== Notable Black Lanterns and Associated Characters ==

=== Nekron ===

 

The Death Entity. The universal personification of oblivion--the absence of all light, life, and emotion. Nekron is the shadow cast by the light of life and emotion. For eons, he was trapped in the Land of the Unliving, a kind of limbo dimension where dead souls linger before judgment, but the death of the immortal Krona brought the universe of the living to his attention. He seeks to bring an end to all life, extinguishing the light of emotion and bringing the universe back to its original state of being: darkness and death.

* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: With death and darkness being order, while light and life falls under chaos.

* [[The Power of the Void]]

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Its hilt holds a black power battery.

* [[Time Abyss]]: Nekron is as old as the universe itself. The darkness that created him is older than that.

* [[Touch of Death]]

* [[Walking Wasteland]]

 

=== Black Hand ===

'''Homeworld:''' Earth }}

 

* [[It Got Worse]]: Initiates several of these moments in ''[[Brightest Day]]''.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]

** [[Totally Radical]]

* [[What Could Have Been]]: The creators hinted at further plans for Deathstorm after ''[[Brightest Day]]'' despite his destruction in the event, but with Firestorm rebooted from scratch in the [[New 52]] relaunch it's very unlikely he'll be coming back.

 

=== Scar ===

 

During the final battle of the [[Sinestro Corps War]], one of the female Guardians of the Universe was burned by the touch of the Anti-Monitor. This fundamentally changed her, to say the least. She soon began exhibiting suspicious behavior, including goading her fellow Guardians into increasingly dubious decisions regarding the GLC and emotion, manipulating other Corps into conflict with the Green Lanterns, and dispatching agents to locate the corpse of the Anti-Monitor. All the while, she secretly began composing a "Book of the Black", chronicling those who would play a role in the upcoming [[Blackest Night]]. It was evenutally revealed that she had been ''killed'' by the Anti-Monitor and was now Nekron's agent in the land of the living. She was destroyed during the Blackest Night by Hal Jordan and the New Guardians, who combined their individual lights into white light, obliterating her.

 

* [[The Mole]]: Big time

 

== The White Light ==

'''Base of Operations:''' Earth }}

 

After the battle, only one of the resurrected heroes, Deadman, still had a white ring. A white Power Battery has also appeared, but nobody has yet been able to lift it.

 

** Not ''literally'', but close enough.

** Specifically, Oa is at the center of the universe. Earth is at the "center" of the Multiverse, with the Earth of the main DC Universe sitting at the base of the multiverse supporting the other 51 earths.

 

=== The Entity ===

 

The Life Entity--the living embodiment of the White Light of Creation, the being who represents life itself and, indeed, brought life into existence. The Entity came into the universe through unknown means and found itself on Earth, where the process of evolution was sparked. Over the eons, its progeny--the lesser entities of the emotional spectrum--manifested, while the Entity itself slept in Earth's core. The Entity is the opposite of Nekron, the yang to his yin.

 

=== [[Deadman (Comic Book)|Deadman]] ===

'''Homeworld:''' Earth }}

 

Boston Brand was originally a trapeze artist who went under the stage name of "Deadman". Unfortunately, the stage name became literal when he was killed by a mysterious hook-handed man during a show. He spent the next several years as a ghost under the Hindu goddess Rama Kushna, solving crimes and aiding the superhero community from the other side.
