Razer was once a Red Lantern until he became a hybrid member of both the Red and Blue Lantern Corps.[1]
Physical appearance[]
Razer is a male member of humanoid species with a slim athletic build. He has bluish-gray skin, blue eyes, and white hair, with thin black lines lining his cheeks and chin and thick black lines around his eyes.
In his civilian attire, Razer wears a brown tunic, equipped with similarly colored gauntlets and boots, as well as what appears to be a skin-tight head gear.
As a Red Lantern, his uniform is red and black with armored components, possessing a red helmet with two prongs, spiked red shoulder armor connected with chest armor emblazoned with the Red Lantern symbol, red gauntlets, and red boots.
As a Blue Lantern, his uniform takes on a robe-like aesthetic, that is blue and black. He possesses a blue hood connected to a chest piece emblazoned with the Blue Lantern symbol, blue gauntlets and boots.
Upon simultaneously wielding both the Red and Blue power rings, Razer's uniform becomes a hybrid version of his Red and Blue Lantern uniforms. In color, the uniform is red and black on the right side, and blue and black on the left, with some zig-zagging at the middle. In shape, the legs and lower torso of the suit resemble his Blue Lantern uniform, while the upper torso and arms take a form similar to his Red Lantern attire, save the symbol emblazoned on his chest which is now a hybrid symbol of both the Red and Blue Lantern Corps. His hybrid suit has neither hood nor helmet, leaving his hair exposed.[1]
History[]
Early life[]
Razer was on Volkreg when a Red power ring came to him. At some point, he became acquainted with Hal Jordan and Kilowog.[1]
2016[]
Razer parted ways with his friend Kilowog, to go on a quest to find Aya. Shortly after, a Blue power ring came to him. He took the ring, glad to move past his rage, but would not let his Red ring go, for fear it would afflict someone else. The problem of the Red ring was soon solved when Razer had what he believed to be a chance encounter with Metron, who agreed to place the Red ring in his Inter-Dimensional Vault.[1]
2016-2020[]
Razer continued his quest for Aya, finding many promising clues only for them to lead to dead ends. Razer lost hope.[1]
2020[]
|
Razer headed for New Genesis to find Metron and retrieve his Red ring, but his Blue ring began to fail, sending out a distress signal. Kilowog and Tomar-Re responded. Kilowog embraced his old friend and teased him for flying without a fully charged ring, but Razer explained he had lost the hope needed to power it.[1]

Kilowog asked Razer what he had been doing in the four years since they last saw each other, which Razer then briefly explained.
Razer met with Metron, who readily agreed to give back the Red ring in exchange for the Blue one. While Metron retrieved the Red ring, Razer began to experience doubts, but once Metron returned committed to the exchange. He apologized for the inevitable screams of agony when he put the Red ring on, but then found it did not react at all. Metron then explained that he had in fact manipulated Razer into giving him the Red ring. Then, while studying the Red ring, he had secretly fed Razer false clues in his quest, to cause him to lose hope. As expected, Razer had returned to Metron to exchange rings, allowing the New God to study the Blue one as well. He told Razer this in hopes of angering him so that he might see the Red ring in action, and was not disappointed.
Razer chased Metron across the city, causing great collateral damage as his blasts were deflected by Metron's shield. Razer finally shattered Metron's shield, to Metron's surprise, and the resulting shockwave destroyed two statues, which fell on Forager. As the other Forager ran to the badly injured Forager, Razer realized his mistake, demanded the Blue ring back. Metron refused, electrocuting Razer. The Blue ring then shattered its containment case and went to Razer, turning him into a Blue and Red Lantern simultaneously. After pushing Metron through a boom tube, he used to the Blue ring to heal Forager. The Foragers thanked him, but Razer apologized for causing the injury in the first place and thanked them for reminding him how to hope. He then repaired the statues, also creating two new statues of the Foragers. Kilowog suggested Razer had the willpower for a Green power ring as well, and could one day get rainbow powers. Razer hugged him goodbye and asked him to say hello to Hal for him, before leaving to continue his quest. As he flew into deep space, Razer swore he would find Aya.[1]
Equipment[]
- Red power ring: The Red ring allows Razer to emit powerful burst of red energy from his hands and mouth, fueled by his rage. He can also make crude constructs to manipulate objects around him. It also gives him the power of flight.[1]
- Blue power ring: The Blue ring allows Razer to fly and grants a life support aura. It also has the ability to heal and make constructs powered by hope.[1]
- Combining the power of both rings gives Razer the ability to manipulate matter, allowing him to turn the rubble of the statues he destroyed into new statues.[1]
