Bloody Murder: Their main weapon is to puke super-hot plasma blood at.Blood Magic: Used to forge the battery and the rings, and Atrocitus can also use it to make divinations.Bleez and Zilius Zox perhaps fill this role a little more than the others, though - Ratchet and Skallox seem pretty chill as far as Red Lanterns go, and Atrocitus is more about the grand plan than the individual battle. The Berserker: Considering their power source is Unstoppable Rage, it's unsurprising this amounts to literally every one of them.Envisioning the power to vomit blood hot enough to burn in the vacuum of space doesn't scream " 100% Heroism Rating" either. Bad Powers, Bad People: What morals a Red Lantern had before procuring their ring usually goes out the window considering the wield The Power of Hate to use it.Ax-Crazy: Most Reds are mindless Blood Knights.Even then, it takes some time for them to all gain the ability to form constructs. After Bleez and later Guy Gardner take control, they give everyone their minds back. Atrocitus eventually realizes this and decides to grant intelligence to a select few. The initial Reds are incapable of any organization or strategy above a pack mentality, have little self-preservation, and can't even form energy constructs.

Their powers are flight, personal forcefields, and ability to spew a corrosive plasma from their mouths that can drain the constructs of Green Lanterns. However, things didn't go as planned their leader Atrocitus, in his rage, beat the others to death, and used their blood to form the Red Central Power Battery with his Blood Magic and create his own Corps.Ī Red Lantern's blood and circulatory system is replaced by the ring's plasma energy, which makes them immune to attempts at heart-ripping (such as done by the Black Lanterns), but also leaves them dependent on their rings to live. They're the ones who led to Abin Sur crashing on Earth, and seeded the prophecy of the Blackest Night. Eventually, the empire fell, and the Five Inversions were crucified on their throne-world. Over time, they founded The Empire of Tears, which was as much fun as its name implies. Five denizens of the sector miraculously managed to survive the massacre, and together formed a terrorist cabal known as the Five Inversions. We'll burn you all- that is your fate! * Dex-Starr!
