Sinestro/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Apparently, I cause some dissension among you Earthmen. Normally, I'd just have Arkillo devour you, but I suppose some leniency is in order.

  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: While, obviously, I am a complete and unique entity, I have noticed certain disturbing parallels between my life and that of one of your Earth spirits. Consider that I was once the best and brightest of a heavenly host, whose refusal to bow to the narrow-minded and short-sighted dictates of my so-called superiors led to me being cast out, and becoming their greatest enemy. Of course, I do not believe that I have lost any paradise.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Apparently, my depiction by Ethan van Sciver triggers this in you Earthmen. Good.
  • Magnificent Bastard: I like to think of myself as a visionary who is very good at planning for anything. Thanks to my Corps attacking the Green Lantern Corps, they were finally allowed to kill and make themselves less of an empty threat.
  • Memetic Mutation: Some terrestrial 'forum users' think of my addressing a Guardian as a stupid little troll a method of ridicule for rivals on the so-called Internet. Needless to say, I am proud that the primitives may follow a good example yet.
  • Rooting for the Empire: A large number of people, even outside my precious Corps, have expressed their adoration and support for me and my cause. There are many reasons for this, but chief among them is that they have rightly realized that my former masters, the Guardians of the Universe, are doing an ineffectual job running the cosmos, and recognize there might be more success under my command. It helps, also, that I am more charismatic than their seeming champion Hal Jordan.
