* BigotWithACrush: The second Shadow Thief, Aviva Metula, is a bigoted xenophobe against all aliens but still wants to touch Skallox's "grotesque" face. The feeling is mutual and he returns to Earth to try and convert her to a Red Lantern.

Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Played straight with Guy Gardner, who literally beats the leadership out of Atrocitus. Averted with Supergirl, who is the most powerful Lantern but doesn't care for the position.

* BurningWithAnger: The Red Lanterns gain their power from rage, and that power has an IncendiaryExponent to it; even their Badass Creed connects their hatred with burning their enemies. Oddly enough, Rankorr looks like this trope, but is one of the few with any level of anger management.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover of Red Lanterns #29 features ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} burning her old costume while Franchise/{{Superman}} tries to stop her and Guy Gardner holds him back. Still Kara never attempts to destroy her former costume in the actual story, and Guy in fact tries to talk her into staying with her cousin.

''Red Lanterns'' was a spin-off of ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' focusing on the Red Lantern Corps. It was one of the longest-lasting series to arise out of the ComicBook/New52.
Based out of the planet Ysmault, the Red Lanterns are fueled by rage and the need for vengeance. Led by Atrocitus, they scour the galaxy, killing and destroying to sate their need for bloodshed. Lately, however, Atrocitus has grown frustrated. He fears that his schtick has grown stale and that his Corps are nothing but a bunch of bloodthirsty morons. He thus sets out to start reforming the Corps.
----
!!This series contains examples of:
* BloodKnight: The average Red Lantern spends most of his or her time fighting someone or something.
* BodyHorror: The cost of becoming a Red Lantern is to have your blood replaced by burning plasma.
* BreathWeapon: Their signature move is puking burning plasma at their enemies.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Most of the Red Lanterns began with wanting to avenge some injustice that happened to them. Once they fall completely under the ring's influence, they tend to become monsters.
* IncendiaryExponent: The red energy burns like napalm, making their force-fields and constructs even more dangerous. The flaming blood they spew is one of the few things that can overcome a Black Lantern's regeneration.
* ThePowerOfHate: They are fueled by hatred and rage, specifically hatred and rage driven by personal loss of someone emotionally close to them.
-->'''Atrocitus:''' Do you hate? The most powerful hate is not born out of ignorance or prejudice or a perceived threat. Those three are fear in disguise. The fury that fuels my corps ignites from personal pain. Those whose lives were ravaged by greed, lust and control wield the crimson light. The rings replaced our damaged hearts. They beat for them. And they keep us alive only to hate. But at least we live.
* RedIsViolent: Being a color that represents rage, violence and aggressiveness as well fire and blood, the red is a VERY suitable color for this Corps.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Atrocitus claims that just having bad things happen to you is insufficient to be a Red Lantern. You have to have someone to blame.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To the mostly forgotten 90's Darkstars, who had a similar scope and DarkerAndEdgier attitude compared to the Green Lanterns.
* UnstoppableRage: Red Lanterns are almost always angry. It fuels their powers.
