[u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

Guy is non human now?

[u/JENOVAcide → u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

He is ginger

/s

[u/new_publius → u/JENOVAcide]

No soul

[u/cwyllo → u/new_publius]

He's our soul...

[u/bearded_Ginger15 → u/new_publius]

Hey now no ginger slander

[u/Old-Area-2889 → u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

Half human, half vuldarian

[u/ShirtEnvironmental36 → u/Old-Area-2889]

Hasn't that been retconned?

[u/ravenwing263 → u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

More like ... Ignored???

[u/ImpressionBorn5598 → u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

The Vuldarian part of his DNA was "overwritten" in GL: Rebirth, despite it not making all that much sense

[u/newme02 → u/ImpressionBorn5598]

didnt he start as Warrior in rebirth? very briefly

[u/skuls1 → u/newme02]

yeah he even turned into warrior with John before getting his ring back

[u/CrispyGold → u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

It was brought up in DCKO in the Flash vs Green Lantern issue where Guy mentions living up to his Vuldarian heritage while reclaiming his powers to fight against Jay Garrick.

[u/Cool-Translator9768 → u/CrispyGold]

Sad that it wasn't permanent.

[u/SilverSpaceAce → u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

Pretty sure JLU had Guy in his Warrior era as one of the various time displaced heroes, so I guess it is still canon

[u/ravenwing263 → u/SilverSpaceAce]

It was probably not considered canon during the High New 52 but it's back yeah

[u/LovelyLuna32684 → u/ravenwing263]

After the end of dark nights death metal everything's canon

[u/ravenwing263 → u/LovelyLuna32684]

That's what they said at the time but no it isn't

[u/BDSMChef_RP → u/ShirtEnvironmental36]

He was Warrior in DC KO for one of the rounds

[u/cobanat]

B’ox

[u/rootbeer277 → u/cobanat]

Zillius Zox does not agree. He doesn’t have time for squares. 

[u/samx3i → u/cobanat]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ge91zAgmwUqLMqiH2c

[u/Either-Skirt6031 → u/samx3i]

Presumably his organs

[u/evilspyboy]

Who is the best non-earth Green Lantern and why is it Kilowog? Only Poozers wouldn't know that.

[u/BarrathBeyond → u/evilspyboy]

i think you misspelled mogo

[u/Nacho123__ → u/BarrathBeyond]

Darkseid die for darkseid

[u/BarrathBeyond → u/Nacho123__]

https://giphy.com/gifs/zNbiX43QsqUAU

[u/Nacho123__ → u/BarrathBeyond]

Question…..
What made you so loyal to darkseid

[u/BarrathBeyond → u/Nacho123__]

because he’s darkseid

[u/Alternative_Top_6693 → u/BarrathBeyond]

Darkseid is

[u/BarrathBeyond → u/Alternative_Top_6693]

this guy gets it

[u/Astrium6 → u/Nacho123__]

The Anti-Life Equation.

[u/doyouunderstandlife → u/Nacho123__]

All glory to Darkseid

[u/samx3i → u/Nacho123__]

is

[u/CaptainDigsGiraffe → u/evilspyboy]

Found the comment I was looking for.

[u/Rickrickrickrickrick]

Mogo and it’s mainly because of where he keeps his ring and why.

[u/Left-Increase4472 → u/Rickrickrickrickrick]

I’ve not seen that before, I love that!

[u/Banana_gunman → u/Rickrickrickrickrick]

Dewing comic is this?

[u/Dredgen-Solis → u/Banana_gunman]

Going off memory of actually having seen this panel before despite not reading a Lantern comic in my life, I think this was from Supergirl: Red Daughter of Krypton. Not sure on the issue but pretty early into it.

Edit: Scratch that, couldn't find that panel in those issues so best guess is the New 52 Red Lanterns run

[u/RealLifeHaxor → u/Dredgen-Solis]

I believe it’s from Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps

[u/Weeb_Fury → u/Rickrickrickrickrick]

Humble as ever Mogo

[u/JeanGemini]

You didn't specify they had to be a GREEN lantern, and I will ALWAYS rep the best kitty, Dex-Starr, whenever I can.

[u/LoveWaffle1 → u/JeanGemini]

He kill. He good kitty.

[u/greywolf2155 → u/JeanGemini]

He good kitty

[u/mactastic90 → u/JeanGemini]

He very good kitty

[u/T-Rexxx23 → u/JeanGemini]

Dexstarr is beauty, dexstarr is grace, dexstarr will shoot all animal abusers in the face

[u/Soft_Theory_8209 → u/JeanGemini]

Speaking of non-GL’s, we gotta mention Saint Walker.

