History Characters / GLRedLanternCorps

* KickTheSonOfABitch: When Atrocitus revealed that two of her former potential suitors directed the Sinestro corps member that raped her to her, she killed one and attempted CruelMercy with the other one before Atrocitus killed him himself.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife. An earth-native ''Felis catus'' who has blue fur. Notably, the coloration made everyone assume he was simply a felinoid alien until TheReveal that no, he's from Earth and using this trope.

* BadPowersBadPeople: What morals a Red Lantern had before procuring their ring usually goes out the window considering the wield ThePowerOfHate to use it. Envisioning the power to vomit blood hot enough to burn in the vacuum of space doesn't scream "HundredPercentHeroismRating" either.

* ThatManIsDead: Many Red Lanterns hold this belief as regards the people they were before they took up a Red Ring, and the trope holds more weight than it usually does. [[DespairEventHorizon The kind]] [[RageBreakingPoint of trauma]] that attracts a Red Ring is a life-changing event ''without'' the intervention of alien {{Blood|Magic}} MagiTek, [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore you couldn't just go on with your life like it never happened]]. Physiologically, putting on a Red Ring pretty much kills you, shrivelling your heart and expelling your blood, replacing it with burning hot plasma pumped by the Ring. And since most Red Lanterns spend at least some time after getting their Rings as mindless berserkers, it's not hard to see why they might consider themselves little more than the animated corpses of the people they used to be. Which puts an interesting spin on the line "''Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead''."

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: All of the Reds. They were all fairly decent people before the Universe decided to piss all over them! They are all victims of some of the cruellest acts inflicted ever inflicted and you’d want to give them a hug if they weren’t so dangerous!

* FeralVillain: Except for Atrocitus they were all introduced as this being blood-mad berserkers turned on his targets it was only later that they were fleshed out and given character and moral ambiguity. Regaining ones faculties usually takes a baptism in a pool of blood and only gets worse from there.

The Rage Entity--the embodiment of the Red Light, given life and strength from the burning anger of every sentient being. Born from the very first killing not done for survival. Butcher feeds on hatred and fury the way most lifeforms eat food. Anyone he takes as his host will go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. When the anger begins to subside, he'll abandon his current host and seek out a new one to ease his insatiable hunger. ComicBook/TheSpectre, spirit of God's wrath, sees The Butcher's existence as a perversion of his own divine mission.

* {{Archenemy}}: The Butcher and the Spectre have a history, with the latter ominously informing the Butcher that he is warned it before that Earth is ''his'' domain.
