[QUOTE="Torm, post: 3149201, member: 12706"] The ring was made by the Weaponmakers of Qward, whom, pre-Crisis, were the anti-matter universe's parallel of the Guardians of Oa. Post-Crisis, I'm not really sure what their deal is, but they apparently still exist somehow and made that ring, so presumably they could make more. Also in the Silver Age, a Bizarro Justice League was created by some accident or act of an evil nemesis. I can't remember. Regardless, one of the members was the Man of [I]All Fears[/I], Yellow Lantern. Unfortunately for him (or maybe him am fortunate ;) ), his ring ran out of power after 24 hours, and no counterpart [I]lantern[/I] existed. (If I recall correctly - this is very dim in my memory - he DID manage to charge it off of a regular GL lantern and get an additional 24hrs in a later story.) Star Sapphire wields pink energy through a sapphire either in her tiara or at the end of a rod, depending on which version of her and when. The stone, and the pink energy, was bestowed on her by the Zamarons - the long estranged females of the nearly-immortal Oan race. Obsidian, the son of the Golden Age GL and Posion Ivy, was like his sister Jade born with light-related powers inherent within. Unlike Jade, whose powers are virtually a built-in GL ring, his powers involved the manipulation of [I]shadow[/I] in a somewhat similar fashion. In my personal fan-fiction stories, in which I attempted to create a parallel to DC Comics not completely screwed up by continuity inconsistencies, Crimson was the son of slaves freed in the Civil War who gained a red ring and a mysterious flame in a crystal (actually a highly advanced alien power cell) in a manner that was something of a cross up of the origins of Alan Scott and Hal Jordan. In addition to giving him powers similar to a GL, it extended his lifespan a great deal - to the extent that he fought in Team Liberty in both WWI and WWII. Ultimately, though, age caught up with him a bit, and he passed it to his daughter, Ruby Tuesday, in the late 50s. Oh, and I'd like to ditto those who have said, "It's yo thing. Do whatchawannado." :) [/QUOTE]
