== Parallax is related to The Yellow from [[The Breach]] ==
He's actually a lesser entity serving that [[Buffy-Speak|...light...bug...angel thing]].
== Parallax, the fear entity, didn't exist before Zero Hour. ==
The ''Zero Hour'' [[Crisis Crossover]] involved Hal Jordan, who had done a [[Face Heel Turn]] and renamed himself Parallax, trying to go back to the beginning of time and alter history -- originally, just to prevent the events that had driven him evil, but quickly [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]] into remaking the universe to his liking. Note that the universe ''did'' get [[

Line 14:
It is entirely possible that the yellow weakness was a trick of the Guardians. After all, after failing with the Manhunters, the Guardians could well have decided that their new brand of intergalactic police needed some weakness. Since the power of the Green Lantern is limited only by the imagination, telling a new recruit that he could not affect yellow would have the effect of making his ring ineffective against yellow.
This theory is blown away by the existence of Parallax... or is it? It seems awfully convenient that the madness of the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, brought on by a legitimate trauma, was revealed to be caused by alien possession. If the Guardians had manipulated the minds of their underlings once, why not again?
The Guardians of the Universe created the Parallax being to assuage Hal Jordan's great guilt over his killing spree. This is the equivalent of putting a band aid over a cancer; while Jordan believes he bears no responsibility for his actions, he still has that same potential for madness, which can now fester untreated. This means that Jordan is a ticking time bomb, ready to blow up with a power limited only by his imagination.
Line 24:

Line 58:
* Logically, this extends to our world. The reason we don't have any visibly active Lanterns is because here on Earth-Prime, they're all particularly patriotic and in the Israeli Defense Force and don't dare use their powers visibly.
** Combined with a corollary of the above guess, this means that US President Barack Obama can be expected to ultimately cave to Israeli needs on any major issue, as he requires the presence of the Israeli Defense force to use most of his powers.
*** Actually, that would mean Israel is the Blue Lanterns and America is Oa, which makes some sense culturally and the for the fact that America heavily finances the Israeli military, "unlocking their rings" so to speak.

The presence of a [https://web.archive.org/web/20120609052651/http://www.glcorps.org/vulcan.html Green Lantern of Vulcan] seems to suggest it, not to mention that that universe's version of Zephram Cochrane might've gotten the idea for warp fields from the then-current GL. That's how they flew faster than light.

Specifically, the "good" emotions: Willpower (green) for Khorne, Hope (blue) for Tzeentch, Compassion (indigo) for Nurgle, and Love (violet) for Slaanesh.
* Alternatively, Khorne is the Blood God, and the Red Lanterns use blood as a weapon...
* Yes, Tzeentch is definitely Will (green) and Hope (blue). Slannesh is Avarice (orange) and Love (violet); as its followers are always seeking something. Khorne is Rage (red), while Nurgle is Death (black) as he has a habit of bringing back the dead as rotting zombies, as well as having qualities of Fear (yellow) and Compassion (Indigo).
== There are as-yet-unseen Power Rings in both the Anti-Matter and 'Regular' Universes. ==
Think about it: Sinestro's Yellow Power Ring comes from the Anti-Matter universe, but all of the other colored Power Rings come from the Positive-Matter Universe. This means three things:
# There are "More Heroic" versions of the Yellow, Red and Orange Lanterns in the Anti-Matter Universe.
*** Wielders of more heroic Yellow Power Rings use their powers to create fear, but use it to enforce the law, just like Batman. The Orange Lantern may be more like the Collector from Marvel and steal beings and objects in the interests of saving and preserving them from destruction rather than owning and consuming them. More heroic Red Lanterns would be motivated by righteous indignation -- providing vengeance for those who cannot avenge themselves.
