In short he was far more analogous to that era's Superman. Instead he spent most of his time empowered by his magical Lantern to just fly and punch people. There were no green light constructs, those were added retroactively after the Hal Jordan Green Lantern was introduced. The Green Lantern as he appeared in these classic Golden Age comics was a far cry from the Green Lantern we know now. He's more famous for having left comics and moving into advertising where he invented the Pillsburry Dough Boy. Weirdly, while so many of the creators of the day would go on to be celebrated for their creations, Nodell seems to be little more than a footnote in comic history. Alan Scott appeared for the first time in All American Comics # 16 in 1940, a co-creation of artist Bill Finger (who notably was the artist responsible for all things Batman) and a guy named Martin Nodell.
