The Red Lantern Corps is a supervillainous and sometimes anti-heroic organization appearing in DC Comics. Their power is derived from the emotional spectrum relating to anger.

## Publication history

[edit]

The Red Lantern Corps debuted in Green Lantern (vol. 4) #25 (January 2008) and were created by Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver.[1] Some of their characteristics were inspired by 28 Days Later, one of Van Sciver's favorite films.[2]

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. Sinestro is their primary target.[3]

## Fictional group history

[edit]

The Red Lantern Corps are first mentioned during the "Sinestro Corps War" storyline. Former Guardian Ganthet reveals the Blackest Night prophecy to Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kyle Rayner, which describes a War of Light among the seven Corps powered by the emotional spectrum.[4]

Before recruiting sentient beings to the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians of the Universe created the Manhunters, a group of robotic peacekeepers. However, the Manhunters massacre the inhabitants of space sector 666, with the survivors forming the Five Inversions, a terrorist cell bent on destroying the Guardians.[5] Inversions member Atrocitus is consumed by rage, becomes the first Red Lantern, and kills the other members.[6]

### Blackest Night

[edit]

During the Blackest Night event, the Guardians are shown observing the War of Light unfolding among the various Corps of the emotional spectrum; one of the scenes depicting the Lost Lanterns confronting 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 the DC Universe: the Black Lantern Corps. Black Hand, the leader of the Black Lanterns, releases black power rings that reanimate the deceased as Black Lanterns, including Laira and the four deceased Inversions.[7][8] Atrocitus works with Hal Jordan, Sinestro, Carol Ferris, Indigo-1, Saint Walker, Ganthet, and Sayd, representatives of the other Corps, to battle the Black Lanterns, as their powers combined will create a white light that will destroy the Black Lantern Corps.[9]

During the Black Lantern siege of the Green Central Power Battery, Kyle and Guy release the Red Lantern Vice from prison so he can help them battle the Red Lanterns. Believing that Vice has escaped rather than being released, Chaselon kills him. Vice's ring later attaches to Guy, who has become full of rage following Kyle's supposed death.[10] Mogo removes most of the Red Lantern energy from Guy's body and informs him that the only way to completely cleanse him is to bathe in the light of a Blue Lantern.[11]

### The New 52 and solo title

[edit]

In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted 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 by Peter Milligan.[12][13]

After the end of the War of the Green Lanterns, disappointed at the fact that he was not the one who killed Krona, the culprit of the Ryut massacre, Atrocitus, feeling his rage dimming, is left without a purpose.[14] He chooses Bleez to be his equal and right hand and restores her mental faculties.[15][16] Bleez becomes the Red Lanterns' representative in the New Guardians, consisting of representatives from the seven Corps working together for mutual interest.[17]

The New Guardians investigate a mysterious Orrery in the Vega system, traveling back to Earth with Kyle Rayner to 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.[17][18]

Following the defeat of 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.[19] As a Red Lantern, Guy 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.[20]

### DC Rebirth

[edit]

As part of DC Rebirth, it is revealed that Atrocitus and Dex-Starr are 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.[21] 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.[22] 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 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.[23] 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.[24]

## Prominent members

[edit]

### Leadership

[edit]

* Atrocitus (of Sector 666): The founder of the Red Lantern Corps, Atrocitus is one of the few survivors of the massacre of Sector 666 and among the few Red Lanterns who maintains his mind and the ability to create constructs.

### Ring bearers

[edit]

* Bleez (of Sector 33): A princess from the planet Havania who was kidnapped, tortured, and raped by the Sinestro Corps, losing her wings in the process. She uses her Red Lantern powers to generate skeletal construct replacements.[2][25]
* Dex-Starr (of Sector 2814): A stray cat who attracted a red ring after his owner was killed by thugs.[14] He was described by Geoff Johns in an interview with Wizard as "the most sadistic and malicious" of the Red Lanterns.[26] Originally intended as a joke by Shane Davis, he began being featured more prominently due to positive reception.[25]
* 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.[27]
* Skallox: A goat-like alien and criminal who served a man named Lancer. Lancer wrongly accuses Skallox of disloyalty and throws him in an oven, disfiguring his head and causing it to resemble a skull.[26]
* Ratchet: A jellyfish-like alien who was mutilated and deformed for defying his culture's rule of physical isolation.[26]
* Zilius Zox (of Sector 3544): First shown in Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns, he devours a Sinestro Corps member during Sinestro's abduction. He appears to be the same species as Green Lantern Galius Zed.[26]
* The Judge (Sheko) (of Sector 775): The former chief judge of her home planet of Primeen, whose society is deeply corrupt. She becomes a Red Lantern after her bailiff attempts to kill her.[28]
* Veon (of Sector 435): A purple one-eyed alien and one of Atrocitus's first recruits.[26] In Green Lantern (vol. 4) #45, he is killed by Boodikka.[8]
* Vice (of Sector 13): The most ruthless of the Red Lanterns, whose mate was murdered by Sinestro Corps member Arkillo. His forehead and jaw contain spikes which he uses to decapitate his enemies.[26] He is killed by Chaselon during an attack by the Black Lanterns.[10]
* Laira (of Sector 112): A former Green Lantern who is chosen by a red power ring after being punished and expelled for killing Amon Sur.[29] Hal Jordan encounters Laira on Ysmault and attempts to calm her rage, but she is killed by Sinestro.[30]
* Abyssma: First identified by name by Ethan Van Sciver during an interview, Hal Jordan is shown fighting Abyssma during a battle between the Corps.[4][31]
* Antipathy: Antipathy is shown fighting Soranik Natu during 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][31]
* Fury-6: First identified in Blackest Night #0, he was first seen as a participant in the abduction of Sinestro.[26][32]
* Haggor: First identified in Blackest Night #0, he is similar in appearance to Abyssma.[32]
* Nite-Lik: Nite-Lik was created for Mattel's series of Green Lantern figures and named for Mattel employee Scott Neitlich.[33][34]