*** Confirmed, more or less.
# There are "More Evil" versions of the Blue, Indigo, and Violet Lanterns in the Anti-Matter Universe.
*** Evil Blue Lanterns would work off wishful thinking and denial of reality, but also since Hope has connotations with faith, they could also be religious fanatics whose beliefs are based on adherence to prophecy---what is Hopeful for them could be bad for others. Evil Violet Lanterns could be rapists or work off Eros to create [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] and unrequited love and relationships doomed to sadness -- just like Cupid, back when people despised Cupid. Indigo Lanterns -- good ones would be kind, doing nice things for people; evil ones would commit euthanasia to end suffering... hmmm....
*** So we have only seen the evil Indigos so far? They have mercy killed a lot more suffering people than helping other people.
Line 133:
Now, lots of things are capable of controlling emotions; but only one of those things has been critical to some of the most important events in DC history. The Psycho-Pirate, a third-rate villain, has somehow been at the centre of two separate world-shattering Crises. This isn't a coincidence. There's a reason for this, and it is that the power of the Mask is much greater than he could possibly understand.
The Medusa Mask is capable of controlling all of the emotional spectrum, is the focal point for the entire cosmology of the DC multiverse, and is perhaps even sentient. It has manipulated people into recreating the universe twice already. And according to Wikipedia, Blackest Night will see the Psycho-Pirate back from the dead, presumably because he is the Mask's preferred host. It's anyone's guess as to what it has planned for us next.
* This was half right and half [[Jossed]]. Psycho-Pirate did come back with the mask and use it to wreck havok in Smallville. Then Super-boy stole it and used to to make a few Black Lanterns feel, destroying them. And then it broke. Guess the writers figured it was a bit of a gamebreaker.
== Larfleeze will die when he loses control of the people he turned into Orange Lanterns. ==
Line 174:
== Sodam Yat will take up [[You Fight Like a Cow|quipping]]. ==
Considering that his main adversaries depend on [[Psychoactive Powers|specific emotional states]] to function or are [[Psychopathic Manchild|PsychopathicManchildren]], a well placed quip would prove devastating to their performance and improve his willpower as well. Even Superman knows that the occasional bit of banter can save lives.
After he comes off his bout of temporary deadness, he'll take this lesson to heart so much that he'll rival [[Spider
== The reveal that {{spoiler|Nekron being the mastermind behind Blackest Night is only a red herring.}} ==
The real matermind is [[Sandman|Death]]. She is tired of DC stoping her from allowing her to claim the dead heroes and this is fundamentally a [[Rage Against the Author]] plot that is pretending to be a zombie story.
* Alternatively [[Sandman|Death]] could be the one to save the day as she represents both ''life'' and death.
Line 184:
*** Not necessarily. Dream appears from time to time- he appeared during [[Infinite Crisis]], for instance, to offer his parents' souls an afterlife in the Dreaming.
** Geoff Johns has enough pull in the DC editing staff to possibly make this happen, but I don't think he'd go for such a Deus Ex Machina idea. I can see Nekron being defeated and blown away somewhere dark and mysterious, then encountering Death, who informs him that she is the true essence of the end before taking him.
*** Nekron is the void, where nothing exists. He is the ultimate ending, since even after death you still exist.
== Superman will get a blue lantern ring ==
Line 193:
== The final color to be revealed will be the Brown Lantern. ==
It will be powered by apathy. And the Brown Lantern Oath will be:
{{quote|
* Nah, Apathy is grey.
** Actually, grey is Sarcasm as [https://web.archive.org/web/20100116105921/http://www.derangedcomics.com/c215.htm this comic] proves.
** Seriously. So far we've seen that only active emotions can be used as a power source. Depression/Apathy/Despair would be aspects of Black (death) and are more of a lack of emotions than an emotion in itself. A far better candidate for Grey would be Curiosity and its Corps members could scour the universe in search of knowledge. Their headquarters could be a [[Library of Babel]].
