- Considering that the White Lantern Ring called Hawkgirl Kendra Saunders, but revived her as Shiera Hall, it is feasible that something like this could happen.
When Thanos learns that his army is in peril, he brings in his secret weapon. While Thor opens a portal to Asgard to retrieve weapons and gather reinforcements, Thanos sends a black ring through Thor's portal. It finds it's target, and a terrible, booming voice says "Odin of Asgard... RISE!" With that, the king of the Norse Gods is but a puppet of Thanos, putting the entire universe in jeopardy. The Guardians of the Universe over in the DCU sense this great power being corrupted in another world, and choose to try to aid that world's heroes. They cannot directly help them, but they do so indirectly by sending in two of each color ring into the Marvel Universe to choose someone worthy enough to wield the light. Two Green Lantern rings, representing willpower, seek out hosts. They choose Daredevil and strangely, Deadpool, who says he got it because of [[Film/Deadpool Ryan]] Reynolds. Next, two Blue Lantern rings look for people who inspire great hope in others. One goes to Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, and the other to Cable. Then, two yellow rings search for new members for the Sinestro Corps. Those who are chosen must be able to inspire great fear in others. Soon enough, Carnage (who probably isn't really currently dead) and Ghost Rider are inducted. Ghost Rider tries to keep Axe-Crazy Carnage in check. Then, red rings rampage around the Earth, looking for those with great rage in their hearts. Wolverine is chosen due to his occasional "Berseker Rages" and The Hulk also receives a ring because the madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets. The orange rings soon find their hosts who are filled with greed: Norman Osborn and Doctor Doom. The violet rings zoom everywhere looking for women filled with love, and find Invisible Woman and The Enchantress. The last rings to find hosts are the indigo ones who require compassion, which they find in Spider-Man and Cyclops. Together, these light-wielding heroes and villains manage to fight off Thanos's undead forces. Thanos then has a vision of Death, and she rejects him for his endeavors, never truly wanting the whole universe to die. Afterwards, here is much cleanup to do, and many have died in the conflict, but the world was saved. The rings return to the Guardians, and all seems back to normal. That is, until the White Lantern appears in the Marvel Universe just as it had in the DC Universe...
- Sounds like the greatest fanfic ever. Someone must write this posthaste.
- This Troper seconds that opinion. And insert a link to it here.
- Wouldn't Hope be a better choice for a Blue Lantern, because of her name, and the fact that she is the mutants hope.
- I have had a similar idea to this one, but with the Fullmetal Alchemist universe. Red-Scar, Orange-Ling, Yellow-Olivia, Green-Ed, Blue-Roy, Indigo-Major Armstrong, and Violet-May Chang. A Black Lantern version of Hughes, Homhehein, the Homunculi...and even *gasp* Mrs. Elric!
- I had an idea like it too, only with Reborn!. The seven of them and the Shimon get rings, with the entities, to fight BL Byakuran and BL of their future selves.
- As the original troper who typed this, I would have to say Hope would make a better Blue Lantern, especially since Cable's dead.
- This troper would argue that Spidey should get a green ring, seeing as being a Determinator is practically one of his superpowers. Dude just does not give up.
- This is the guy who suggested the FMA thing first, and has perfected it. Replace Armstrong from above with Al, and for the Black Lanterns: Scar's Brother, Lan Fan's grandfather, Olivia's Second-in-command, Ed's mom, Hughes, That snake chick who died IN Al, and...I still need one for May Chang. Any ideas? Planning on getting some fanart of this done soon.
- Here is the first part of that fanart: http://crimsonhorror.deviantart.com/art/FMA-Lantern-Corps-Part-01-187982118
- Warlock of the New Mutants would be great for the Indigo ring, as his mutant power actually is enhanced compassion (everything else he does is just a natural ability of his race, but all the rest of them are cold-blooded killers). And Man-Thing would make an amusing Sinestro Corps member, in that his powers are fear-based.
- Unlikely to happen since it -already- happened (in canon) in a Thanos mini-series. In this series, Thanos gets the Heart of the Universe and doing what he does, destroys everything including reality and the cosmic entities, leaving only himself and Death. They talk and Thanos realizes that there's a 'error' in reality (that is, comic book characters cheating death) and so he remakes reality and fixes up that error. This was back in the early 2000's.
