Alana, also known as Green Ghost, was a superheroine whose had the ability to change her density. Her origin of her powers were from an unknown green rock that would change her form into an intangible, green entity. She replaced the original Green Ghost and was a member of the Guardians of the Globe, until they were all betrayed and killed by Omni-Man.
Green Ghost's powers originate from a jade-colored stone she ingests. This transformation grants her the ability to become intangible, pass through solid objects, and fly by adjusting her mass at a sub-atomic level. She can mentally control these abilities, enabling her to manipulate her density and move at high speeds.

Who was the original Green Ghost before Alana?
Before Alana, the Green Ghost mantle was held by an unidentified male. This character's identity is unknown, but his existence is a nod to the comics where the original Green Ghost was also male. Alana took over the role before the events depicted in the show and became a member of the Guardians of the Globe.

What are the capabilities of Green Ghost's density-changing ability?
The Green Ghost possesses the power to manipulate her density, enabling her to become intangible and weightless. She can reduce her atomic mass to near zero while maintaining their chemical properties and volume. This ability allows her to pass through solid matter, retaining her form and consciousness. Additionally, she can fly by adjusting her mass at the sub-atomic level and directing her atoms' inertia, allowing for high-speed flight.

Appearance[]
Alana's human form was an African-American woman with chin-length dreadlocks and brown eyes. She also wore a blue top, solid pink trousers with light pink sneakers, and yellow glasses. While in her superhero form, she retains her figure albeit being entirely green. Like all the other Guardians, Green Ghost wore a piece of equipment resembling a wristband that would signal an alert anytime her or any of the other Guardians were needed in action, however it was only worn outside of her superhero form.
Personality[]
Green Ghost was selfless, caring and heroic much like the other Guardians, as shown when she saves the children during the explosion over the White House by renders them intangible, and safety removed them out of the rubble . She would often have fights with her husband about their relationship, and if it should've been public or not, despite this they seemingly still cared for each other, with her death deeply affecting him. Green Ghost also showed empathy towards her allies, being in shock after seeing what Omni-Man had done to her friends, even turning tangible to grab Darkwing's corpse after it got thrown in her direction, which distracts her long enough for Omni-Man to swiftly thrust his hand through Green Ghost's head, and kill her instantly.
History[]
Background Information[]
Not much is known about Alana's origin, however what is known is that Alana isn't the first Green Ghost, with the first mantle of "Green Ghost" being held by an unknown male. At some point prior to the events of the show, Alana replaced the old Green Ghost and joined the Guardians of the Globe, she would also marry a man by the name of Theo, telling him her secret identity as well.
Protecting the President[]
Green Ghost saving children.
Green Ghost was called upon along with the other Guardians of the Globe to protect the White House and the President from a sudden attack by the Mauler Twins. Amidst the chaos, an explosion over the White House results in rubble falling over a few bystanders standing near the entrance of the building. Green Ghost stepped in and used her power of intangibility to render the children in the area unharmed, while yelling "Stay together" multiple times for the children to stay with her, with one of them being rendered intangible by the touch of the Green Ghost's toe. As she removed the children from the rubble, Red Rush aided Green Ghost by taking them to safety, while ordering Green Ghost to save the President, which she did.

After evacuating all the civilians and military personnel, Green Ghost assembled with the rest of the Guardians to assist in defeating the Mauler Twins. She used her powers to lower the Twins into the pavement, immobilizing them and setting them up for consecutive attacks from her teammates. Eventually, the Guardians successfully defeated the Twins, who were subsequently imprisoned by the Global Defense Agency.
Called to Action[]
Green Ghost flies straight to the Guardians Headquarters.
Green Ghost was in her standard civilian identity, Alana, during a photo session with a model, when her wristband went off, signaling an alert. Alana quickly stated the photo session was over, before rushing off, while swallowing a green amulet. After transforming into Green Ghost, she quickly flew away towards the Guardians HQ.
Betrayed and Killed[]
All of the Guardian of the Globe arrives at the headquarters.
After the arrival of the last Guardian member, Darkwing, Green Ghost, and the other Guardians discovered they were tricked into meeting at their HQ. It was revealed that Omni-Man was the one who signaled the alert as a bait in order to attack the Guardians all at once. After a brief struggle, Omni-Man was able to grab Red Rush by the head, and slowly began to squeeze it. Green Ghost and the other Guardians rushed to save their friend, but they could only watch in utter horror as Omni-Man crushed Red Rush's head between his palms.

A violent fight ensued, resulting in Martian Man, War Woman, and The Immortal being injured. Darkwing attempted to attack, but was brutally countered and murdered by Omni-Man, after being violently slammed against the ground twice. Darkwing's corpse was hurled towards Green Ghost, who became shocked, and distraught after catching her colleague's deceased body in her arms. This provided an opening for Omni-Man to swiftly thrust his hand through Green Ghost's head, and kill her instantly.

