10 Villains Who Need To Be Introduced Into The DC Cinematic Universe

If there is truly nothing to fear, but fear itself, then everyone should be very afraid of Parallax. An ancient entity which is the very embodiment of fear, Parallax has the power to instill absolute fear in almost anyone it crosses.

Due to it's lack of it's own physical form, Parallax requires a living host to possess, most notable of which has been Hal Jordan. After the destruction of his home, Coast City, Jordan was left in unbearable grief, allowing Parallax to take advantage in the cracks in the Green Lantern's willpower, possessing him, and sending him on a murderous mission to alter reality itself, which claimed the life of almost the entire Green Lantern Corps, before he was taken down by the World's greatest heroes.

If included in the DC Extended Universe, Parallax would be the perfect way to not only examine the Emotional Spectrum that exists with the Green Lantern mythology, but it would also allow a director or writer to examine what happens when these seemingly unbreakable heroes are turned against those they fight alongside. A live-action retelling of Hal Jordan's possession by Parallax, and his eventual rampage against all reality, would no doubt be more than welcomed by fans, and could make for one of the darkest, most intense comic-book movies ever.
