15 Little Known Facts About The Green Lantern Corps
11. Who Are The Darkstars?
The Darkstars were created by an offshoot of Maltusians known as the Controllers. After Krona's botched experiment, the Maltusians disagreed on how to deal with the unstable universe.
While the Guardians opted for order, and another offshoot known as the Zamarons chose to leave everything behind, the Controllers decided that they would eradicate evil through the use of Darkstars.
In reality, these mighty beings were designed for the sole purpose of protecting the Controllers' realm, as they were extremely isolationist in nature. The organisation for a time recruited many former Green Lanterns and even supported the Corps in patrolling the galaxies despite being their main competitors.
However, multiple battles, such as those on Rann and with the energy vampire Starbreaker, vastly decreased their numbers and the Darkstars eventually ceased to exist.
