Atrocitus was then forced to form an alliance with the other Lantern Corps to destroy the Black Lantern Corps and their leader Nekron. These rings descended on Ysmault and resurrecting deceased Red Lanterns and the Inversions, whom interrupted the Red Lanterns' battle and attacked Atrocitus, who survived and temporarily subdued the Black Lanterns. The battle coincided with the passing of the Blackest Night, as Black Lantern Rings were released to the universe and resurrecting the dead as members of the Black Lantern Corps. Sinestro and his Corps escaped in the chaos, leaving Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns to flee to the other side of Ysmault, where he intended to locate the homeworld of the Blue Lantern Corps and neutralize the threat they presented.Īfter the battle between the Red, Green, Blue, and Sinestro Corps, the Lost Lanterns and Alpha Lantern Boodikka come to Ysmault to eliminate the Red Lanterns and to retrieve Laira's body. Saint Walker placed a Blue Lantern Ring on Jordan, neutralizing the toxic effects of the Red Ring and destroying it. Revealing that Blue Lanterns need an active Green Lantern and Green Lantern Ring to tap into their power. The power of hope may be extraordinary, but it is nothing without the willpower to make it happen. A Red Ring soon attached to Jordan, bringing him under Atrocitus' control and revealing the Blue Lanterns weakness. Sinestro soon killed Laira as Jordan was getting through to her, driving him to a rage and try to kill his former mentor. Though the Blue Lanterns were able to drain the power from the Yellow Power Rings and begin calming some of the Red Lanterns, Atrocitus roared that he knew their weakness. Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns ambushed Jordan, which were soon joined by the survivors of the Sinestro Corps trying to free their leader. Soon, Hal Jordan and the Blue Lantern Corps arrived to rescue Sinestro. The ritual showed the truth to Atrocitus, who vowed to destroy the one thing which Sinestro had hidden from all others- his daughter. Further incensed that he was unable to frighten Sinestro, Atrocitus used the heart of a dead Sinestro Corps member to learn his enemy's secrets. He would then use those new rings to help destroy Korugar, the Sinestro Corps, and the Green Lantern Corps. Returning to Ysmault, Atrocitus had Sinestro bound and tied to a giant Red Lantern symbol, as he began torturing him, Atrocitus vowed to use his blood to form new Red rings for his Corps. Their mission complete, Atrocitus ordered the Red Lanterns back to Ysmault. They killed any Green Lantern or Sinestro that stood between them and Sinestro, finally taking Sinestro and a number of his corps captive. At the same time, the Sinestro Corps launched an ambush on the Green Lantern escort to rescue their leader, only to be in turn ambushed by the Red Lanterns. Once Atrocitus assembled a sufficient force, the Red Lanterns went to capture Sinestro, who was being transferred to Korugar for his execution. Additionally, the Red Lanterns were reduced to an almost animalistic state, with only Atrocitus appearing to be in full control of himself. However, upon accepting the rings, their hearts were rendered useless and spoiled the blood from within, causing them to expel it in violent manner that burned anyone who touched it. Among those who received a ring were Vice, the most ruthless of the Corps, Dex-Star, a feline alien, Bleez, a woman who had been tortured and raped by the Sinestro Corps on Ranx the Sentient City, and Laira, a disgraced former Green Lantern. War of LightĪtrocitus began sending Red Lantern rings across the universe, hoping to raise an army and destroy his jailers. In the shadow of the great Red Lantern, immersed in his victims blood, Atrocitus vowed revenge against the Guardians of the Universe and Sinestro, the "Greatest of the Green Lanterns" and the one who incarcerated him. Using blood magics he forged a Red Lantern Central Power Battery of his own which stands before a great lake of blood, and from that Lantern emerged batteries and rings to power the Red Lantern Corps. He then poured forth the great bloody rage drawn from his body by the power of the red spectrum. Īfter that, Atrocitus apparently killed the other Inversions, using their blood as part of his plans. When he gave in fully to his rage, it was given shape for the first time when he bludgeoned Qull to death, one of his fellow survivors, with a Red Lantern Power Battery. He blames the Guardians of the Universe for the massacre of his sector, and because of this Atrocitus built up years of hatred and rage. Atrocitus' first discovery of the red spectrum came during the years of incarceration he endured on the prison planet of Ysmault.
