Publication history

edit

They debuted inGreen Lantern(vol. 4) #25 (January 2008) and were created byGeoff JohnsandEthan Van Sciver.[2]Some of their characteristics were inspired by28 Days Later,one of Van Sciver's favorite films.[3]

Fictional group history

edit

The Red Lantern Corps are first mentioned during the "Sinestro Corps War"storyline. Foreshadowing another majorcrossoverevent in theDC Universe,formerGuardianGanthetreveals theBlackest Nightprophecy toHal Jordan,Guy Gardner,John Stewart,andKyle Rayner.The prophecy describes a War of Light among seven Corps powered by the lights of the emotional spectrum. Part of the prophecy reads: "A force of hate will rise as the red lantern is anointed in blood, the bearer's rage unfiltered and unchecked."[4]

According to DCcontinuity,before recruiting sentient beings to theGreen Lantern Corps,in an attempt to bring order to the universe, the Guardians of the Universe created theManhunters,a group of robotic peacekeepers. However, the Manhunters massacre the inhabitants of space sector 666, and the survivors form the Five Inversions, a terrorist cell bent on destroying the Guardians of the Universe.[5]Five Inversions memberAtrocitusis consumed by rage, becomes the first Red Lantern, and kills the other members.[6][7][8]

Geoff Johns describes the Red Lantern Corps as likely being "the most violent of the Corps [...] based on violent reaction driven by emotional eruption – rage – instead of any clear-cut plan of war." He describes Atrocitus as "the most coherent and in control of the Red Lanterns," but notes that he will have trouble controlling the other, more feral members.Sinestrois their primary target.[9]

Rage of the Red Lanterns

edit

InFinal Crisis:Rage of the Red Lanterns,the Red Lanterns capture Sinestro and recruit former Green Lantern Laira. Hal Jordan obtains a Red Lantern ring beforeSaint Walkeruses his powers to free him.[8][10][11][12][13]

Sciencell riot

edit

InGreen Lantern Corps,the Green Lanterns imprison Vice on Oa. However, Vice escapes, attacks wardenVoz,and causes a riot before being defeated and reimprisoned.[14][15][16]

Blackest Night

edit
Main article:Blackest Night

During theBlackest Nightevent, the Guardians of the Universe are shown observing the War of Light unfolding among the various Corps of the emotional spectrum; one of the scenes depicting theLost Lanternsconfronting the Red Lantern Corps to retrieve Laira's body from Ysmault. As the seven Corps battle one another, a new eighth group powered by death is introduced to theDC Universe:theBlack Lantern Corps.Black Hand,a leader of the new Corps, releasesblack power ringsthat reanimated the deceased to recruit members to their ranks.[17]Just as Atrocitus steps into the fight against the Lost Lanterns, the black rings descend on Ysmault, seeking the bodies of Laira and the four deceased Inversions.[18]

The passage taken from The Book of the Black at the end ofBlackest Night#3 states that rage will be the second emotion to fall in the Black Lantern Corps' crusade against the colored lights. Love is depicted as being the first which is fulfilled inGreen Lantern(vol. 4) #46, when the Black Lanterns devastate theStar Sapphires' homeworld ofZamaron.On Ysmault, the four Inversions attack Atrocitus and rip out his heart. However, the insatiable wrath contained within his ring prevents him from dying (having functionally replaced his heart), and temporarily destroys the Black Lantern Inversions. Later, Atrocitus is seen temporarily destroying the Black Lanterns in pursuit ofLarfleeze,and demands that he surrender the Orange Central Power Battery.[19]After a brief conflict over the Orange Central Power Battery, the two characters are joined by Hal Jordan, Sinestro,Carol Ferris,Indigo-1,Saint Walker,Ganthet,andSayd.The group needs Larfleeze and Atrocitus to represent their respective colored lights in the emotional spectrum in a group effort to create a collective white light that will destroy the Black Lantern Corps. Atrocitus initially refuses to cooperate, but after deciding that the Black Lanterns are as much a creation of the Guardians as the Manhunter droids responsible for destroying his world, he changes his mind and complies.[20]During the fight on Earth,Merais temporarily inducted into the Red Lantern Corps as a 'deputy' to help hold the line against the Black Lanterns,[21]butWonder Womanis able to use her Star Sapphire ring to hold back Mera's rage and grant her a degree of control, with the ring being removed completely whenAquamanis resurrected as Mera's love for him compromises her rage (although Carol andSaint Walkerare required to restart Mera's heart).[22]

