Red Lantern Corps

The Red Lantern Corps is a fictional supervillain and sometimes anti-heroic organization appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The organization was created by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis, first appearing in Green Lantern (Volume 4) #25 (2008). It is one of the ten Lantern Corps that draw power from the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum. The original was the Green Lantern Corps, and the Red Lanterns have been enemies to the super-hero Green Lantern. Their power rings channel the emotion "rage," and the Red Lanterns are chosen from the angriest sentients in the universe. Their home planet is Ysmault, and their representative entity is the Butcher. Atrocitus is their leader.
