16 Fictional Characters That Would Thrive As Green Lanterns Or Other Colors

Warner Bros. Pictures, NBC

When Geoff Johns decided to expand the Green Lantern lore and introduce other colors of Lanterns to the DC Universe, no one could predict the popularity of the other Lanterns and their respective corps over a decade later. Nowadays, Lanterns of all colors of the rainbow spectrum are immortalized on TV shows, video games, action figures, t-shirts, and of course, other comic books.

One fun thing that has sprung from it is wondering what other characters from other areas of pop culture would be recruited on specific Lantern Corps. What characters are blinded by rage like Atrocitus? Which ones are as greedy and full of envy as Larfleeze? Who is so full of love that they’d be given the title of Star Sapphire?

Let the debate begin! Here are some characters from various TV shows, movies, video games, and other comics that would thrive within a certain Lantern Corps based on their personality.
