was a good guy. But it turns out, he's not so great. And that was a little disappointing. I hate zealotry and I feel as though KC's back story could shape him into a good guy. He must be able to see the irony in his relationship with Kid Devil, one using evil for good and the other using good for evil.

What I was thinking was that Kid Crusader(real name unknown) should be given a chance to redeem himself by receiving a White Power Ring and being told to use it for the greater good. It would be a nice touch for a character with such potential. Plus, with Kid Devil dead, what does Kid Crusader have to live for?
