The most action we’ve seen from Earth 36’s Green Lantern, Flashlight, was in Grant Morrison’s The Multiversity event. I believe a handful of panels in that series have been his only appearances in the DC Universe. Instead of a power ring, he carries a power torch. I imagine it must be annoying to have to carry your weapon of choice instead of simply wearing it on a finger as a ring.
The torch contains a Kan-Du Hyper-Lens with seven power settings:
On his Earth, he’s a member of the Justice 9. According to the Guidebook:
The homeworld of Justice 9, where the alien Optiman fought bravely alongside such heroes as Flashlight, Cyberion, War-Woman, Mer-Man, Blackbird, Bowboy, Iron Knight, Red Racer and more. Optiman was apparently killed by the Earth-45 monster Superdoomsday.
In Earth 36’s Universe, the Guardians of the Universe equivalents are the Custodians of the Cosmos. One known custodian is Custodian Dextra.
The Kreepitrons are a known enemy of Flashlight.
The Green Lantern #10 is another issued packed to the gills with characters from the Multiverse and beyond. It establishes that a group of Green Lanterns from multiple Multiverses has been meeting in secret to monitor the Multiverse. They call themselves the Guardians of the Multiverse. Amusingly, they appear to have never bothered inviting Hal Jordan to a meeting. There’s a ton to chew on this issue, so let’s get to it!

Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp’s ninth issue of The Green Lantern features a cast of dozens. We’re introduced to a new cosmic superteam called “The United Planets of Superwatch,” Hal Jordan takes us on a recreational swords and sorcery adventure with his D&D group on the planet Atmoora, we get our first glance of the combined Green Lanterns of the Multiverse (or the “Guardians of the Multiverse”), and we finally see the fruits of Controller Mu and the Blackstars labor in the form of the Anti-Man.
Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp’s The Green Lantern issue 10 cracked open the Multiverse and introduced as to the “Guardians of the Multiverse.” This team is a collection of Green Lanterns from different Earths (perhaps more correctly Universes because they aren’t all from the Earth in their Universe). Thanks to the solicitation for issue 10 we know Morrison plans for 12 Lanterns to join the team.
(more…)Twelve parallel worlds! Twelve Green Lanterns! And one unstoppable menace! Hal Jordan joins the Green Lanterns of the Multiverse—including Bat-Lantern, Tangent Green Lantern and more—to save a dying Multiverse, defeat the relentless Anti-Man and embark upon their “Quest for the Cosmic Grail”! It’s another Morrison/Sharp science fantasy epic!
