History WMG / BlackestNight

Let's face it, he's [[LaughablyEvil too damn fun]] to be KilledOffForReal. If he comes back, I imagine that he'll be an EnemyWithin of Firestorm, and a fitting EvilTwin. Sowing seeds of dissent, so that the Firestorm Matrix detonates and BOOM! [[OmnicidalManiac There goes the universe...]]

When Thanos learns that his army is in peril, he brings in his secret weapon. While [[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 "[[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. [[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 MarvelUniverse to choose someone worthy enough to wield the light. Two Green Lantern rings, representing willpower, seek out hosts. They choose {{Daredevil}} and strangely, {{Deadpool}}, who says [[ActorAllusion he got it because of]] [[Film/XMen Ryan]] [[GreenLantern Reynolds]]. Next, two Blue Lantern rings look for people who inspire great hope in others. One goes to [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Steve Rogers]], the original CaptainAmerica, and the other to [[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, [[SpiderMan Carnage]] (who probably isn't really currently dead) and 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. {{Wolverine}} is chosen due to his occasional "Berseker Rages" and TheHulk 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: [[SpiderMan Norman]] [[DarkReign Osborn]] and DoctorDoom. The violet rings zoom everywhere looking for women filled with love, and find [[FantasticFour Invisible Woman]] and [[TheMightyThor The Enchantress]]. The last rings to find hosts are the indigo ones who require compassion, which they find in [[SpiderMan Spider-Man]] and [[XMen 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 MarvelUniverse just as it had in the DCUniverse...

Let's face it, he's [[EvillyAffable too damn fun]] to be KilledOffForReal. If he comes back, I imagine that he'll be an EnemyWithin of Firestorm, and a fitting EvilTwin. Sowing seeds of dissent, so that the Firestorm Matrix detonates and BOOM! [[OmnicidalManiac There goes the universe...]]

The Atom being chosen as a member of the Indigo Tribe raised a few eyebrow among readers. After all, [[CryForJustice the very last thing Palmer had been seen doing]] was committing ColdBloodedTorture against several villains by stomping around inside their brains - the same way his deranged ex-wife murdered one of his oldest friends. Those aren't exactly the actions of a very compassionate person. After the end of BlackestNight, though, we discover the indigo rings ''force'' compassion on those who lack it. Suddenly, Ray Palmer being chosen makes a lot more sense.

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. So they can prepare for a BlackestNight comeback

[[WMG: Nekron ''won'']]
He sucsessfully killed the White Entity. Everything in the final pages of Blackest Night 7 and after that is ''the entire universe's'' DyingDream

* No, because then he would have to contend with the ultimate force, the mighty undying '''''[[FakeUltimateHero HERCULE]]'''''!

** Unlikely to happen since it -already- happened (in canon) in a Thano mini-series. In this series, Thanos gets the Infinity Gauntlet 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.

[[FridgeHorror Nekron really would have a fighting chance]]

* [[Tropers/KendraKirai I]] think it's more likely that they're in addition to the Endless. Because the Endless aren't really *endless*. Even Death will eventually have nothing left to claim but herself. Nekron isn't Death, he's more....total un-life. He wants ''everything'' gone, to return to the empty blackness that is Nothing.

They are both supposed to be in the same continuity and the origins described are suspiciously similar: X came into being with the first creature capable of doing X. Of course the Endless are described as being a lot more powerful and Death really doesn't look anything like Nekron. There also isn't a one to one match between the Endless and the Corps. Destruction - Rage, Desire - Love and Dream - Willpower make sense. Death - Death is obvious. Hope, Compassion, Averice and Terror would be harder to match to Despair, Delight/Delirium and Destiny especially since the numbers don't work out.

**** This is the guy who suggested the FMA thing first, and has perfected it. Replace Armstrong from above with Al, and for the Black Lanterns: Scar's Brother, Lan Fan's grandfather, Olivia's Second-in-command, Ed's mom, Hughes, That snake chick who died IN Al, and...I still need one for May Chang. Any ideas? Planning on getting some fanart of this done soon.

**** As the original troper who typed this, I would have to say Hope would make a better Blue Lantern, especially since Cable's dead.

**** I had an idea like it too, only with Reborn!. The seven of them and the Shimon get rings, with the entities, to fight BL Byakuran and BL of their future selves.

*** I have had a similar idea to this one, but with the FullmetalAlchemist universe. Red-Scar, Orange-Ling, Yellow-Olivia, Green-Ed, Blue-Roy, Indigo-Major Armstrong, and Violet-May Chang. A Black Lantern version of Hughes, Homhehein, the Homunculi...and even *gasp* Mrs. Elric!

*** Wouldn't Hope be a better choice for a Blue Lantern, because of her name, and the fact that she is the mutants hope.

** This Troper seconds that opinion. And insert a link to it here.

[[OmnicidalManiac Thanos]] opens up a portal to view other realities and sees the Blackest Night event unfold in the DCUniverse. 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. "[[TheCloneSaga Ben Reilly]] of Earth... RISE!" "[[TheHulk Emil Blonskey]] of Earth... RISE!" "[[CaptainMar-Vell 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.
