[Ganon: Beast of Darkness]

I have recently started reading certain Green Lantern story lines (such as Blackest Night), and I was thinking about certain players in the Mega Man X universe. I asked myself one Sunday, "Which Lantern Corps would they best be suited to?" Here is what I came up with, but first I will explain the various Lantern Corps and what they represent:

A) Green Lantern Corps (Willpower)- they represent Willpower and the ability to overcome great fear or any emotion.

B) Yellow Lantern/Sinestro Corps (Fear)- They represent Fear and the ability to instill great terror.

C) Red Lantern Corps (Rage)- This Lantern Corps represents Rage.

D) Blue Lantern Corps (Hope)- This Lantern Corps is the representation of Hope.

E) Indigo Lantern Corps/Indigo Tribe (Compassion)- This Corps is the direct represntation of Compassion.

F) Violet Lantern Corps/Star Sapphires (Love)- This Lantern Corps represents the emotion of Love (and there are NO known male Star Sapphires; just women).

G) Orange Lantern "Corps" (Avarice)- The Orange Light represents the emotion of Avarice, which is (in my opinion) a fancy word for "greed". The reason I put Corps in quotation marks on this one is because due to the nature of the Orange Light, there just can not be more than one wielder of an Orange Lantern Power Ring at a time.

Now that I have said that, I will share with you all what i have came up with:


Mega Man X: The two Lantern Corps that X would be best suited to are the Indigo Tribe and the Blue Lantern Corps.
Justification: It has been said that X always fights each conflict with the hope that it will be the last, and also, he tries to show compassion to his enemies (such as his dialogue with Sigma in Mega Man X6). I will say that I do not know which one he would best be suited to.

Zero: The two Lantern Corps that would be best suited for Zero are the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro (Yellow Lantern) Corps.
Justification: Zero obviously has an iron-clad will, and the ability to overcome great fear, as evidenced by his willingness to take on any mission, no matter how hard it may be for him personally. Also, due to what Zero said to Dark Mantis in Mega Man X8 ("If you really knew me, you'd be shaking in your boots right about now, Maverick!") suggests that Zero's reputation has instilled fear into many a Maverick.

Axl- To be honest, I am not sure about Axl.

Sigma: I think that Sigma would be best suited for the Sinestro Corps because, as the primary antagonist of the X series, he does manage to instill fear in not only the Irregular Hunters, but possibly also the Humans of that world. Also, I think that he would be eligible for the Red Lantern Corps because of his rage at his constant defeats at the hands of X and Zero.

Iris: Iris would obviously be a perfect candidate for the Star Sapphires. Reason being is this: From what I can tell from reading Green Lantern comics, one is chosen to be a Star Sapphire because she has loved someone and that someone has betrayed her. The point I am trying to make is this: When Zero killed Colonel in Mega Man X4, Iris felt hurt and betrayed because she explicitly requested that Zero not fight, let alone kill, her brother.

I apologize if this was long winded or if I am discussing a topic that no one here cares about, but if you have other ideas about where these characters should be placed, I would like your idead. Thanks a bunch!

P.S. I have not been here in a long time because I have been busy with school. My advisor tells me that if I stay the current course, i can be done around this time next year (I attend a community college and I intend to transfer to a 4 year university).

Thank you for finding my new background.

X: Green Lantern, Alternatively, Blue Lantern. He is a beacon of hope, but also has the willpower to do what he has to in order to see his dream accomplished.

Zero: Green Lantern, Alternatively, Yellow Lantern. He is a warrior through and through, feared by his enemies as some sort of monster. But he is extremely devoted to protecting his friends and fighting for them.

Axl: Green Lantern definitely. He is a dedicated soldier who hates evil.

Vile: Yellow Lantern. he exists solely to destroy, and is a feared loose cannon. He doesnt have the rage to be a red lantern, he isnt angry or vengeful, just insane and revels in destruction.

Sigma: Yellow Lantern do I even need to explain myself.

BONUS:

Massimo: Blue Lantern. He is a folk hero, a beacon of hope for the resistance.

Cinnamon: Blue Lantern Shes based on healing, not fighting.

Gate: Red Lantern. hear me out here. He is based on revenge. He promised his colleagues he would get revenge on them. His heart contains much anger and rage.

Iris: Star Sapphire. previously explained above.

Dr. Weil: Fucking Necron thats what he is.

Model W: Black Lantern, not quite Necron anymore.

to be honest, many of the cast are stereotypically either Yellow or Green, with a few possible Blues, specifically the Megamen, since MegaMen are always represent hope and justice. (they are even color coded for your convenience) Only certain characters, such as perhaps Gate, are a bit different due to their more unique character natures. (such as Gate or Iris)

the bosses seem more inclined to have more varied lantern types.

What Flame said, but I would add Indigo to Cinnnamon. She was a very compassionate person and thus it would make sense that she was the healer of the group.

[Flame]

Indigo lanterns always seemed sort of sketchy to me, IMO. the compassion thing always seemed more like just a convenient ability that lets them use other corps' abilities. They themselves seem pretty emotionless actually. And if we look at the end of Blackest Night, they took Black Hand and forced him into the Indigo Corps, forcing him to feel compassion, basically controlling him against his will while in his mind he can do nothing to break free.

Not even the Indigo deputies in the climax seemed to have any particularly strong "compassion".


I think we can all agree in Wily being an Orange Lantern though, right? Right?

[Haru]

What About black Latern is their their only like 1 black lantern

[Flame]

Well, not many characters fall into the "Resurrected dead person being controlled by another entity"

the ring wears the body, dont forget that-

Weil is Necron outright, because he is based around reviving dead reploids and the like. As Model W he is just another Black lantern, because he is a resurrected person (sort of, if we get technical he never truly died,) being manipulated and used by master Albert.

maybe the paraloid bots in X2?

[Ganon: Beast of Darkness]

I actually own the Blackest Night collection, and I didn't see where the Indigo Tribe "forced" Black Hand into their corps.

Right now, I am posting this from my iPhone, so can a mod change the title of this thread to Mega Men: Which "Lantern Corps" would they be best suited for? The reason I ask is because every major character in the X series and beyond is actually sentient. I'm not including the robot cast from Mega Man Classic because they are not truly sentient robots, with the possible exception of Proto Man.

[Flame]

Blackest Night 8 I think




And this one I dont know which volume its from,


but clearly, William Hand was forced into the Indigo Corps and forcibly made compassionate.

but like I said, the indigos dont seem compassionate, they seem emotionless. They seem to have their own agenda, which apparently involves converting (forcibly) Sinestro to their ranks, "purging" him of the green energy of willpower.

@Flame

That's probably from Brightest Day.

Not quite right, willpower has different relations with the other emotions of the spectrum; hope, for example, boosts willpower. Green Lanterns are chosen for their ability to overcome fear only.

He does hate X by his own admission. Although fear does seem to be a better fit.

I'm surprised Flame, I figured you'd know the storyline enough to realize that Dr. Weil (and by extension, Biometal Model W) is all about fear.

I do believe it's the main Green Lantern title.
