The Lantern Corps Meme

I know how much you all love my pointless introduction blather, but because I am so (sprocking) tired,  I am just going to dispense with the deats and get moving so that you can too. Srsly.

Which Lantern are you?!


Rules:
1. Thoughtfully look upon the characteristics and mannerisms of your character/s, then decide whether they are a Green, Blue, Indigo, Red, Orange, Yellow, or Black Lantern. Star Sapphires count.
2. Post your result by inserting one of the Lantern icons below into your comment with a reason as to why they are that Lantern.
3. Others comment on the first comment with suggestions, comments, hints...whatev.
*4.* Extra Credit. Name a shy character who isn't doing the meme and name his/her ring.

Green is Willpower, or the ability to overcome great fear.

Blue is Hope, true sincere hopes for yourself or others.

Indigo is Compassion, to spread goodwill throughout.

Violet is Love, love and true love and soothe the connections to an embattled heart.

Red is Rage, the fury that flows through you.

<i-m-g src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/tameron/Icons/05/glred.p-n-g">

Orange is Greed, wanting everything for yourself with a never ending hunger.

<i-m-g src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/tameron/Icons/05/glorange.p-n-g">

Yellow is Fear, actually the ability to cause great fear.

<i-m-g src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/tameron/Icons/05/glyellow.p-n-g">

Black is Death, dead or resurrected, you belong to them.

Technically:

But he hasn't hit that point yet, so then it comes down to two options:

Image or Image

Dude faced down Superboy-Prime and saved the world. More than that, he faced his own fears of being evil and not-good-enough and got back on the horse and did what he had to do. Even more than that, recently in the comics, he was the ONLY person that got saddled with a black ring that got rid of it through ingenuity and sheer force of will. Even Diana needed the help of a violet ring.

And supers are all about hope. No matter how bad it gets, they try to inspire it and they try to believe it. Kon's a fighter, and part of being a fighter is being an idealist even when the going gets rough and even when he's being a snarky pragmatist sometimes. Can't keep a good clone down.

He thinks he's gonna be Superman someday. As corny as all the stuff Kal spouts about hope and justice and the good in people is, Kon believes.

So one or the other. Will or hope. That's what the supers are all about.

...I think I just cried because of how powerful that speech is. I think everyone needs a Kon on their team.

Do us all a favor, Saphie, and go take over DC Comics.

HOW AWESOME WAS THAT ISSUE?

REALLY FREAKIN' AWESOME.

Seriously, I hope Bedard becomes a regular writer on Adventure.

I think he got Kon's voice down better than Johns even and it was just asdada badass and Cassie was ALSO really badass and awesome in it which I liked.
