The 绿灯侠 Lǜdēng xiá aka Green Lanterns of China

The Multiverse has multiple variant of the Green Lanterns, including those existing in other sectors of space such as in the universes of Earth-One and Earth-D in the Green Lantern Corps. However, on those Earths themselves these heroes mostly resided in the United State, such as Hal Jordan and Alan Scott of Earths One and Two. That said, other counties has their own predecessors of those wielding the power rings on North America, originating in the Asian continent. Scott’s lantern was origins designed by the ancient Chinese lampmaker named Chang, while the Tibetan monk Volthoom bequeathed his emerald lantern to the criminal known as Power Ring, the Earth-Three version of Green Lantern.

In fact, for centuries a group of Chinese monks likewise possessed the emerald lamp which they eventually gave to Alan, while their rival formed his version of a Corps in his Green Dragon Tong. This Tong sought to unlock the power inherent within the glowing green meteor from which their master first crafted the original lantern.

During the fall of 1978, just as Chang finally finally untapped the full power from his meteor stone to lead his Chinese Tong on Earth-Two, and Earth-One something similar happened. The communist agent Woo Fong with his scientists created Sino-Supermen, which could crudely replicate some abilities of American superheroes, although using these powers ended in their users’ lives. 

Something similar occurred decades earlier on Earth-Two when Doctor Kichung attempted to make a race of superhuman simian hybrids which Tex Thompson battled. Just as Tex defeated Kichung, Batgirl defeated Woo Fong and his faux-forces. Unlike the Chinese faux-superhumans, the Asiatic supersimians continued to live on in seclusion for an indeterminate amount of time.
