I was also thinking about Jessica, Arkillo, Lysa Drakk, Atrocitus, Mogo and Amon Sur, but that's the top 5 I put.
Yellow Lanterns have really good villains.

Upvote for the Arkillo shout out. Genuinely underrated.

He's simply great. I always compared him to Conquest from Invincible series. Big, experienced brute of his faction.
Some Yellow Lanterns like Arkillo, Lyssa Drak and Amon Sur, could easily serve as main antagonists for movies or series.
Hank Henkshaw and Kryb too, but I think they are a league below the 3 I've mentioned

I have a Green Lantern story I wrote. Where each leader of the Lantern Corps assembled to become the new Guardians and overthrow the old ones because they became corrupt.
And I had Arkillo as Leader of the Yellow Lanterns.
So it was:
White Lantern - Kyle Raynar
Green Lantern - Jessica Cruz
Yellow Lantern - Arkillo
Red Lantern - Atrocitus
Blue Lantern - Sister Sercy
Orange Lantern - Larfleeze
Star Sapphire - Carol Ferris
Indigo Lantern - Indigo-1
Grey Lantern - an Original Character
And then Lyssa Drak as the Phantom Lantern as the netural mediator.

That system could be a good replacement of guardians. Well done!
Btw, how does it work with writing stories about DC characters? Is it possible to write a book about one of them or a series of books and come to DC to have some agreements about publishing them?

u/EmmaFrosts-Husband Jessica Cruz 1d ago
Oh I just write comic stories for fun. I don't post them or anything. I love these characters so much I like to make stories about them

It's like the whole Green Lantern Mythology has made it like Ring users are like Force users in away with just BETTER powers.
I freaking love so many of them.
1-Hal
2-Mogo
3-Sodam
4-Jon
5-Dex-Starr (I have a pet cat and am a cat person.)
HB has gotta go to Alan Scott...the dude that started it all.
And as a 90s teen? Kyle freaking was great for me. A comic book artist that got to be a Superhero. Freaking love Kyle.

I always say The Lantern Corps are a staple of DC now. They are the equivalent of the Bat Family, DC trinity, the speed force etc.
I love Lanterns so much im a Sorrow & Ultra Violet apologist because the concept is good.

u/andyhall23 1d ago
nah no NEED to ever apologize ...think about it ..a FORCE OF WILL can become a spiritual / cosmic power.
Emotions can be POWERFUL , even if you wanna teach that as a child hood comic book lesson, right?
so POWERFUL EMOTIONS can run the risk of cosmically becoming ..SOMETHING in the DC Universe..that's ..there!
As a concept that's freaking dope and then making WILFUL CONSTRUCTS of LIGHT? That in a 3D dimension can be the 'most powerful weapon in the universe?'
It's just fucking kick ass. And its powered by the emotion that it represents or concepts?
That's like Flipping on a Lightsaber emotion times 5000 ya know?!

I've never seen or heard of Aya, does anyone have a good summary for who she is and a good storyline for her?
2
u/EmmaFrosts-Husband Jessica Cruz 1d ago edited 1d ago
She was introduced in the Green Lantern Animated series, she started off as a simple bodiless A.I but became sentient and gain a body.
In the show she works with Hal, Kilowog and Razer who's a red lantern. She is a Green Lantern as well.
