10 Comic Book Villains Who Killed Their Greatest Rival
9. Sinestro Kills The Green Lanterns - Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Two
What sucks more than being killed by someone with an old-timey villain moustache? Being killed by him in a comic where this is almost forgettable, as is the cruel fate of Green Lanterns John Stewart and Kyle Rayner.
Although Hal is undeniably Sinestro’s arch nemesis, he is also the leader of the Yellow Lanterns - as thus the de facto rival of their enemies, the Green Lanterns
While many fans were understandably frustrated at two of the Green Lanterns best fighters dying without putting up much of a fight, this actually works well in the context of Injustice. Seeing the pair die tragically makes Hal Jordan teaming up with the villain all the more prominently awful, as he is essentially teaming up with the guy who has just killed two of his closest friends and comrades.
Worse yet, amongst the chaos of the series, these deaths fall almost entirely to the wayside - with Rayner's even literally taking place in the background of a panel.
