Character Bio - After the death of his wife Ilana in a brutal civil war that ravaged his home planet Volkreg, the rage in Razer's heart allowed him to be recruited into the Red Lantern Corps by Atrocitus, their leader. Following his recruitment, Razer was tasked with luring and killing the half-trained frontier Green Lanterns patrolling the Forgotten Zone, alongside fellow Red Lantern, Zilius Zox. When Green Lanterns Hal and Kilowog took the Interceptor to the Forgotten Zone to investigate these murders, the Red Lantern Corps followed them to the homeworld of frontier Lantern Shyir Rev. Ordered against his better judgement to begin the countdown to blow up the planet, Razer did as instructed, and though the Green Lanterns successfully evacuated everyone prior to its destruction, Shyir Rev died delaying the detonation so that his people had time to escape.
Consumed by guilt over his actions, Razer defected from the Red Lantern Corps and was captured by Hal Jordan while attempting to commit suicide by cop. Hal saw that there was more to Razer than rage, and before long accepted him into his crew, where Razer began his redemption, aiding Hal in battling the Red Lantern menace across the Forgotten Zone. In time, he began training with Saint Walker of the Blue Lantern Corps in order to help control his anger, and developed an affection for the Interceptor's A.I., Aya.

I just spent more time than anyone should need to leafing through the truly ugly comic book adaptation and yeah, slim pickings.

Spoiler Alert!

I do like his blank, pleasant smile in the last one, though. Really captures his personality.

In general, I still think the "bonus clause" in the last power could be simplified to something like this: "Add 1 to your roll for each friendly wounded figure within clear sight of Razer, to a maximum of +3." But eh, it's still not that much text saved.

[Lazy Orang]

Yeah, that comic does not have good art. I suspect no one truly cares about it, but I'm glad it exists just so I can design him!
Yeah, blank, mild and pleasant is perfect here!
That last power could probably be worded a tad better, I pretty much stole from Raph.

I did learn from that that there’s way more Razer x Aya fanart than I would’ve normally guessed.

Not entirely surprising, although looking ahead for comic art has caused me to see more Aya fetish stuff than I ever wanted to know about.

What is wrong with people!?

[Arch-vile]

He's so chubby! And the complete lack of pupils is unnerving.

You've got an extra period at the end of Righteous Rage 17. Red Power Battery should mention "red Battery Marker" both times - that's an update we'll need on the other Red Power Battery figures as well.

Man, I remember being freaked out by the X-Men cartoon as a kid, simply because of Storm's eyes whenever she used her powers.




Legitimately creepy.

Aya is a attractive robot lady, don’t botshame people.

Red Lantern (Razer) Mini Tutorial

Spoiler Alert!

Start with Heroclix's Blackwing and Rankorr (or any other Red Lantern miniature, because we just need the body).


Cut the heads off (nail clippers work great) and glue Blackwing's head onto Rankorr's body.


As the body is painted already, we only have to paint the head. Paint the face white. Paint the back of the head black.


Paint the "ears" and everything surrounding the face red. Now the tricky part is the face markings - practice these on some paper first. I also added a little black diamond on the forehead area.


Add the eyes, just a dot of white paint within the black area.


Add blue pupils. That's it, Razer is complete!

Thread title should probably be updated to indicate what phase we are in. Are we ready for an Initial here?
