Well if you are not keeping up with anything in the Green Lantern universe side of DC, then what are you doing? Blackest Night is coming! No I have changed my mind these comics are MINE! Well that's what I would be saying if I had an Orange Ring on my finger. I know this must be confusing if you are not up to date on what's happening out in space. Here's the quick breakdown of what we know so far.
Green Lanterns are powered by Will and claim to be 'police' of the universe. They are currently trying to quell the uprising of these other powers of the emotional spectrum. It's not going well...
Ex Green Lantern Sinestro has created his own Corps with Yellow Rings that are powered by Fear. They instill Fear in others. They are more like the Green Lantern Corp then the other factions we have seen so far.
The Red Lanterns are ruled by Rage. They are controlled so much so that they seamed to be blinded that they just attack what they are mad at. They spew blood out of their mouths onto their victims causing them to go into a rage themselves. Their main leader is Atrocious a demon. He has talked about the coming Blackest Night before.
What to say about Love? Well the Violet Rings are controlled by women/girls/chicks/alien-females only so far. As best described by a friend ' It's crazy ex-girlfriend love. Instead of training they have to sit through Fatal Attraction like fifty times.' Creepy! They are working on converting a Yellow Lantern currently that way!
Blue Lanterns are Hope. They are being run by two ex-Green Lantern Gaurdians. We have found out that in order for their rings to function they need to be close to a Green Lantern. They have just also mentioned that they will require the help from the Indigo Lanterns who are Compassionate.
All Mine! Avarice, greed, is the color of the Orange Lantern(s). No much is known about them yet. How their powers work. Recently they showed up and were very angry that someone dared enter their homeworld trying to take thier power. It seams that there use to be a long standing tready between Larfleeze and the Guardians to keep out of the Vega Star system.
We will skip over Indigo and their compassion for now...
Last we have Black Lanterns. The undead that will try to consume DC. Bringing back heroes and villans from the dead to reak havock. Not much else is know except that the Anti-Moniters body is the likely spot for the Central Battery for these Lanters. One of the Guardians scared by the Anti-Moniter seams to be ploting to gain this power.
