WTF? Effingham makes the front page?

This happens every couple years or so. Can't wait to see the locals come out to say hello.

It couldn't have been Sinestro, it was Hector Hammond? or that other evil artist guy who always dogged Kyle Rayner!...


Wait, who were the other GL Villains? I swear, Hourman had a larger rogue's gallery.

Off the top of my head...

Jordan: Star Sapphire, Black Hand, the Qwardians, Manhunters, Mongul (the father), Cyborg Superman, Parallax (Rebirth)

Rayner: Major Force, Nero, Effigy, Fatality, Grayven, Sonar, Parallax (Jordan), Oblivion

Dudez! You're all totally off-base. It was clearly the work of Solomon Grundy, the *original* GL villian.

Now here's a good question, what enemies does John Stewart have? The klan? I mean, he's black -and- green.

Of course, we all know Guy Gardner's enemies are... well, everybody. But that's just how Guy rolls.

I was just rereading parts of "Bloodletters and Badmen" and they mentioned the Green Lantern. Of course, I'm blanking on the context.

John Stewart GL has (had?) Fatality for an enemy, iirc. (Yes, I know you were trying to be funny...)

So when will Parallax try to rewrite history to make sure it doesn't happen?

Okay, I vaguely remember Sinestro but I couldn't pick him out of a bunch of super-villains.

Was he the super giant talking gorilla?

A zombie use fire? I don't think so.

There is only one Green Lantern that owns and runs a bar.

Lots of people hate him, even heroes.

The gorilla is Grodd; he's generally a Flash villain.

Sinestro is the short, big-headed pink guy with the Vincent Price mustache.

I bet it was that stalker Gregory Helms.

Whew. There's a Green Lantern tavern in Burlington, Iowa. I thought that was the one that burned.

Passing through southern Illinois last month, I was shocked to find that Effingham was in fact a bustling metropolis and not just a small town off the freeway. It even had several exits! Who knew?

So doesn't each ring has a different weakness? Useless against anything yellow, against wood, etc.

I stayed at a place called the Green Lantern Inn in Germany on the border with France once. They had the best cream of mushroom soup: whole mushrooms!

That's what he gets for being badly drawn now, being mayor, and being a copy of ex-machina without the ghey.

Yay! Guy Gardner thread! I have nothing to add other than my due admiration. Well, okay and the hilarious one-punch incident.

I still love you, Guy.

Best GL oath has gotta be Jack T. Chance's

"You who are wicked, evil and mean,
I'm the nastiest creep you've ever seen!
Come one, come all, put up a fight,
I'll pound your butts with Green Lantern's light!
Yowza."

Wonder about a GL movie. (Couldn't be worse that Hulk or FF4)
 
2007-06-07 08:12:51 PM
Shock_wave,

The DC guys seem to be making a better show than Marvel. Witness all the major stinkers (FF4, Elektra, Hulk) vs. fairly decent Supes and Batman.

Fuzzybeard, the St. Anthony's mascot was, IIRC, the Bulldog.

Shock_wave,

I've got an idea as to how to make a bad ass GL trilogy.

Movie one: Set up Hal. Kilowog and Sinestro as his mentors, teaching him how to be a GL. Sinestro goes rogue, big Hal Vs. Sinestro fight end the movie with Hal being victorious.

Movie two: Hal's kicking butt and taking names, best GL the Corps has to offer. Sinestro, imprisoned for his acts, strikes up a deal with the entity known as Parallax. Parallax frees Sinestro and takes over Hal. Movie ends with the near destruction of Oa. Ganthet, the last Guardian, flees to earth.

Movie three: Ganthet finds young struggling artist Kyle Rayner and bestows the ring upon him. Kyle then has to learn to use the ring and become the savior of the corps. Epic battle between Kyle and possessed Hal ensues. Kyle defeats Hal, saves the corps and they all live happily ever after. Except of course for the whole Hal being dead bit.

Cameos from other Lanterns abound. John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Rot Lop Fan, Jack T. Chance...the list goes on.

/I'd make it for you, WB!
//You'd only have to pay me a quarter of a mil.

One of my favorite Oath moments was when a large number of the Corps were powering up their rings for a big confrontation. Several were reciting their versions in native languages, a small group were using Hal's version, there was one that sounded like Alan's Oath, and off to one side there was Driq, the Green Lantern Corpse. His Oath? "Bleagh!"

Worked for him.
