* TheWorfEffect: Unless they're the direct stars of stories involving them, they tend to be the first force to rise up against and fall to a titanic cosmic menace. Part of this is marginally justified by the amount they go through - the survivors are the toughest of the tough, while the rest generally haven't had the time to level up enough to go up against the biggest and baddest.

* SoProudOfYou: When he meets Hal in Emerald Space, he tells Hal - who said that he was always trying to live up to his example - that he had more than do so, by undoing his legacy (Sinestro, who was at that time missing-presumed-vaporised).

Added DiffLines:

* LawfulStupid: They already had shades of this even way back in The70s, struggling with the concept of unjust laws. The difference from their later depictions is that, back then, the Guardians were still genuinely good and wise enough to admit to their mistakes; they were willing to learn and break from their LawfulStupid tendencies when provocked enough.

Character losing to stronger opponents don't count. Also, too fantastical with the power rings.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome :
** During ComicBook/WrathOfTheFirstLantern it takes the combined might of the entire Green, Red, and Blue Lantern Corps, the Star Sapphires, the Indigo Tribe, a White Lantern, and Nekron to take Volthoom down. It stands to reason that a bunch of rookie members of a newly formed Green Lantern Corps are not going to do very well. So all but two of them are wiped out.
** They were given the first Power Rings, which [[UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway hadn't been programmed, didn't have restrictions or safeguards, and had just been made on the fly by Rami]]. This made them extremely powerful, but also extremely dangerous.
