EYES: White

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: Green Lantern Vol. 3, #49 (February, 1994)

The warriors of Ovacron 6 disdain weapons, so Green Lantern Hannu refuses to use his ring for such a purpose, employing it largely for transportation while relying on his great strength and combat skills in conflicts.

Hannu is a massive humanoid, with irregularly-proportioned flesh resembling stone. When not overcome by the rush of combat, Hannu is generally stoic. He takes tremendous pride in his strength and fighting abilities, as well as in his place in the Green Lantern Corps.

WEIGHT: 120 lbs.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Green Lantern Corps., Vol. 2, #1 (September 2006)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

The youngest child of a ruling family that brought peace to her tribal, war-torn homeworld, Princess Iolande's selection as a Green Lantern following the murders of her father and brothers came as a surprise to many, including herself, who assumed that either of her two older brothers would be chosen. Though she does not express it often, Princess Iolande feels torn between her duties to her people as a member of its royal family, and her duties to the cosmos as a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

Iolande is a slender and exotic-looking alien female, with stripes of glowing energy adorning her face. She exudes superiority, entitlement and confidence, which other Lanterns, particularly ones in authority, can find off-putting, but she is extremely proud and wants badly to excel as a Green Lantern. She is a willing teammate when approached with the respect she feels she deserves.

ATTRIBUTES:

* Green Lantern ring allows for a protective shield, flight, and energy constructs.

* Near-photographic memory.

stel_gleason

STEL

REAL NAME: Stel

OCCUPATION: Green Lantern/Galactic Protector

BASE OF OPERATIONS: Sector 3009

HOMEWORLD: Grenda

HEIGHT: 8'6"

WEIGHT: 60 tons

EYES: None

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: Green Lantern Vol. 2 #11 (March 1962)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

The planet Grenda is one of the most unique phenomenon in Sector 3009 as the world and all of its inhabitants are all robotic in nature. Although its origins are unknown, the will of its people are not. The mechanical denizens of this world are capable of experiencing all the facets of the emotional spectrum.

It was Stel's ability to shine brightly with the power of will that made the Guardians of the Universe pick him as the protector of his sector. Stel has had an illustrious career as a Green Lantern. Like Hal Jordan, Stel was originally taught in the use of his ring by Sinestro. Ironically, it has been the battles against their former mentor that has made Stel a close ally of Hal Jordan. He does share the Earthman's zeal for diving into action without consideration of how dangerous the opposition may be. It is because of this that Stel suffers a great amount of damage to his mechanical body while on patrol, and although he cannot be destroyed it does necessitate for Stel to constantly upgrade himself. Currently, he sports a hi-tech armor.

Attributes:

  • Reckless for a robot, he computes the odds of success of a mission and tries to beat them.
  • Logical constructs are his specialty, which include reconstructed body parts for himself.
  • Unrelenting, even going off-line for a bit has not stopped this Green Lantern from doing his duty.

ghu

HEIGHT: 7' 0"

WEIGHT: 260 lbs.

EYES: Green

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: Green Lantern Corps Vol. 2, #1 (August, 2006)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

G'Hu served as a guard on the prison planet of Takron-Galtos when he was caught up in an inmate riot and used as a hostage as the prisoners negotiated their release. However, G'Hu turned the tables on his captors, and had them subdued by the time a rescue party arrived.

For acts of courage such as this, G'Hu was rewarded with membership in the Green Lantern Corps. He served long and honorably before perishing when the being known as Parallax destroyed the planet Tamaran, managing to send a warning to the Green Lantern Corps prior to his demise.

G'Hu is humanoid, with lean arms and legs. He has tripod-like feet, and his head is capped by a muscular, organic crown that trails down into four prehensile "braid-tails," each of which ends in a sharp, powerful spike. Two other spike-claws extend from his shoulders.

ATTRIBUTES:

  • Green Lantern ring allows for a protective shield and energy constructs.
  • Powerful "braid-tails" used for grasping, while spikes at end used for spearing in utility or attack.
  • Sharp, strong talons.
  • Energy constructs frequently resemble items from his prison-guard past: cages, restraints, guard weaponry, etc

HEIGHT: 8'2''

WEIGHT: 340 lbs

EYES: None

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1 (May 1981)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

In charge of patrolling one of the earliest Sectors charted by the Guardians of the Universe, this plant-like being is one of the oldest and most revered of the Green Lantern Corps. Apros' roots, like those of his people, go deep with the Guardians. He helped to establish the Green Lantern Honor Guard--a status given to a highly decorated Green Lantern who has gone above and beyond their duties to the Corps. The Honor Guard has privileges beyond those of normal Corps members like going beyond their assigned Sector to enforce the law if need be.

