Fictional character biography

Daniel Cormac The first Jack O'Lantern is Daniel Cormac of Ireland, who was granted a magic lantern by an Irish fairy. Cormac is a member of the Global Guardians, an international group of superheroes. Cormac was created for the Super Friends tie-in comic, appearing in three solo back up stories in issues #37, #40 and #44. Cormac's first appearance in the mainstream DC Comics universe is DC Comics Presents #46, helping Superman find an ancient ruin in Ireland. He is later seen as part of a group of heroes from Ireland and England trying to save the world in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. When the United Nations decide to fund the Justice League International, the Global Guardians find themselves without financial support and disband. After leaving the Global Guardians, Cormac joins Rumaan Harjavti's army in Bialya. Harjavti is later killed by Queen Bee, who Cormac voluntarily joins forces with. Cormac later returns to the Global Guardians. He helps reunite the Global Guardians and fights Sonar with the Justice League. Cormac later dies of natural causes.

Marvin Noronsa Marvin Noronsa is a native of Bialya who takes over the Jack O'Lantern identity at Queen Bee's behest. Noronsa is able to use Cormac's mystical lantern only after Queen Bee modifies it. Noronsa is later killed in an explosion caused by Sumaan Harjavti, Rumaan Harjavti's brother.

Liam McHugh Cormac's cousin Liam McHugh assumes the mantle of Jack O'Lantern. An Irish freedom fighter who wields a mystical jack o'lantern and is blessed with incredible agility, McHugh has fought evil in various arenas over the past few years. He was a member of the Leymen (Primal Force) and later joined the Ultramarine Corps in Superbia. McHugh joins Doctor Mist's Leymen in Primal Force #0, appearing in every issue until the book was cancelled with issue #14. McHugh appears as a member of the Ultramarine Corps in JLA #26 and JLA Classified #1-3.

Powers and abilities Daniel Cormac and Marvin Noronsa have a mystical lantern that gives them the power of flight, flame projection, teleportation, illusion casting, enhanced strength, and the ability to create fogs. The power of the lantern is at its weakest at noon, and gradually increases to its peak at midnight. Liam McHugh has found a way to internalize the powers of the mystical lantern, and no longer needs to carry it.

In other media The Marvin Noronsa incarnation of Jack O'Lantern appears in Powerless, portrayed by Kimani Ray Smith.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics)

In research: Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jack O'Lantern (DC Comics) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
