Character Bio - The Guardians of the Universe evolved on the planet Maltus, and were possibly the first intelligent life forms in the universe. The Guardians of the Universe gave up on emotions and even their names in favor of intellect. In a pivotal moment billions of years ago, a Maltusian named Krona used time-bending technology to observe the beginning of the universe. That experiment caused the creation of the multiverse and the anti-matter universe, and flooded the universe with entropy. Feeling responsible for Krona's actions, the Maltusians relocated to the planet Oa at the center of the Universe and became known as the Guardians of the Universe. Their goal was simple: combat evil and create an orderly universe.

The Guardians created the Manhunters, a force of emotionless robotic soldiers designed to keep the peace. However, a programming error led to the Manhunters wiping out all life in Sector 666, and so the Guardians disbanded them and sought a new army.

Chastened by the failure of The Manhunters, the Guardians decided that their newest force of soldiers for good would consist of living beings, ones who had free will and strong moral character. They were equipped with green power rings, weapons that could create anything, limited only by the wielder's imagination and willpower. And so the Green Lantern Corps was born.

Before revealing an Order Marker on this card, you may move that Order Marker to any other Green Lantern or Oan card you control and reveal it there instead. After moving an Order Marker in this way, before taking any turns, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card to first take a turn with this Guardian of the Universe.

This Guardian of the Universe may not attack an opponent's figure unless that opponent has attacked or wounded a Guardian of the Universe you control, destroyed one of your figures, or your only remaining figures are Guardians of the Universe.

I like that we went the extra mile and shopped out the hair here - my only question is whether we feel the need to put up a "modding tutorial" for it? It would really be as simple as "shave off the hair, paint what's underneath blue if there's any discoloration." Figure if we're taking that extra step we should probably go all the way.

Good idea. I'll make a note in the OP.

This figure's set name should be Green Lantern Corps Collector Set, to avoid confusion with the Green Lantern Corps Fast Forces.