After the most recent rebirth of the GL Corp, and surviving his captivity as a slave and being saved by the grandiose Guy Gardner, Apros has retired from Honor Guard duties and instead uses his powerful psionic abilities to help new recruits overcome their fears.

Attributes:

  • Long lived, Apros has seen many conflicts in service of the Corps.
  • Psionic powers allow him to identify weaknesses in friend or foe.
  • Loyal to the Guardians of the Universe and his fellow Honor Guard Tomar-Re and K'ryssma.
  • A powerful and strong mind make his ring creations some of the most potent in the GL Corps.

morro_gleason

MORRO

REAL NAME: Morro

OCCUPATION: Green Lantern Crypt Keeper

BASE OF OPERATIONS: Sector 666

HOMEWORLD: Sarc

HEIGHT: Unknown

WEIGHT: Unknown

EYES: Black

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: Green Lantern Vol. 4 #12 (July 2006)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

The harsh dessert world of Sarc has bred equally unyielding inhabitants from the lizard-like beings who socialize in tribes to the winged beasts that fly through its skies. The nights are no better, as it is the time that other predators make their way across the sands. It is a world where fear has died of sunstroke and will is the only sustenance. Yet it is place from where one of the most compassionate Green Lanterns hails from.

Once part of a nomadic tribe known as the Relentless due to their ability to go on for weeks without any food or drink, Morro learned to appreciate life in the face of death. He had thought to avenge his brother from dragon like creatures known as dratures, but only after killing their mother did Morro find the creatures to be innocent. He befriended them and they helped save him and his brother, who had also been left to perish by their tribe.

Now Morro, along with his fierce dratures, has volunteered to keep a vigil over all that have fallen in service of the Corps. He makes sure their memory, their light continues to burn bright.

Attributes:

  • Sullen, Morro keeps to himself save for his pet dratures, as he devotes himself to preserving the marker statues of each dead Green Lantern in the crypts of Oa.
  • Indominable, the harsh life he endured on his dessert homeworld taught Morro never to give up no matter the odds against him.
  • A calm spirit, Morro's ring constructs are very simple.

BASE OF OPERATIONS: Sector 2751

HOMEWORLD: Zanner

HEIGHT: 6'11"

WEIGHT: 320 lbs

EYES: Light Brown (one-eyed)

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: TALES OF THE GREEN LANTERN CORP#2 (June, 1981)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

A survivor of one of the initial encounters with the dreaded lord of the dead Nekron, this Green Lantern has served the Guardians for over a millennium. His will power was made even more resolute after having been enslaved for a time.

Currently aside from its duties to the Corp, this GL puts his ring and his enhanced ocular prowess to use looking for its people who vanished after the Tristram-Zanner Imperial War. This mysterious disappearance is just one of the many unexplained occurrences of the uncharted world of Zanner, of which not much has been catalogued on and M'Dahna is not one to explain.

Attributes:

  • Long life span.
  • Loyal to the Green Lantern Corp, will not leave anyone behind.
  • Strong will enables it to construct objects with the Green Lantern power ring.

salaak_

SALAAK

REAL NAME: Salaak

OCCUPATION: Green Lantern/Galactic Protector/Clarissi/Keeper of the Book of Oa

BASE OF OPERATIONS: Sector 1418 re-assigned to Sector 0

HOMEWORLD: Slyggia

HEIGHT: 7'6"

WEIGHT: 207 lbs.

EYES: White

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: Green Lantern Vol. 2 #149 (February 1982)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

In an odd coincidence, Slyggia occupies the space Sector closest to Korugar, homeworld of Sinestro, especially when you consider both beings passion for order.

Currently, Salaak serves one prime Sector, Zero. At the heart of the Universe within the very Citadel of the Guardians, the stoic Slyggian acts as tactician for the GL Corps relaying the orders of their blue masters as well as passing on any revisions to the sacred Book of Oa that will affect a Green Lantern on duty. One of these was the amendment that allowed the use of Lethal Force during the Sinestro Corps War.

