Which Corps Wins "Blackest Night"?

[HopeLantern]

Just a fun poll that I thought I'd post in anticipation of Blackest Night.

Given what we know, and what we're currently learning, which corps wins the "Blackest Night?"

Probably the one that has its own book.

[Tabernac]

If Legion of Three Worlds helps I would say that the GL corps wins.

[F1uke]

I'm going with: All Corps set aside their differences and qualms and team up to fight against, and beat, the Black Lanterns.

[SeritoNiN]

I just hope that after Blackest Night, a few of these other corps exist aside from Green. It's been pretty neat seeing other corps with different agenda's. Hopefully they aren't all killed off.

[Henker]

I'm going with Green, the obvious answer.

[Metall-x]

I am guessing it will be Green in a way..though I lean towards Blue. Green will probably just go back to the way it was in the GLC series from GL vol 2 issues 201-224.

[frostedone]

I am going with a mixture of Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The good ones.

Obviously Green will win, but I really think that Blue has a chance to coexist too. They are the hope of the DCU and the DCU will need hope after Blackest Night.

Besides Blue is supposed to be the strongest right? Just pair it up with a GL ring.

Also having Love and Compassion can't hurt either.

I can see it now:
Hal "Willpower!"
Saint Walker "Hope!"
??? "Compassion!"
A Star Sapphire "Love"
Alan Scott "(Star)Heart!

<With Your Powers Combined I am Captain ____!>

We need an evil one, too...

Astrocitus "Rage!"
Agent Orange "Greed!"
Sinestro "Fear!"
Scar "Death!"
Mongol "Power!" (uses both a yellow / orange rings!)

[Bevbos]

I dunno... I could see a really horrible ending for Blackest Night. A real "no winner" scenario. Especially given what we've seen in Lo3W re: Mogo, Sodam Yat, etc. But I suppose the most logical thought would be that a reformed Green Lantern corps that does not bar emotion wins, making the other corps sort of pointless.

[Brian888]

I'm not entirely sure that the Star Sapphires/Violet Lanterns are necessarily "good". They appear to be as influenced by their rings as the Red Lanterns are, and love can be a very dangerous emotion.

[HopeLantern]

I actually voted for the Blue Lanterns. I'd like them to stick around, sort of like a "B team" that the Greens call for reinforcements. Given LO3W, Green at least survives Blackest Night.

[HVulpes]

I just want to know since we have seen Superman Obama, when will we see Blue Lantern Obama? Or Sinstro Corp George W. Bush and Orange Lantern Dick Chaney?

Also I think the Oans might be interested in keeping the Blue Lanterns, if they manage the right contract/relationship.

[Tabernac]

The Guardians are so against change and something having more power than them that they would lie to the Corps than allow an other exist, I put part of the blame on Scar though.

[Den]

I concur. I doubt very much D.C. is going to kill its golden (or in this case emerald) goose, so the GLC will be the 'winner' if anyone is, but with the proverbial cat out of the bag, it seems unlikely and unwanted not to have a few of the other Corps stay on in one form or another.

Frankly, I am all for the Blue Lanterns to survive, which would be fitting given how "hope" can be hard to kill :)

And I just don't see yellow rings vanishing anytime soon given their own long history.

This is actually a very fun idea you came up with here. I'd love to see them involve other Earths in this. On Earth-Prime, Obama definitely seems like a shoe in for a Blue Lantern ring, while Chris Brown obviously would get a Red Lantern one and Billy Graham gets an Indigo staff. All kidding aside, if written correctly that would make for one pretty awesome event.

The oans being as cold as they are, probably will reject the Blue Lantern corps much as they rejected Ganthet and Sayd. I'm also predicting that the Star Sapphires stick around as do the Sinestro corps.

[HVulpes]

This assumes that the Oans coming out of BN are the same as coming in. I doubt they will be because...

1) Scar is likely to betray them to the Black Light.
2) All of their dark secrets are coming to light.
Plus those I have missed...

It is possible the Oans surviving BN, if they do, might welcome a few more lanterns to help.

Can also see the Zamazon (sp?) will have their mistakes explode in their faces.

[OzBat!]

The best placed group to survive will be the Blue, and the Green. Primarily because Ganthet is running the Blue: he's familiar with the inner workings of OA, and isn't blind to what's going on with the others - he knows all the prophecies, the deals with the orange, etc. None of the other groups, including the Zamarons and the Controllers who've been excised from the Oans for millions of years, have any recent insight into the inner workings of the Guardians of OA.

