Sorry for delaying this game.


OK both a Golden Age character and a Silver Age character said the following:

"...and I shall shed my light over dark evil.
For the dark things cannot stand the light ..."

I want the Silver Age character.

Golden Age was Alan Scott.

Silver... Charlie Vickers?

Golden Age is Alan Scott, but I wasn't asking for him.

Charlie Vickers is not correct.

Tomar Re?

Yup. They gave Tomar Alan's oath as an homage.

Ok, here we go....this character's first words were, "Hello girls!"

Hints coming if necessary...

Phantom Girl?

Crackerjack from Astro City?

no..here's a hint....when she says this line, her face is hidden..as it is in her first few appearances...

Mary Jane Watson from Spider-Man

That's it, Xben! She was speaking to Liz Allen and Betty Brant several issues before we actually got to see her face! Take it!

"Fear hits me...like that other time...for the barest of instants. That last time had been enough to cause nightmarish, perception-distorting hallucinations. This time....I covered my eyes...dreading the failure as much as the visions I might see. What I saw...was a rooftop."

Batman?

Sounds like Batman, doesn't it, especially in a story like "KnightsEnd" or something? But it isn't. First hint: You've got the right publisher

Hal Jordan?

Rag Man?

Neither Hal Jordan nor Rag Man.

The quote comes from a comic which was not a regular issue of a regular monthly series. In other words, it's from a mini-series, special, one-shot, annual, secret files, or something like that.

Here's another quote by the same character from the same title:

"The violence became distilled with a lanquid after-image--every movement precious--an artwork. The punk was as scared as I was. Lucky--he fired...and missed. With the flash of the gun blast frozen in its beauty. My lower back was treacle-soft. Colors bright--distracting--dazzling. The grain of the brickwork was beautiful. Body was like mercury. had to concentrate or I'd melt. Kept fighting--despite the spectrum flicker-flashes. I won--though I don't know how."

Edited by XBen to correct typo ("lower" instead of "lover")

Vigilante? (Adrian Chase)

Nope

Another quote, same character, same title, a bit more revealing:

"Forget it, Al...just bring him down"

[edit]

OK, another couple of clues. First of all, this quote appeared in a mini-series, and an Elseworlds one at that (although I think I've heard rumours that when it was originally presented, it didn't have the "Elseworlds" stamp on it, but that this was added later, for the trade)

Then another quote, "No...brain and body...transformed simultaneously...had to be. And you...lucky you weren't the one...they killed poor [NAME DELETED] to do it."

Still by the same character, from the same series (this guy doesn't actually have a huge amount of dialogue in this series, so I'm beginning to run low!)

No more guesses? OK, two more quotes, getting more and more illuminating:

"It seems--the work continues. Work developing--redeveloping--the miracle. Again. Yet Again."

and "Nowadays they seem to lose out of habit. I beat the [name deleted]--as usual--delivering the knock-out punch just before I felt my powers ebb. So what happened? what terrible thing happened today? As the power left me, I looked at my timepiece. It was 4:31"

I'm figuring this has to be some version of Hourman (because of the remarks about time and the power ebbing). Because of the earlier reference to "Al", I'm thinking that's Al Pratt.

So this should be Rex Tyler, the original Hourman. Though what series these quotes are from, I have no idea?

Editing my answer since I think Seth does actually have the right character. The quotes are from The Golden Age (which indeed wasn't labelled as an Elseworld untilt eh trade came out) and at first I thoguht it was Manhunter, but I now think Seth is almost certainly right just because of the last quote which I didn't read properly.
