History Characters / GreenLantern

Little is known of the Indigo Tribe as they are a reclusive group of monks with their own language known to only to themselves (and untranslatable by the Green Lanterns.) The Indigo Light stands for compassion, defined as the ability to empathize with others while retaining distance and understanding the motivations of others. As such, they are able to access and redirect the powers of other lanterns when they are present, they possess the powers of flight, teleportation (though this consumes a lot of their energy), and flight auras. They are also able to force compassion on those who have none. [[spoiler: The rings actually target people who lack compassion, meaning that ''every member of the Tribe'' is a BrainwashedAndCrazy former CompleteMonster.]]

* [[spoiler: BrainwashedAndCrazy: ''All of them''. The rings ''force'' compassion onto them.]]

During the final battle of the Sinestro Corps War, one of the female Guardians of the Universe was burned by the touch of the Anti-Monitor. [[Understatement This fundamentally changed her]]. She soon began exhibiting suspicious behavior, including goading her fellow Guardians into increasingly dubious decisions regarding the GLC and emotion, manipulating other Corps into conflict with the Green Lanterns, and dispatching agents to locate the corpse of the Anti-Monitor. All the while, she secretly began composing a "Book of the Black", chronicling those who would play a role in the upcoming Blackest Night.

As the Blackest Night loomed, Scar engineered a riot in Oa's Sciencells, during which she destroyed the planet's shield. With the descent of the black rings, Scar turned on her fellow Guardians, revealing her allegiance to Nekron, and taking them prisoner. She then travelled with them to the dead planet of Ryut, where she transported the Black Lantern Central Power Battery (containing the corpse of the Anti-Monitor) to Earth in time for Nekron's emergence into the physical world. Once on Earth, she was destroyed by Hal Jordan and the New Guardians, who combined their individual lights into white light, obliterating her.

During the Blackest Night, the Black Lantern of Ronnie Raymond, aka Firestorm, stood out among his colleagues as one of the most sadistic and twisted. Upon his creation, he sought out Jason Rusch, the current host of the Firestorm Matrix, and forcibly seperated Rusch and his partner/girlfriend Gehenna. He then bonded with Rusch, and, using information plucked from Rusch's brain, turned Gehenna into salt whilst harvesting her heart. During the later battle in Coast City, one of the White Rings regurgitated by the resurrected Black Hand attached itself to the Black Lantern Ronnie Raymond, bringing him back from the dead and separating him from Jason.

[[spoiler:Post Blackest Night, the Firestorm Matrix was found to contain a third presence (aside from Raymond and Rusch, both of whom now share Firestorm's abilities), which was disrupting how the matrix functioned. Basically, if either of Firestorm's hosts becomes too agitated, they could trigger a second Big Bang (especially dangerous, as Gehenna's death has driven a wedge between the two). As both of Firestorm's hosts are made aware of this by Professor Stein, the presence within the matrix makes itself known, emerging in the form of a ringless Black Lantern Firestorm. This entity, calling itself Deathstorm, absorbs both Stein and Jason's father,and sets about on a dual mission: to entice the aforementioned second Big Bang, and to destroy the White Lantern Power Battery, which crashed to Earth in New Mexico at the conclusion of Blackest Night. Upon corrupting and lifting the battery, a mysterious voice orders Deathstorm to bring it the Battery, as well as an army. Deathstorm proceeds to create Black Lantern duplicates of the remainder of the Twelve.]]

She was murdered, but was eventually resurrected. She got back together with Guy, but refused to travel the cosmos with him, much to his chagrin. During BlackestNight, she was turned into a Black Lantern, but was freed by the power of the White Light.

!!Other Black Lantern Leaders
* Scar
** TheMole: Big time
** WellIntentionedExtremist: She came to believe the only way of keeping the universe peaceful and orderly was to wipe out emotion, and thus all life.

* TwinThreesomeFantasy: Guy tried one with two robot {{Catgirl}}s, only for them to fall for Salaak, the grumpy no fun at all guy who runs the Corps in place of the Guardians.

