Origin:
The Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum is
an energy field that is fueled by the emotions
of all sentient beings. Inadvertently, sentient
beings channeled and created seven unique
forms of energy based on their emotions, with
a certain color unique to the emotion. The
Maltusians , the oldest known race in
existence, were the first to discover and
harness this field. Krona was known to had
once wielded the entire power of the
Emotional Spectrum for a moment though it
was believed since he was an immortal he was
capable of such a feat. The successor races
eventually chose to harness the emotions of
several different colors. They also discovered
that the farther one is away from the center
of The Spectrum, the more control the energy
has on the wielder. According to a prophecy in
the Book of Oa , the seven colors of the
emotional spectrum would be harnessed by
seven different Lantern Corps , which would go
to war with each other in a conflict called the
War of Light and fulfilling The Blackest Night
Prophecy .
After the War of The Green Lanterns , various
Power Rings of the different Corps selected
Kyle Rayner as their wielder. This act allowed
him to harness the power of the entire
Emotional Spectrum for a brief moment which
was a feat that the Guardians believed was
impossible for a Human to accomplish. Their
expectations turned out to be correct when
Kyle began to bleed and weaken where upon his
Power Rings departed him thus leaving him
helpless before the Oans.
Lights
White/Life
The White Light of Life is where the Emotional
Spectrum originated. According to Indigo-1 and
the Guardians of the Universe , in the
beginning the universe was absolute darkness.
At an unspecified point in history, the white
light was introduced by an entity or entities
unknown, and for 700 years the universe was
nothing but a blinding white light. The
darkness however, fought back against the
light, eventually dividing it into the 7 Colors
of the spectrum that exists today. Those who
wield the white light have the capability to
resurrect the dead, teleport, and can create
constructs that can potentially last longer
than those cast by other lights. The white
energy comes from all living things, and all
living things from it. So far, ring wielders
seem to have no control over the ring itself,
the rings doing the bidding of the Life Entity .
Unlike other rings, which must be charged
from a battery (with the exception of black),
white rings are automatically charged whenever
the wielder performs actions that constitute
"living".
Red/ Rage
Red is one of the energies far from the
center, and represents the emotion of rage/
anger. A person who has felt great rage is able
to tap into the red light. However, controlling
the red light also renders the heart useless
and spoils the blood of the wielder. In
addition, the red light has the most profound
effect on the mind of the wielder of all the
lights, and renders most users to nothing
more or less than a rabid animal. The red light
was first harnessed by Atrocitus of the Five
Inversions, using blood rituals to form Red
Power Rings and Batteries to be used by his
Red Lantern Corps .
Orange/ Avarice
Orange is another energy away from the
center, and represents greed, capable of being
harnessed by those whose greed knows no
bounds. The Controllers, a Maltusian offshoot
desiring to create an orderly universe by
controlling it, sought the orange light to form
their own Corps. However, they awoke Agent
Orange . Because they were Maltusians, Agent
Orange considered this a breach of the treaty
he made with the Guardians and launched an
attack on the universe. Those controlling the
Orange Light are capable of stealing the
identities of people they kill, and use them to
create energy constructs subservient to the
wielder.
Yellow/ Fear
Yellow is a color close to the center, and
represents the emotion of fear. A being
capable of instilling great fear in others is
capable of wielding this power. The yellow light
was finally harnessed by Sinestro of Korugar
and the Anti-Monitor of Qward to form the
Sinestro Corps , an organization that would
bring order to the universe by instilling those
who would defy authority with fear.
Green/ Willpower
Green is the color in the center of the
spectrum, and represents willpower. This color
has the least amount of influence on the
wielder, and can only be controlled by one
who has an indomitable will that can overcome
great fear. The Oans harnessed this energy.
Following the departure of the Controllers,
those who remained on Oa became the
Guardians of the Universe , and used the green
light as the power source for the Green
Lantern Corps , an organization that would
battle evil whenever and wherever it rose to
threaten the universe.
Blue/Hope
Blue is a color close to the center, and
represents the emotion of hope. The blue light
is capable of being wielded by a being who can
bring hope for the future to others. The blue
light is the most powerful of the spectrum,
but it is also the most difficult to wield and
understand. The exiled Guardians Ganthet and
Sayd were the first to harness the blue light,
forming the Blue Lantern Corps , a force which
would assist the Green Lantern Corps in its
coming trials during the War of Light. Despite
being the most powerful color, it may only
function to its fullest effect in the proximity
of the Green light (hope on its own is hollow,
requiring will to make it reality). The blue
light is capable of draining the yellow light,
suppressing the orange and red, and
empowering the green.
Indigo/ Compassion
Indigo is a color farther from the center, and
represents the emotion of compassion. The
Indigo light can be wielded by one with great
compassion for other beings, used to heal the
sick and wounded. However, compassion can
also be forced upon a person, turning them
into a slave that feels only the indigo emotion.
The users of this light are capable of absorbing
and utilizing the lights of other Corps as they
would their own, and even to temporarily
become one of that Corps. The Indigo Tribe
has harnessed this power, most against their
will.
Violet/ Love
Violet is the other color furthest from the
center, and represents the emotion of love.
Those who are capable of great love, who have
lost their loves, or been rejected are capable
of wielding the violet light. The Zamarons
believed that the male Malthusans' rejection of
emotion was tantamount to blasphemy, and
left Oa. Traveling across the universe, they
found two crystallized corpses of a male and
female embracing each other. Between them
was a crystal known as the Star Sapphire , an
object filled with the violet light.
Unfortunately, the Zamarons interpreted the
best way to spread love throughout the
universe and destroy hate and fear was to use
the Star Sapphires to crystallize whole worlds
and trap their inhabitants. Worse, the Star
Sapphire was a parasite that overrode the
host's will and compelled them to attack the
objects of their affection, as well as display an
intense fear of men. Those wielding the Violet
light may show others their destined loves via
a Star Sapphire they possess, and create
constructs out of Star Sapphire crystals as
well as energy.
Black/Death
Black is the color of the dead and emotionless.
It is the color of the Black Lantern Corps .
Black, technically not a color but more an
absence of color and light, does not appear on
the spectrum itself for this reason, as the
Emotional Spectrum is a light based energy
classification. Those dead or once dead are
capable of becoming Black Lanterns .
