* AscendedExtra: Started out in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} as the name of a corrupt Buddhist monk mentioned in connection with the origin of the [[MirrorUniverse Earth-3]] Lantern counterpart Power Ring and then became the name of the annoying consciousness pestering the villain from within his ring before being reinvented as a major villain in the ComicBook/{{New 52}}.

Once a young comic book fan in a world without superheroes, this Clark found that he was his universe's counterpart to Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}, with all his powers. He helped the united heroes in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', but could not save his own Earth from the Anti-Monitor. With no home left to, he retreated into a paradise dimension... where he watched his favorite heroes descend into UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks. The years of isolation eventually got to him, convincing him that the new universe did not deserve to exist, leading to a RoaringRampageOfRevenge in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. The Guardians imprisoned him after his defeat.

* EvilerThanThou: Pulls this on the Third Army. Tends to pull it on most iterations of Power Ring, too. It's often implied they're working for the ring instead of the other way round.

**
Pulls this on the Third Army. Tends Army, which was created by drawing on his power. When the Guardians overextended themselves, his prison shattered and he took the power back, obliterating them effortlessly.
** A fragment of his soul tends
to pull it on most iterations of Power Ring, too. It's often implied they're working for the ring instead of the other way round.
** Pulls this on ''Sinestro'', of all people, using him and Korugar as the battery to kickstart his ascension, before destroying the planet and utterly dismissing him. While Sinestro is promptly out for blood, supercharged by Parallax, Volthoom is so powerful that having his heart ripped out mostly qualifies as an inconvenience.

During ''Rebirth'', he attributes this to being understandably [[SanitySlippage completely bonkers]] after '''''ten billion years''''' in solitary confinement, and what he really wants to do after all this time is ''die''.

* ICannotSelfTerminate: Post ''ComicBook/WrathOfTheFirstLantern'', he just wants to die. Unfortunately, Nekron informs him that he's now so interwoven with the Emotional Spectrum that as long as there is light, he cannot die. He does not take this well.



* InSpiteOfANail: Jessica and Simon going into the past and meeting his original past self doesn’t seem to have changed much, most of the first Lanterns are still dead, the canon events appear to have still happened, and Volthoom either didn’t recognize or care that the lanterns who ‘arrested’ him are now the newest recruits.

He later considers this a product of his SanitySlippage - certainly, he doesn't bother with sadism thereafter.

Volthoom's counter to ''that'' is that he had no idea what he was getting into - which is technically true, but neither did anyone else.

* PetTheDog: He did legitimately try to be a hero for a good while, before he went completely crackers, and even after, he does tend to show kindness to those who are kind to him - in the distant past, he recognises that Simon and Jessica genuinely tried to help him, he orders [[spoiler: their rings, pieces of his travel lantern]] to take them home, and in the present, he restores the soul of his old friend Rami after the FreakyFridayFlip he pulled, which Tyran'r suggests might be a gesture of reconciliation.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: His initial motivation to work with the Guardians.
Guardians and all his travels around the Multiverse, trying to fix Earth-15. According to Rami, however, his attempts to do this would actually doom Earth-15 if he ever went back, since the power to save it would actually end up destroying it.
* SoleSurvivor: Of Earth-15, and he dedicates much of his extremely extended lifespan to trying to save it.
* SuperPrototype: He considers himself this after easily beating the first Green Lantern ring bearers. Aside from the fact that he's completely mad, he's not entirely wrong - and it's hinted that while he's curious about Kyle Rayner sharing his ability to wield the Seven Lights, he's also a bit nettled by the fact that he's no longer unique.



* VillainRespect: Some people occasionally, and begrudgingly, impress him.
** Saint Walker's indomitable hope and its capacity to force through his warps leaves him stunned and genuinely impressed, remarking that he underestimated Walker - and doubted that he was the first.
** He takes time to talk to Kyle, calling it a meeting of minds for "the emotionally evolved." While his praise is backhanded, and he seems more intent on proving his superiority over the newly minted White Lantern, it's also plain that he's the only Lantern that Volthoom considers even remotely worthy of his time as anything other than a plaything.



* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Having the First Lantern incorporated into his biology caused him to mainline the entire Emotional Spectrum, giving him godlike power and a mental state that could be charitably called 'unstable'. And that was ''before'' he spent ten billion years in a TailorMadePrison.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Having the First Lantern incorporated into his biology caused him to mainline the entire Emotional Spectrum, giving him godlike power and a mental state that could be charitably called 'unstable'. And that was ''before'' he spent ten billion years in a TailorMadePrison. After being sort of dead for a little while, and returning, severely weakened, his sanity is largely restored. Even his bout of omnicidal mania is aborted when he realises that [[spoiler: the pieces of his Travel Lantern are contained in the form of the first seven Green Lantern rings, which could finally get him home]].
