What Happened to Kilowog (And What’s Happened Since)
The Green Lantern Corps ' old leadership , the Guardians of the Universe , abruptly disappeared after Dark Crisis on Infinite earth . Leadership of the establishment was hand to the United Planets , particularly Lord Premier Thaaros . Thaaros made wholesale changes to the Corps , including the quarantining of Sector 2814 ( to the dismay of all land - base Lanterns ) . Thaaros later had Hal and Kilowog see him to New Korugar to mould out a peace treaty with the Sinestro Corps . unluckily , the Sinestro Corps Central Power Battery exploded , killing Kilowog .
Kilowog ’s premature demise can be seen inGreen Lantern # 7 ( 2024 ) !
blame himself for what occur to Kilowog , Jordan retired from the Corps and returned to Earth . Hal was so saddened by what happen to Kilowog , he even created a lifelike construct of his friend to serve litigate his grief . What Jordan did n’t know , however , was that the someone to fault for Kilowog ’s destruction was in reality Thaaros . Thaaros had a huffy plan to reach the power of the mysterious root Lantern and to do that , Thaaros needed to gain total ascendancy of the Emotional Spectrum .
The Sinestro Corps was just the first to go down . As Thaaros began to reshape the corps to his liking , he had his Lanterns take out the Red Lanterns , the Blue Lanterns , the sole Orange Lantern , and even the Star Sapphires . Thaaros ’ influence over the Emotional Spectrum grew andhis United Planets Lanterns developed the power to transfer different lights . However , the harm to the Spectrum has stimulate it to react in unexpected ways , namely uprise new lights associated with new emotion like gloominess .
Why is Kilowog Back and What Does Him Being a Yellow Lantern Mean?
It ’s no secret that death is n’t a permanent matter in comic books . But to be fair , Kilowog ’s body was never show . The Sinestro Corps Central Power Battery exploded , but beyond that , all fans had was Jordan ’s intelligence that his friend was dead . And Hal very well could believe that . Assuming Kilowog survived the explosion in the first blank space , it would n’t be beyond the scheming and malevolent Thaaros to keep Kilowoghidden somewhere arcanum until Thaaros had a use for him .
The tangible question is why Kilowog is yellow at all .
Thaaros have control over Kilowog would also explicate why the long - endure Green Lantern is all of a sudden wear off yellow . Yes , the Emotional Spectrum is in flux right now , but Thaaros was the one who made it potential for his Lanterns to access different lights in the first space . The substantial question is why Kilowog is sensationalistic at all . Perhaps Thaaros feels it ’s a better semblance for him ormaybe being caught in the Sinestro Corps Central Power Battery had a permanent effect on Kilowog .
Whatever the reason behind Kilowog ’s palette swap , the true tragedy here is that Kilowog is going up against his old friends . Kilowog has known citizenry like Hal , John , and Kyle longer than most other Lanterns and he ’s always trust them with his biography . Now Kilowog seems to be working for the defective person whose ever been in charge of the Green Lantern Corps . It ’s one thing if Kilowog is under some variety of mind restraint , butthis change will be even more heartbreaking if working for Thaaros is Kilowog ’s choice .
Can the Green Lanterns Trust Kilowog Anymore?
The Green Lantern Corps has become a shadow of its former self . Nothing would show how abject the organization has fallen than Kilowog , one of the good Green Lanterns to ever wear out a Power Ring , suddenly became an hatchet man for an outright fascist like Thaaros . Maybe there ’s a chance that Thaaros is using Kilowog and using some form of control on him . But if not , then the Green Lanterns have no choice but to treat this once stalwartGreen Lanternlike the threat he is now .
