Although he was the only living member, along with his constructs, he forms the Orange Lantern Corps, wielding the orange light of avarice. On the distant planet of Okaara, the alien Larfleeze (also known as Agent Orange) hoarded a collection of valuable items, foodstuffs, and his own orange light constructs, formed from the deaths of beings which he had murdered. From the boiling depths of his rage, the Red Lantern Corps was born. The tormented alien Atrocitus, whose home planet of Ryut had been massacred by the rogue Manhunters, harbored a neverending hatred for the Guardians as a result, as well as against Sinestro, who had imprisoned Atrocitus in exile on the planet Ysmault. On the planet of Zamaron, the alien natives learned to harness the violet power of love, resulting in the creation of the Star Sapphire Corps. This Corps wielded the yellow light of fear, and became a grave threat to the Green Lanterns due to the debilitating effect that fearful emotions can have on willpower. The former Green Lantern Sinestro was eventually disgraced and incarcerated after his attempt to subjugate his home planet of Korugar, but escaped to form the Sinestro Corps. Violators of this code were swiftly stripped of their status as a Lantern, and subjected to judgment by the Guardians themselves.Īlthough the Green Lanterns remained the only Lantern Corps for a great while, six other Corps were eventually formed, each represented by another color of the spectrum. These rings allowed the Lanterns to generate hard-light constructs limited only by the user's will and imagination, although each Lantern was required to adhere to a central tenet of non-lethal response tactics. New recruits to the Green Lanterns were chosen from individuals who exhibited a great capacity for overcoming fear, and wielded the green energy of willpower through the use of a power ring. This force replaced the failed robotic Manhunters, who had become a threat to all life due to a programming glitch. The Green Lanterns were tasked with maintaining order throughout the universe, as an intergalactic police force. The members of this force became known as Green Lanterns, named for the shape of their power batteries with which they were able to harness Ion's green energy of willpower. This led to the creation of the first Lantern Corps. The immortal Guardians of the Universe first learned to unlock the power of these entities, when they tapped into the immense power of Ion. The Predator, who represents the far-reaching power of love, appears as a skeletal draconic creature. The embodiment of compassion, known only as the Proselyte, appears in the form of a squid-like creature. Adara, a large three-headed bird, represents the undying essence of hope. Ophidian, depicted as a large serpent, embodies the subtle power of avarice, or greed. The demonic bull, known as The Butcher, represents the overwhelming power of rage. Parallax, the parasitic entity of fear, bears the image of a large insectoid creature. The first of them, Ion, took a form resembling a whale or fish, and represented willpower. For Hal has sworn the oath of every Green Lantern-that no evil will escape his sight.Coinciding with the dawn of the universe, seven different entities were spawned, each representing a single emotion. But despite the strain his Green Lantern identity has put on his life, Hal is an honest man who can operate without fear, and is always willing to protect those in need -whether alone, with the Corps or alongside the Justice League and Earth’s other Super Heroes. He’s had to fight not only enemies, but often friends, colleagues and loved ones. Hal’s life as a Green Lantern has not been easy. Upon his death, Abin entrusted his ring and duties as the Green Lantern of Earth’s space sector to Hal Jordan. Abin explained that he was a member of the Green Lantern Corps, an organization of beings from across the cosmos, armed with power rings fueled by the green energy of all willpower in the universe. The second was when, as an adult and trained pilot himself, he was summoned to the crashed wreckage of a spaceship belonging to an alien named Abin Sur. The first time was when he witnessed the death of his father, pilot Martin Jordan. Hal Jordan’s life was changed twice by crashing aircraft. Test pilot Hal Jordan went from being a novelty, the first-ever human Green Lantern, to one of the most legendary Lanterns to ever wield a power ring.