During the Black Lantern siege of the Green Central Power Battery, Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner release Vice; hoping that the Red Lantern will be able to destroy the Black Lanterns faster than they can regenerate, thereby weakening a giant black construct attempting to destroy the battery. Believing that Vice has escaped (rather than being released), Alpha Lantern Chaselon kills him. Vice's ring later attaches itself to Guy Gardner, who has become full of rage following Kyle Rayner's death.[23]Using both his green and red power rings, Guy slaughters dozens of Black Lanterns.[24]After the planetary Green LanternMogomanages to neutralise the Black Lanterns, Guy turns his rage on his fellow Green Lanterns.[25]Mogo uses a special pool of antibodies to remove most of the Red Lantern energies from Guy's body, telling him the only way to completely cleanse him is to bathe in the light of a Blue Lantern.[26]Guy temporarily returns to the Red Lanterns when he uses Atrocitus's ring to fight off the Green Lantern Corps under Krona's control- Guy's green ring being compromised and reasoning that he has some experience with the red ring, while Atrocitus has been trapped in the Book of the Black by Krona- with Kyle Rayner's temporary blue ring allowing him to fully heal Guy of the red ring's influence once the crisis is over and Atrocitus has been freed.

The New 52 and solo title

edit

In September 2011,The New 52rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, the Red Lantern backstory, despite having not been radically altered, was explained and expanded in the eponymous series written byPeter Milligan,[27]ultimately released after the end of the "Flashpoint"storyline.[28]

After the end of theWar of the Green Lanterns,disappointed at the fact that he was not the one who killedKrona,the culprit of the Ryut Massacre, Atrocitus, feeling his rage dimming, is left without a purpose and faced with the drawbacks of leading an army of devolved, animalistic underlings driven by rage only.[29]He decides to choose an individual to be his equal and right hand, on whom to bestow his or her full mental faculties.[30]He choosesBleez,[31]but soon believes she may have manipulated him into doing this. At the same time on Earth, after watching his brother being beaten to death, a young Englishman named Jack Moore becomes a Red Lantern,[32]subsequently helping Atrocitus when other Red Lanterns turn on him due to his rage having lessened.

Bleez becomes the Red Lantern representative in theNew Guardiansteam consisting of seven representatives from the seven different Corps working together for mutual interest. The group investigates a mysterious Orrery in the Vega System,[33]traveling back to Earth withKyle Raynerto recover his power battery after he is officially discharged from the Green Lantern Corps – while retaining his ring and access to the Oan network – to protect him if the Guardians should try and capture him.[34]

Following the defeat of the powerful Volthoom, Hal Jordan sends Guy Gardner to join the Red Lanterns as an undercover operative to keep them in check, with Guy swiftly defeating Atrocitus and taking command of the group. It is revealed that part of his decision to join with the Red Lanterns is feeling as if he has never fit in as a Green Lantern.[35]As a Red Lantern Gardner manages to keep his rage in check, successfully leading most of the Red Lanterns; Atrocitus leads a splinter group and allows new Red rings to cause murderous justice-based rampages to continue. After joining with the Green Lanterns to defeat the cosmic terrorist Relic, Hal promises to give the Red Lanterns a sector for them to watch over after Guy rejects the initial offer of being released from his new role in the Corps. However, this sector becomes Sector 2814, where Earth resides, giving guardianship of Earth to the Red Lantern Corps.[36]

Both Gardner's Red Lanterns and Atrocitus' Red Lanterns come into conflict with each other, which ends when a recently inducted Red Lantern, Judge Sheko, determines that Atrocitus, his Red Lantern splinter group, and herself are all guilty and she destroys them. However, Atrocitus and Dex-Starr survived but are apparently killed when Guy takes control of all of Atrocitus' newly created Red Power Rings, stripping them of their rings and removing their life support.

