History Characters / GLOtherVillains

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He makes a racist comment to Tom Kalmaku and seems to resent Simon for being a Muslim Lantern.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Just look at them.

* SwissArmySuperpowers: Neron granted Paul the ability to wield powers similar to the Green Lantern.

* BodyHorror: In his first appearance, he was basically just an ordinary conman with a Green Lantern Ring (a powerful meteorite he found, not a, you know, ''actual'' Green Lantern Ring), and had no powers at all. Over time, continued exposure to the stone warped him into what he is today.

* GreenLanternRing: Neron granted Paul the ability to wield powers similar to the Green Lantern.

* GreenLanternRing: Mixing his knowledge of science and new abilities with sorcery, Ub'x created the "Sucker Stick," a weapon to match his enemy's Power Ring.

* GreenLanternRing: Averted, but in fact his power is the ''reason'' for the Power Rings: a way to use MagicFromTechnology to control the same power of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum he can naturally.

* AscendedExtra: Originally he was just a jerkwad pilot Hal had to deal with in ''Secret Origin'', who only appeared for ''one page'' and was forgotten immediately after his interaction with Hal Jordan and Thomas Kalmaku ended. In Sam Humpries' run in ''ComicBook/GreenLanterns'', he resurfaces in the second arc "The Phantom Lantern", where he is given the Phantom Ring by Volthoom and it is up to Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz to get the Phantom Ring away from Laminski before things get catastrophic.

* ImAHumanitarian: Devours human bodies and minds alike.

* MadnessMantra: When written as an animal rather than an egomaniac he's been known to repeat variants of "need think...eat...brain," "need more brain," and the like ''ad nauseum''.

A man-eating tiger shark who prowled off the shore of Coast City, The Shark was mutated into a humanoid form and granted psychic powers after being exposed to alien radiation. He has since battled both Green Lantern and ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}.

* AscendedExtra: Originally he was just a jerkwad pilot Hal had to deal with in ''Secret Origin'', who was forgotten immediately after his interaction with Hal Jordan and Thomas Kalmaku ended. In Sam Humpries' run in ''ComicBook/GreenLanterns'', he resurfaces in the second arc "The Phantom Lantern", where he is given the Phantom Ring by Volthoom and it is up to Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz to get the Phantom Ring away from Laminski before things get catastrophic.

* AscendedExtra: Originally he was just a jerkwad pilot Hal had to deal with in ''Secret Origin'', who was forgotten no sooner than he was named. In Sam Humpries' run in ''ComicBook/GreenLanterns'', he resurfaces in the second arc "The Phantom Ring", where he is given the titular Phantom Ring by Volthoom and it is up to Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz to get the Phantom Ring away from Laminski before things get catastrophic.

* AscendedExtra: Originally he was just a jerkwad pilot Hal had to deal with in ''Secret Origin''. In Sam Humpries' run, he suddenly becomes much, much, much more important.

* NamesTheSame: Shares a name with another Volthoom, who was either (In the pre-Crisis Earth Three) a monk who gave the villainous Power Ring his eponymous weapon, or (In the post-Crisis Antimatter Earth) a benevolent mystical being who resided within the villain's ring. ''Green Lanterns'' #18 revealed that the Rebirth-era version of Earth-3's Volthoom was created by a version of [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes Mordru]], using a piece of this Volthoom's soul to create the Power Ring. Meaning that the First Lantern and Earth-3's Volthoom are indeed the same person.

* ConflictKiller: Once he takes over as the Big Bad, most of the fighting between the different corps takes a back seat.

* AllmightyIdiot: As it turns out, physically merging with the universe isn't good for your sanity.

->'''Homeworld:''' Various

After deciding that the universe has grown too chaotic and that the Green Lanterns have failed in their mission, the Guardians of the Universe decided to create a new force to forever unify the universe in their image of perfect order. The Third Army was created through the power of the First Lantern and the Guardians' own flesh. They spread like a plague, converting anyone they can get their hands on into members of the Third Army to eventually replace all life in the universe.

* HeroismAddict: He wants to bask in public adoration.

* AwesomeEgo: Not without justification, but he still refuses to listen to anyone who tells him he's wrong.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: A tiger shark, rather than a great white. The rarity of any shark other than a great white being used in fiction is probably best demonstrated by how many artists fail to get the memo and draw The Shark as grey as white, while leaving out the tiger shark's distinctive stripes.

* BalefulPolymorph: In his first appearance, he turned Hal's sidekick Thomas Kalmaku (who was disguised as Hal at the time) into a monkey.

* NameFaceName: “Gold Face”.
