DC Comics: Sorting 10 Avengers Of The MCU Into Their Lantern Corps
The Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe more than earned the title of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Just as impressive and formidable are the Justice League of DC Comics, which includes the powers of various Green Lanterns.
If the Green Lantern Corps existed within the MCU, there is no doubt that some members of the Avengers would be worthy of such power. However, other Lantern Corps may have their say in the matter on which Avengers would receive specific colors.
If Tony Stark had not gone through his hardship in the first Iron Man, he might have been chosen by the Orange ring because of his selfish lifestyle. Fortunately for the MCU, Tony changed for the better. His actions and outlook change made it clear that he would be more than welcome in the Green Lantern Corps.
If Tony had a Green ring, it is possible that Tony might not even need the physical armor and would create a construct of it. An Iron Man Green Lantern armor would have the same capabilities, except using green energy blasts and weapons. The only caveat is that Tony might bristle under the authority and rules of the Corps.
The courage and fearlessness of Steve Rogers before and after the serum could have made him worthy of the Green Lantern Corps. However, if there is one thing that Captain America and his shield inspires, it is hope and the promise of tomorrow. Therefore, Steve would be chosen by the Blue Lantern Corps.
Steve's Lantern powers are limited only by his hope, and the MCU has shown that Steve always believed and hoped against all odds. According to the DC Comics canon, Blue is at its strongest when paired with Green and vice-versa. Steve was at his strongest when he was with the Avengers, and if Steve partnered with Tony and his green ring, they would be unstoppable, especially given their strong bond and relationship.
Because of the duality of monster and man, it would be tricky to pinpoint which Lantern represents the Hulk. The Hulk of old easily would be a Red Lantern, but Bruce Banner himself is a different story. In the past, Bruce has always been fearful for the safety of others, and this compassion would make Bruce a fitting member of the Indigo Tribe.
If Banner wore the Indigo ring as the Hulk, its power would be enough for Bruce to temper the Hulk and even attain the "Professor" form seen in Avengers: Endgame. If paired with Steve's Blue and Tony's Green, Hulk could even use their powers thanks to the ring's abilities.
Thor was one of the most developed Avengers throughout the Infinity Saga, but it all came to a crashing halt in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. For years, Thor expressed bitter resentment, shame, and guilt that never entirely left him even after making peace with all the deaths he was responsible for. As a result, the Ultraviolet Corps might have sought him out.
DC characters like Sinestro and John Stewart overcame the Ultraviolet corruption. Therefore, Thor would need to temper his repressed emotions to not fall under the influence of the Ultraviolet Light. It remains to be seen if Thor has moved on from the lowest points of his life once Thor: Love and Thunder is released.
If there is one emotion that defined the later years of Natasha Romanoff's life, it is love. In the Black Widow movie, she lost and regained love among family, and then in Endgame, she was crushed by the loss of her new family, the Avengers, and the fall of Hawkeye. With this firm, internalized love, she could be a candidate for the Star Sapphires.
In addition to the usual Lantern ring powers, Violet rings allow for teleportation, which would be handy for Nat in battle and give her her superpower. If she is with the other Avengers, the familial love she has will not only strengthen the ring, the romantic love she has for Bruce will boost her powers even further.
Clint Barton may be a down-to-earth "Arrow Guy," but he has proven that he is one of the best Avengers. It takes an enormous amount of skill, determination, and dedication to keep up with the craziness of the MCU. The Green Lantern Corps would be lucky to have somebody like Hawkeye.
Having a Green ring means that Clint would no longer be held back by the limitations of a bow, as he could create a construct of one. He could even make an unlimited supply of construct arrows, though the downside is that they are just plain arrows, as trick arrows require more technical skills beyond Lantern powers.
James Rhodes is a military man at heart with his distinguished record and professionalism. Even after the events of Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War with his injuries, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier showed that he never gave up his rank and affiliation with the military. As such, the duties and goals of the Green Lantern Corps would fit War Machine like a glove.
Like Tony with a Green ring, Rhodey may not even need the physical armor if he can create a construct. Rhodey's War Machine Green Lantern armor may be more powerful than Tony's because he could also replicate the firepower and physical weapons. Also, unlike Tony, Rhodey would have the discipline and responsibility to be a dutiful member of the Corps.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier are the two MCU works focusing on Sam Wilson. He is highly empathetic in both of these installments and understands those around him. If The Falcon were to become a member of the Indigo Tribe, he could turn his great compassion into a weapon.
If Sam had an Indigo ring, his most significant fight in the MCU could have gone differently. Unlike others, Sam sympathized with and understood the plights of Flag Smasher leader Karli Morgenthau. An Indigo ring has the power to make its enemies compassionate to those they wronged, and if Sam used it on Karli, she might have regained her conscience and surrendered peacefully.
As seen in WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff's actions in Westview have made her something to be afraid of. The full awakening of her powers and the birth of the Scarlet Witch was something even other magic users feared. With that sheer power and fear around her, the Sinestro Corps could be unstoppable.
Wanda might be able to resist the dark power of the Yellow ring, despite all that has happened to her. She can do that with her powers over Chaos Magic, but only if she faces and conquers her biggest fear. She might do just that when she returns in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Vision was born into the world as an entirely new kind of being. Unlike Ultron, he sees the beauty of life and regrets it if he is forced to kill. White Lantern rings, powered by life, are exceedingly rare, but Vision would be more than worthy of one.
The White ring is empowered so long as its bearer embraces life, and the logical Vision, fascinated by life, is more than up to the challenge. Those who mastered the White ring can also access every other Lantern color. Vision is already powerful, and he would be on a whole new level if he had the abilities of the entire Emotional Spectrum.
