The Blue Lantern Corps is an organization in the DC Universe, is one of the nine Lantern Corps and is a frequent ally of the Green Lantern Corps.
Origin[]
Deciding that the universe needed hope for the future, two Guardians of the Universe used the blue light energy to create the Blue Lantern Corps to spread hope throughout the universe.
History[]
Before the Blue Lanterns[]
The Green Lanterns, a vast organization of peacekeepers were created by the entities known as the Guardians of the Universe in the hopes of protecting the universe from the forces of evil and strife.
Hope[]
At the end of the war with the Sinestro Corps and after being exiled from The Guardians for his individuality, Ganthet and Sayd started the Blue Lantern Corps on the planet Odym by creating a blue power ring out of their hope for the future. In doing so, they work with Adara and entity known as the Avatar of Hope that is connected to the emotion of hope and the blue light energy connected to it. These two Guardians (now calling themselves the Guardians of Hope) created a lengthy procedure to properly assess candidates to become the new Blue Lanterns. For this reason, The Blue Lantern Corps is relatively small in size.
Although not directly the most powerful lanterns, they are able to instill great hope and super charge any green lantern's ring, because; "Hope is nothing without the willpower to enact it." Due to the fact that Red Lanterns were made before the Blue, the ring of the Blue lanterns can have the power to reverse the effect that a Red Lantern ring can have on a person. The first to join this new group was Saint Walker, a man of faith and hope even in the face of a bleak fate for his world.
The Blue Lanterns made their presence known to the Green Lanterns when Saint Walker used his powers to save Hal Jordan from an attack by the rage-powered Red Lanterns. The Blue Lanterns then assisted Jordan and the Green Lanterns defeat the Red Lanterns in preparation of the War of Light, a prophesized event with dangerous reprecussions.
