10 Things Every DC Comics Fan Forgets About Sinestro
8. Skill And Will
Sinestro had a number of skills that have nothing to do with his Yellow Lantern Ring. In addition to a genius intellect, Sinestro was said to be especially attuned to what those around him feared. Even without employing any ring power to augment this skill, Sinestro could center on a person’s fear and use it to manipulate and intimidate them.
Sinestro had superior leadership skills, and was a master tactician, and an unparalleled hand-to-hand combatant. In a physical altercation, military operation, or group situation, Sinestro was believed to be as formidable as any sentient being in the known universe. He had regularly taken on a number of Lanterns at once by himself or battled heroes with Superman levels of power.
In a group of people where willpower was a benchmark of greatness, Sinestro was considered to possess the most indomitable will of any being in all the universe. This determination was made by the Guardian’s living embodiment of willpower, Ion. Despite his fall from grace, there was probably a reason why Sinestro was once considered the Greatest Green Lantern of All Time.
