I need to show off my #bluelantern suit more often. Everyone knows about the Green Lanterns – who use the force of willpower – but there’s a lantern corps for each colour of the rainbow (… At least, the way we usually separate it in North American English? I have no idea how universal ‘ROYGBIV’ is). Each one is powered by an emotion, and the idea is that while people tend to view the first half as evil and the rest as good (with green sometimes being neutral?), the further you get from the middle (green), the stronger and less stable the emotions get, and the more those emotions can control you. Yellow is the most *common* enemy seen and the most well-known, and generally the villains are red or yellow (orange is… a special case), but a Violet Lantern is just as potentially-unstable and dangerous as a red one, depending on the situation. (Indigo is *also* a special case, like Orange, but… In a completely different way. There’s only (generally speaking) one Orange Lantern, Larfleeze, because the idea of sharing his powers is literally against the nature of *having* those powers. At one point Lex Luthor is an Orange Lantern but it’s complicated. Indigo, though, isn’t a ring you *accept*, it’s literally *forced upon you* – members of the Indigo Tribe are (presumably) all former horrible criminals who had compassion literally thrust upon them and are unable to remove it, it’s ACTUALLY REALLY MESSED UP OKAY) Anyway, all of that is from memory and also I haven’t read any of the Lantern comics since probably 2016 and possibly more like 2015, so there may be inaccuracies or things I don’t explain super well, but REGARDLESS, here are the colours and what emotions guide/rule them (as the case may be): Red: Anger/Rage Orange: Avarice/Greed Yellow: Fear Green: Willpower Blue: Hope Indigo: Compassion Violet: Love (… This needed to be continued in the first comment, because *clearly* I am incapable of cutting rambling short.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKdoJb1FpIA/?igshid=a3jwwlk3cwx7 -- source link