Line 209:
Copied and pasted from DC comics Message Board - Section: Blackest Night - Topic: No. Oh, god, No. ie. Disappointment at the White Lantern theory possibly coming true - Post by: qwaring, in response to theagentorange:
Unless Indigo 1 was lying.
It seems to me that the Black Lanterns are sending all of the stolen emotional energy to one place, which means they could potentially be combining it into white light. And this means their master needs white light.
We also have to question why would their master wait until the War of Light to strike. Why wait until all of these other Lantern Corps have been created if it's their rings that can put a stop to his plans. That's like waiting until a home owner loads his shotgun before breaking into his house. Why not strike before the war of light. Unless the Black Lanterns need the combined power of their rings.
And who better to sympathize with the master of the Black Lanterns than those who have given themselves over to compassion. Even Indigo 1 said that it's life that's the intruders here. Death came first. Could the Indigo tribe empathize with the black, and are willing to tell a little white lie to Hal and the other Lanterns in order to trick them into sealing their fates. Compassion is often a great motivator for telling lies after all, worrying about the truth being too painful for others.
Or I could be wrong.
Line 229:
This is an old one, but this guy was described as being the embodiment of universal ''hate'', which in today's DCU, makes him the perfect candidate for being the Red Light's embodiment. All Ivan Reis has to do is re-design him to become something that would give kids nightmares, like some primordial monster. I can just imagine what would ensue if the red entity possessed someone filled with hate: their teeth would become fangs, their eyes would be that of blood, and the skin would be ripped off, their body covered in blood a la Kyuubi of Naruto.
== There are many more colors in the emotional spectrum ==
The various colors of the emotional spectrum are all the colors you get when you split white light. But there are '''way''' more colors that humans can't see: for example infrared, far from being a single color, is a whole spectrum, ''ten times wider'' than the visible spectrum. There could also be Gamma Ray, X-Ray, Ultraviolet, Microwave, UHF, Shortwave, AM Radio, and ELF Wave Rings. However these may represent totally alien emotions.
Line 243:
That is, if the writers decide to draw a parallel to, or possibly rip-off, [[The Lord of the Rings]] (spoiler alert for those who haven't read it). Now if you recall, Sam initially wanted to kill Golum, but didn't because of Frodo. That turned out to be a good thing since Frodo went a little crazy in Mount Doom and was probably going to kill Sam, but in his ring-induced madness, Golum bit the Ring off of Frodo's finger and fell into the magma, ultimately destroying the ring and stopping the [[Big Bad]], but I digress.
Larfleeze has also went mad with greed because of an instrument of great power, and in Blackest Night #5, both Atrocitus and Sinestro expressed their desire to kill Larfleeze, presumably because they thought him to be a nuisance. As a bonus, they both killed a close associate of theirs to obtain their respective object's.
Golum has enough in common with Agent Orange that the writers might be tempted to go this route. If anyone has any ideas for more specific scenarios, feel free to type them.
Line 249:
== Kai-Ro will become a Blue Lantern. ==
In the Superman/Aquaman hour of Adventure, Hal Jordan had a kid sidekick named Kairo. Fast Forward to the [[Justice League]], and Kai-Ro is the future Green Lantern. Now, according to his origin story in the JLA universe, at 8 years old he was able to find serenity in order to become a Green Lantern. Nowadays, in light of the [[Blackest Night]] crossover, he seems to have more in line with Blue Lanterns- plus his ring only having its full cpabilities around a Green Lantern ring ties into his whole "sidekick" origins.
== The upcoming ''Brightest Day'' miniseries will be about {{spoiler|Lanternizing the DCU}} ==
Line 255:
* With the exception of Ganthet, their induction was only a deputization for the current crisis. None of them remained a member of their various Corps.
== The Emotional Spectrum is starting to fuel the DCU's Immaterium (The Warp). ==
The Emotional spectrum might be starting to create an Immaterium or affect the Immaterium the DCU might have. In Warhammer 40k the Warp was originally a calm place but then got more and more chaotic with the emotions of the inhabitants starting to influence it. Thereby creating the first 3 Chaos gods. This could also mean some sort of Chaotic entity will be created in this Immaterium for each of the lantern corps.
