Green Lantern: The Animated Series/Characters: Difference between revisions

== The Crew of the Interceptor ==

=== Hal Jordan ===

 

Green Lantern of Sector 2814, homeworld Earth. Hal Jordan is constantly at odds with the Guardians due his tendency to [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right|do what's right]], regardless of the political consequences. This attitude drives him to steal the ''Interceptor'' and hunt down the Lantern killers threatening frontier space.

* [[Averted Trope|Pretty Good]] [[Horrible Judge of Character|Judge of Character]]: Lampshaded.

* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: The main problem the Guardians apparently have with him; despite being competent and meaning well, Hal has no problem stealing a prototype ship from them, disobeying direct orders to not go in a precise place or punching a viceroy in the face <ref>Well, technically, he punched the viceroy in the ''stomach'', then headbutted him in the face.</ref>

* [[Team Dad]]: To the point that some fans have come to refer to him as "[[Fan Nickname|Papa Hal]]".

 

=== Kilowog ===

 

Green Lantern of Sector 674, the last survivor of Bolovax Vik. He serves as [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|drill sergeant]] for the Corps. Kilowog often plays the voice of reason to Hal's impulsive actions. Like Hal, however, he has a strong sense of justice and joins him in his quest to find the Lantern killers.

 

=== Aya ===

 

The ''Interceptor's'' Nav-Com AI. She serves as the [[Naive Newcomer]] to Hal's group, learning what it means to be a Green Lantern from their example.

 

=== Razer ===

 

A Red Lantern who turns on Atrocitus after being pressured into destroying an inhabited world. Razer's wife died in the wars on his home planet, and her loss inspired the rage which drew the ring to him.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: He becomes part of Hal's team after saving them.

* [[Ignore the Fanservice]]: Proves to be completely immune to the charms of the Star Sapphires. His [[Heartbroken Badass]] status seems to be the primary reason why.

* [[The Lancer]]: Along with Kilowog.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: When Aya comes up with a new Lantern oath for him, since he finds the old one abhorrent, he thanks her for the effort. {{spoiler|This is despite the fact that the old oath is the only one the Red Lantern battery responds to.}}

* [[The Snark Knight]]: He often makes pessimistic comments about the situation when in Hal's team, with a heavy use of [[Sarcasm Mode]].

* [[Start of Darkness]]: The Spider Guild's torture device reveals the story of how he became a Red Lantern.

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Even as The Atoner, he's focused on the mission and suffers from a lack of empathy to anything outside of it.

* [[Tsundere]]: Type A Toward Aya. She's the only one he's nice to. {{spoiler|In the first season finale, his feelings for her allow the Star Sapphires to teleport him to her location. Not that he'll admit it.}}

 

=== Atrocitus ===

 

Leader of the Red Lantern Corps. His world was destroyed when the Manhunters ravaged the Forgotten Zone. He created the Red Lanterns to exact vengeance upon the Guardians, who he believed sent the Manhunters on purpose. Despite his crusade being based on the deaths of so many, he is willing to do far worse if it means having his revenge.

 

=== Zilius Zox ===

 

Atrocitus' right-hand man, Zox is easily the most bloodthirsty of the Red Lanterns, to the detriment of his ability to rationally think things through.

 

=== Bleez ===

 

* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]

 

=== Cleric Loran ===

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: Seems to be so; when Hal posed as a Red Lantern soldier and asked him to relate Atrocitus' origin, he was rather nice to him and gladly accepted his request.

 

=== Ragnar ===

 

Iolande's brother. He is obsessed with becoming a Green Lantern, so obsessed that he murdered one thinking that the ring would come to him. Naturally, this failed, and Ragnar quickly spiraled out of control. His rage at his continued failure eventually drew a Red Lantern ring, granting him the power he was seeking.

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: He apparently envied his sister's right to the throne. That the ring chose her over him only serves to fuel his rage.

* [[The Power of Hate]]: Gets a Red Lantern ring thanks to his rage. As a notable exception to the other Red Lanterns (unless their origins change for this series), he is arguably the only Red Lantern who is purely motivated by selfishness. Whereas they got the required rage due to the loss of someone close to them, he is only driven by his own inferiority complex. By comparison, even this adaptation's far less sympathetic Atrocitus is still driven by great personal tragedy (the loss of his homeworld).

 

== The Green Lantern Corps ==

=== Shyir Rev ===

 

A Frontier Lantern that Hal and Kilowog rescue from the Red Lanterns. He dies while delaying a [[Earthshattering Kaboom|Liberator]] from destroying his world, allowing Kilowog to save its populace.

 

=== Ganthet ===

 

A Guardian of the Universe. Ganthet is the voice of reason on the Guardian council, tempering Appa's adherence to the rules over doing what's right.

 

=== Appa Ali Apsa ===

 

A Guardian of the Universe. By far the most vocal member of the council, Appa Ali Apsa believes in the Guardians' mission to maintain order in the universe, which puts him at odds with Hal's sometimes chaotic actions.

 

* [[Green Eyes]]

** [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: {{spoiler|When Sayd compares their imminent demise to what the victims of the Manhunters must have felt, he finally decides to do the right thing and make amends for their past failures.}}

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: To him, the loss of one planet is an acceptable sacrifice to ensure the security of all the galaxy.

 

=== Sayd ===

 

* [[Green Eyes]]

 

=== Salaak ===

 

Personal assistant to the Guardians.

 

=== Iolande ===

 

Ruler of Betrassus. She becomes a Green Lantern following Ragnar's murder of Green Lantern Dulock.

 

=== Mogo {{spoiler|The Living Planet}} ===

 

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Pulls a major one alongside Saint Walker to aid Kilowog against the Red Lantern armada.}}

 

=== Queen Aga'po ===

 

* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Thought the most clement act toward Razer after his true love was killed was to kill him as well.

 

=== Gia'ta ===

 

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: The first of the Star Sapphires to do so. She spread it to the rest.}}

 

=== Galia ===

 

* [[Action Girl]]: She's a warrior even before she gets the ring.

== Others ==

=== Carol Ferris ===

 

* [[All Women Love Shoes]]: Upon losing the {{spoiler|Star Sapphire uniform}}, she says that while it didn't suit her, she will miss the boots.

 

=== Saint Walker ===

 

* [[Badass Normal]]: Able to take on Razer single-handedly and unarmed.

* [[Prophecy Twist]]: He came to Mogo because he was told he would find the savior that would defeat the Red Lanterns. Mogo sent him up a mountain, where he found nothing. {{spoiler|His refusal to succumb to despair in light of this fact summoned the Blue Lantern battery to him, and reflected on its surface he saw himself, the savior he was looking for.}}

* [[The Shrink]]: Throughout his conversation with Razer, he continually tries to point him along a path not filled with hatred, even turning hostile remarks back on him as self-probing questions.

'''Walker:''' Do ''you'' have a problem with you? }}

* [[Technical Pacifist]]: The only attack he makes in his fight against Razer is a [[The Paralyzer|paralyzer]] to temporarily disable Razer.