### Former members

[edit]

* Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) (of Sector 2813): The biological cousin of Superman. In the New 52, the grief and rage from her past experiences attracts a red power ring to her.[35] Kara later removes her ring and survives due to her healing factor.[36]
* 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 Red Lantern.[30] Hal is able to overcome the red ring's influence with the aid of the Blue Lantern Corps.[37]
* James Kim (of Sector 2814): A man who became the avatar of the Butcher, the Red Lantern Corps' entity, after his daughter was murdered.[38]
* Guy Gardner (of Sector 2814): After Kyle Rayner's presumed death, Guy is consumed by rage, attracting Vice's red power ring.[39] As a Red Lantern, Guy maintains control of his green power ring 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.[19]
* Krona (of Sector 0): During the War 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.[40]
* Mera (of Sector 2814): The queen of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. Mera is temporarily recruited into the Red Lanterns during Blackest Night.[41]
* Kyle Rayner (of Sector 2814): One of the Green Lanterns of Earth, Kyle once wielded the power of all aspects of the emotional spectrum, including red.[42]
* Superboy-Prime (of Sector 2813): Superboy-Prime temporarily becomes a Red Lantern during Blackest Night 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.[43]

## Entity

[edit]

The red rage entity is called the Butcher and takes the form of an Earth bull with a forehead bone structure resembling the Red Lantern symbol, created by the first act of murder. As with the other emotional entities, the Butcher is attracted to Earth by the Life Entity and is hunted by Krona.[44] Atrocitus searches for Butcher alongside Dex-Starr and Sinestro.[45]

During the assault on Oa, Krona allows the Butcher and the other entities (except for Parallax) to take one of the six remaining Guardians as hosts. The Butcher is freed from Krona's control after Hal Jordan defeats and kills the rogue Guardian and is left to roam the universe once again.[40] During the "Green Lantern: Lights Out" event, the Butcher and the emotional entities are weakened by the emotional spectrum being drained and sacrifice themselves by passing into the Source Wall to repair the spectrum.[46]

However, a new rage entity is born from the excess rage left on Earth from the war with Atrocitus.[47] During DC Rebirth, Atrocitus enacts a scheme to take Earth as a new homeworld for the Red Lanterns.[21] The rage entity gestates in the center of the Earth's core, growing and feeding on humanity's wrath until it is mature enough to bring about what Atrocitus has envisioned.[48]

The original Butcher returns in Green Lantern Corps (vol. 4), where the Green Lantern Corps free it and the other entities from the Source Wall to help combat Starbreaker.[49][50]

## Oath

[edit]

Like other Corps in the DC Universe, Atrocitus created an oath for the Red Lanterns to use when recharging their rings.[26] As the other members of his Corps are rarely seen as being capable of speech, it is unknown how often they use it (if they are able to at all). However, it has been shown how Atrocitus is able to restore intelligence and abstract thought, along with full speech capabilities, to his fellow Red Lanterns by the use of his shamanistic magic, making them able to recite the full oath.[16] 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!

— Green Lantern (vol. 4) #32 (June 2008), in Atrocitus

## 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.[6] 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 corrosive plasma-like blood capable of destroying the constructs and protective auras of other Lanterns. Furthermore, the red ring replaces its user's circulatory system and cannot be removed without killing them.[26]

## Other versions

[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.[51]

## Reception

[edit]

Critical reception for the Red Lantern Corps has been mixed. Their first appearance, during the Final Crisis event 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."[52] 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."[53] Likewise, Red Lantern Bleez's origin story, as told in Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #2, received widespread praise, particularly for Eddy Barrows's artwork.[54][55][56]

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