** ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': [[HerosEvilPredecessor Thaal Sinestro]] is Hal Jordan's [[{{Archenemy}} personal nemesis]], and both [[FallenHero a former Green Lantern]] and planetary dictator. Convinced that the Green Lanterns have failed in their mission of bringing order and security to the universe, Sinestro formed his own Sinestro Corps, and led them into a war against the Green Lanterns, who were only able to defeat Sinestro by resorting to lethal force—the very result the renegade Lantern had been aiming for. Since then Sinestro has changed allegiances multiple times, always with the intention of [[WellIntentionedExtremist bringing his vision of stability to the DCU]], whether it wants it or not.

** ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternFirstFlight'': Thaal Sinestro is introduced as a trusted and celebrated, but harsh and draconian Green Lantern. Having grown embittered with what he sees as the Guardians' weakness and inability to combat chaos and disorder, Sinestro plots to overthrow them, turning fellow Lantern Boodika to his cause. Allying himself with the warlord Kanjar Ro to steal the powerful yellow element, Sinestro hides his involvement by simultaneously running the investigation into the theft. Taking new recruit Hal Jordan under his wing, Sinestro shows a willingness to torture and kill in pursuit of his goals while also having Boodika court Jordan as a possible ally. When Kanjar Ro becomes a liability, Sinestro kills him, frames Jordan, and successfully claims the weapon built from the yellow element. Laying siege to Oa, Sinestro overwhelms all resistance before forcing the Guardians to surrender, and even when his plans are thwarted by Jordan, he refuses to give up without a fight. A cold and brutal man who is nevertheless devoted to his cause, Sinestro proves himself as both the Corps' greatest paragon and its greatest threat.
** ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'': "Prisoner of Sinestro": Thaal Sinestro is a celebrated, but maverick Green Lantern known for his NervesOfSteel and willingness to bend the rules to suit his purposes, as well as being a friend and mentor to Hal Jordan. Tasked with recovering the dangerous assassin Neuroxis, Sinestro is imprisoned by his fellow Green Lanterns when he falls victim to Neuroxis's mind-jumping powers. Escaping with ease and deducing the criminal's abilities and weakness, Sinestro forms a plan to force Neuroxis to abandon its host in favor of returning to its own body, voiding the atmosphere on the Interceptor except for Neuroxis's prison cell, forcing the criminal to return to its own body or suffocate, stoically keeping to the plan even as Razer nearly suffocates. When the plan works, Sinestro reveals that he had depressurized the cell, coldly taunting Neuroxis as the creature painfully suffocates, covering up his actions and [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident presenting the death as an accident]], considering Neuroxis's death to be justice served.

Even if her nature as an AllLovingHero is mostly just given lip service in the New 52 rather than demonstrated at any point it goes against the core of ''every iteration of her character'' that's not specifically an evil counterpart for her to be eligible for a yellow ring.

Apparently, I cause some dissension among you Earthmen. Normally, I'd just have [[TheDragon Arkillo]] [[ToServeMan devour you]], but I suppose some leniency is in order.

* FoeYay: Jordan stands in my way, I in turn try to rid myself of him. We come into conflict quite often. What of it?
* NightmareFuel: Apparently, my depiction by Creator/EthanVanSciver triggers this in you Earthmen. Good.
* MemeticMutation: Some terrestrial "forum users" think of my addressing a Guardian as a "[[WesternAnimation/GreenLanternFirstFlight stupid little troll]]" a method of ridicule for rivals on the so-called Internet. Needless to say, I am proud that the primitives may follow a good example yet.
* MyRealDaddy: Were it not for the human known as Creator/GeoffJohns (whom you humans rightly see as this trope to the entire Green Lantern mythos), my Corps would not exist and I would not be the brilliant mastermind I am today.
* RootingForTheEmpire: A large number of people, even outside my precious Corps, have expressed their adoration and support for me and my cause. There are many reasons for this, but chief among them is that they have rightly realized that my former masters, the Guardians of the Universe, are doing an ineffectual job running the cosmos, and recognize there might be more success under my command. It helps, also, that I am more charismatic than their seeming champion Hal Jordan.

* RootingForTheEmpire: A large number of people, even outside my precious Corps, people have expressed their adoration grown to root for Sinestro and support for me and my cause. his Corps. There are many reasons for this, but chief among them is that they have rightly realized that my former masters, see the Guardians of the Universe, are doing an Universe as ineffectual job running at best. There's also the cosmos, and recognize fact that Sinestro's one of the few villains out there might who seems to be more success under my command. It helps, also, that I am more charismatic than their seeming champion consistently capable of showing up Hal Jordan.
