In his spare time, you can find him entertaining kids as Spider-Man or Darth Vader at birthday parties or scaring the heck out of them at haunted houses. By Michael Jung Published Aug 07, When the Green Lantern Corps was born in , a new mythos came with it: that of the Malthusans, the oldest beings in existence.
When their own planet was destroyed, the Malthusans migrated to Oa and began anew. Even casual comics readers have likely also heard of the Red Lantern Corps, and anyone who watched the animated series met at least a few Star Sapphires, Oranges, and Blues.
I know I have had a few I wished would go away sooner, Emotional Electromagentic Spectrum take the wheel. The Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum is, at least in we-can-fly-around-in-space-tights-land, an energy field fed by the emotions of all living things. As one does, I guess? Only two beings have ever been able to harness the entire spectrum simultaneously: Krona, one of the Malthusans who originally discovered the ability to play with colors, and Kyle Rayner. Those who tap into rage are more likely to be controlled by the energy than they are to be able to control it.
Sometimes, depending on the wearer, the beams and blasts make sounds. Energy Constructs : The rings can construct anything the wearer can imagine from hard-light energy, as long as they are willing to make it. The more determined the wearer is, the more complex and intricate these things can be. The constructs can even be so complex as to form working machines, computers, and even people.
Flight : The rings allows the wearer to fly in atmosphere or in space, and can achieve incredible speeds, moving from planet to planet in a matter of hours. Invisibility : The rings can make the wearer or anything else invisible. Matter Manipulation : A Lantern can use their ring to manipulate nearby matter, such as water, for various purposes such as a construct that acts like an energy construct but can block something yellow and may serve a purpose that an energy construct couldn't perform.
Mind Control : The wearer of the ring can use it to plant post hypnotic commands or control a person. Phasing : The rings allows the user to go through walls. Probing : The rings can probe the Lantern's or another person's mind, allowing him to uncover memories or the person's thoughts.
Ring Duplication: Each ring can duplicate itself, creating a second ring which may be given to another as a backup, for protection, or to help the lantern in times of great need. This duplicate ring is exactly like a normal ring but will last only twenty-four 24 hours. Through the unique act of linking up with a member of the Green Lantern Corps , these hopeful Blue Lanterns hands-down have the least combat-ready rings in all of DC Comics, yet in a way they also have the most powerful ones.
Brian is first and foremost a nerd in every way shape and form. He likes to compare himself to a black hole, consuming any and every form of entertainment unlucky enough to get caught in his gravitational pull. It's not uncommon on any given day for him to read a couple comics, settle down with a good book, watch a few movies inside and out of the theater , catch up on his ever growing but never depleting streaming queue, challenge himself with a few good video games, and of course, write his heart out.
