His mind is probably racing, and things are being created on a whim and without his control. Kyle is distressed and in a state of panic. To be fair, the design works for what it is. The high boots and glowing Corps insignia don’t help. Black with silver accoutrements, the studded arm bands, and pointed shoulder pads look right out of a bad ‘90s comic. As Kyle became increasingly distressed, the Rings placed themselves on his fingers and took the form of this hybrid appearance. It’s a look still unbecoming of Kyle, but better than what the other Hybrid Lantern design. Upon arriving, Kyle seeks out his mentor Ganthet but is distraught to discover the Guardians have removed Ganthet’s emotions and seemingly destroyed his personality. In “Green Lantern: New Guardians” #2, Kyle flees to Oa after rings from each Corps are drawn to him like magnets. Kyle’s hybrid White Lantern looks are pretty bad, but fortunately, he only has two of them. In that respect, it works, but for Kyle Rayner, it’s just not a good look. When you consider the age and disposition of the six entities, it kind of makes sense that this uniform has a bit of a knock-off “ New Gods” vibe to it. Kyle didn’t design the suit, the entities did. To be fair, this one deserves a pass considering the circumstances. The end result was this absolutely horrendous, gaudy number that looks it fell out of a first-year art student’s sketchbook. Though the entities were weakened by the absence of Parallax (who had been absorbed by Sinestro during “Wrath of the First Lantern”) they possessed Kyle and took over his body. Hal readied to lead the remaining Corps members to Ysmault to enlist the Red Lantern Corps, but before they could move, Kyle sensed the six Entities approaching. However, after a single panel in a barely formed rendition of the new uniform, Kyle's mastery of the spectrum took over and he donned his White Lantern uniform for the first time.ĭuring the event “Lights Out,” Kyle (as the White Lantern) and Carol Farris (Star Sapphire) found themselves helping the Green Lantern Corps just as Relic blew up Oa and the Central Power Battery. The suit appeared similar to his typical Lantern uniform, albeit with a thick face mask with a crown shape. Kyle lay dying but proclaimed he forgave Ganthet for his transgressions, allowing him to tap into the Star Sapphire’s spectrum of Love. In a move of desperation, Ganthet caught the off-guard Kyle from behind and fired a beam of energy clear through his heart. In “New Guardians” #16, Kyle was forced to fight his mentor Ganthet with his newfound command of the emotional spectrum but was coming up short. By a mere technicality, Kyle’s Star Sapphire uniform makes this list as he wore it for a single panel. After testing Saysoran, Kyle was satisfied and become one with The Source while leaving his White Lantern Ring to Saysoran.As mentioned in the intro, we omitted Kyle’s updated Blue Lantern uniform, as well as his Orange and Indigo Lantern uniforms from “Green Lantern: New Guardians” #0 because he never really wore them, only seeing them as a premonition delivered by the Star Sapphire. Kyle's search for his successor come in the form of a rebellious young woman named Saysoran, who successfully resisted Kyle's brainwashing. But Kyle soon realized the errors of his actions and learning that he will become one with The Source, he was unable to see beyond his own perspective and chose to find a worthy successor who will undo what he has done. Kyle's extremist agenda was violently turned against by his former allies, the Templar Guardians and Carol Ferris, whom he eventually killed them but sparing Guardian Yekop. Driven mad by this revelation, Kyle became obsessed to making the universe 'pure' by brainwashing every being in the known universe into obedient followers of the White Light. Five years into the future, White Lantern Kyle Rayner was imbued with the Life Equation which made him to see the truth of the universe.