InGreen Lantern: The Lost Army,Guy Gardner is flung into the pre-Universe and is suddenly wearing both a Green and Red Power Ring. He manages to reunite with the Green Lantern Corps who were also trapped in the pre-Universe. During the last fight between the Green Lantern Corps and the various Lightsmiths, Guy's Red Power Ring is turned green.[37]InGreen Lantern Corps: Edge of Oblivion,Guy is once again a fully fledged Green Lantern and helps the others to try and escape the impending death of the pre-Universe and back into their own.[38]

DC Rebirth

edit

As part ofDC Rebirth,it is revealed that Atrocitus and Dex-Starr are alive and Red Lanterns once again, with the former regaining his title as their leader, and Bleez is once again allied with Atrocitus. Atrocitus wishes to bring forth the Red Dawn and obtain a mysterious new power ring that has been recently discovered.[39]Atrocitus begins to bring forth the Red Dawn by implanting a Hell Tower within Earth and converting humans into rage conduits, waiting until the Hell Tower is ready to insert a Rage Seed.[40]The Red Lanterns head to Earth to make sure their plans proceed on schedule and Bleez heads off to deal with Green Lanterns Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. Simon Baz somehow heals Bleez, restoring her to her original form. Bleez reveals Atrocitus' plan to Simon but when Jessica intervenes and attacks Bleez, she succumbs to rage once more and returns to her Red Lantern appearance, deciding to go into hiding from the Green Lanterns and Atrocitus.[41]Jessica Cruz inadvertently becomes a rage conduit and attacks Simon. Simon is able to purify her in a similar way he did to Bleez, and the two are then confronted by Atrocitus and a group of Red Lanterns.[42]

Prominent members

edit

Only a few of the Red Lanterns have been identified by name inGreen Lanterntitles. Many of the known Red Lanterns were victimized by the Sinestro Corps before becoming Red Lanterns.

Leadership

edit
  • Atrocitus(of Sector 666): He was formerly the only Red Lantern that had complete control over himself (unlike the other feral members of the Red Lantern Corps) and also led the Corps until the induction of Guy Gardner, who killed Atrocitus with his bare hands after removing his power ring and took leadership from him. However, while every Red Lantern believes Atrocitus to be dead, he was actually saved by Dex-Starr who was able to create a heart construct to replace the one he lost during theBlackest Nightsaga. Vowing to get revenge on Guy Gardner, Atrocitus then went to Sector 718 to look for a replacement ring. When he reached the planet Styge Prime, he found the embodiment of Rage, the Butcher, in captivity. After he and Dex-Starr defeated his captors, Atrocitus was able to possess the Butcher, thereby regaining his powers and possibly becoming more powerful. However, the entity is taken away by Kyle Rayner and the other entities, excluding Parallax who is still under Sinestro's control. Atrocitus and Dex-Starr then find another feral Red Lantern, kill them and take their ring. He then captures Rankorr and forces a bug inside him to make him feral. He then poisons the blood on Ysmult and, using a second lake on Styge Prime, he creates hundreds of rings and sends them to Earth. He then uses these newly formed Red Lanterns from Earth to fight Guy Gardner, but Gardner beats him by proving his rage greater than Atrocitus' and taking away his ring along with Dex-star's and all the newly formed reds as well. Although it is presumed he is dead, Gardner still refers to him as alive. Atrocitus is revealed to be alive and a Red Lantern again, having regained control of the Lantern Corps he founded. He plans to bring forth the Red Dawn on Earth.[39]
  • Guy Gardner(of Sector 2814): AfterKyle Rayner's presumed death inGreen Lantern Corps(vol. 2) #43, Guy is consumed by rage, attracting Vice's red power ring in the following issue. Like Hal Jordan, Guy is notable as one of the few Red Lanterns capable of creating red light constructs. Uniquely, Guy maintains control of his green power ring as well and is capable of using both in conjunction. Guy is freed from the ring's influence, but temporarily regains it as part of a plot to infiltrate the Red Lanterns.[24][26][35][43][44][45][46][47]

