Origin
Hal Jordan was a test pilot trying to get from under the shadow of his dead father, an ace Air Force pilot. Hals dad was killed inside his jet when it crashed,both Hal and Carol Ferris were watching as the jet crashed. Hal then made a promise to his mom that he would never join the air force after the incident. Hal then ran away when he was eighteen and broke his promise. Later when Hals mom was dying he wanted to see her but his brother Jack said his mom didn't want to see him. After hal was discharged from the air force his mom past away and his brother Jack was murdered. Only him and his brother Jim are the sole survivors of the Jordan family.One day when testing a flight simulator,when an energy field surrounded him and took him to Abin Sur. The simulator landed out in the desert, near a crashed alien ship. The ship was piloted by Abin Sur, a member of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic peace keeping force. On the verge death, Abin Sur, with his power ring, sought out the most worthy successor on Earth.Despite some character flaws, Hal Jordan was given the power ring and its power battery. He journeyed to the planet Oa, home world of the Green Lantern Corps, and trained with Sinestro, a Corps member that would later become one of Hal's deadliest enemies. He became the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 (home of Earth) and formed many relationships among the superhero community.Cross Country
In the 70's Hal was spreading himself thin, dealing with the Guardians galactic problems and the close to home problems on earth. Hal went on a rode trip with fellow hero, Green Arrow, whose personality couldn't be more different then Hal's. It was during that time the Guardians assigned a back-up Green Lantern to sector 2814 named John Stewart and also depowered Hal's ring. After Guy Gardner's presumed death, Hal met and fell in love with psychic Kari Limbo, however once Guy returned from the dead Kari left Hal at the alter to take care of the comatose Gardner and Hal went back to Ferris Aircraft.Exile
During the early 80's; Hal was exiled into deep space for a year to pass a test made by the Guardians to prove if Hal was still loyal to the Corps or if his priorities were protecting Earth.It was during this time that Hal created a base of operations on a asteroid somewhere between sector 2814 and 2813.After his return to Earth, Hal decided to leave the Green Lantern Corps. After this decision John Stewart was chosen by the Guardians of the Universe as the replacement of Hal to be the Green Lantern of sector 2814.
Emerald Dawn
During the mini-series "Emerald Dawn" the origin of Hal Jordan was retold in a different way.
Thirsty for Power
This story relates how Hal Jordan became the person he is. In the story there's also explained how was that Hal obtained the ring of Abin Sur after his death.
Emerald Twilight
When his hometown, West Coast City was destroyed by the Cyborg Superman and the alien warlord Mongul to turn it into something called Engine City a replacement for Warworld,Hal attempted to restore the city, but The Guardians of the Corps refused to give Hal more power.
Hal lost his senses and began to defeat other Corps members including; Tomar-Tu, Boodikka, KE'Hann, Laira, Graf Toren, Kreon and Jack T. Chance claiming their power rings as his own. Hal even went on to reluctantly defeat Kilowog.
He reached Oa where he battled Sinestro (who was let free by the guardians) the battle ended with Hal's victory by snapping his neck and leading to the death of Sinestro. Then he proceeded to kill off all the Guardians except for Ganthet who had retrieved Hal's ring and went on to Earth to find Kyle Rayner.Hal then absorbed the emerald energies of the central power battery and destroyed it.Seemingly evil with power, Hal became the villain known as Parallax.
Zero Hour
Parallax is the responsible for starting the crisis known as Zero Hour. This was an attempt of him to rewrite history the way he thought it should be.Parallax fought against many of his former allies, including the newest and last Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner. His power proved so great that he was even able to knock out Superman with one devastating blow 
Consumed with power
Final Night and Redemption
When a being known as the Sun Eater threatened to destroy Earth, Hal's goodness returned. He performed some "good deeds" such as healing a paralyzed John Stewart (another former Green Lantern of Earth), resurrecting his best friend Green Arrow, and sacrificing himself to defeat the Sun Eater and reignite the sun.
Consumed with power

He is now trying to atone for the wrongs he committed under Parallax's influence.Rebirth
In 2005 Hal Jordan returned from the dead in the miniseries "Green Lantern: Rebirth"
Rebirth of a GL
During this story it is revealed that the name "Parallax" came from an ancient yellow symbiote. Parallax was a creature that instilled great fear in entire civilizations, which made him stronger.Because of the menace Parallax represented, the Guardians imprisoned Parallax within the Central Power Battery on Oa.The imprisonment of Parallax was the reason behind the so called "Yellow impurity" that made the Green Lanterns vulnerable to the color yellow.However when Sinestro was also imprisoned in the Power Battery he woke Parallax and they started to elaborate a plan against the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps.Parallax searched for a proper host in the Green Lantern Corps to infect, and he chose Hal Jordan of Earth. After founding his objective, Parallax entered Hal's ring and stayed there without being noticed.When Coast City was destroyed by Cyborg Superman and Mongul the control of Parallax over Hal Jordan heavily increased, making him mad.It was also revealed that Sinestro never died and that it was only a illusion created by Sinestro to finally break the will of Hal Jordan and drive him completely insane.When Hal destroyed the Central Power Battery and killed the Guardian (Except Ganthet) he accidentally let Parallax escape at his full power and complete. This was the explanation to the lack of Kyle's ring vulnerability against the color yellow.This story concludes when thanks to the Spectre, Ganthet, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, John Stewart and Killowog; Hal returns from the death again as a Green Lantern without any influence of the Spectre or Parallax.