Omni-Man then briefly used her body as a shield against Aquarus' water blast, before War Woman successfully lands a blow on Omni-Man's temple, disorienting him, forcing him to removes his hand from Green Ghost's head. Omni-Man eventually managed to brutally murder the remaining Guardians, before he too collapsed from exhaustion and his injuries.
Aftermath[]
Green Ghost's corpse.
After the Global Defense Agency arrived at the gruesome aftermath of the battle, the paramedics team quickly identified Green Ghost's body, with one of the them in shock after seeing a part of her brain splattered across the floor. Her body was taken out of the room offscreen. During the Guardian of the Globes Memorial, Green Ghost's name was mentioned in Omni-Man's eulogy along with the names of her other deceased colleagues.

Her corpse is later seen in a flashback along with Darkwing's, Aquarus', and Red Rush's during the Immortal's recovery of past events of his life.
Later on, Green Ghost is mentioned when her widow husband, Theo, tells Debbie how her death affects him, and reveals her secret identity to Debbie.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
Green Ghost consuming her crystal.
Powers Via Crystal: Upon ingesting a small, jade colored stone of unknown origin, the young woman who would become the Green Ghost would undergo a transformation altering her body's physical appearance, seemingly generating a green aura emanating from within her. Green Ghost would revert back back to her human form after regurgitating the amulet she had ingested to trigger the initial transformation.
Ghost Mode: When in her Green Ghost form, her facial features were obscured to the point of being unidentifiable. As Green Ghost, she possessed the ability to become intangible at will. She was capable of reducing the mass of her atoms to practically zero, yet have them retain their chemical properties and volume.
Picnokinesis: By fine tuning these atomic forces so that they applied to other atoms in her body and not to the sub-atomic structures of the world around her, Green Ghost could pass through solid matter like neutrinos, retaining her form while still capable of conscious thought and action. She could become weightless and intangible and was unable to be touched by solid matter.
Green Ghost turns the children intangible just before rubble would have crushed them.
Intangibility Infusion: Green Ghost could apply her powers to others if she was in physical contact with them. For example, she used her powers to immobilize, and push the Mauler Twins into the ground, before leaving them stuck there for her teammates to continue attacking, and prevented a child's death by making them intangible just before rubble would have crushed them.
Superhuman Durability: Green Ghost's body had far greater durability than normal humans, as evident when Omni-Man uses her body as a shield against Aquarus' water blast, after killing her by thrusts his hand through her head, shown that her body can withstand hydrokinesis attacks.
Green Ghost, and Martian Man flying.
Flight: Green Ghost could fly by altering her mass at the sub-atomic level. Green Ghost was able to mentally control this on a bodily level, so that all her atoms could be given a net gain in inertia in just one direction. This allowed her body to fly at very great speeds simply by willing it. A visible green energy contrail was left behind her while in flight. She was also capable of withstanding the great extremes of temperature caused by the build up of friction within the atmosphere and surviving without difficulties in the vacuum of outer space.
Weaknesses[]
Green Ghost getting distracted, which provides an opening for Omni Man to kill her instantly.
Total Concentration: Green Ghost’s powers rely heavily on her concentration—without it, she risks losing control of her intangibility. Even a momentary lapse in focus can make her vulnerable. Omni-Man exploited this weakness, seizing the opportunity to swiftly kill her.
Physical Limitation: Green Ghost could only apply her powers to those she was in physical contact with.
As a character, Green Ghost mostly stays faithful to the comics, with the main difference between both iterations being their gender, as in the comics the character was originally a male.
Green Ghost's design mostly remains the same as the comics, with the only difference being the lack of muscular and facial features.
Green Ghost in the comics
Their civilian design is slightly altered due to the gender swap, in the comics he is shown wearing a blue shirt and grey jeans.
While they are both intended to be parodies of Green Lantern, the comics made him out to be a more direct parody of John Stewart. However, give that Green Ghost's abilities are flight and intangibility (which has been very rarely used across Green Lantern's vast history), the parody/comparison falls flat.
Green Ghost's powers are also deliberately more gross in the comics, with him having to throw up whenever he reverted to his civilian form.
Her death is slightly different in the comics as he would get decapitated in comparison to the show where she would get her head punched through.
Trivia[]
Green Ghost is loosely based on Green Lantern from DC Comics. However, despite sharing the same color, the two have little in common as powerset's go. She also has powers and similarities to Vision from Marvel Comics.
She seems to be similar to Jessica Cruz as the female human bearer of the superhero mantle
Green Ghost is the second person to take on that mantle in this universe, with the first one being an unknown male.
The first Green Ghost being a male seems to be a reference to the original Green Ghost in the comics, who was male. He is also based off Hal Jordan and John Stewart, being the first bearer of the superhero mantle
