Encyclopedia
Fatality is a fictional character
, a supervillain
in the DC Comics
universe
.
John Stewart
(in Cosmic Odyssey); he is unable to stop a bomb colored yellow, the Green Lantern's only weakness at the time. Fatality becomes her world's sole survivor. Learning of Xanshi's fate, and that a Green Lantern was responsible, she leaves Okaara and dedicates herself to becoming the deadliest warrior in all the universe. Remaining ignorant of Stewart's identity, she swears vengeance on all Green Lanterns.
When the Green Lantern Corps
is rendered powerless, Fatality views the last Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner
, as her ultimate prize. Their conflict takes them from Earth to a desolate planetoid, where during combat she discovers Stewart was to blame for Xanshi's destruction. Fatality seemingly perishes in the battle, though no body (save a severed arm) is recovered.
Fatality later appears on Earth, having acquired a prosthetic arm and a Qwardian yellow power ring. She again fights Kyle Rayner, who convinces her to remove the yellow ring. The Qwardians had booby trapped the ring, causing it to explosively teleport away after being removed. This destroyed Fatality's (remaining) arm.
After being imprisoned on Earth for a while, she was released by the villain Major Force
. She has since been seen working as a bounty hunter in the Vega System in the Green Lantern Corps: Recharge
mini-series.
She later became a member of the Earth-based Secret Society of Super Villains
. While in battle she loses an ear to Vandal Savage
's daughter, Scandal
.
She was seen among the new Injustice League
, with a new Sinestro Corps
yellow power ring. Later, she was captured by the Zamaron
s and experimented upon, and became the Star Sapphire of Sector 1313. Influenced by the violet light of love, she is now set on forgiving her nemesis: John Stewart. She finds him on the Okaara fighting Larfleeze
, also known as Agent Orange
, and his Orange Lantern Corps, isolating him with crystals and kissing him. She also encourages him to forgive himself as she's absolved herself of her survivor's guilt. Before departing for Zamaron, she tells him that she has forgiven him as well.
Fatality has many weapons with which she is an expert. Usually she employs an energy staff. Since losing her arms in a battle with Kyle Rayner, Fatality has acquired bionic arms that provide her with enhanced strength. She has a pair of jet boots that allow her to fly and a starship which she uses to traverse the universe in her attempts to destroy the Green Lantern Corps.
When she was a member of the Sinestro Corps
, she used a yellow power ring built on Qward
. The ring can create objects based on the wielder's thoughts. The power ring is fuelled by fear instead of willpower. Yellow power rings are weak against Blue Lantern rings. When in their presence, Qwardian rings are drained of their energy. Unlike the green power rings were, the yellow ring was never restricted from killing sentient beings.
Now serving as a member of the Star Sapphire Corps, she wear a violet power ring, powered by the emotion of love and built on the planet Zamaron
. The capabilities of Star Sapphires appear to be comparable to those of Green Lanterns. They allow the wearer to fly, generate a protective aura (which in the case of Star Sapphires creates distinct feathered and organic shapes), and create violet light constructs. The most notable creation of the violet rings are crystals that encase prisoners from other lantern corps on the Zamaron planet. Over time, the rings of the prisoners trapped in stasis within the crystals are infected with violet energy. After spending enough time inside, the prisoner will emerge as a Star Sapphire.
Other unique abilities of the Star Sapphires' rings include the ability to reveal the wearer's greatest love. They're also able to detect when a loving heart is embattled and in need of aid. By connecting the heart of the ring bearer to a true love in danger, the power of the ring can also act as a tether. Star Sapphires have not shown to be particularly vulnerable to the powers of other Corps, however as their powers come from one of the farthest two sides of the spectrum their rings have greater control over their personalities.