Ring bearers

edit

After gaining a Red Lantern ring, Dexter kills the thugs and intends to get revenge.[29]He was described by Geoff Johns in an interview withWizardas "the most sadistic and malicious" of the Red Lanterns.[10]Originally intended as a joke by Shane Davis, he began being featured more prominently due to positive reception.[48]
  • Rankorr (Jack Moore)(of Sector 2814): A child punk from Earth who was taken in alongside his brother, Ray, by their grandfather after their mother died. Following his grandfather's murder, Jack obtains a Red Lantern ring and is inducted into the Corps, becoming one of the few Red Lanterns able to create constructs.[49][50][51]

  • Zilius Zox(of Sector 3544): First shown inFinal Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns,he devours a Sinestro Corps member during Sinestro's abduction. He appears to be the same species as late Green LanternGalius Zed.[10][32][42][53]
  • The Judge (Judge Sheko)(of Sector 775): Once chief judge of her home planet of Primeen, whose society was hideously steeped in corruption and decadence. She becomes a Red Lantern after her bailiff attempts to kill her.[54]

  • Vice(of Sector 13): The most ruthless of the Red Lanterns, whose mate was murdered by the Sinestro Corps drill sergeant, Arkillo.

  • Laira(of Sector 112): A former Green Lantern who is chosen by a red power ring after being punished and expelled for killingAmon Sur.[55]Her rage regresses her to a semi-feral state capable of saying little more than "Sinestro."[10]Hal Jordan meets her again on Ysmault and attempts to calm her rage, but she is killed by Sinestro.[12]
  • Abyssma:First identified by name by Ethan Van Sciver during an interview, Hal Jordan is shown fighting this Red Lantern during a battle between the Corps.[4][56]
  • Antipathy:A favorite creation of Ethan Van Sciver, she is shown fightingSoranik Natuduring the battle between the Corps. She is distinguished as being one of the few Red Lanterns to create constructs using her ring, as she is depicted wielding scissor-like constructs.[4][56]

  • Vladimir Sokov:A Soviet agent created to be a counterpart to the Golden Age American superhero Green Lantern.

  • Hal Jordan(of Sector 2814): A Green Lantern officer given a red power ring during his attempt to rescue Sinestro from the Red Lanterns and to calm Laira's rage, only to have Sinestro kill her just as he appears to be breaking through. Enraged, Laira's red power ring detects Hal's anger and forces itself onto his finger, temporarily transforming him into a member of the Red Lantern Corps.[12]Hal is able to overcome the red ring's influence with the aid of theBlue Lantern Corps.[13]
  • James Kim(of Sector 2814): A man whose daughter was cruelly murdered. Though not in possession of a red power ring, as the host of The Butcher, he has no need for one.[60]
  • Krona(of Sector 0): During theWar of the Green Lanterns,Krona was briefly able to take control of Atrocitus' ring and the other six rings, using them against the Green Lantern Corps, but the ring returned to its master after Hal Jordan killed Krona.[65]
  • Mera(of Sector 2814): The queen of the underwater kingdom ofAtlantis.Mera is chosen as a deputy Red Lantern during the war against the Black Lantern Corps.[66]When Aquaman is later resurrected by the White Entity, Mera's love for him severs the connection to her ring.

  • Spectre(of Sector 2814): After being freed of the possession of a black power ring byParallaxduring theBlackest Nightevent, Atrocitus attempts to recruit the Spectre to the Red Lantern Corps.

