I loved this week's Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lantern. Just great stuff, and Johns keeps hitting it out of the park. But it got me thinking about who else could be a Lantern, especially with the whole emotional spectrum opening up now. So I sat down on the couch and crudely sketched up my nomination for a Red Lantern Ring.

Presenting...
Hot Stuff, the Red Lantern

Sinestro Corps Spooky (NEW)

Blue Lantern Wendy (NEW)

So posters, who would YOU nominate for a Lantern ring? Any character at all, any color of Lantern ring. If you can post a mock-up, I'd love to see it.

-DBP

P.S. I was going to add the new images as a reply, but the new forum layout doesn't put the focus on the last reply.

It might be obvious but....

Wouldn't they make great Blue Lanterns? I mean, there's only one right now, so they gotta be desperate.

So obvious I had not considered it. Great!

Okay, so the various colors are 'powered' by various emotions, right?

The Red Lanterns are fueled by rage/hate.
The Orange Lanterns are powered by avarice
The Sinestro Corps are powered by fear.
The Green Lantern Corps are powered by willpower.
The Blue Lantern Corps are powered by hope.
The Indigo Lantern Corps wield staffs powered by compassion.
The Violet Lantern Corps are powered by love.

And the Black Lanterns are powered by some unrevealed emotion, I'm gonna guess Despair.

So does this mean there's White Lanterns yet to be revealed? Would they be powered by a combination of all emotions equally or by no emotion at all?

I would get a kick out of seeing Grendel-Prime with a white power ring, I'd think. He's so cold and dispassionate.

Good question and suggestion. Is there a certain number that were to be revealed, and have we not seen all of them? I haven't counted.

A blue one would look great with ripped jeans and a short tuxedo jacket.

I don't thik there are any plans for a White Lantern at this time, but they could always add more if they want to.

You get what everyone gets. You get a life time.

Powered by emotion, yes. The energy that comes out of a GL ring literally is pure concentrated willpower. The same is true for every color ring and their respective emotions.

Black is death. The idea is that it's a force that exists outside of the emotional spectrum.

So far, white's been nothing but fan speculation. Nothing's been stated about a white ring in the story or by the creators.
