Guy Gardner Uses a Body-Horror Red Lantern Power in Absolute Green Lantern

Guy Gardner Uses a Body-Horror Red Lantern Power in Absolute Green Lantern

Absolute Green Lantern gives Guy Gardner a disturbing new use for Red Lantern power in its latest issue.

In the wider Green Lantern lore, Red Lantern abilities are usually driven by anger and can include lethal plasma.

In this series, the Red Flame is instead powered by restraint, and its users can reshape their own bodies.

When Hammond Industries forces shoot Guy, he heals and turns his arm into a writhing mass of flesh and teeth.

He fires teeth as weapons, shocking Hal Jordan and showing how far this version of the power can go.

The issue suggests that Red Lanterns’ abilities may depend on how creatively they can manipulate their bodies, but it does not establish their limits.
