%%* AndTheAdventureContinues: How his series ends.

* WouldSayIfICouldSay: He has a habit of reminding himself that he is an atheist whenever he uses exclamations that mention God.

* {{Asexuality}}: Possibly, as heavy abuse on his mother's part made him believe that any woman that wasn't her was vile and would give him cooties.

* AndIMustScream: Glomulus's actions in ''New Guardians'' lends credence to the theory that all of the Orange Lanterns Larfleeze created are indeed the actual souls of the people he killed and "stole" and not just replicas. Further supported by Invictus, who claims the reason Larfleeze couldn't create a copy of one of Invictus' people is because when they die their soul passes on to other members of their race, so Larfleeze can't copy it.
** Confirmed in Larfleeze's comic book series.

* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: Unlike the other colors, the orange light is at its strongest when channeled through a single user. Which makes sense considering the emotion it represents.

* YourSoulIsMine: In ComicBook/{{New 52}} continuity, at least, the Orange Lantern can capture the souls of those killed by the bearer, and these are used to create the "Orange Lantern Constructs".

* AndTheAdventureContinues: How his series ends.

!!Glomulus

!!Ophidian the Tempter

The Avarice Entity--the living embodiment of the Orange Light, given life and strength from the envy, gluttony, and greed of every sentient being. Born when a living being ate more than its fill for the first time. Ophidian inhabits the Orange Power Battery and speaks directly to Agent Orange's mind, inflaming his avarice. Because of its supreme greed, Ophidian hates its servitude to Agent Orange.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Was in love with [[spoiler:Clypta]], who was actually in love with [[spoiler:Glomulus]]
** TheLeader: Becomes the de facto leader of the [[spoiler:resurrected]] Orange Lanterns by virtue of being the most diplomatic and intelligent among them.
* {{Mummy}}: Looks like one and is implied to be one. He comes from a planet called Cairo and his Black Lantern mentioned Larfleeze stole the treasures buried next to him.

!!Sayd
(See "[[Characters/GLGreenLanternCorps Green Lantern Corps]]"; in the "Guardians of the Universe" folder) - Guardian of the Orange Lantern Corps, ever since she promised her servitude to Larfleeze to get his help during the ComicBook/BlackestNight.

!!Pulsar Stargrave

* BadAssDecay: Prior to ComicBook/BlackestNight, Stargrave was one of the bigger villains the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes ever fought, easily capable of fighting off the Legion at its full might unless they planned ahead. Afterward, well, he's Larfleeze's butler -- and not even a BattleButler. Of course since his battles with the Legion chronologically took place a thousand years into the future, it's possible at some point Pulsar TookALevelInBadass before encountering the Legionnaires.

!!Other Orange Lanterns

* NotSoDifferent: He admits that his ring requires a great deal of will and imagination to use effectively, traits shared with the Green Lanterns that he hates so dearly. Larfleeze also makes the argument that he deserves a Blue Lantern ring because he believes that greed and hope aren't too dissimilar from one another.

!! Glomulus

!! Other Orange Lanterns

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: At his core, he does still harbour a deep sorrow at the absence of the family he loves and hasn't seen for eons. [[spoiler: He does eventually reunite with them in the epilogue of the Johns' run, but old habits die hard and he ruins everything with his greed.]]

->'''Homeworld:''' Earth (originally Ogatoo, then Okaara)

The only true member of the Orange Lantern Corps. Billions of years ago, Larfleeze was part of a band of thieves that stole Parallax from the Guardians. While hiding out in the Vega System (and following a map they also stole), Larfleeze and his remaining men found the Orange Central Power Battery (unlike the others, it's small and handheld). While they began to fight over it, the Guardians and the Manhunters showed up and demanded Parallax. In return, they gave them the Vega System and the power of the Orange Light of Greed; however because of its nature, the Corps can have only one member (as greed is inimical to sharing) and so Larfleeze killed them all. He makes up for the lack of numbers by making legions of constructs of all the people he has killed (and eaten) over the long, long time of being Agent Orange.

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Glomulus's initial design and early appearances were very ugly and disgusting looking, but when he began appearing in ''New Guardians'' his appearance fell more under ugly cute like a strange little plush toy.

'''[[CaptainObvious NOT YOURS!]]'''''

