!!Indigo-1

%%* [[MrExposition Ms. Exposition]]

!!Munk

* NumberTwo: He's Indigo-2 for a reason.

!!Natromo

!!Proselyte

The Compassion Entity--the living embodiment of the Indigo Light, given life and strength from the empathy and concern every sentient being has for other creatures. Unlike with the rest of the tribe members, Proselyte seeks out those ''with'' compassion rather than without.

!!Other Indigo Tribesmen

* TheAtoner: She was [[spoiler: an unrepentant sociopath, like all Indigo tribe members until Abin Sur forced her to feel compassion by inducting her into the Indigo Tribe. However, after the ring came off, she is now this willingly]].

Little is known of the Indigo Tribe, as they are a reclusive group of monks with their own language known to only to themselves (and untranslatable by the Green Lanterns). The Indigo Light stands for compassion, defined as the ability to empathize with others while retaining distance and understanding the motivations of others. As such, they are able to access and redirect the powers of other lanterns when they are present, they possess the powers of flight, teleportation (though this consumes a lot of their energy), and flight auras. They are also able to force compassion on those who have none, including, it turns out, themselves. ''Every'' permanent member of the Tribe is a {{Brainwashed}} former sociopath.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: One power that is unique to the Indigo Corps is the ability to transport themselves and a number of other people instantly across interstellar distances.

* Black Hand (see [[Characters/GreenLanternBlackAndWhiteCorps Black Lantern Corps]])

%%* GentleGiant

->'''Homeworld:''' Unknown

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: He appears to be a squid or similar type of animal.

* EmpathicWeapon: The original inhabitants of the Tribe's homeworld harnessed the Indigo energy to create weapons, until they discovered their weapons actually ''felt bad about killing.''

Indigo-1's second-in-command, a large alien male. In Blackest Night, he accompanying Indigo-1 to Earth at Coast City in order to recruit Hal Jordan, then departed to Oa in order to assist the Green Lantern Corps who were being assault by the Black Lanterns. Once there, Munk aided Vath Sarn and Isamot Kol who were defending their position from Black Lanterns. Through his manipulation of the light of compassion, Munk managed to sever the Black Lanterns connections to their Power Rings. He later assisted Soranik Natu in preventing Black Lantern Power Rings from claiming the recently deceased Kyle Rayner.

* ChekhovsGunman: His name was mentioned long before he was introduced. Apparently he asked the Indigo Lanterns not to use his name in their oath, but they did anyway.

** TokenGoodTeammate: The first Indigo Lantern member who was chosen ''because'' of his compassion, not because of a lack thereof.

* LackOfEmpathy]]: Without the Indigo Light.

* TheSociopath: Without the rings, every single one of them is this.

Munk later sought out Kyle Rayner, as an Indigo Power Ring had sought the Green Lantern on Earth on its' own. Calling Rayner a Ring Thief, Munk used his Power Ring's teleportation ability to enable the other Lanterns to follow Kyle Rayner to Oa, and then to Okaara when Larfleeze battled the Guardians on Oa.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's implied he has one, like all the Indigo lanterns, when on a mission with Fatality, she notes he's built and moves like a warrior, and how when he shows up he analyzes the situation to find all the tactical advantages. She asks who he was before joining the tribe, and he merely looks down not saying anything.