* This may already be happening, the nascent chaos gods are at present comparatively weak. They are, of course, Ion, Parallax, and so on.
== The rest of the emotional Spectrum are just subsets of Green. ==
(Forgive me if it is already been Jossed or confirmed; I don't read the comic, I have just seen summaries.)So we have Rage, Greed, Fear, Hope, Love, and Compassion. All of these are great sources of willpower. So it is possible that Blue Lanterns are basically just Green Lanterns whose willpower is hope. Note that green it at he center of it. This theory came from the [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Spiral Power]] is unified Lantern energy theory on that page.
* True for Blue Lanterns and Yellow Lanterns.
Line 267:
* She's a ''Violet'' Lantern. Hal's been too busy with [[Green Lantern]] duties to be a good boyfriend. It seems the Violet Lantern Corps wants to recruit lovers who feel their love is unrequited.
== Everything that happened to Hal since [[Crisis
The coma was caused by all of the head trauma Hal experienced in the Silver Age (see [http://www.flickr.com/photos/dlanod/sets/72157594208628528/ The Hal Jordan Head Injury Project]). First postulated [http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/1523342.html?thread=48796558#cmt48796558 here].
== Agent Orange's oath is "I Want It All" by Queen, and it refers to Larfleeze's life story. ==
Because it's just that awesome.
Adventure seeker on an empty street- Just an alley creeper light on his feet// A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt// With the pain and anger can't see a way out// It ain't much I'm asking I heard him say// Gotta find me a future move out of my way// I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
* Larfleeze started out as a "young alley creeper, light on his feet," a thief. The pain and anger that he can't see a way out of is the orange light of avarice. Finding a future refers to Larfleeze ruling over the entire Vega system, forcing the gurdians to "move out of his way."
Listen all you people come gather round// Gotta get me a game plan gotta shake you to the ground.// Just give me what I know is mine// People do you hear me just give me the sign
It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth// Here's to the future for the dreams of youth// I want it all (give it all) I want it all I want it all and I want
It now
* All the people gathering round- Larfleeze's stolen avatars that comprise his corps. Shaking them to the ground of course, is killing them. The 'sign' he refers to is his personal corps symbol, which he brands on everything he feels is his (you know, everything). The future? Dreams of youth? Someone as greedy as Larfleeze would want to live forever (and it seems like he's lived a billion years with the help of the orange lantern).
I'm a man with a one track mind// So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)// Not a man for compromise and wheres and whys and living lies
* This is pretty self-explanatory.
So I'm living it all (yes I'm living it all)
And I'm giving it all (and I'm giving it all)
I want it all all all all
* Living it all seems to fit, but giving it all does not refer to any of Larfleeze's posessions, but rather, his drive to own everything.
* In issue 6 of [[Blackest Night]], The orange ring even said "You want it all" when speaking to Lex Luthor.
Line 292:
== Dex-Star aka Ruffles the Rage Kitty was originally a stray cat in Tokyo. ==
A stray cat that was called [[Azumanga Daioh
* Jossed. He was a kitten named Dexter and was from New York City.
== Krona created the Emotional Spectrum ==
Line 299:
== The Indigo Lantern Oath ==
We all know the indigo oath has something to do with Abin Sur. This Troper found on a [http://dcboards.warnerbros.com/web/thread.jspa?threadID=2000206012&start=15&tstart=15/ messageboard]{{Dead link}} that one of the words in the oath, "nok", translates out into "May Compassion Guide You." So, this is what [[This Troper]] believes the oath is:
{{quote|
* This is awesome and I love it. Johns, make it canon!
Line 311:
Another piece of evidence? Atrocitus used his blood magics to discern the Predator's general location to be in Nevada, and the being who is collecting these Entities appears in Las Vegas.
