Power Ring

Power Ring is the villainous Crime Syndicate counterpart to Green Lantern, hailing from Earth-Three — a mirror universe where morality is inverted and evil reigns supreme. He wields a power ring of sinister origin as a member of that world's super-powered criminal elite.

A creature of the Silver Age's most daring imaginative leap, Power Ring made a striking entrance in 1964's Justice League of America #29, conjured by the legendary team of Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky. This DC villain is one of comics' great dark-mirror figures — a denizen of a twisted alternate Earth where heroism is inverted and corruption reigns — rubbing shoulders across the decades with the likes of Ultraman, Owlman, and Johnny Quick. Turning up across landmark series including Crisis on Infinite Earths and Animal Man, Power Ring has proven surprisingly durable for a character with a relatively modest footprint, with nearly five decades of appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name. If you love the Silver Age's wild multiverse ambitions and the delicious concept of heroes reflected as monsters, Power Ring is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes DC's back catalogue so endlessly rewarding to explore.