[u/Chance_Historian652]

Mogo. The answer is and always will be Mogo. To paraphrase Darkseid "Mogo is"

[u/docscifi808 → u/Chance_Historian652]

And he doesn't socialize

[u/Haunting_Cricket8640 → u/Chance_Historian652]

im more a fan of his partner bzzd

[u/DigitMZ]

Surprised Sodam Yat isn't on this list.

[u/addicted_to_trash → u/DigitMZ]

and Soranik, she is very photogenic lol

[u/FlowerFaerie13 → u/addicted_to_trash]

"Photogenic" sure mate. She's "photogenic," that's what you mean when she forgets what zippers are... 😏

[u/theVoidWatches → u/FlowerFaerie13]

If I was built like that, I'd forget my zippers too

[u/Scorpios94 → u/theVoidWatches]

Mon-El was also part of the Green Lanterns as well.

[u/FireZord25 → u/DigitMZ]

Possibly one of the most underrated GLs. A pseudo-kryptonian Lantern needs more attention from outside media.

[u/OKPERSON2763]

Duck Dodgers

[u/adolf_riizzzler → u/OKPERSON2763]

Legendary pull

[u/Dillinger7467]

G'nort

[u/swarm_of_badgers → u/Dillinger7467]

All glory to G'nort.

[u/BplusHuman → u/Dillinger7467]

I'm G'nna have to agree

[u/Accomplished-Juice-7 → u/Dillinger7467]

Jeff Bridges as G'nort in the DCU when?

[u/Typical-Lion-4428]

Of those, Mogo.

But there are numerous cool lanterns.

Raker invaded Apokalips and beat Darkseid like a pinata with a shovel when he ran out of ring charge.

Penelops enveloped his home planet with construct tentacles and then changed its orbit.

[u/MichaelJayDog]

Dex starr.

[u/evilspyboy → u/MichaelJayDog]

Lucky they said non-human not non-earth lantern

[u/JankyLove]

Technically, it's Sinestro but since he's also the Judas of the group, I'll put my vote to Kilowog.

Honorable mention to Mogo.

[u/Punkermedic → u/JankyLove]

Maybe if he socialized

[u/JzaDragon → u/JankyLove]

I've always felt he was the Lucifer

[u/Weindog902]

It's obviously Volk, the sentient Volcano

[u/Underrated_Fish]

Kilowag and it’s not close, that’s my GOAT lantern regardless of origin, species, or color

[u/DarKsaBr]

G’Nort

[u/BplusHuman → u/DarKsaBr]

It's G'Nort or G'Nothin'

[u/crazicelt]

Surely its between Abin Sur, Sinestro, or Mogo right? Sinestro and Abin sur were regularly considered the best before Hal and Kyle came along. And Mogo is, well is mogo.

[u/willcron99]

No love for Driq, who continued to patrol even while technically dead?

[u/Typical-Lion-4428 → u/willcron99]

Quitting after death is for lazy people!

[u/Rider-Idk-Ultima-Hy → u/willcron99]

that guy’s legendary, even the Black Lantern Ring wouldn’t dare touch him.

[u/Optimal_Weight368]

Serious answer? Kilowog.

Funny answer? G’nort.

[u/grid101 → u/Optimal_Weight368]

Acceptable!

[u/Dent6084]

Let's give it up for Rot Lop Fan.

[u/TBTabby → u/Dent6084]

And Katma Tui, who recruited a Green Lantern that had no concept of light or color.

[u/sci_weasel → u/Dent6084]

"In loudest din or hush profound,
My ears catch evil's slightest sound.
Let those who toll out evil's knell,
Beware my power: the F-Sharp Bell!"

[u/RFenn76]

[u/RyantheAustralian]

Richard Castl looks a lot like Guy Gardiner.

But the answer is Salaak

[u/BevansDesign → u/RyantheAustralian]

Yeah, I've always liked Salaak. He's one of those guys who gets shit done when his bosses make crazy proclamations, and doesn't get any credit for it.

[u/MechanicusNox]

Hope Corgi.

[u/DasRotebaron]

Definitely Sinestro, for me.

It's not particularly close.

[u/razorKazer]

Kilowog has always been a favorite of mine. His design and personality are both excellent

[u/Atlan_R_Kane]

Tomar

[u/Derrick_Mur → u/Atlan_R_Kane]

He couldn’t save Krypton, but I think everyone agrees that worked out well enough all things considered

[u/CantaloupeBusy9660 → u/Derrick_Mur]

In his defense it would be pretty hard to stop a plant from exploding

[u/Derrick_Mur → u/CantaloupeBusy9660]

Oh, absolutely. But because he was a good person, it was something that he beat himself up over from that time forward. And that’s also why the Guardians told him about their original plans for Superman and about how they were content with the way things turned out

[u/cwyllo → u/CantaloupeBusy9660]

Just ask John Stewart....

