Origins Of 10 Different Lantern Corps And Their Oaths

10. Green Lantern Corps

Now, this is one origin story that is well known to every DC fan. The colour green represents the emotion of willpower as well as the centre and most stable Lantern Corps of the electromagnetic spectrum, as green is the central colour of the Emotional Spectrum.

When the Universe was relatively new, the natives of an overpopulated planet called Maltus evolved into immortal beings withholding immense power and intellect. They colonised a planet at the centre of the Universe called Oa and called themselves Oans. Soon after, a renegade named Krona performed a forbidden experiment which nearly annihilated all of creation. In the after aftermath, the Oans made an oath to combat evil throughout the universe as the self-appointed Guardians of the Universe.

After some trial and error, the Guardians decide that their newest forces to combat evil would consist of living beings with free will and strong moral character.

They created the Green Lantern Corps as an inter-galactic police force dedicated to the promotion of order and democracy through out the universe. Each lantern is appointed to protect a sector of the universe and all are armed with Power Rings made by the Guardians, which allowed them to use green light powered by their willpower and imagination to construct objects of any shape and size.

Oath: In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight! Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light!
