10 Things Every DC Comics Fan Forgets About Sinestro
6. Sinestro’s Ring Comes From Another Dimension
To punish Sinestro for his crimes on Korugar, the Guardians banished Sinestro to the planet Qward in the Antimatter Universe. There, he met the Weaponers, who were a group of engineers, designers, and weapons-makers in the community. Sinestro told them about the Green Lantern rings and their necessary yellow impurity. The Weaponers created a yellow ring and power battery to charge it.
The yellow rings created yellow energy constructs usually based on some aspect of the emotion of fear. The rings also created energy blasts with varying degrees of force. The stronger the will of the user, the greater the blast. Additionally, the ring created force fields and bubbles that protect the user from harm and allow them to fly in space without the benefit of a ship. The ring created wormholes, spatial warps and engaged in limited time travel.
The Yellow Ring has several unusual properties that were unique to it. It has the ability to instill fear. The ring can determine the fear of an opponent or amplify the terror of a whole group. Sinestro’s ring could heal himself and others of minor injuries. And with great effort, he could alter people’s memories. Unlike any other ring, the Yellow Ring provided power to Kryptonians or Daxamites.
