Lieutenant Green

Lieutenant Green was a member of Spectrum, Earth's primary defence against the Mysterons during the Mysteron War. (COMIC: SPECTRUM, Traitor Black Gives In!) Varying accounts dated Spectrum's founding and the ensuing conflict to either the 2060s (COMIC: SPECTRUM et al.) or the 2080s. (PROSE: 'Jinx Ship' Blasts Off For Mars et al.)

Biography
On 23 September 2067, Green and Colonel White were present at Glenn Field for the return of Zero X from a mission to Mars which had been commanded by fellow Spectrum officer Captain Black. After the giant spacecraft collided on approach with the passenger jet TGW 197 K, Green and White immediately attended the scene in order to assess the damage. White quickly asked Green for Black's report on what happened, but he was unable to provide it, instead telling White that Black had gone. This prompted White to launch a full-scale search for Black though this was unsuccessful and Green later informed him that all reports were negative. (COMIC: SPECTRUM) Green was subsequently mentioned in a list of Spectrum personnel within Pete Tracker's TV 21 article on the organisation, which he wrote following these events after persuading White to do an interview. (PROSE: SPECTRUM is Green)

After Cloudbase was seen to head away from Unity City in the midst of a Mysteron threat, (PROSE: Get the Gunman!) Lieutenant Green finally broke Spectrum's silence in February 2089. He explained that they had been attacked with knock-out gas but were now fully recovered. He also promised that agents would be sent to Unity City as soon as an "internal security matter" was cleared up. (PROSE: Zero X Beats Space Curse!)