- It's flat out impossible, in that it would require way too much cross-over between DC and Marvel. But the fact that Marvel did a somewhat similar event previously wouldn't be an obstacle; Marvel actually had two events in which dead heroes and villains returned as pawns of a powerful entity at roughly the same time Blackest Night was on the stands - Necrosha-X and Chaos War - so they obviously weren't shy about going to that well.
- This Troper seconds that opinion. And insert a link to it here.
- I think it's more likely that they're in addition to the Endless. Because the Endless aren't really *endless*. Even Death will eventually have nothing left to claim but herself. Nekron isn't Death, he's more....total un-life. He wants everything gone, to return to the empty blackness that is Nothing.
- Exactly. Death of the Endless is the personification border between Life and Non-Life. Nekron is the personification of Non-Life.
- Gaiman once stated in an interview that Death would be there to meet both Nekron and the Black Racer when each of them died. Of course, that probably isn't canonical anymore, if it ever was.
- No, because then he would have to contend with the ultimate force, the mighty undying HERCULE!
- All of you, explain please.
- It's simple: in Dragon Ball, all of the strongest threats in the universe have been killed, so they're the heavy hitters of the first wave. Freeza, Cell, and depending on if you count GT, all the forces from there. That's not even counting the movies with the like of Brolly or Janenba. Not to mention the various other planets that have been blown up and not brought back. Of course, that's just the FIRST wave: it's canon that literally everyone on the entire Earth was killed by Buu, except for a grand total of about six people up on Kami's lookout. So, yeah, the entire population of the planet is second wave "brought back from the dead" BL's. All of Goku's friends have been killed and brought back at least once as well. Goku, Gohan and Vegita are considered effectively the most physically powerful beings in existence by the end of any given story-arc, and they were all dead and brought back, and Goku is the only one who could pull the "completely pure and invulnerable to the ring" schtick, if not for the fact that his purity was overcome by rage to even BECOME a Super Saiyan. There's LITERALLY less than a dozen characters who even have a hope of not being instantly targeted by the rings, among them Mr. Satan, an assortment of the Kais, and possibly a few minor people. Nekron would literally have to show up, find an avatar, and then win.
- Nekron wouldn't even have to do that. All he'd had to do was just raise the dead Z-Warriors, get them to collect the Dragonballs, and...
- Nekron: "My first wish is the ability to exist in the material plane without a physical tether. My second wish is for the afterlife to no longer exist. And my final and most wanted wish is, plain and simple, the extinction of all life."

- This doesn't make much sense-he was clearly distraught when Sue was murdered by Jean, since he fled into Countdown. Meaning he clearly comprehends empathy. I think that the reason the ring picked him is because, without a set guide, they usually target the compassionate.
- However, this does tie in to an Identity Crisis (2004) WMG that Ray was the actual killer and Jean was just driven insane from Ray murdering people to try and win her back.
- Confirmed, Deathstorm makes a comeback during Brightest Night.
- The Great Darkness. The darkness that preceded the universe, and creator of Nekron. Equal and opposite force against the Presence
- Death. Nekron's Good counterpart, and on of the Seven Endless. Created by the Prescence to serve as the actual transition of life to death, and because of this values life.
- Nekron. Nekron is the guardian of the Great Darkness, and is equal to Death. While Death represents the transition of life and death, Nekron represents the lack of life in of itself
- William Hand. The Dragon to Nekron, who represents the opposite of emotion/emotional reaction of death
- H'ronmmer. One of Death's agents, sent to specifically deal with the Martian Manhunters. Like Didi, he's a nice guy who provides both death and life to the Martians
- The Black Racer and Azraeuz: New Gods who became representatives of Death for their race. The Black Racer may work for Nekron in order to deal with gods when the end of life is nigh, though he could just as easily work for Didi, or someone else. The same goes for Azraeuz
- The Black Flash. A minor agent of Nekron that's there to ensure no speedster can cheat death.
