"... with my power ring."

Posted to Flickr on 15 March 2010.

In the Green Lantern comic books, the power rings worn by members of the Green Lantern Corps are the most powerful weapons in the universe. Their scope is limited only by the imagination and willpower of the wielder. The power ring’s most distinctive effect is the generation of green, solid-light constructs; whatever the wearer imagines, the ring creates.

Shown here is a real metal ring bearing the traditional Green Lantern insignia. The light effect is the result of a moving flashlight. The image was color-processed in Photoshop to show only a green hue.

Green Lantern

Green Lantern is the name given to numerous superheroes in comic books published by DC Comics. Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, was created by Bill Finger and Martin Nodell and premiered in All-American Comics #16 in 1940. Each Green Lantern is armed with a power ring that projects solid-light constructs limited only by the wearer’s imagination and willpower. Except for Alan Scott, Green Lanterns are specially selected members of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force. Notable Green Lanterns of Earth include Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner. Throughout their history Green Lanterns have often been members of the various incarnations of the Justice Society and Justice League with fellow superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and others. The Green Lanterns have appeared in numerous TV series, including Green Lantern: The Animated Series (2011), and the film Green Lantern (2011).
