![]() ![]() And although love may be one of the most corrupting emotions on the Emotional Spectrum, it has also been used to repair and recharge the love of all those it touches, making it one of the most influential forces in the universe. Love is love, and in the world of the Green Lantern Corps, the Violet Lantern Corps, known as the Star Sapphires, champion this emotion without hesitation. And while anyone of any gender can join the Corps of love, it’s often understood that most men simply aren’t worthy of a power that permeates and penetrates every being in the universe, a fact that makes sense but isn’t necessarily a hard set rule in the grand scheme of the Corps. Johns (the series writer) has said that the Corps oaths have. Regardless, the oath has only been rendered in the aforementioned fictional language. Outside of a few instances where men wielded the violet light for a short amount of time such as White Lantern Kyle Rayner or even the hot-headed Guy Gardner, another male member of the Green Lantern Corps was the first to officially be inducted into the Violet Lantern Corps, and it’s none other than Green Lantern great, John Stewart. In its first extended appearance, the Indigo Tribe speaks a language that the power ring cannot translate, although Indigo-1 later explains that her Tribe can speak languages others can understand. And since the emotion of love is at the far end of the Emotional Spectrum, it’s known to be a corrupting influence that takes away some of the free will the user would otherwise normally hold, and at times, also making their “rehabilitation” an experience that leads them to take extreme and sometimes violent measures to express the depths of their love. This process can also be used to take members of other Corps, such as the evil beings that are part of the feared Sinestro Corps, and not only drain the power from their rings, but also simultaneously convert that power into the violet energy of love, essentially forcing the being to join the Violet Lanterns without their explicit permission. Manhattanīy encasing their newest recruits in a crystalline structure that resembled the original Star Sapphire gem, the power of the Violet Lanterns keeps them in stasis as they are slowly transformed into beings that covet love over everything else.

They soon got to work, and after using the crystal to craft a Central Power Battery and violet power ring, the new and improved Star Sapphire Corps was born.īeing one of the Corps at the far end of the Emotional Spectrum, the Violet Lanterns, (along with the Red Lanterns on the other end of the spectrum) are one of the most powerful lights to wield and one of the most dangerous. But after years of using the crystal for well-intentioned yet mostly villainous acts of love, Green Lantern Hal Jordan forced the Zamarons to confront the overwhelming and barely containable nature of the gem, leading them to rethink their use of the Star Sapphire power in general. Settling on a planet named Zamaron, these ex-Guardians came across a parasitic crystal that they molded into the aforementioned Star Sapphire gem to help spread and protect love across the universe while also allowing the crystals’ hosts to enact revenge on any males that had wronged them. This includes the teleportation of the Indigo Tribe, the power augmentation of the Blue Lantern Corps, the burning red plasma of the Red Lanterns and mind control abilities of the Star Sapphires.Billions of years ago, a group of female Guardians of the Universe, or the bosses of the Green Lanterns, decided that they could not follow in the footsteps of their fellow Oans by ridding themselves of their emotions and struck out on their own to find a path less traveled. The nature of the Living Entity drawing from all life across the emotional spectrum gives White Lanterns access to all the powers of the seven living Lantern Corps White Lanterns do not have access to the abilities of Black Lanterns.

Tapping into the Entity's power, White Lanterns can resurrect the dead, including restoring life to barren landscapes. Like most Lantern Corps, White Lanterns can create energy constructs powered by life itself. When channeling the power of the Living Entity through the White Lantern power ring, a ring bearer gains a degree of omnipotence. ![]()
