Sinestro Corps War: Difference between revisions

Line 38:

* [[Demonic Possession]]: Parallax does this to Kyle, and the resulting monstrosity {{spoiler|later absorbs Hal as well. This backfires: neither of them could beat him individually, but together they fight their way out from the inside.}}

* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Coast City was already suffering from morale problems after being destroyed in ''[[The Death of Superman]]'', and Sinestro intended to hit the event horizon by razing it ''again''. Averted when the people support the Green Lanterns and refuse to evacuate.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu]]: Hannu PUNCHES The Anti-Monitor. '''Without his ring.'''

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Hannu PUNCHES The Anti-Monitor. '''Without his ring.'''

* [[Dragon With an Agenda]]: Henshaw, who just wants to die, and Superboy-Prime, who wants revenge for losing his Earth.

* [[Earth Is the Center of The Universe]]: Technically it's not; Oa is. But played straight because of:

* [[The Earth Prime Theory]]: The Sinestros don't want the center of the universe, they want the center of the ''multiverse''.

* [[Five Bad Band]]

* [[Five-Bad Band]]

** [[Big Bad]] and [[The Dragon]]: Sinestro and the Anti-Monitor, though YMMV which is which: the Anti-Monitor has far more power and officially holds the higher position of Guardian; but [[The Heavy|it's Sinestro's corps, his plan, and he's calling the shots]]. That the "lower" one could be a [[Dragon in Chief]] just complicates things further. Seems to fall just shy of being a [[Big Bad Duumvirate]], though.

** [[The Evil Genius]]: Hank Henshaw

** [[The Brute]]: Parallax

Line 57:

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: This is DC, so of course, but there are tons and tons of Sinestro Corpsmen with distinct appearances, names, and backgrounds who really only appear for a page or two.

* [[Monumental Damage]]: The Sinestro Corps destroy the Statue of Liberty and, somehow, replace it with a statue of their leader while they're busy invading Earth. Kyle and Guy fix it during the epilogue. Averted with the bit at Mount Rushmore, as the mountain doesn't take any damage.

* [[Nice Job Fixing It Villain]]: When Superboy-Prime does away with the Anti-Monitor, {{spoiler|[[Blackest Night|allowing Nekron to claim the body]]}}.

* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: When Superboy-Prime does away with the Anti-Monitor, {{spoiler|[[Blackest Night|allowing Nekron to claim the body]]}}.

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Henshaw

* [[Omnicidal Neutral]]: Superboy-Prime stops caring about sides, deciding he'd really rather just kill anything that moves. "I'll take EVERYONE! Both Corps! Bring it on!"

Line 63:

** Presumably, Sinestro thought that since there were now 52 (known) universes, Prime would be able to find one to suit him, not to mention the fact that he misjudged Prime's hatred of the Anti-Monitor to that of the DCU (as it turns out, Prime hates the Anti-Monitor ''slightly'' more than Earth-0).

*** It's more than that. The Anti-Monitor wanted to destroy all the earths, which would have ruined Sinestro's plans. Superboy-Prime wanted to destroy the Anti-Monitor and find his way back home. Cyborg Superman had incredible resources and means to control them efficiently, wanted to die, and the Anti-Monitor was his only way to do so (and then, only after everything else was done -- the Cyborg had been planning on pushing the issue earlier). Sinestro picked three [[Omnicidal Maniac]] teammates for their raw power, and then had them pitted against each other so that they'd likely destroy each other once their plans advance to a point they'd threaten Sinestro's.

* [[Pre Ass Kicking One Liner]]: Its War, so quite a few, [[Your Mileage May Vary|a notable one however...]]

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Its War, so quite a few, [[Your Mileage May Vary|a notable one however...]]
