Anthropomorphic Personification: Difference between revisions

** One ''Sandman'' story featured the anthropomorphic personifications of stars, specifically the suns of solar systems. In addition to our sun Sol (who is an awkward teenager of only a few billion years), there's also Rao of Krypton (a red giant), and the green sun of Oa, the Green Lantern Corps' home planet.

** A DC anthology book called ''World's Greatest Superheroes'' contains stories having some of their biggest names essentially representing virtuous things: [[Superman]] as peace, [[Batman]] as justice, [[Shazam|Captain Marvel]] as hope, [[Wonder Woman]] as truth.

** [[Green Lantern]]'s enemy Nekron, [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Blackest Night]]'', is not the Anthropomorphic Personification of death, as many people believe; but of the cold, dead cosmic void and absence of life (yes, there's a difference). But there ''is'' a(nother) personification of death in Nekron's servant Black Hand. And Black Hand is one of several [[Energy Being|Energy Beings]] that personify the emotional energies that the Green Lanterns and similar corps draw power from: the others embody rage (the Butcher), avarice (Ophidian), fear (Parallax), willpower (Ion), hope (Adara), compassion (Proselyte), and love (the Predator); and an embodiment of life that includes all emotions.

** In ''[[Shazam]]'' Captain Nazi claims to be this for, well, Nazis.
