The Blue Lantern
Corps

Biography:

When Ganthet and Sayd were exiled because of the fact that they displayed too much emotion (even forming an emotional attachment to one another) they set out to form their own Corps to defend against the prophecy of the Blackest Night, and to be a beacon of hope for the times to come.

At some point, Ganthet and Sayd recruited Saint Walker into the Corps. When the Green Lantern Corps were escorting Sinestro to his home planet for execution, they were ambushed by the Red Lanterns. The Red Lanterns killed many, and escaped with Sinestro. Near the end of the battle, Hal Jordan of the Green Lanterns was met by Saint Walker, who gave him a boost in willpower and enhanced his ring well beyond 200% capacity.

Saint Walker brought Hal Jordan to Odym, where they were told by Ganthet and Sayd of their mission: to rescue Sinestro from the Red Lanterns. On their way to Ysmault, Hal Jordan and Blue Lanterns Saint Walker and Warth come upon a dying star, where they display the power of hope to restore the star to its early years. After this, they reveal to Hal Jordan that Ganthet wants to recruit him, and have him lead the Blue Lanterns.

Oath:

"In fearful day,
In raging night,
With strong hearts full of light,
Our souls ignite,
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars, for Hope burns bright!"

Blue Lantern Powers:

Unlike other Corps, the Blue Lanterns have very different abilities. They have the ability to travel easily through space, possibly generate force fields and beams of light. But, unlike the other Corps, they can inspire hope and actually enhance the power of a member of the Green Lantern Corps (Hal Jordan) by giving him hope, thereby enhancing his willpower, enhancing it to levels that are beyond the ring's power. It is unknown, however, if this works on any Corps, since the Red Lanterns use rage to give them power, in which case hope would lessen their power.

They have even shown the ability to reignite a dying star and give it new power, actually reversing the age.

Unlike most (or all) other Corps, Blue Lanterns do not need to recharge their rings. Instead, they are powered by beings who are given hope. The more people with hope, the more energy is restored.

Members:

Recruiting in the Blue Lantern Corps is a very careful and long process. A Blue Lantern is hand picked, brought to Odym, and are shown what would happen if they were to accept. This process takes days. Then, once that Lantern is trained, he or she seeks another person to be the Lantern for another sector.