And with the blue supercharging the green rings, AND draining the yellow rings (and in combination destroying the red rings... innnnterestink!), the Green has the best chance to survive.

Unless something changes from the last issue of Green Lantern, it seems that all rings cannot co-exist on the same person.

And remember that there is no good or bad ring.

Sinestro was once green.
Batman was once yellow.
Star Sapphire was once violet (pretty much).

[HVulpes]

Don't know who is going to win, but pretty sure the Oans are going to lose the most.

Also think they might keep most of the corps around for a while. Remember the Greens are under power and hold lesser influence since Parallex incident, add to the abandonment due to the Love law.

My guess is Scar is influencing the Book of Oa laws to weaken the Greens, both physically (by dropping recruits and neutralizing alliances which might help) but also non-physically (by forcing the corp to violate laws which have been the moral backbone of the corp, killing enemies like Sinestro who might prove to be needed allies). I also feel the Alpha Lanterns are going to have a few extra laws which Scar is going to add to their databases.

The Oans now might fear change and a threat of a different power, but when Scar is going to turn on them to aid the Black Light, they are going to be slammed by change and a power they didn't even see rising around them. They might not want an alliance with some of the other corps, but they may have no choice in the matter.

Post Script:

Does anyone else think that Ion or some other aspect of him might be added to the ROY and BIV rings to give their users more control over their powers. A willpower Green Stability to the other rings?

Thanks.

Batman once had a yellow ring? When did that happen?

[K-DoG7p7]

Alan Scott wins..
He just goes like

"Ohh shut up"
and everyone surrenders..

[Dard]

I don't care who wins as long no side (except maybe the black) is going to be wiped out.
I wasn't all that impressed by the Sinestro Corps War as many seem to be, but I think the different other corps were the best idea the Lantern writers had in a long time. I would hate to see it go, especially the blues or saphires.

Anyways, this is going to be a war, and this means nobody is going to win.

[TheCrisisKid]

In one of the issues, a yellow ring was flying around trying to find a new host, and it flew onto Batman's hand. It said something like, "You have means to provide much fear to others...blah blah blah". Batman fought it, and the ring flew off after being unsuccessful.

[Tabernac]

[HVulpes]

Here's the questions that matter:

What is a win? Who do each corp wants and will that change during war?

This doesn't enter the idea of alliances, like Blue and Green... etc.

What about neutral parties? Orange and Indigo might not be on any side officially. The I-Lanterns being the healers will heal both sides from reports, and the O-Lanterns will like be on the Black side but might be working as mercenaries with individual members working other sides based on the 'payment'. Think Ultra-humite in "Justice League", willing to switch sides from Lex to Bats based on amount of cash.

Also as a side note, I wonder what the Blackest Night's effect on Universe 32 of the 52 be? (#2--- Batman: In Darkest Knight Elsewhere, with a Jokestro and Green Lanterns Bruce, Clark, Diana and Barry plus Star Sapphire Selina)

[Karl O'Neill]

The GLC? I wager

MY GOD YOU ARE A F***ING GENIUS!!!

Blue Lantern Obama, Sinstro Corp George W. Bush and Orange Lantern Dick Chaney?!?!?!

I would be so there! lol

[HVulpes]

MY GOD YOU ARE A F***ING GENIUS!!!

Blue Lantern Obama, Sinstro Corp George W. Bush and Orange Lantern Dick Chaney?!?!?!

Red Lantern Rush Limbaugh, broadcasting hate through the airwaves with his red ring? Green Lantern Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, aiding Obama with their rings? Or perhaps Green Lantern Michelle Obama, a marriage of power?

[mr. batman]

It's going to be an all out war, with every corps against the Black Lanterns. In the end, I'd say Green is the "winner", but I'd bet that these corps will continue to exist after the fact

[How 'Bout This Heat]

Black Lantern Corps

It ain't called Blackest Night for nothing.

[celticguy]

BIG PICTURE IT WILL BE THE GREEN LANTERNS, NO?

I mean that is where DC is vested maybe one of the others will catch on and stick for a while but DC does not seem to like to get rid of anything.

[HopeLantern]

Frankly, I'm slightly surprised not one person has picked the Sinestro corps or the Red Lanterns to win.

Not much of a universe left if they win, same with the Black. Leaves trouble if you are trying to write stories in the same universe if everyone on Earth and beyond is psychotically wraithful, scared out of their mind or undead.