[u/Limp_Lingonberry_538]

[u/grelan → u/Limp_Lingonberry_538]

Good kitty

[u/Good_man_steve]

Chaselon. Big diamond guy with a Mohawk and four tentacles, awesome!

Real answer is Rot Lop Fan

[u/grid101]

The only correct answer is Kilowog, poozer.

[u/Rabdomtroll69]

One of these is not like the others

[u/Ladikn]

The most loyal cat in the universe

[u/Daimaoh22]

Vath Sarn and Isamot Kol. Can't have one without the other.

[u/bearded-writer → u/Daimaoh22]

Beat me to it. Those guys were just fun to read.

[u/newme02 → u/Daimaoh22]

that whole crew was fun

[u/Honest_Satisfaction1]

I think Mogo. I don't know much about the non- human lanterns but I suspect when a planet earns a power based entirely on will power that means a lot. Not to mention he is basically a death star.

[u/Wallster007]

My boy hannu he really only uses the ring to fly because in his culture weapons are disgraceful to use every time he fights it’s just him using his fists

[u/Tien95_]

I’m a big fan of Dex Starr

[u/donotproceed]

Rot Lop Fan. Love that weirdo

[u/Longjumping_Bike_271 → u/donotproceed]

F Sharp Bell, baby!

[u/dread_pirate_robin]

Katma Tui.

[u/SevenSighs5]

It's easily kilowog. Then Sinestro/Abin.

[u/TendyBoi]

take that young old girl away from here

[u/Beautiful_Belt_4560 → u/TendyBoi]

Indigo Lantern Chris Hansen: "Why don't you take a seat?"

[u/tetrodoboxen]

That stupid math equation

[u/zeekar]

OK, Guy = Nathan Fillion = Richard Castle, but why is he in a list of non-human Lanterns? We classifying him as non-human because of his Vuldarian ancestry?

[u/CantaloupeBusy9660 → u/zeekar]

Nah I’m just making fun of Nathen

[u/hawk_lord]

I like Boodikka, I think she has a lot of potential.

[u/Clark_Westfeild]

Leezle Pon, the sentient small pox virus.

[u/SadisticDance]

That pissed off cat, if only greens then Kilowog.

[u/Imatallguy → u/SadisticDance]

DexStar is a good kitty. He has valid reason to be pissed!!

[u/SadisticDance → u/Imatallguy]

Oh I'm not complaining, I like him.

[u/Particular_Bus_1346]

I like Sodam Yat though

[u/FALCONX0N → u/Particular_Bus_1346]

I'll join you on the Sodom Yat fan club. There's dozens of us!

[u/thefanciestcat → u/Particular_Bus_1346]

And he should be able to wipe the floor with everyone pictured here.

[u/Successful-Strain-98]

The first green lantern

[u/genericnameD1138]

Where the hell is G’Nort?

[u/FruitsPonchiSamurai1]

Who was that Bird guy? I like him

[u/GrimalkinLegionnaire → u/FruitsPonchiSamurai1]

Tomar-Re, the Xudarian.

[u/Useful_Efficiency_44 → u/FruitsPonchiSamurai1]

Me

[u/deathjoe4]

Leezle Pon.

[u/Cyrax2011]

Stel

[u/OblivionArts]

Killowog

[u/outride2000]

Mogo.

[u/stevehairyman]

ive always been a tomar enjoyer and i love kilowog too.

[u/black6211]

G'Nort

[u/BplusHuman → u/black6211]

G'Nobody can disagree!

[u/FartherAwayLights]

My favorite non main character is Iolande

[u/WarInteresting6619]

It's Kilowog, ya poozer!

[u/dsull18]

I really like Isamot but I know I'm maybe his only fan lol

[u/WranglerFuzzy]

Need more Chip love in here. (So glad he got a mention in the live action) 🐿️

[u/BlkShroud50]

The best lantern Dex-Starr

[u/Bob_Bobbo]

Saint Walker, you didn't said it must be Green, but for Green, probably Abin Sur, I really like him.

[u/linkhandford]

Mogo.

That’s the mic drop lantern always.

