Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
We already know that there have been a gazillon green lanterns out there.
Hal Jordon, Alan Scott, Guy Gardner, the list goes on.
But there are also some other familiar faces who you may not realize have worn the ring
at one point or another.
We are also including villains in this list because the ring des not discriminate!
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 superheroes who have been a green lantern part 2.
In the number 10 spot is BIG BARDA.
The follow up story to JLA the nail, called Another Nail, follows the story of a very
different justice league that was affected by a nail causing the kents to miss SupermanÕs
arrival.
So in this tale, a battle raging on Apokolips claims the life of Mr. Miracle.
However, his essence escapes into the mother box of his wife, big barda.
When one of the green lanterns involved in the fight perishes, the ring goes to Barda
and fuses with her mother boxÑand her projections can take on the form of her enclosed husband.
Coming in at number 9 we have ICE.
In Justice league quarterly #5, androids have been sent by the villainous professor Ivo
to sap the worldÕs strongest heroes of their powers.
One hero who flew under the radar, Ice, had decided to leave the justice league for not
being strong enough of a hero.
Seems like that was a blessing that day.
When the justice league attempted to stop Ivo, Guy Gardner was knocked out and Ice took
over the ring, fixing everything with her green-tinged will.
Proving that strength isnÕt always physical, but from within.
All that nice mushy stuff.
Next, at number 8 is DOOMSDAY.
Our first villain on this list is not one to joke around about, especially when he has
snagged himself a power ring.
In Doomsday year 1 annual, the villain comes across a green lantern and, in classic doomsday
fashion, obliterates him.
Then of course, he takes the jewelry for himself and before we knew it, he had found himself
on Oa, the planet of the guardians of the universe headquarters.
It took one lantern, to sacrifice himself to temporarily defeat Doomsday.
But we know this abomination doesnÕt stay down for long.
In the number 7 spot we have THE PENGUIN.
He may not be as physically imposing as Doomsday, but when this Batman villain got his hands
on the power ring on the animated series episode Ring toss, things got scary.
On the show, Green lantern comes to batman and Robin for help with Sinestro.
He attempts to give Batman the ring, but the penguin gets between them through his own
scheming and suddenly has total power of the weapon.
Even Batman and Robin couldnÕt face him alone; the penguin didnÕt go down until Hal was
able to retrieve his ring back.
WhatÕs that, a fight Batman couldnÕt win?
Yep, and the penguin of all people.
Coming in at number 6 we got DAWNBREAKER BATMAN.
The Batman of earth 32 is a very different guy.
And not a nice one.
One of the villains in the new dark metal series, Dawnbreaker was introduced to us a
Bruce Wayne who witnessed his parentsÕ deaths and was given a power ring shortly after to
fill the void inside of him.
But things went awry when he overrode the ring and decided to use it for his murderous
purposes.
So maybe itÕs a good thing Bruce isnÕt given some superpowers, especially so early on.
It wouldÕve made it all too easy for him to turn into a serial killer!
Next up, at number 5 is SPACE GHOST.
Another lesser known intergalactic hero, hanna baberaÕs Space Ghost, found himself with
a green lantern ring after a mix up in green lantern space ghost special #1.
The two encounter each other and, after a big misunderstanding and an engagement of
combat, the two lose their weapons to xenophobic inhabitants of this strange land.
They eventually find them, and Spacey gets to wield the power ring for a little bit as
they switch weapons.
ItÕs like parking porsches as a valet.
You gotta take that baby for a spin around the block.
Up next at number 4, we have IRON LANTERN.
This one is cheating a little bit because this technically is a green lantern, albeit
an amalgamation, but itÕs kind of like seeing what it would be like if iron man had the
ring in his possession.
The characterÕs name is Harold Stark, and he designed a suit made of alien technology
that allowed him to create constructs at his will.
Very useful when taking on his main foe, Mandarinestro.
In the number 3 spot, WE HAVE SONYA BLADE.
Yes thatÕs right, a mortal kombat character becomes a green lantern!
A strange crossover but pretty cool nontheless.
She was the first female character in the game series, a US special forces member, and
a good candidate for such power.
Plus she already frequently wears green.
It was revealed in her game ending of mortal kombat vs DC universe that she came into contact
with a power ring, taking it into possession and becoming a green lantern.
Follow up story, anyone?
Coming in at number 2, is LEX LUTHOR.
Best way to get ahead of Superman?
Have a weapon that even the man of steel would struggle with.
A bit, anyway.
In the events of Super Friends ÒSecret origin of the super friends eisodeÓ, lex and a couple
other baddies go back in time to disrupt the justice league membersÕ origin stories.
Luthor himself takes the place of not Supes, but green lantern.
Meaning he finds himself with a new bit of a bling and a new lot of powers.
He savored it for as long as he couldÑa few moments.
And finally, in the number 1 spot WE GOT CAPTAIN KIRK.
The man to top this list is Star TrekÕs James kirk.
This crossover stuff is always so fun.
I mean, the two worlds are in space; no matter how huge it is, itÕs gotta collide some time
right?
Star Trek/ Green lantern stranger Worlds made Kirk and the ring no longer strangers, as
the captain faces his enemy khan, who is in possession of a red power ring.
Conveniently in the nick of time the guardians of the universe find a remaining green ring,
which they bestow on Kirk.
The day is saved!
