![]() ![]() Funnily enough, it was actually Booster Gold who inadvertently named the corps during an attempt to distract Sinestro (see Line-of-Sight Name).Egocentric Team Naming: They could, and have been called the Yellow Lantern Corps in some occasions, but they are officially named the Sinestro Corps.Considering the amount of the upheaval the Sinestro Corps' has been through, the lack of mention of the Fear Lodge is understandable, but ring wielders no longer start out with the preliminary uniform when they gain a ring. Once that was done, they gained the proper Corps uniform as a symbol of being an official member. They were later supposed to go through a process called a "Fear Lodge," where they were put inside stone rooms, cut off from the rest of the world, and would have to confront their greatest fears in order to ignite the power of their rings. Early-Installment Weirdness: When the Sinestro Corps was originally formed, new ring wielders originally gained uniforms that were based on Sinestro's old black and blue costume, and instead of the Corps' symbol they simply had a yellow circle on their chests (similar to how Geoff Johns' run established rookie Green Lanterns as having blank white circles on their uniforms and not having Lantern insignias until after they finished training). ![]() It really says a lot about this requirement when one Sinestro Corps ring came close to recruiting Batman. The Dreaded: To be part of the Sinestro Corps, you need to be able to inspire great fear, so it isn't surprising that many members of the Sinestro Corps are extremely violent and sinister criminals and monsters of the utmost notoriety.Among their ranks Amon Sur plays it straight, being a Dirty Coward who could never overcome fear like his father Abin and fled when the Green Lanterns were authorized to use lethal force. The Sinestro Corps play with this idea somewhat, as unlike the other lantern corps they inflict their emotion rather than feeling it. Cowardly Yellow: Yellow is associated with fear on the emotional spectrum, with its embodiment Parallax needing a host to be afraid before possessing it.Bright Is Not Good: Yellow is the brightest color of the primary and secondary colors of any colorspace, and the Yellow Lanterns are made up of Ax-Crazy Knight Templars.Ax-Crazy: Well over half the team is comprised of violent, unstable psychopaths.With the destruction of Korugar in Wrath of the First Lantern, Sinestro has left his Corps with Parallax, leaving Arkillo in charge of the renamed "Yellow Lantern Corps", though he did eventually come back and bring the survivors of the planet's destruction to Necropolis, renaming it "New Korugar" while also taking back command. When Sinestro discovered that they had taken over his home planet of Korugar, he forcibly disbanded them, and most of the Corps were captured or killed in the aftermath. Since Sinestro was drafted back into the Green Lanterns, his corps have gone rogue without his rule to keep them in line. ![]() Whereas the Green Lanterns seek to bring order to the universe by promoting justice, the Sinestro Corps want to rule the universe through fear. The Sinestro Corps are fueled by fear the way Green Lantern rings are fueled by willpower and their powers are very similar, including flight, constructs and communication. Burn like his power note Sinestro's version is "Burn like MY power"-Sinestro's might! ![]()
