Line 9:
And now that I have one, beware...
 
Who am I, you may ask?
 
I am Sinestro.
Line 17:
Formerly [[Green Lantern]] of the planet Korugar in space sector 1417 and arch nemesis of Earth's so-called premiere ring-bearer Hal Jordan. I was created by the likes of John Broome and Gil Kane - who incidentally, modeled me after a Terrestrial actor called David Niven - and made my debut in issue number seven of the first series of Jordan's title in 1961.
 
I sought to use my ring to preserve order my way and had hoped to use my methods rather than those of the Guardians of the Universe to bring total peace to my planet, then my sector and finally the universe itself. I was known as the greatest Green Lantern and my sector was the safest in the universe. However, Jordan, that fool from that primitive planet Earth, didn't like [[I Did What I Had to Do|the measures I took]] [[Utopia Justifies the Means|to make my sector safe]]; he believed I was a [[Dystopia|dictator who ruled with an iron fist]] and caused the Guardians to make me a renegade and to send me to the Anti-Matter universe of Qward, where I was granted my own power ring, which was yellow in color. Of course that meant that the Green Lantern rings were powerless against it. Still, Jordan would manage to thwart my plans time and again, eventually resulting in my imprisonment inside the Central Battery of Oa while the Guardians went away with the Zamarons.
 
Eventually, the Guardians returned and called upon me to stop Jordan, who had gone mad due to the loss of his Terran hometown of Coast City and was seeking the power of the Central Battery. After an arduous fight, it appeared that Jordan had killed me prior to his entering the battery to become Parallax.
Line 25:
Soon enough I encountered there the Anti-Monitor, who had engineered the [[Crisis on Infinite Earths]], and embraced the doctrine of spreading fear. In order to counteract Jordan and the reborn Green Lantern Corps (Whom I will admit have improved their rings to finally be able to directly affect the color yellow for at least their hardened troops), I decided to form my own army... the Sinestro Corps! I offered Rings like my own to the most fearsome warriors in the universe! Together we would spread fear and our own ways of policing the universe. Of course, the Green Lanterns [[Sinestro Corps War|had to be eliminated first.]] Or at least, [[Xanatos Gambit|I had to make the Guardians change certain policies to truly make their corps a serious police force, ready to apply appropriate measures when necessary.]]
 
But that was only the beginning. Soon enough, more [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience|Ring Corps]] emerged. The result... the [[Blackest Night]], followed by the so-called [[Brightest Day]], where I gained the White Lantern ring of Life. Now, I've been recruited back into the Green Lantern Corps while the Guardians expelled Hal Jordan. Don't ask me to explain the logic of either move and I needed Jordan as a Lantern almost as soon as I started, even if I later dismissed him without a power battery for his ring.
 
But enough history.
Line 45:
* [[Badass Mustache]]: Would it not feel ''desperately'' wrong if I were to shave?
* [[Berserk Button]]: During the War of the Green Lanterns, that traitorous wretch Lyssa Drak had the audacity to [[Lotus Eater Machine|attempt to imprison me in my own memories of my time as a Green Lantern.]] Once I realized the deception, I tore through the Book of the Black in order to make her know true suffering, but my attempts were thwarted by none other than the rogue Guardian Krona.
* [[Big Bad]]: What Jordan and the Guardians insist I am.
* [[Break the Badass]]: That fool Gardner rightfully ridicules Jordan for the quality of Jordan's enemies... but not once has he dared make those jokes about ''me.''
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Did you really think that I would gather the most fearsome beings in the universe, given them the ultimate weapon, and not be able to shut them down when one tried to use it against me? Mongul learned this the hard way...
** My Corps also learnt this when they enslaved my homeworld...
* [[Depending on the Artist]]: The fools can never seem to decide what color my skin is, whether or not my ears are pointed, or the size of my forehead.
* [[Dragon with an Agenda]]: To the Anti-Monitor during my Corps' war against the Green Lanterns. Of course, ''everyone'' working under the Anti-Monitor had their own agenda, but I was one of the few to succeed in mine...
* [[Enemy Mine]]: To survive the [[Blackest Night]] I have had to form a cease fire with the [[Green Lantern Corps]] and work together with them and the other Corps. The truce is still intact (at least until we decide what to do with {{spoiler|the missing emotion Entities and the White Lantern Battery that we've found on Earth}}).
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Arin...that woman...she was [[Blatant Lies|nothing at all]].
** I wasn't going to hurt Arsona. She could have acknowledged me after all these years...
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Jordan, of all people.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Jordan stands in my way, I in turn try to rid myself of him. What of it?
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Hard to believe I was once a mere archeology student back on Korugar.
Line 64:
* [[Human Aliens]]: How ''dare'' you slander my race by comparing us to such primitive creatures as ''Earthmen''?! Indeed, ''you'' are ''Korugarian Aliens'', bereft of our rich magenta hue.
* [[Legion of Doom]]: I have been a part of that particular group in the past.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: I ''am'' good and I do what is necessary to preserve order. My lantern's ability to instill fear aids the process.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Soranik I Am Your Father]]
* [[Man of Kryptonite]]: At first my ring was the very anti-thesis to my former colleagues in the Green Lantern Corps.
