My ideal White Lantern Team

This post is the final post in my Colour Colour/ Serious Lantern Corps series of blogs. I am glad to finally reach the end of it since it meant having to finding a lot of pictures but it was a fun experience (even if I am the only person who has read it if any have not :p). This final post in the series is about the White Lantern Corps Team I would build, based on characters who essentually represent life, in it's colourful glory!

Where Venom (right of image) represents death and decay, Anti-Venom (left of image) represents life and healing. He is not about the celebratory aspects of life but survival. He would make a good White Lantern for this trait.

Discworld's Nanny Ogg has more life and vitality to her than any other character I have ever encountered in anything, she is a marvellous character indeed. She is the spirit of the party, filled with kindness and energy.

Jiraiya- Naruto's sensei, what can I say? He writes, he fights, he drinks, he lusts, he lives! Jiraiyaseems to get the most out of life and is a character with more personality than most in the series. He's a hero too, but most remember him as a loveable goofball, filled with eccentric life!

A man of many lives The Doctor has therefore lived a lot. He must have experienced so much in his 900 odd years it's hard to comprehend how much memory capacity he must have. He goes through all the emotions humans go through, has suffered far more than we could possibly have because he has lived so much longer, yet the important part he has lived and enjoyed life for a long time so he would make a superb White Lantern. Also he has a scientific enthusiam and loveable eccentricity rarely held by many other characters.

I now pass this recording of life to you Norman Osborn!

My thanks to you Geordie Green Lantern! Today I approve of: life!

White White Lanterns

This is the post about a team of White Lanterns I would buld based on characters who wear white.

Gandalf the White!

Glinda the Good!

Zelda the Pure!

Dagger the Dangerous!

Approvals with Norman!

Thanks Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of White White Lanterns!

My ideal Black Lantern (Nekron Corps) Team

This post is about the team I would assemble if I could make my own Black Lantern Corps, the corps of death.

Skeletor- because he has a skull for a head.

Cervantes from Soul Calibur is the coolest zombie pirate if you were to ask me.

Kenpachi- Bleach's most deadly Death god.

Pein from Naruto not only can take life away but he can also ressurect himself.

Time for you Mr. Osborn!

Many thanks Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of: death.

Black Black Lanterns

This post is about Black Lanterns I would choose to form a team based on characters who wear the colour black.

The Black Ranger!

Cloak (as in the team Cloak and Dagger).

Ghost Rider!

The last word goes to Norman Osborn.

Thanks Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of Black Black Lanterns!

My ideal Pink Lantern (Star Sapphires) Team

This is the team I think would be best suited to be wearers of the pink rings of love.

Sailor Moon is an embodiment of love. Love of her friends, love of food and sleeping in and being a bit of a brat, love of Tuxedo Kamen and so on. She is not afraid to sacrifice herself in the name of love.

Hinata is the most underrated character in Naruto, and I would say the most loving.

Maes Hughes: easily the best dad in Fullmetal Alchemist and a good husband.

Now for you Norman!

Thank you very much Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of: love.

Pink Pink Lanterns

These are the Pink Lanterns I choose based off characters associated with the colour pink.

The Pink Panther!

Chibi Sailor Moon!

Majin Buu!

Pink Ranger go!

The ultimate ladies' man in Bleach: Shunsui Kyoraku!

Never underestimate Kirby!

Now over to you Osborn!

My thanks Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of Pink Pink Lanterns!

My ideal Red Lantern Team

This is the actual team I would have of Red Lanterns, the Lanterns of Rage.

Grimmjow from Bleach is nearly always pissed off and wanting to fight something so he would make a good Red Lantern if you ask me.

Ganondorf usually looks calm, even cocky until he snaps and goes in a furious rage. Then he will try to crush his enemy with full fury.

Yeah I would move away from She-Hulk right now, she's pissed off.

Guts from the Berserk manga isn't very reasonable when he is in a berserker mood.

If Wolverine ever says to you "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough", gods hope you are hard enough.

So, now for our regular guest: Norman Osborn!

Thank you Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of: rage.

Red Red Lanterns

This post is about the Red Lantern team I would make based off characters linked to the colour red.

I am Iron Man!

Darth Maul- the most awesome Star Wars villain this side of Vadar.

Don't mess with Alucard, or he will down your rich red blood.

The leader of the Power Rangers, the Red Ranger is entitled to a pose.

Leave Hellboy's Pamcakes and he will leave you alone.

Your time to speak Norman!

Mmm Pamcakes. Sorry I got distracted there. Today I approve of Red Red Lanterns!

My ideal Purple Lantern (Indigo Tribe) Team

This is the actual team I would put together to be members of the Indigo Tribe who represent compassion.

Piccolo would be a good Purple Lantern bacause he started off the reincarnation of evil then developed a soft spot for Gohan who he trained and as indicated in the picture above sacrificed his life for. He did seek power a little bit like most shonen heroes but he was always concerned with the welfar of his adopted home planet Earth.

Sailor Mercury is the voice of reason in Sailor Moon's Sailor Senshi, but I think she is also the most compassionate of the group. She's always worried about the welfare of the others and she is thoughtful as well as full of thought.

I put Yoshimitsu as a Purple Lantern because he is basically the Robin Hood of Soul Calibur and Tekken: concerned with the welfare of impoverished people of the world and prepared to fight injustice on their behalf, because of a desire to show compassion.

Red Haired Shanks from the world of One Piece would be a very good Purple Lantern in my opinion. Even though he is hugely important in the balance of power of the pirate world, he was prepared to sacrifice his life to save a little boy he barely knew.

Shiekh would be a good choice because she helps the hero when he is in trouble and needs an extra bit of assistance. She doesn't like to see him struggle more than he already has done.

Now it's your turn to speak Norms!

Haha, thanks Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of: compassion.
