scans_dailySo as some might know their was some big news concerning Sinestro so I thought this'd be an interesting time to post an origin story of his written in 1999 (funnily enough at a time he was dead) in Secret Origins of the Supervillains.
Oddly enough I only really got it for the Encantadora tale but eh.
3 and 1/3 pages of a 10 page story.
His favorite thing to do was restore the ancient ruins. Something he had been doing for years and had planned to do for years after.
But as with tales of other Green Lanterns a crash occurred.
Prohl urged this man to come near him and bequeathed him his Green Lantern ring.
And just then the being who attacked and injured Prohl appeared. A Qwardian Thunderer.
The young fellow at first tried using the ring only to realize it was useless against the Qwardians yellow energy.
Love how the talk here completely negates the possibility of the whole parallax retcon but whatever...
The young man thought on his feet going into the ruins he so carefully fixed knowing what he'd have to do.
And so the fellow went back to see how Prohl was doing. In bad shape Prohl asked the young man to give him his ring back so that it could keep him alive until help arrived.
And so Sinestro was born. Allowing Prohl to die rather than giving him back his ring and we then get a general overview of Sinestro's rise to villainy expulsion from the Corps and so on...
Hope you all enjoyed. It was an interesting story.
Shame Geoff Johns couldn't remeber Sinestro was never Sinestro's ACTUAL name (as he's now Thaal Sinestro).
