_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Warth is from Sector 2. He is the second person to be initiated into the Blue Lantern Corps. Warth was brought to Odym, home planet of the Blue Lantern Corps, by its first member, Saint Bro'Dee Walker of Sector 0001. Warth would go on to select Brother Hymn to be the Blue Lantern of his own sector of space and bring hope to its inhabitants. He chose to join the Blue Lanterns and was sent with Saint Walker and Hal Jordan to rescue Sinestro from execution by the Red Lanterns. As they passed a planet on the way, its sun prepared to go supernova. Jordan attempted to call for backup but was unable because of the interference of Warth and Saint's rings. It proved unnecessary as Warth and Saint joined together to use their powers on the sun, reversing its age until it was once more a young vital blue star. Warth listened as Saint Walker explained to Jordan Ganthet's ultimate purpose for him, to lead the Blue Lantern Corps. -Comic Vine

Ooh, this is nice. I don’t know the character but any space elephant ( even if obviously based on a Hindu god) is welcome haha!

I could see him and any GL being thrown into all sorts of armies. He’s a cool support piece. Again don’t know the character but I could see 6 life being an elephant. It’s help his support role too. Very cool.

[Lazy Orang]

Don't you mean _especially_ if obviously based on a Hindu god.

A little too on-the-nose for me

[Arkham]

Any suggestion on species and class? Couldn't find an official species for him. Also open to 6 life if people feel it's appropriate.

Just bought this mini a few weeks ago, so very happy to see this guy moving forward. I think Saint fits appropriately here, given he's the second Blue Lantern. First thing he and Walker did was recharge a sun.

I think you're right that his species has never been named, so no clue what to do there, other than somebody like, tweet Geoff Johns and asking

I think its interesting to point out that Blue Lanterns don't recharge like other rings do. They are directly fueled by the hope of others they are with/protecting, making them theoretically have waaaay more charge than other rings. Might be an interesting direction for a Ganthet/Sayd to really let the faction stand alone some day.

[Lazy Orang]

I'd love to see Ganthet around. Don't know if we'll be able to fit him into this one, but that'd be cool. Maybe we need more Blues first?

[Arkham]

If it comes down to it, we could go Loxodon, which is the D&D race of Elephant Humanoids.


Otherwise, "???" could work, but it may be a bit weird for Star-Lord armies if there's another unit with "???" as a species that prevents them from getting the bonus?
