The Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum is, at least in we-can-fly-around-in-space-tights-land, an energy field fed by the emotions of all living things. We begin with the “Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum.” Whomst among us has not wondered where feelings go when we’re done with them? I know I have had a few I wished would go away sooner, Emotional Electromagentic Spectrum take the wheel.

But, in honor of the first GL’s 80th anniversary, and to cut down on the confusion for new fans-and old fans returning to the fold-I thought I’d write a quick and handy guide to the Lanternverse.

Even casual comics readers have likely also heard of the Red Lantern Corps, and anyone who watched the animated series met at least a few Star Sapphires, Oranges, and Blues. The most famous of these groups are probably the Green and Yellow Lanterns, with the latter sometimes being referred to as “The Sinestro Corps” after their most prominent leader to date. Part of their reboot was to write The Book of Oa which contained (ominous vibrato) a prophesy that predicted each of the seven colors of the emotional spectrum (green, yellow, orange, white, red, blue, indigo, violet/Star Sapphire, and black) would be harnessed by a different group, a corps, if you will (and I know you did), who would eventually clash in the War of Light.

When their own planet was destroyed, the Malthusans migrated to Oa and began anew. When the Green Lantern Corps was born in 1959, a new mythos came with it: that of the Malthusans, the oldest beings in existence.
