Between The Panels: Color Coded Part 2
Last time I compacted the entire Green Lantern history to be easier to swallow for new readers. It was as easy as trying to shove an egg down a bottle. This time I am letting you guys act like the annoying 5 year old that always asks why. You got questions, I have answers.
Do they all dislike each other or is there some alliances?
As rainbow friendly as they may look none of them are powered by Heart. The rings in terms of alliances and rivalries look like a weakness and resistant chart in pokemon. Green is the center and focus of the emotional spectrum. Blue is supportive of Green. Yellow and Green get along like oil and water. Red take their rage out on Yellow, Green, and Blue. Orange is AAAAAAAAAAAALL BY HIMSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF /celinedion. Purple and Violet haven’t shown their “true colors” in terms of where they stand.
Is there actual orange corps or is Agent Orange’s ring so powerful he just makes his troops out of energy?
Agent Orange is the sole Orange Lantern. Every member of the Orange Lantern Corps is actually an orange construct of a dead foe Agent Orange has killed.
If Agent Orange can bring back people he kills from the dead as a orange corp, how much different is he from the Black Lanterns? What’s the real difference?
They aren’t cosmic powered super zombies like the Black Lanterns. They are Tropicana flavored light constructs.
Are the Pink Lanterns really good guys?
If you are referring to Violet (sadly the coloring jobs on some of the covers look pink) harness the power of Love. Star Sapphire has been a long time enemy of Green Lantern. Now there is a whole army of them.
Could Superboy still possibly be a Black Lantern? Or was his body taken into the future?
In Legion of Three Worlds #4 Superboy, Connor Kent, was left in Superman’s regeneration chamber for 1000 years. IF he is a zombie lantern it would be a nice twist but would also tamper with having a streamlined history of connected events between all of Geoff Johns work. It’s up to Geoff Johns.
Could Batman’s Corpse be a Black Lantern? And if it’s not Bruce Wayne, who is it?
If DC comics editorial wants to stomp all over Morrison’s set up for Batman and where Bruce Wayne really at then it is possible. DC as of late is more writer friendly unlike their competitor (Marvel, Spider-Man, JMS… GOOGLE IT!)
Is Earth-2 Superman a Black Lantern?
Yes, he is completely confirmed via DC Comics teaser and a Blackest Night toy line.
Jason Todd came back from the grave when Superboy Prime affected reality in Infinite Crisis. Is it possible he might be one of the first Black Lanterns?
Not possible at all.Jason Todd is ALIVE and is playing his role in Battle for the Cowl.
Are Haggor from the Red Lanterns and Agent Orange the same species?
Everything points to no.
Who are the people Black Hand was bringing back at the end of Blackest Night #0?
DC Comics has killed off many characters over the last few years but there is a running list of who are Black Lanterns:
Superman of Earth-2
Martian Manhunter
Firestorm
Aquaman
Here are the hands amongst on the last page that I recognize:
Ralph Dibney (Elastic-Man)
Sue Dibney
Terra
Mirror Master
