Are Blue Lanterns basically useless if there is no Green Lantern around?
>>155262635you can hope for love, and you can hope for death. so i dont see why they wouldnt be
>>155262681I just remember reading them not being able to do the whole construct thing without a GL around
>>155262690i suppose it makes sense that you would need some will to hope.
>>155262635Can a yellow ring be used for good
>>155262783isnt that why we shout and try to scare bears?
>>155262792Thought Sinestro did some CIA MK ULTRA Hydra brainwashing conditioning shit
>>155262817theres been times when people can over power the ring since its just a wifi battery. im sure anyone can will themselves to try to instate fear.
>>155262783Yes. Guy Gardner used a yellow ring—Sinestro’s old ring in fact—for years as a hero. I remember it spoke to him in Korugarian, which he couldn’t understand.
>>155262899>it spoke to him in Korugarian, which he couldn’t understand."hal plz go""no"
>>155262923Hal?
>>155262899Perhaps its time I read some Lantern comics. I'm running out of Punisher stuff.
>>155262845>im sure anyone can will themselves to try to instate fear.very easypeople do it all the time here
>>155262941i thought it was closer to ralph
>>155262941Hal? I hear he's a big guy..
>>155262953yeah but it has to actually work, all you get in /co/ is being called a tranny or a shill. i cant say that either of those accusations instils fear in me.if you called me a jew then....just maybe ill reel back in horror
>>155262783Couldn't all of them?
>>155263015only if youre caucasian and from earth.
>>155262635How did the IP survive before introducing those? You would think other emotions having their own lantern corps would be there since the beginning.
>>155263054you have the fucking world at your fingertips. you can search anything you want. find out for yourself, fucking hell you might even read a comic.
>>155262987out of great FEAR comes great HOPE if you only WILL so
>>155262635Is that the standard Sapphire corps uniform?
>>155262972For you
>>155263015Black Lantern rings seem like they would have a very limited capacity for good.
>>155263165good question as male Sapphire Lanterns are extremely rare for some reasonI think it just changes the color spectrum of your original attire
>>155263145i prefer the grey lanterns.
The only Lantern comic I have ever read is when Supergirl becomes a Red Lantern for a bit.
>>155262635Yes. As Hope without Will is useless. Leave it to Johns to be on the nose.
>>155263054The concept of an evil corps was pretty old, but the franchise had a few reboots before hand.
Is Sodom Yacht.. Sodom Yat? A jobber
>>155263229Compassion too, but the real reason was to keep them as support characters
This image was around 2009 and wonder if it is still accurate.
>>155263261Healsluts.So what's the range? Do I have to be standing next to a GL or just on the same planet?
>>155263273It was more to kill their agency, similar to what happened to Larfleeze
>>155263273idk
>>155262635Why is the White Lantern wearing Deadman's outfit?Or DISCO Nightwing's
>>155262635Doesn't matter.
>>155262635How does Alan Scott factor into all this
>>155263431He is Deadman, he was revived for a bit during brightest day
>>155262783I'm gonna need you to read Sinestro's 2014 series, he goes on a generational run having the Sinestro Corps do unequivocally good deeds even if their methods are a bit questionable.
>>155263165Not anymore because they realized they looked like absolute shit, now they have more standard Lantern uniforms instead of weird space open bikinis.I for one miss the tasteful Silver Age leotard, Carol should be allowed to show some leg.
>>155263580I will anon. I've been getting back into reading comics again and I will be needing something new after I'm done reading Frank taking War Machine's suit for a joy ride.
>>155262635Mostly yes, but depending on the writer they can also heal and make some limited constructs.Don't expect like a gun or a giant blue dragon.>>155262690Again, the construct thing usually depends on the writer since at this point all Corps can do it, but their main purpose is supercharging the Greens.In Sinestro's run however, St. Walker and his ring get experimented on to support the Yellows instead.
>>155263015Orange is impossible to be good with.
>>155263622Do they still have like the 'super strength' and whatnot?
