They're a group of He Who Fights Monsters

Dex-Starr-""I find one who hurt you. I kill. I good kitty."

@Ginger: He was a bit joke character who showed up in one issue of the Red Lanterns introductory storyline.

His popularity is what gave him a name and a backstory.

hmmm, kinda like a certain wall-eyed pegasus........

I was thinking that

I was always most interested in green lantern. Can't say why. I guess I just thought he sounded the most interesting (powers wise)

Still haven't read any of his comics though

And I thought Ch'p was weird...

@ginger: The Red Lantern Corps are a group of beings who are given power rings that draw power from the emotion of pure RAGE, mostly the kind that comes from intense loss and suffering. They attack anyone that causes the type of suffering its members have experienced (slavers, murderers, rapists, criminals, etc.) and brutally MURDERS them, not caring for the consequences and oftentimes ignoring laws and justice systems. Sometimes though, members have no qualms about doing TONS of collateral damage to get at their targets and will take down anyone that gets in their way as well.

Its HIGHLY situational really.

Dex-Starr really isn't THAT weird once you look at his backstory: Born in Brooklyn, adopted by a kind old black lady, lived a very happy and loving life, adopted mother got shot and killed by a thief breaking into his home, incapable of being with dead mother because of insensitive cops, forced to live on the street, and then nearly killed when some street punk came along and tried throwing him all the Brooklyn Bridge.

Its the kind of story that could've happened to anyone, really. It just so happened that the protagonist is a house cat.

Thread Hop What I miss?

All this talk about Fallout is making me starving.. Is there a comic version of it?

If not then I'll read the fanfic at some point, maybe over the summer...

@The Freeman: Still not the weirdest Lantern out there. That honor goes to Dkrtzy RRR a sentient mathematical equation.

Comics are weird like that.

What are the different corps again and what are they like?

Corps correspond to the visible spectrum and an embody an emotion (sort of).

• Red- Rage

• Orange- Avarice

• Yellow- Fear

• Green- Will

• Blue- Hope

• Indigo- Compassion

• Violet- Love

   HEY!!!   

Now I know you guys know more about then I do, no use ignoring.

@Mio Wait, isn't Sinestro a yellow lantern? What's he afraid of?

Should I be concerned about this?◊

Cheerilee! For Shame!◊

@ Ginger

It's more like they use fear as a weapon.

Yes. She has broken your monitor and will go through it.

@Ginger: Yellow Lanterns inspire fear in others, and as Applelight said they use it to fuel their powers.

edited 4th May '12 6:18:53 PM by Mio

Whelp I'm fucked. Lets just hope her relative size is maintained when she comes through. I do have a small monitor for my comp.

Cheerilee! You naughty girl!

Go to town Mac!

   You'll all pay, for ignoring my question!!!!!   

Answer: Not yet.

Oh right, I thought each lantern was POWERED by their emotion

@steve Pfffffftt, I think I read a fic based on that Cheerilee picture

@Ginger They are, just that the Yellow ones use the fear of their victims, not their own.

Of course, like all comic book canon, the Lantern Corps are all extremely convoluted and inconsistent.

If the green lantern movie wasn't so shitty it would have been perfect example of how the yellow rings worked.
