Red Lantern

Red Lantern is a villain from the animated-universe tie-in comic, operating within the rage-fueled Red Lantern Corps alongside characters like Atrocitus and Razer. A wielder of red light powered by rage, this character debuted in the comic adaptation of Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

Bursting onto the scene in 2012 courtesy of the creative duo Art Baltazar and Franco, Red Lantern is a Modern Age DC creation tied to the vibrant world of Green Lantern: The Animated Series — a corner of the DC universe populated by the likes of Atrocitus, Razer, and Zilius Zox. With a compact but colorful footprint across titles including Batman/Superman Annual and Dial H, this character represents the kind of animated-universe gem that dedicated collectors love to track down. Short-lived but genuinely distinctive, Red Lantern is a fascinating artifact of early 2010s DC storytelling worth a closer look for anyone who loves the outer reaches of the Green Lantern mythos.