* GotTheCallOnSpeedDial: After the destruction of the Corps, Guy took SInestro's evil Yellow Ring just so he could continue fighting crime.

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Kyle seems to be subject to the most gratuitous and numerous butt-shots in any comic he's in. Considering he's a Lantern, that's a lot.

The founders and upper management of the Green Lantern Corps. Originally from the planet Maltus, one of their scientists performed an experiment to observe the beginning of creation, which had dire consequences for the universe (just ''which'' consequences depends on which {{Cosmic Retcon}}s have occured). In atonement, the Maltusians swore to fight evil, and moved to the planet Oa at the geographical (cosmographical?) center of the universe. In studying energy sources for their new police corps, they began harnessing emotional energies, before settling on the green light of willpower as it was least likely to drop an EmotionBomb on its users.

* AngryBlackMan: His BronzeAge personality.

* {{Sidekick}}: To Hal in the SilverAge.

** Depends. If he came from the GoldenAge, then wooden equipment would be very effective against Alan Scott.

A group of elite Lanterns who are not assigned a sector, the Honor Guard go where they are needed. Currently, Kyle Rayner, John Stewart, and Ganthet are on this Guard.

Without a doubt the most powerful Green Lantern in the entire corps, Mogo is ancient, wise, and nearly unstoppable in combat. The reason for this is simple: ''Mogo is a planet.'' His history has never been revealed, and if anyone knows how a sentient planet came into being, they're not talking. Alone among Green Lanterns, Mogo can create energy constructs of any color, indistinguishable from "real" objects or people.

* [[GoodAllAlong]]

* ShoutOut: You can find a Xenomorph and many others in group shots.

* ShoutOut: The Rage Entity is a Red Bull. Possible ShoutOut to ''TheLastUnicorn''. Or maybe the drink.
** This is also a weird inversion of BullSeeingRed, since the Rage Entity hates everyone '''but''' himself.

* Complete Monster: Most of the Sinestro Corps members do not seem to have any redeeming or positive qualities,neither are most of them AffablyEvil or EvillyAffable.Just read their biographies
* Nightmare Fuel:In a literal sense

A recent Guardian experiment, these Lanterns are selected to act as internal police for the Green Lanterns. Their minds are linked to the Book of Oa and its laws, and each Alpha Lantern is given two power rings as well as the ability to drain the full charge of any standard Green Lantern ring. This group has parallels to the Manhunters, most evident in their rigid, dogmatic mentality and their mantra, "No Lantern escapes the Alpha Lanterns." John Stewart was offered the chance to join this division but he declined.

A group of elite Lanterns who are not assigned a sector, the Honor Guard go where they are needed. Currently, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, and Kilowog are on this Guard.

Just before Hal Jordan was resurrected, Parallax used the Spectre's power to force Guy's Vuldarian powers into dormancy while giving him back a Green Lantern ring to make Guy its slave. It backfired, and Guy helped defeat Parallax and restore Jordan. Today, Guy is once more a HotBlooded Green Lantern, the very first member of the Guardians' Honor Guard.

John was given a second chance when Kyle Rayner created a new power ring for him to wield. John aided in Hal Jordan's resurrection and went on to become his partner in Space Sector 2814. Today, John serves as a reliable soldier in the fight against evil and the Corps's voice of reason and compassion.

All Cyborg-Superman wanted, however, was death, which Sinestro promised he would get after Earth was conquered--but this was not to be. Even though his body was almost totally destroyed in the Sinestro Corps War, the Manhunters found his corpse and rebuilt him. His current whereabouts are unknown.

In the wake of the ''BlackestNight'', none were more shocked than he was to find himself back in the land of the living. He realized that he alone still wore a White Lantern ring, which soon spoke to him. It began bringing him to different places, allowing him to witness the other resurrectees (unseen and unheard, not unlike when he was a ghost) and asking him to help them.

* TheWatcher: Some of his actions as Deadman (as he can't intervene without possessing someone's body), and his role so far as a White Lantern.
