![]() ![]() Being the most powerful emotion close to the center of the spectrum, the light of hope can only reach its most powerful heights when paired with the willpower of a Green Lantern, but while using a host to channel its power, Adara is affected by no such limitation. Taking the longtime love interest of Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris, as its host in the past, this emotional embodiment is the icon of the Star Sapphire Corps and is one of the only entities that can be somewhat influenced by its current host, making The Predator a scary-looking yet fortunately not a strictly evil being.Ī more passive, gentle, and uplifting entity, Adara acts as the Blue Lantern Corps' hope-filled mascot that looks like a giant bird with three heads. Representing pure unadulterated and untampered love, this entity is highly dangerous since love without limits can be a very corruptive and manipulative thing. Often forcing beings around it to act irrational and overly savage in their actions, The Butcher is one of the more violent entities on the Emotional Spectrum and is a manifestation that isn’t easy to conquer.įollowing in the overpowering emotion of rage, the equally as powerful emotion of love is guarded by a monster known as The Predator. Brought into existence after the first act of anger and rage led to violence and murder, The Butcher is a wildly powerful and all-consuming being that has taken on the leader of the Red Lanterns, Atrocitus, and even the Spirit of Vengeance himself, Spectre. Next up is the rageful bull-like entity of the Red Lantern Corps dubbed The Butcher. Feeding off of the fear that these Yellow Lanterns create in their victims, Parallax was once imprisoned in the Green Lanterns’ Central Power Battery, originally giving the Corps a now conquered flaw that saw their rings ineffective against the color yellow. Loosely tied to one another due to the parasitic influence this next insect looking entity has shown to have exerted over various Lanterns in the past - Hal Jordan most famously when he murdered the entire Corps - Parallax is the embodiment of fear and is the mascot for the equally as terrifying Sinestro Corps. Bonded to both Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and Green Lantern Sodam Yat in the past ( both of whom took on the name Ion), this entity is a passive creature that imbues its host with omnipotent powers that are near unrivaled in the cosmos, something that the Guardians of the Universe have taken advantage of more than once. Looking like a giant whale with flowing, fish-like fins, this green entity came into existence when the first sentient being willed itself to move. It's one of the more thought-provoking elements of this issue and shows that it's more than just a simple crossover event.First up is the most iconic and well-known entity of all: the Green Lantern Corps’ very own Ion. Instead, he stands as the symbol of DC's reboots, while Pariah symbolizes a desire to return to the unaltered past. That could have led him to this moment again, where he could rebuke Pariah with a little more authority. Then, he could have gone through a redemption arc and taken responsibility for his actions. Hal Jordan may have remained a villain if Green Lantern: Rebirth did not change Parallax's identity. Nevertheless, both started a crisis and wanted to reshape reality to how they saw fit, regardless of the consequences. Neither intended to become villains and both viewed themselves as the heroes of their stories. ![]() After losing so much, both would do anything to reclaim it. ![]() Both started off as heroes and lost their homes tragically. In many ways, Pariah is the same as Hal's Parallax. Aside from that, not shying away from Hal's role in another crisis event leads to an interesting parallel. The villain of this story reminds readers of a time before the retcon, embracing DC's history, rather than ignoring it is very refreshing. The Infinite Frontier era, and especially the Dark Crisis event, are all about the legacy of the DC Universe - and that includes the parts that are often forgotten. ![]()
