Diamond Jack was Jack Lansing who was given a black diamond of power set in a gold ring by an old mystic from the Far East, with it he was able to form anything his mind could imagine, shoot bolts of lightning like energy and fly, however how long the object lasted or how well he flew depended on his concentration and force of will.
Yeah, sounds like Green Lantern…. Only Diamond Jack was published before the first appearance of Green Lantern in All-American Comics.
