A Green power ring.

A Green power ring.

Green power rings are both the principle equipment and weapons of members of the Green Lantern Corps that grant their wielders incredible abilities by harnessing willpower.[1]

Capabilities[]

  • Artificial intelligence: A ring's AI chooses its wearer based on the person's love of justice and strength of willpower.[1][2] The AI has an audible voice which may announce certain functions, and can be muted.[3] The ring speaks with the voice of its wearer.[3][4]
    • Translation: The ring's artificial intelligence can translate various languages for the user and (via earpiece constructs) and their companions, including Thanagarian. The ring may refuse to translate some profanity, however.[5]
    • Tactical analysis: The ring's artificial intelligence is capable of providing real-time information and advice on situations affecting the user, and may do so unprompted when the ring detects significant danger.[4]
    • Database[6]
  • Green Energy Manipulation: The green power ring serves as a conduit for the green energy of willpower.[1]
    • Flight: The ring grants the user the ability to fly.[7]
    • Force field projection: The ring can provide a force field around the user as a shield, capable of withstanding significant punishment before cracking and shattering. Maintenance of the force field’s integrity requires sufficient willpower on part of the ring’s user.[7][8][4]
      • Life support aura: The shield maintains a breathable atmosphere around the user, allowing them to operate in the vacuum of space.[8] Shield bubbles can be projected around allies to similarly protect them in space.[5]
    • Construct creation: The ring allows the user to create solid objects out of green energy. Such objects include a platform,[7] crane[9] or spacecraft.[10] The strength of constructs made by the ring are dependent on the user's level of willpower.[4]
    • Warp field generation: The ring can create a warp field allowing its user and anything else in the field to move through subspace, enabling faster-than-light travel. The field can be big enough to encompass a Bio-Ship.[11] A Lantern is comparable in speed to the Javelin, which can cross the galaxy in around two days.[12][13]
  • Sensors: The ring is equipped with sensors capable of detecting an ion trail left by a space vessel,[5] or the effects of a Source energy cascade on an atmosphere.[4] Rings can also perform more intensive scans, such as to identify an individual.[6]
  • Communications: The rings are capable of reading distress signals.[1]
  • Bio-waste Recycling: The ring is capable of automatically recycling bio-waste generated by its wearer.[3]

Rings must be periodically recharged to maintain power.[1]

Selection of wearer[]

A power ring's AI selects its wear based on the subject's love of justice and ability to overcome fear with willpower.[1] When a Green Lantern dies, the ring immediately leaves the wearer and flies off in search of a new one. Once found, it slides onto the subject's finger and creates a hologram of the previous wearer to announce the ring's intention and lead the new Lantern in reciting the Green Lantern Corps' Oath.[4]

Trivia[]

  • Uniforms created by the Ring will remain if a Lantern dies on duty, but will vanish at the discretion of the user or upon removal of the ring.
  • The AI of the Rings isnt infallible. When determining a species it scans, it will only pick up the planet one was born on; which is why Lor Zod was misidentified as a Daxamite, as that was his birth planet.
