The revamped post-Rebirth Corps now has two Lanterns per sector, who are even referred to as police-style back-up.Space Police: Though they're more spread-out than most, with only one Lantern for many star systems additionally, they're independent of any government, being run by Sufficiently Advanced Aliens and their mighty power rings pack an incredibly versatile punch.Sanity Has Advantages: The usual explanation for why they're the most influential of the Lantern Corps is that since the Green Light is in the middle of the emotional spectrum, using them tends to cause the least With Great Power Comes Great Insanity.Order Reborn: Hal Jordan -possessed-by-Parallax killed many of the corps and forced others into hiding, but by Ganthet's actions, they were able to double in size.Examples range from creating umbrellas when they forgot their own to creating chairs when none are available. Mundane Utility: Almost every Green Lantern is shown at some point using their rings for practical purposes beyond their original intent.Jurisdiction Friction: They usually leave the planets in their sectors to handle their own affairs, but in one of the rare occasions when the situations therein become dire but the local authorities are still active in some capacity, the Lanterns tend to butt heads with them, and will even threaten to have them arrested ◊ for overreaching themselves.Imagination-Based Superpower: Green Lantern power rings have at minimum the following powers, with potentially infinite others accessible depending on the user's imagination: flight, constructs, energy blasts, force fields, FTL travel, energy absorption, electromagnetic scanning, a galactic encyclopedia (from its link to the Book of Oa), a universal translator, an emergency beacon, a homing beacon, programmable security protocols, and pan-universal telecommunications.Heroic Spirit: This is more or less what allows them to use their rings.Deus Exit Machina: If there's a Bad Future, expect the whole organization to be absent for one reason or another.Determinator: Because the rings are powered by willpower, each and every GL is naturally one.

Barrier Warrior: Most GLs prefer to fight this way, unless their imagination is particularly active.

Badass Creed: See above, and they set the trend for every other Corps.

Now, Lanterns need only remember fear and overcome it (as opposed to being completely fearless as they were originally) in order to affect yellow objects. Originally ineffective against yellow, this weakness was retconned as being the result of Parallax being imprisoned in the Battery. Green is the manifestation of willpower and sits at the balance of the emotional spectrum. Occasionally, Lanterns have been able to pull off more elaborate usages of the power, such as Mind Control, phasing through solid objects, genetic or biological manipulation, and the creation of permanent objects. Sinestro, a former Green Lantern, boasts that this was his primary goal in going to war with the Green Lanterns in the first place.Ī Green Lantern's power ring enables its wearer to create constructs of any shape and size the wearer can imagine and maintain through willpower, as well as flight, a personal automatic force-field with contained native atmosphere, faster-than-light travel, communication with other Lanterns, automatic translation of any language known to the Oans, access to the Oan database, and scanning capabilities. At first, the Green Lanterns were prohibited from killing, but the Guardians amended the Book of Oa during the Sinestro Corps War to allow for the killing of designated enemies.

Originally numbering 3600 members, this number was increased to 7200 after the Corps was restored. The Green Lantern Corps was created by the immortal Guardians of the Universe to empower sentient species with sufficiently noble qualities to police their own sectors of space.