>>155263580FEAR only works to control a population if their combined RAGE isn't greater. After that comes wars with indiscriminate killings and the genocides to remove one half of the problem.
>>155263645I read FEAR and heard the Fear from MGS3
>>155263654lol
>>155263641Super strength isn't a thing any Lantern has unless the wearer of the ring is actually super strong.If you mean something like "energy that could be used as a weapon to like shoot lasers and stuff", no, the Blues are strictly support.
>>155263668gay
>>155263513How would a gray lantern be motivated to fight for anything?
>>155263689Look man, they couldn't just make all the Corps be the exact same, they needed some differences, a lot of people already complain that they're too similar the way that they are right now.I think in the animated series Walker made a staff to hit people with, but that's about it.>>155263700They aren't, that's the joke.
>>155263717Yeah true but it would suck balls to be a BL and getting your ass handed to you because there's no GL around to help
>>155263668I think they only keep flight, personal shields and some blasts.>>155263668Technically, they get super strength from their protective auras.
>>155263602Sapphire should represent fashion sense to amplify your physical attributes for attraction.
>>155262635Would Steve be a good GL?
>>155263859That's kinda just dressing up like a slut anon, it would be sexist and problematic to do that, it's not the 2000s anymore.Even then they were trying to push the idea that love is a bit more complicated than just physical attraction.If anything, the Star Sapphires should go beyond simple lust, "love" is an extremely broad concept that they've never fully taken advantage of.
>>155263935Adams has somewhat recently teased that.
>>155263951Do these things have minds of their own
>>155263935They did, but it was ignored, repeatedly even.From time to time they get a story about non-eros love or the climax involving not-eros love.
>>155263968If you mean the rings, yeah kinda, they're like small computers with their own basic AIs.
>>155262635Indigo is dangerous
>>155263935So what you're saying is the Sapphire Ring should emphasize and insinuate what YOU are trying to attract instead of just generalities. Like how you want to look out in public, but in an honest fashion. You are chasing or fighting for love and you want to show how you see yourself in which you want to be loved as.
>>155264118So dangerous they're the Corps DC has done the least with.
>>155264148>>155264118which is greatcompassion is so dangerous that evil simply cannot fight against ityou see it in real life all the time by the powerful and wealthy
>>155264147Tp add to it. These power rings work on a spectrum of light as a visual quo for when they function so it would be like a hypnotism affect for manipulation in which can be used for both honorable or sinister ends.
>>155264147That is not even half close to what I said, where the fuck did you get all that?
>>155264177me, I just posted that
>>155262635basically, yeah. But Ethan Van Sciver is an arch-conservative, and when created them, he wanted to drive the point home that just sitting around and hoping was not useful to anyone. It's also why indigo rings also "brow beats" their recipients into "compassionate" compliance.Blue and Indigo are basically a conservative's critique of college campus liberalism.
>>155264247Sounds chuddy
>>155263635Doom will succeed where Richards has failed
>>155263268It's mostly accurate but there now are actually Happyness and Saddness Lanterns.
>>155264463Have those actually expanded into a Corps yet?Last I checked the only Sad one was the guy Hal cucked, and the only Happy one was some little axolotl.
>>155264475Dude they barely use half the corps the have they aren't going to expand the one off schizo corps.
>>155263700they might.
>>155264399>super rare heroclix pull!
>>155264399Doom should be Yellow lantern but then it'll just turn him into a Scarecrow.
>>155264758doom is obsessive, not retarded like scarecrow
>>155264758Pride is just a form of Greed.You want every recognition. Every title. Doom wants to be the Sorceror Supreme and the Scientist Supreme and also he wants Richards’ wife and daughter too. The whole Secret Wars event was basically him taking everything for himself then giving the world the bare minimum back that they need to worship him.
>>155264758Doomwank has ensured that Latveria loves and respects Doom, not fears him
>>155264502Good, I'm fine with that.
>>155264758Doom is a glutton for power and prestige. He needs to be above scrutiny and obsesses over anyone who humbles him.>>155264945Being rightfully afraid of Atrocitus doesn't mean he should be a Yellow Lantern.
