History WMG / BlackestNight

[[WMG:The [[Franchise/TheFlash Captain Boomerang]] at the end of Blackest Night #8 wasn't Digger Harkness...]]

When Thanos learns that his army is in peril, he brings in his secret weapon. While [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]] opens a portal to Asgard to retrieve weapons and gather reinforcements, Thanos sends a black ring through Thor's portal. It finds it's target, and a terrible, booming voice says "[[Myth/NorseMythology Odin]] of Asgard... RISE!" With that, the king of the Norse Gods is but a puppet of Thanos, putting the entire universe in jeopardy. [[Franchise/GreenLantern The Guardians of the Universe]] over in the DCU sense this great power being corrupted in another world, and choose to try to aid that world's heroes. They cannot directly help them, but they do so indirectly by sending in two of each color ring into the Franchise/MarvelUniverse to choose someone worthy enough to wield the light. Two Green Lantern rings, representing willpower, seek out hosts. They choose Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} and strangely, Comicbook/{{Deadpool}}, who says [[ActorAllusion he got it because of]] [[Film/Deadpool Ryan]] [[Film/GreenLantern2011 Reynolds]]. Next, two Blue Lantern rings look for people who inspire great hope in others. One goes to [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Steve Rogers]], the original ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, and the other to [[Comicbook/XForce Cable]]. Then, two yellow rings search for new members for the Sinestro Corps. Those who are chosen must be able to inspire great fear in others. Soon enough, [[Franchise/SpiderMan Carnage]] (who probably isn't really currently dead) and Comicbook/GhostRider are inducted. Ghost Rider tries to keep AxeCrazy Carnage in check. Then, red rings rampage around the Earth, looking for those with great rage in their hearts. ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} is chosen due to his occasional "Berseker Rages" and [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk The Hulk]] also receives a ring because the madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets. The orange rings soon find their hosts who are filled with greed: [[Franchise/SpiderMan Norman]] [[ComicBook/DarkReign Osborn]] and Doctor Doom. The violet rings zoom everywhere looking for women filled with love, and find [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Invisible Woman]] and [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor The Enchantress]]. The last rings to find hosts are the indigo ones who require compassion, which they find in [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spider-Man]] and ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}. Together, these light-wielding heroes and villains manage to fight off Thanos's undead forces. Thanos then has a vision of Death, and she rejects him for his endeavors, never truly wanting the whole universe to die. Afterwards, here is much cleanup to do, and many have died in the conflict, but the world was saved. The rings return to the Guardians, and all seems back to normal. That is, until the White Lantern appears in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse just as it had in the Franchise/DCUniverse...

* [[Franchise/GreenLantern William Hand.]] TheDragon to Nekron, who represents the opposite of emotion/emotional reaction of death

* [[Franchise/TheFlash The Black Flash.]] A minor agent of Nekron that's there to ensure no speedster can cheat death.

The Captain Boomerang that was revived by the White Rings may have been called by Digger's name (C.B. 1), but absolutely did not look like Harkness himself. In ''Blackest Night: The Flash'' #3, he looks just like he did when he died in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'', but when revived looked much younger than he did when he was a Black Lantern. What '''really''' happened was that when Captain Boomerang Jr. became a Black Lantern, he and his dad... kinda fused together into a singular entity, so when Boomerang was revived he was both Boomerang and Boomerang Jr. This theory appears to be bolstered by Captain Boomerang's profile in ''Flash: Secret Files'' as his real name is blacked out.

* However, this ''does'' tie in to an ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' WMG that Ray was the actual killer and Jean was just driven insane from Ray murdering people to try and win her back.

[[OmnicidalManiac Thanos]] opens up a portal to view other realities and sees the Blackest Night event unfold in Franchise/TheDCU. Being in love with Death, he sees recreating this event in his own world as the perfect tribute to his love. He finds a way to travel to the DCU and steals one of the black rings. He brings it back to his world and tries to replicate it and succeeds. Using these rings, he raises the dead in hopes of using those already in Death's grip to bring more into her servitude. Rings fall all across the universe, landing in graves or other places where dead bodies are stored. Eerie voices speak from the rings. "[[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga Ben Reilly]] of Earth... RISE!" "[[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Emil Blonskey]] of Earth... RISE!" "[[ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}} Mar-Vell]] of Hala... RISE!" Similar calls echo throughout the universe, and soon, the dead, empowered with their new rings, go and seek out their prey. The heroes of Earth valiantly fight off the forces of Death which are revived versions of deceased enemies, but many of them cannot bring themselves to fight those they had once loved of cared for. However, they soon come to terms that these are not their loved ones, merely twisted reflections of them brought in to confuse and weaken the heroes.

** Unlikely to happen since it -already- happened (in canon) in a Thano mini-series. In this series, Thanos gets the Heart of the Universe and doing what he does, destroys everything including reality and the cosmic entities, leaving only himself and Death. They talk and Thanos realizes that there's a 'error' in reality (that is, comic book characters cheating death) and so he remakes reality and fixes up that error. This was back in the early 2000's.

We saw at the end of Adventure Comics #5 that Laurie Lemmons has a Black Lantern Ring. Alex Luthor Jr, aware that Earth-Prime contains info on the main universe, became DangerouslyGenreSavvy. When his Black Lantern self arrived in our universe, he brought a bunch of spare Black Lantern rings,and sent them away off-panel. That way, not only will the rings remain thanks to ComicBookTime, but their users will know ''everything'' thanks to the comics being written down. [[FridgeHorror Where do you think]] [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Black Lantern Spoony came from?]]

*** '''Nekron''': "[[OhCrap My first wish is the ability to exist in the material plane without a physical tether.]] [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy My second wish]] [[DeaderThanDead is for the afterlife to no longer exist.]] [[OmnicidalManiac And my final and most wanted wish]] is, plain and simple, [[WhamLine the extinction]] [[TheBadGuyWins of all life.]]"