Salaak's almost emotionless demeanor would suggest that this longtime veteran of the Corps does not care about his fellow GLs, but quite the opposite is true. With no connection to his homeworld or Sector, the Slyggian sought the companionship of other Green Lanterns and based himself on Earth for a time. He made many friends there, although he does not always understand or agree with Hal Jordan's emotional outbursts. He has settled on staying in Sector 0 and serving the Guardians there.

Attributes:

  • Pessimistic, always sees the downside of a mission.
  • Meticulous to a fault, currently his charge requires him to be aware of what every Green Lantern is doing.
  • Loyal, the Guardians of the Universe could not have asked for a better servant.
  • Highly intelligent and makes calculated decisions rather than allowing sentimentality to get in the way.
  • Four-armed, he is quite the multi-tasker.
  • Ring creations are precise with nothing wasted on over-imagining them.

Which Green Lantern needs No Sleep or Food and who is Mute?

green-man_gibbons

GREEN MAN

REAL NAME: N/A (his race doe not have any individuality)

OCCUPATION: Green Lantern/Galactic Protector, Alpha Lantern/Galactic Enforcer

BASE OF OPERATIONS: Sector 2828

HOME PLANET: Uxor

HEIGHT: 6'2''

WEIGHT: 210 lbs.

EYES: Red

HAIR: None

FIRST APPEARANCE: GREEN LANTERN Vol. 2 #164 (May, 1983)

AKA: Green Lantern, Alpha Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

On the planet Uxor there is no individuality. Names are derived from the jobs given to one. The only way to identify someone is by their distinctive skin patterns on their scalp and shoulders. Everyone does as they are told and follow the order of this amphibious world without question.

Well, almost. One being dared to dream beyond the status quo, and breached the stagnant state of their world, and it was this very will to do that that brought him to the attention of the Guardians of the Universe.

Earning the name Green Man, this Uxorian jumped at the chance of leaving his stifling world to experience all that the cosmos had to offer as a Green Lantern. This placed him in combat situations against the criminal Spider-Guild of the Vega System, fighting alongside the heroic band of freedom fighters known as the Omega Men, and inducting "space-gypsy" Gretti into the Green Lantern Corps.

His dedication and undying loyalty to the Green Lantern Corps earned him a place in the Guardian's new law enforcement division policing the Corps, the dreaded Alpha Lanterns. Sacrificing almost all their humanity, the Alpha Lanterns are cyborgs with built in power batteries that enforce the laws of the sacred Book of OA. Lifting their mechanical faces, Green Man Alpha Lantern can drain a regular Green Lantern of all his ring charge.

Attributes:

  • Green Lantern ring allows for a protective shield and energy constructs.
  • Amphibious.
  • Has limited telepathy.
  • Can open portals in space for teleportation.
  • Possesses a deadly nerve toxin in his blood stream.
  • Has an innate individuality not associated with the rest of his race.
  • As an Alpha Lantern his new hard-wired GL battery powered cyborg body needs no sleep or food.
  • An Alpha Lantern's main face lifts to reveal a second facade that can drain power rings, "No Lantern escapes the Alpha Lanterns."

OCCUPATION: Green Lantern/Galactic Protector

HEIGHT: 5'6''

WEIGHT: 230 lbs

EYES: Black (one-eye)

HAIR: Orange

FIRST APPEARANCE: Green Lantern Vol.2 #9 (November-December 1961)

AKA: Green Lantern

BACKGROUND from the comic books:

Larvox is an asexual being from the planet Sputan, which has a very unique evolutionary cycle. Here insects, bactria and plants became more prominent than mammals. All denizens share in a community with no true individuality. This is done in harmony with the planet, and not something imposed by their society. It was this free will that allowed Larvox to be a longstanding member of the Green Lantern Corps.

Mute, Larvox can only converse using his ring. But what he lacks in words, he has more than made up in actions as he fought alongside Hal Jordan and the Corps through many important conflicts such as stopping an invasion by the Weaponers of the Anti-Matter Universe of Qward and a confrontation with Nekron, the Lord of Death.

Attributes:

  • Green Lantern ring allows for a protective shield and energy constructs.
  • Mute.
  • Fierce warrior.
  • Unswerving dedication to the GL Corps.