** Minor problem: The guy taking pictures of the woman was a [[Stalker
== The Red Lantern ring doesn't make you a mindless beast. ==
Line 328:
** {{spoiler|Confirmed in ''[[Green Lantern]]'' #59. The Indigo Tribesmen are chosen by the rings ''because'' they lack compassion -- the rings channel the power of the Compassion Entity Proselyte and forces it upon them.}}
== The next lantern corps will be a flash corps. ==
It's color will be a weird always changing series of patterns on the ring/battery.
Line 357:
== Elementals ==
Since apparently the Martian Manhunter is going to be an Earth Elemental, Firestorm is getting back his Fire elemental persona, Aquaman is going to become a water elemental and the Hawlfolk are going to become air elementals, I propose that Boston Brand AKA Deadman will become a spirit elemental, letting him get back to that incorporeality he so craves.
== Guardian interference in human history ==
In Blackest Night, Ganthet mentioned how they tried to keep humans and Earth out of the Corps and off everyone's radar. The Guardians have probably been sabotaging human development for this purpose.
* Well, it was mentioned off-handededly that some Malthusians fled to Earth and became leprechauns...
Line 420:
== The Ring Slayers in the Green Lantern Corps are {{spoiler|the Guardians' new army}}. ==
* As stated above {{spoiler|the Guardians have plans to create a new army to replace the Corps}} and the Ring Slayers were made and they took out the Lanterns in the future so they went back to destroy through time, which would explain why they weren't in the Guardian's records.
** Jossed. As it turns out, the Ring Slayers {{spoiler|are the Keepers, a race of beings hailing from the planet where every Lantern's power battery is stored, before it's pulled from [[Hammerspace]] for the daily recharge. Evolving with the power batteries lying around, they became both dependent on their energies and immune to the effects of green [[Hard Light]]. The Green Lanterns defeated them by blowing up 2 Sinestro Corps members, scaring the Keepers into submission.}} [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made
== Other Corps will get animal members. ==
Line 436:
== Alan Scott of Earth Two is the "First Lantern" that the Guardians are searching for. ==
As we've seen, the Guardians are searching space for the person who will lead the Third Army that will replace the current Green Lantern Corps. It could be that said savior will end up being in one of the post-Flashpoint worlds of the DC Universe. Also, it would be fitting to have the first hero called "Green Lantern" to somehow replace the newer ones.
== Ganthet will regain his emotions and turn against the other Guardians by {{spoiler|obtaining a White Power Ring and resurrecting the Green Lanterns they killed, including Hal and Sinestro}}. ==
Line 448:
== Jordan's resignation was never accepted in the first place. ==
* After all, we never heard Tomar-Re, Sinestro and Kilowog's reaction to that statement and they would never have let him keep the ring and battery in that situation. Furthermore, when Jordan returned to Oa to speak with the Guardians, no one says anything to him about trespassing or still using the ring. Tomar-Re likely said:
{{quote|
'''Hal Jordan''': You mean you trust a newbie like me with this weapon just like that?
'''Tomar-Re''': Yes, provided you don't cause any trouble with it, I do. }}
** The other lanterns insisted that the ring always chooses a worthy wielder and perhaps in the movie universe one cannot choose to give it up or the Guardians do not step in to take it away until the wearer becomes unworthy. That ought to make the sequel interesting regarding Sinestro {{spoiler|because he isn't shown giving up the green ring when he dons the yellow one, so that means he has ''both.''}}
Line 458:
== Unseen corps, colors, emotions, and oaths. ==
* Color: Pink, Emotion: Laughter, Oath: "HA HA HA HA HA"
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** [[
* Color: Brown, Emotion: Confusion, Oath: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?"
* Color: Gold, Emotion: Confidence, Oath: "I got this"
Line 466:
* Those Corps...need work.
