3. Parallax

Though the 2011 Green Lantern film painted him horribly, Parallax is actually an insanely powerful character in the comics. It is the malevolent cosmic entity that represents and embodies the emotion of fear, which powers the Yellow Lantern Corps AKA the Sinestro Corps.

Originally, it was introduced as Hal Jordan's evil side, after he was driven mad by the destruction of Coast City, but it has changed over the years as Jordan has realigned with the heroic side into the ancient entity that caused the yellow impurity in the Green Lantern battery that renders the Rings useless against all yellow things.

t was insect-like in appearance - though obviously massive in size - and it can create fear and paranoia in entire planets' civilisations. Its powers include large-scale reality alteration, control over the flow of time, flight, the ability to possess even the most powerful of beings, mind-control powers, the ability to create solid energy constructs (just like anyone with a Power Ring of any colour) and the aforementioned ability to induce fear and paranoia in its victims.
