{{quote|''In [[Brightest Day]], in [[Blackest Night]]<br />
''No evil shall escape my sight<br />
''Let those who worship evil's might<br />
''Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!''|''—[[Badass Creed|The Green Lantern Oath]]''}}
 
Line 61:
* [[Badass Creed]]: All the Green Lanterns, as well as the various other corps that have spun off from them.
** Alan Scott has his own, albeit less memorable:
{{quote| ''And I shall cast my light over dark evil<br />
For the dark things cannot stand the light<br />
The light of the Green Lantern!'' }}
** This version was originally given to Tomar-Re as a [[Mythology Gag]].
Line 195:
** In fairness this trope is [[Older Than Television]]. The Daxamites are actually the descendants of [[Superman|Kryptonians]], who have been human aliens since [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]].
* [[Humorless Aliens]]: The Guardians, so much that at the end of ''In Blackest Night'' (not [[Blackest Night|that one]]), we get this gem:
{{quote| ...and four cycles later, in the recreation complex, Katma Tui realized that for the first time in many years' service, she had heard a Guardian make a joke. She felt vaguely uneasy for the rest of that day. }}
* [[Iconic Logo]]: It's varied from person to person over the years, but the one used by the Corps itself is the best known.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: G'nort.
Line 253:
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: Ganthet to Kyle in the '90s; today, him and Sayd for the Blue Lantern Corps.
** Also, Hal (as The Spectre) qualifies; quoted in ''Green Lantern'' (Vol. 3) #142:
{{quote| '''Spectre''': ...Be prepared. It is coming. Make yourself whole.<br />
'''Kyle''': Very... very Ben Kenobi of you, Hal... }}
** Alan Scott as well. Early on in Kyle's run as Green Lantern, Alan got him on the right track with how to use his ring and accept his position.
Line 336:
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: The ''colour yellow''. Fortunately it's not really as much of an issue since experienced GLs can easily overcome it.
** For Alan Scott, it was wood. As [[The Big Bang Theory|Raj]] puts it:
{{quote| "So I can take out both [Alan and Hal] with a no. 2 pencil?"}}
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: The Guardians tend to dip into this trope more often than not.
** Thanks to Geoff Johns, Sinestro counts big time
