Emotion: Rage Leader: Atrocitus Base of Operations: Ysmault Entity: Butcher With blood and rage of crimson red Billions of years ago, the Manhunters went crazy and killed everything in Sector 666—or so they thought. Five beings survived and formed the terrorist cabal known as the Five Inversions. Over time, they founded The Empire of Tears, which was as much fun as its name implies. Eventually the empire fell, and the Five Inversions were crucified on their throneworld. They're the ones who led to Abin Sur crashing on Earth, and seeded the prophecy of the Blackest Night. However, things didn't go as planned; their leader Atrocitus, in his rage, beat the others to death, and used their blood to form the Red Central Power Battery with his Blood Magic and make his own Corps.A Red Lantern's blood and circulatory system is replaced by the ring's plasma energy, which makes them immune to attempts at heart ripping (such as done by the Black Lanterns), but also leaves them dependent on their rings to live. Their powers are flight, personal forcefields, and ability to spew a corrosive plasma from their mouths that can drain the constructs of Green Lanterns. Atrocitus also designed the rings to incite the wearer into a state of constant rage, though those that either can resist this or have been exempted can create their own constructs as well.Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead Together with our hellish hate We'll burn you all— that is your fate!
Notable Red LanternsAtrocitusAKA: Atros Homeworld: Ysmault (originally Ryut) The leader and only survivor of the Five Inversions (the others died by his hand). The demonic Atrocitus was directly responsible for the death of Abin Sur and, later, Sinestro's turn to evil. His rage is the rage that fuels the entire Red Lantern Corps, for he forged the Red Central Power Battery by his own hand. There is a reason for his anger, however: the murder of his beloved by the Manhunters in the Massacre of Sector 666.Since Krona (the Guardian responsible for the Manhunter massacre) was slain by Hal Jordan, Atrocitus has been struggling with a purpose for himself and his corps. He is also working to reorganize his corps, selecting Bleez as his second and restoring her intelligence - though he quickly realizes this might have been a huge mistake.
BleezHomeworld: Havania From a race of beings with angel-like wings, Bleez was considered one of the most beautiful women in seven systems. Her mother, wanting grandchildren, set her up with countless suitors, annoying her to no end. One day, a Sinestro Corps member arrived, murdered her mother, then took her prisoner on Ranx, the Sentient City. She was repeatedly tortured and gang-raped, and her wings were removed. Her rage attracted a red ring, and she quickly killed the one who kidnapped her. She used her ring energy to create new skeletal wings, and a mask so that her beauty could never be used against her again. She joined the Red Lantern Corps, on a mission of revenge against the entire Sinestro Corps. Her hatred is so great that when Atrocitus kidnapped Sinestro, she tried to kill him right away, ignoring Atrocitus' plan.Atrocitus has since restored her intelligence, intending her to be her second-in-command. She hasn't exactly been the loyal soldier he'd hoped. She's picked out subordinates of her own: Ratchet, Skallox, and Zilius Zox. She's also part of the New Guardians team.
The ButcherHomeworld: Varies (originally Earth) The Rage Entity—the embodiment of the Red Light, given life and strength from the burning anger of every sentient being. Butcher feeds on hatred and fury the way most lifeforms eat food. Anyone he takes as his host will go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. When the anger begins to subside, he'll abandon his current host and seek out a new one to ease his insatiable hunger. The Spectre, spirit of God's wrath, sees The Butcher's existence as a perversion of his own divine mission.
Dex-StarrHomeworld: Earth Originally Dexter, an ordinary cat from Earth. A lonely woman took him in as a pet, and they loved each other very much. His owner was murdered, then two street punks put him in a bag and threw it into a river for their sick amusement. His rage attracted a red ring, which he wears on his tail. He loyally joined the Red Lanterns, battled the freaking Anti-Monitor during Blackest Night, and give Atrocitus a tour of Earth during Brightest Day.
