Green Lantern/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fan Nickname: Dex-Starr of the Red Lantern Corps, known to some as Ruffles the Rage-Cat. Also called Pukecat in some circles, due to the... acid-blood-puking nature of the Red Lantern power signature.
    • Also, Hal (as Parallax) is called "Halallax", and Kyle (as Parallax) is called "Kylellax" by some fans.
  • Name's the Same: The First Lantern shares a name with another Volthoom, who was either (tn the pre-Crisis Earth Three) a monk who gave the villainous Power Ring his eponymous weapon, or (in the post-Crisis Anti-matter Earth) a benevolent mystical being who resided within the villain's ring. Of course, he may possibly be that person's mainstream counterpart...
  • Shrug of God: Many fans have been asking when the Orange Lantern oath would be revealed. The response was basically "soon" (back in 2010). It's actually taken so long it was made fun of by Lex in Action Comics. It hasn't stopped fans from inventing their own versions and attempting to pass them off as official on Wikipedia.
  • What Could Have Been: Gerard Jones' Emerald Twilight.
    • Ron Marz stated that he was in the process of bringing the Corps back near the end of his run, which would have seen the Corps rebooted into a smaller group led by John Stewart and Ganthet as the Guardians. Unfortunatly his contract ran out, Judd Winick went another way and we had to wait till Rebirth to get a corps back.
      • Also by Marz was the elseworlds Green Lantern: Camelot in which The ENTIRE cast of Green Lantern would take place in the time of Camelot, with Alan Scott as King Arthur, Hal Jordan as Lancelot, and Ganthet as the Lady in the Lake (Marz: He has a dress!)
    • After losing his yellow Power Ring and after the Zero Hour crossover, then-current writer Beau Smith wanted to revamp Guy Gardner as an Indiana Jones-type hero (i.e., without his powers), but he was forced by editorial to add the Vuldarian shape-shifting powers. You can learn more here.