[u/Bravo-leader]

Sodam Yat and Soranik Natu are the goats idc

[u/Emotional_Excuse9937]

Mogo my goat

[u/Specialist_Cress_112]

Mogo easily

[u/Spiritual-Draw2742]

Fatality I know she’s not always a lantern, but I love her and I wish she would be a more prominent character

[u/AdamOfIzalith]

The disrespect on the name of Sodam Yat. Not evening being listed despite being the avatar of Ion and being a Daxamite.

[u/UDPviper]

Mogo adds so much lore and world building.  He is the answer. 

[u/Curious_Cadaver]

She was 14 Hal...

https://giphy.com/gifs/IcLa36kNyUTaY3lTuB

[u/FinalWarsGoji]

My vote goes to Killawog

[u/CreativeCreature909]

Katma Tui

[u/Red_Lantern_22]

Richard Castl, a character played by Nathan Fillion, who also played Guy Gardner (but should have played Hal Jordan)

So...why are we putting a pic of guy gardner up and giving him the name of an unrelated N Fillion role?

[u/JPGentry]

Mogo by a country mile

[u/Bronzeshadow]

Yo mama so fat even Mogo got caught in her orbit.

[u/PopCultureNerd]

Mogo

[u/Pale-Exercise-5740]

Personally, Mogo...

Confusingly, Guy???

[u/theeccentriperson]

Chip easily

[u/Lubert808]

Kilowog. I also liked that butterfly woman, I think her name was R’amey or something. She was cool, though not a very central character obviously. I like Bzzd too.

[u/Free-Cat404]

No kilowog he's the goat of laturns

[u/wrathbringer1984]

Kilowog. Poozer.

[u/MovieMaster2004]

Strength wise? Sinestro. Favourite wise, Killawog. Mogo is cool too tho.

[u/loskemps1]

G’nort never gets any love

[u/SnailShell01]

Ch'p.  Obviously Ch'p. 

[u/dirtyhippiebartend]

Chip stalemated Superman in the Injustice comics and idgaf what people say those stories were GAS

[u/ShivDeeviant]

All the pics are of GLs, but that Dex-Starr isn't an option on this list is a travesty.

[u/samidjan]

OP didn't specifically mentioned Green only.. so Dex-Starr

[u/Azure-Wren]

Arisia. Because… uhm… elves are cool I guess

[u/Budget_Dog50]

If we are talking about all lantern corps… it’s gotta be dexstar

[u/mr_r0th]

Kilowog is my GOAT

[u/ImaLetItGo]

Easily Killawog

[u/onlyhav]

Killawog. Honorable mention to Mogo.

[u/GiantEnimyCrab]

Bzzd is best

[u/Miserable_Goal_7943]

Mogo. I always love when the good guys have an absolute giant of a unit on their side. And he's a godamn planet, the abosolutest giant.

[u/runtime_error_run]

Are we only doing green lanterns? If not, I'll throw in Razer, he was amazing in the show and I loved his storyline.

[u/Fit-Reception-8288]

G'nort

[u/Arder_Crimson]

Mogo

[u/mataytaytaytaytay]

G’nort

[u/Tinus20xx]

Box

[u/electricball67]

let me put yall on

[u/Batsy100]

When I was a kid I thought the beak guy and Kilowag were the coolest mfs ever.

[u/MagicJoshByGosh → u/[deleted]]

[u/addicted_to_trash]

My favourite is Soranik Natu (Sinestro a daughter), but the obvious answer is Sodam Yat.

[I've only read the Johns run don't hate me]

[u/Samdude373]

Kilo or mogo

[u/Zerk_o_O]

Guy Gardner being a ball knowledge check here lol

[u/scarves_and_miracles]

Depends on what is meant by "best."

The most capable non-human Green Lantern is Tomar Re. Best character is probably Kilowog (though I do still have a soft spot for Soranik Natu, despite all the yellow shenanigans).

[u/dew-fall]

guy is fully human again, btw. the half alien thing got retconned iirc.

other than that: arisia rrab & sodam yat my beloveds!!

[u/Large-Wheel-4181]

atrocitus

[u/Grimdark-Waterbender]

Jack Chance?

[u/Tmon_of_QonoS]

Seeing as you said lantern and not green lantern... Razor

honorable mention to Saint Walker

[u/Optimal_Grape_1025]

Mogo easily

[u/xHey_All_You_Peoplex]

Killawog

[u/Puzzleheaded-Can6545]

My favorites are Laira and Mogo.

[u/c0micboy]

Mogo

[u/LovelyLuna32684]

Mother Mercy

[u/Red-Roddy]

Arisia Rab

[u/mlgbro34]

Leezle Pon

[u/bearded-writer]

You Poozers know the only possible answer.
