War of Light-no offense-just red lantern=weak

these threads are dumb. did you complain when hero gadgets players were using clown box and boxing glove? those were clearly joker inspired. even now that they are iconic powers, its still inspired by joker, so i guess heros shouldnt use them.

the way i look at it, any power, no matter who its inspired by, should be used by anyone. the powers were stolen from all DC characters and given out to everyone, whether you were a hero or villain. you decide which side youre on, not the powers you have.

That's not the case with Lanterns though. In the case of the the Green and Yellow Light powers we have already those rings came straight from the actual Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps, they have nothing to do with Brainiac.

Amen brotha! Everyone seems to forget, you dont HAVE to be a red lantern.....hell you dont even have to play DC. It is your choice as a consumer whether or not to buy the DLC or to play this game.

Only if you accept the default back-story....

Make you own character's back-story - "I used to be a run of the mill working Joe....until I found a magic ring that allowed me to blah blah blah".

I've also got to say that if Justice League principals were upheld, most of the "heroes" would've been kicked out by now.

Of course you can do that.

Well, many of them are (ie Huntress). Yes, heroes make mistakes, but most of them learn from it.

Right click aannnnddd....saved.

Doh....wasn't explicity clear! I was referring some of the exobyte-heroes I come across, rather than the Batmans etc.

Oh! ... then yes. They all belong in the Red Lantern Corps. (just kidding, I actually do love Red Lanterns...just don't find them heroic hah)

Lol. I don't think I'd put them in the Red Lanterns....maybe there should be a Petruce Lanterns corp - representing the emotional spectrum of stupidity.

blue lantern is the next pwr and its based on a hero. However, im a villain, so I sympathise with the op.

-.-

I'd have a much harder time coming up with a Hope villain than a Rage hero. Being an anime fan, I see heroes powering up on rage all the time. I was kind of hoping Rage and Hope would be flip sides of the same power, but I can work with a Rage hero concept.

If Hope is introduced for both heroes and villains, though, I'm not sure how that would work conceptually. I suppose you could have a well-intentioned extremist concept of some sort for a villain, but it could be tricky. I'd think you'd need a flip side villain color instead, such as Greed or Love.

Most likely it will be Heroes Blue and Star Saphire Villian... jsut so yall know

I don't think that works. They already made Red Lanterns, who are even more villainous than Star Sapphires, dual faction. Why would they restrict Violets to the villain side? Certainly, I'd like for it to happen, as it is the only way I can see me getting a Blue Lantern... but honestly, they backed themselves into a corner here on what they can do with other Lantern powers. You can have neutral Reds and villain Violets. Reds are antiheroes while Violets are actually neutral.

Curious...where did you get this information?

Personally I'm disappointed that Red Lanterns is the method they are taking to introduce a Rage powerset.

They could have saved a ton of time and money and given us another color palette option in the style interface to "color" our Lantern powers (with Yellow / Red / Violet limited to Villains, and Green / Blue limited to Heroes), then saved "rage" for a Bane / Hulk type physical powerset.

i got the idea from the storyline where blue lanterns counter rage affects and spytle twitter easter egg pic of blue lantern warth.

respec token chillin in the bank as we speak

Because they all but confined blue powers were next, when they said they were releasing the blue iconic suit on the Part 2 DLC(during the live stream). And im just guessing that the villain of blue will be the Sapphira.

FYI not to sound obtuse my post had the context of the war of light Not the new 52's take on red lanterns. Dcuo is Not the new 52 btw....and in the war of light red lanterns used blood to take over the wearer and make them a mindless killing machine.....who would die if you took the ring off and they melted people with their blood constructs. New 52 they have been made more neutral, I agree with that, but supers is not a moody dude with no underwear over his pants...we're still pre52......so the argument that dcuo is sooo worried about matching current dc...is flawed. Note, I admit that when they made Wally west and other staples of my youth cease to exist....I have only read very few 52 titles
