Jus for fun lets say after all this blackest nights stuff has ended its left the emotional spectrum in complete disarray. The guardians have came to us to reconstruct a new spectrum to help bring back some form of balance to their universe.

We need all ranges of the spectrum from good to bad and light to dark but try to use a new set of colors, powers and sources to empower them. Atleast until all colors have been tried to be used atleast once.

Ok, first shot!

Silver, Arrogance - Granted to the most arrogant of beings. Makes beings as powerful as they believe themselves to be. Power weakens as wielders are shown inferior.

theres like nothing left

Despair- Granted to a person who believes everything is wrong in the universe which must be corrected. Their power increases with more how much despair they feel towards others and themselves. Power weakness is hope.

Isn't that kinda the black ring?

Rainbow- Comprised of the ROYGBIV colors of a rainbow. Has all the powers of all Lantern colors to have ever existed, including the Black Lanterns.

Weaknesses: Superman, Power Rangers.

hahaha

Not really. Black Lanterns have no mind. There are controlled by Nekron. Most of all, they want every living thing dead. If there were despair lanterns(lol), they would want to correct the universe, the system. Something that made them entire the state of despair

Gold, Humility Granted to the most humble of beings it endows them with all the strength others believe they deserve and abilities they hope for them to obtain. Powers diminish with others faith in the wielder.

Brown, Trust. Given to the most trusting or trusted of people. Makes wielder completely invulnerable and impervious to harm. Loss in powers result from breaking trust.

Teal, Sadness Grants wielders the ability to bring great despair to those around you resulting in loss of ambition, trust and will to continue.

Ambition, Pink Inspires those around to push themselves, achieve more and desire the pursuit of that which they deserve

Thought this looked interesting!

Indifference... Eh, i don't care what colour.

Rainbow.

Powers to be absolutely fabulous.

Example lanterns: Midnighter, Apollo, Pied Piper.

Awwwww you beat me to it!!!!

The problem is that the theme of the Corps is that all the colors of the Rainbow have been used up. The two major emotions they didn't use (not that Will is an emotion per se) are joy/happiness/ecstasy and sadness/melancholy/sorrow.

Seven primary colors of the rainbow which combine to form white and the absence of is black. They use the strict rainbow to keep things somewhat simple.

i don't really understand how this is different from the blue lanterns. "all will be well," and all that.

It sounds like they'd be the emo lanterns who want everyone else to feel as sorry for themselves as they do. If they want to correct it then that'd be something along the lines of hope or compassion or something. Wanting to help.

It sounds like despair lanterns would be more interested in enlightening others as to why they should despair, rather than attempting to end despair.

So, yeah, what Alvis said.

If Geoff Johns asked me to retcon the whole emotional spectrum, I would make one change:

I would have emotions/emotional states that were truly opposite each other.

Love/hate

Fear/bravery

Hope/despair

Rage/serenity

Joy/sadness (although happy/sad lanterns sounds lame)

And these lanterns would cancel each other out. I think Johns started to show this with the whole red/green and blue/yellow power drains. Hope draining fear I can understand, but rage draining will power?? If anything rage would bolster ones will.

The lights at the far ends of the Spectrum (Violet and Red) hold the greatest influence over their users while of all lights Green is the one that is most a tool of the user, not the other way around. Will is about mastering the power and mastering one's emotions while Rage is about abandoning control and succumbing to bestial ferocity.

Yeah, that would be better

It IS ironic that the piece that fits the least within this whole puzzle is the initial building block, the GL's.

Restructured, I suppose they should be something along the lines of courage. Not that that's necessarily an emotion still, but something like a joy-fueled interstellar warrior would make for a pretty cheesy read.

Yeah I remember one of my friends getting pissed at the emotional spectrum idea. "Will is an emotion now? Since when!?"

I understand your point about rage. I guess the big difference would be plain ol' anger vs rage, to which I would still argue anger would bolst willpower.

But then why does the Star Sapphire's have no effect on willpower? Logically everytime a SS was near a GL the porn music should be cued (BOWCHIKKAWOWCHIKKAWOWWOW) and the intergalactic lovin' ensues!

Even with the female GL's

Especially with the female GLs. Comic book nerds (and writers by extension) loves them some girl-on-girl.

Amen brother.

I do like how John's has the different colours affect each other in different ways, like how Red drains the Green or how Blue is not offensive but can drain yellow, Douse Red and is somewhat resistant to Orange.

white lantern - driven by insanity...give Joker or Sentry one and you're done for...