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Every one of the Lantern Oaths rhyme, even [[ComicBook/BlackestNight the Black Lantern Corps]]. Larfleeze, as shown in ''ComicBook/WrathOfTheFirstLantern'' and its GrandFinale... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment doesn't follow that rule]].

* SealedGoodInACan[=/=]SealedEvilInACan: Both, given the vagueness on the backstories of most of the Orange Lanterns.

!!Sayd (See "[[Characters/GLGreenLanternCorps Green Lantern Corps]]"; in the "Guardians of the Universe" folder) - Guardian of the Orange Lantern Corps, ever since she promised her servitude to Larfleeze to get his help during the ComicBook/BlackestNight.

!!Pulsar Stargrave - [[DeadpanSnarker Snarky]] Coluan butler and OnlySaneMan to Larfleeze, he was first introduced in the backup strips in ''Threshold''.

** ButterFace: She has a shapely, curvy female body, (though she's more stretched and alien looking when drawn by some artists) but a face that's more or less just a gaping maw and no eyes.
** CreepyLongFingers: Even with the substantial webbing between her fingers they manage to be long, needle thin and sharp, looking especially eerie when she's grabbing for someone. (They're more human proportioned post-Flashpoint)
** {{Fingore}}: Gets a finger bitten off by [[spoiler:a captive Larfleeze.]]
** StringyHairedGhostGirl: She originally came from the Obsidian Depths so she constantly appears as if her hair is wet.
** YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is naturally green.

** AllLoveIsUnrequited: Was in love with [[spoiler:Clypta]], who was actually in love with [[spoiler:Glomulus]]

** {{Mummy}}: Looks like one and is implied to be one. He comes from a planet called Cairo and his Black Lantern mentioned Larfleeze stole the treasures buried next to him.

** BeleagueredAssistant: Of Larfleeze whom he hates tremendously.
** ButtMonkey: To Larfleeze, the humor is him dealing with lots of comedic punishment and him snarking back bitterly.
** CloudcuckoolandersMinder: His role in Larfleeze's life could as easily be called babysitter as butler.
** DistressedDude: A great deal of the story in Larfleeze's spinoff comic centers around him being rescued from Larfleeze, only to find [[OutOfTheFryingPan his rescuers are even worse]], whereupon he is rescued back by Larfleeze. [[RunningGag and then re-rescued from him]]. [[UpToEleven Larfleeze immediately goes on a mission to rescue him back.]]
** ServileSnarker: Very snarky to Larfleeze shenanigans.
** WeWantOurJerkBack: Despite his distaste for Larfleeze, he finds serving the orange lantern far preferable to the Gods of T'uath Dan. He fondly compares Larfleeze to a hemorrhoid he has grown so used to that it feels too strange to be without that familiar pain in the ass.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: At his core, he does still harbour a deep sorrow at the absence of the family he loves and hasn't seen for eons. [[spoiler: He does eventually reunite with them in the epilogue of the Johns run, but old habits die hard and he ruins everything with his greed.]]

* ShoutOut: During a story framing sequence, Larfleeze is seen hoarding the 7200 rings of the potential Corps, and [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales swimming through them.]]

* Blume
** AGodAmI: Combined with JerkassGods, he demanded people give him their valuables. Although, he wasn't ALL bad. See below.

* Clypta
** DarkActionGirl: Perhaps the most violent and irritable of the group after [[spoiler:her resurrection]]
** DefiantToTheEnd: When Larfleeze considers killing the Orange Lanterns [[spoiler: again]] after the torture they put him through, Clypta announces that they (or at the very least, she) will spend every second fighting against Larfleeze's control if he turns them into constructs again. [[spoiler: Larfleeze decides they're not worth the effort and leaves them to die.]]
** NoAccountingForTaste: She's had a longtime crush on [[spoiler:Glomulus]] for years. He does not reciprocate due to not being all that interested and being unable to reproduce that way.
** WreathedInFlames: She seems to naturally generate flames around her head and tendrils.
* Sound Dancer
** ButterFace: She has a shapely, curvy female body, but a face that's more or less just a gaping maw and no eyes.

* NoSell: No matter what he does Volthoom cannot pin Larfleeze down into a scenario where he can feed on his emotions. He's just that greedy he always snaps out of it.
