The Green Lantern Corps is one of the most powerful organisations in the entire DC universe, so it's only logical that their commanders, the Guardians of Oa, are even more powerful.
None may wield a Lantern ring or exhibit the same feats of strength readers have grown accustomed to seeing from the likes of Hal Jordan, John Stewart, or even the planet-sized-literal-planet-lantern Mogo, but make no mistake, the Guardians are in charge for a reason.
They're said to be among the most knowledgable beings in the entire universe, and while knowledge is very much power, the Guardians have even been shown to use their mental strength to take on enemies physically. This is because they draw upon the same energy the Lantern Corps do themselves, which has even enabled Ganthet - the most famous Guardian - to slow down the Anti-Monitor in combat.
Emphasising their strength even further is the fact that Ganthet is also said to be able to crack a planet in half with a thought, were he ever to muster the will to do so.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
