STRENGTHS:

Running Shot with 11 AV, 3 damage and 18 DV Impervious — plus Shape Change! — makes White Hal a strong offense piece. And unlike most of the other WLs, he needn't fear his Force Blast click because A) his combat abilities barely change, trading a point of DV and Imperv for Invulnerability and extra damage and, more importantly, B) his SP Leadership that heals him on 5-6. 

The mid-dial reappearance of Shape Change, his constant damage reduction, and his remarkably stable stats keep him in the fight all the way to the Last White Lantern Click. 

But the main reason he's likely on the team is his trait allowing him to choose ANY of the Lantern Corps' keyword at the start of the game and thus either blend into those themed teams or benefit from other keyword-activated effects. 

WEAKNESSES:

His Energy Explosion isn't really necessary. There's an additional click of Force Blast deep in his dial that could strand him in a bad place.

CARDS TO CONSIDER:

Well, OK, maybe Energy Explosion has a use in qualifying him for RECHARGE, so he has a way of healing on every click but his first. 

IN SUM:

As a Lantern, he's only OK. But he certainly won't drag your teams down one bit and can lead the attack for many of them. 4 of 5.
