15 Little Known Facts About The Green Lantern Corps

Another means to help a Green Lantern overcome their susceptibility to yellow, the Phantom Ring was designed by a Guardian named Rami nearly six billion years ago. Due to its unstable nature, the Guardians excommunicated him until he was able to destroy the ring but he failed.

This volatile trinket may be even more powerful than normal Power Rings of any Corps due to its ability to channels all the energies in the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum based on the user's current emotion.

After Rami made his way to Earth, the ring found itself in the possession of Frank Kaminski, a washed-up test pilot. Due to his ongoing struggles, he was attracted to the ring's power and briefly became the villainous Phantom Lantern before being subdued by Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz.
