The official Mysterious Lantern thread.

My initial guess is that the Lantern will be Sinestro's mentor who puts the fascism ideas in his head. The best example I can think of is Derek Vinyard's father in American History X. We only hear about him as a heroic fireman at first. Then we see him and he seems like a nice guy, up until he starts blasting affirmative action and the books his son is reading. Derek takes these comments in and look what he became.

Not a bad idea!

That's an intresting concept and I would have never thought of that. That would make Sinestro more of a victim than a true villian, though.

He wouldn't be a victim, he'd still be what he is; a man who really wants to protect the people, with a serious vendetta against Hal Jordan, the guardians, and the rest of the Lantern Corps. Nobody made him believe that the best way to protect the people is to control them. He adopted that ideal by himself.

Has anyone guessed that the new GL might be a 'red shirt' yet?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Apparently, he (or she) is much more important than that.

I think the newly created Lantern is basically Parallax's host.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I think whoever this Lantern is, Sol Romero is going to be playing her. We already know she has a role she cant talk about and she doesn't fit any eastablished character in the GL mythos... I think she'll either be playing this new Lantern or she'll be the voice of the ring.
