* EscapistCharacter: Of a dark variety. The Red Lanterns are, for the most part, a somewhat uncomplicated bunch, and their goal could even be seen as noble -- visit suffering on those inflict it and go unpunished. There's just enough ruminations on the nature of rage and the CycleOfRevenge to keep things from feeling mindless, but not so much it sucks the fun out of the story. The fact that they're powered by UnstoppableRage, and this rage has its root in [[DarkAndTroubledPast horrible, terrible]] [[FreudianExcuse things happening to them]] makes them a lot more sympathetic than a pack of [[TheBerserker mindless murderhobos]] probably should be. They can be very enjoyable escapist characters. . . if you don't mind your escapism rooted in PayEvilUntoEvil.