  • Kyle Rayner(of Sector 2814): One of the six Green Lanterns of Earth, Kyle had become a "magnet" to all the corps rings with one red ring appearing to him claiming him as its bearer. It has since been revealed that Kyle must channel all the powers of the emotional spectrum while without possessing a red ring, he can access, at will, the powers of the red light, also turning him disturbingly cold when he does.
  • Superman-Prime(of sector 2813): Superman-Prime temporarily becomes a member of the Red Lantern Corps during theBlackest Nightstoryline as his rage causes the black power ring that tries to turn him into a Black Lantern to temporarily turn him into a Red Lantern.
  • Lobo(of Sector 3500): InBrightest Day,Atrocitus hired Lobo to attack the leader of the Red Lanterns to gain the trust of Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris, and Sinestro. As payment for his services, Atrocitus rewarded Lobo with a red ring. It is unknown if the ring was ever used.

Entity

edit

The Butcher is a bull-like entity and embodiment of rage who is the power source of the Red Lanterns.[60][69][70][71]InGreen Lantern: Lights Out,the Butcher and the other emotional entities sacrifice themselves by returning to theSource Wallto restore the emotional spectrum. However, a new entity is born and begins gestating in Earth's core.[65][72][73][74][75]

Oath

edit

Like other Corps in the DC Universe, Atrocitus created an oath for the Red Lanterns to use when recharging their rings.[10]As the other members of his Corps are rarely seen as being capable of speech, it's unknown how often they use it (if they are able to at all). However, it has been shown how Atrocitus is able to restoreintelligenceandabstract thought,along with full speech capabilities, to his fellow Red Lanterns by the use of his shamanistic magic,[31]making them able to recite the full oath. The Red Lantern Corps oath is recited as follows:

:With blood and rage of crimson red,

Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,
We'll burn you all, that is your fate!
— Atrocitus,Green Lantern(vol. 4) #32 (June 2008)

Green Lantern: The Animated Seriesfeatures an adjusted version of this oath:

:With blood and rage of crimson red,

We fill men's souls with darkest dread,
And twist your minds to pain and hate.
We'll burn you all—that is your fate!
— Razer, "Reckoning"

Ayaalso created an alternative that was ultimately unable to activate the ring and battery:

:The power of the crimson red,

Can lead your soul away from dread,
And heal the deepest wounds of hate.
Let no one else decide your fate.

Powers and abilities

edit
Main article:Power ring
Laira's Red Power Ring

Red Lantern power rings are fueled by rage and force their wielder into a feral, mindless state that can only be cured by the Blood Lake of Ysmault.[8][11][31]Like all Lantern Corps, the red power rings give their users the ability to fly at light speed and survive in deep space. Red Lanterns possess corrosiveplasma-like blood capable of destroying the constructs and protective auras of other Lanterns.[10]Furthermore, the red ring replaces its user's circulatory system and cannot be removed without killing them.[10][12][19][76][54]

Other versions

edit

The Lightsmiths

edit

In the universe prior to the current one, groups managed to tap into the wellspring of power created by the Emotional Spectrum. In this universe, those who tapped into the red light were known as the Lightsmiths of the Red Light of Fury and were the ones that rejected Relic.[77]

Reception

edit

Critical reception for the Red Lantern Corps has been mixed. Their first appearance, during theFinal Crisisevent in 2008, was met with a mostly positive critical response. Jesse Schedeen, writing for IGN, remarked that "the Red Lanterns are an excellent addition to the increasingly crowded Lantern mythos."[78]J. Montes, writing for Weekly Comic Book Review, noted that "The Red Lanterns are vicious and make the relentlessness of the Sinestro Corps almost wimpy by comparison."[79]Likewise, Red Lantern Bleez's origin story, as told inBlackest Night: Tales of the Corps#2, received widespread praise, particularly for Eddie Barrows's artwork.[80][81][82]

Their solo series, launched in 2011 as part of theNew 52,initially received a mixed to negative response. Most reviewers praised the artwork by Ed Benes and Miguel Sepulveda, while criticizing the weak plot, inconsistent characterization, and uneven pacing.
