Thaal Sinestro. He was a good Green Lantern fighter, at least at this time.
This man, with the volcanic rock-like crimson skin, came from the planet Koruga in sector 1417 of the universe and was once friends with Abin Sur, who had fallen to Earth.
If there were no Flashpoint event, Hal Jordan, the pilot, would get Abin Sur's Green Lantern ring and join the Green Lantern Corps.
At the same time, Sinestro would be his mentor.
As we all know, superheroes would always need a nemesis or two.
The complicated relationship between Sinestro and Hal Jordan was like Batman and the Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor...
They were always intertwined, keeping a delicate balance.
Both of them were former teacher and student, teammates who fought side by side, and even enemies facing each other.
He had skepticism about the Guardians of the Universe and the pursuit of absolute power.
Sinestro, unsurprisingly, betrayed the Lantern Corps and went to the opposite camp.
After that, he was expelled and exiled to the Antimatter Universe.
He then got the Yellow Lantern Ring, which represented the power of fear, and built his own army ...
Of course, the above things hadn't happened yet.
Even Sinestro himself would never have thought that one day he would become the greatest enemy of the Green Lantern Corps.
At this time, he was still a Green Lantern soldier who wanted to protect the universe and redeem his regrets.
"I'm here for the Flash!"
The power of will glowed and enveloped the hotel room. Sinestro made his intentions clear.
Inspired by a prophecy, he needed the power of the Flash to help him achieve his goal.
"The Flash?"
Such an opening line aroused the interest of the Reverse-Flash.
While he continued to maintain his Speed Force, to conveniently get rid of this alien with a high-speed vibrating slash at any time; pretending to be hesitant, he curiously asked, "You mean..."
"Barry Allen, the culprit that caused all this."
Sinestro said affirmatively.
"I was alerted to the Flashpoint by the Guardians of the Universe."
"There's a man from Earth who has changed history and influenced the future ... not only this world but the whole universe."
"For me, this is both a disaster and an opportunity."
The Reverse-Flash's eyelid jumped. 'This alien seems to know a lot.'
He thought that he was the only one who saw through the essence of the world and knew the answer.
But now, it seemed that this wasn't the case.
"Eobard Thawne, you are a man of the future 25th century and the enemy of the Flash."
Sinestro obviously came prepared and had already known the cause and effect of the Flashpoint incident.
"I think you can help -- in dealing with the Flash."
Reverse-Flash was even more surprised and turned to reveal a smile.
'Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.'
'Even the Lantern Corps is involved.'
'Against the Flash?'
'What exactly does this alien want to do?'
"First of all, why should I help you, Mr Sinestro?"
The Reverse-Flash asked with a smile, holding his arms around his chest.
He wasn't a selfless superhero. How could he do good deeds without any interest?
"The reason why you came to Flashpoint time and space; isn't it just to get rid of the Flash, an old enemy?"
Sinestro was full of self-confidence. He walked up to Reverse-Flash, seemingly unafraid that his opponent would strike unexpectedly.
"I can help you, Mr Thawne."
Reverse-Flash threw out a contemptuous look, not even bothering to say more.
'I need someone else's help to deal with the Flash?'
'Everything is under my control.'
'Barry Allen, who has lost Speed Force, can't even defend himself in front of me.'
'The reason why I didn't do it was because I wanted to enjoy the remorseful expression on his face when he learns the truth.'
"You should update your news, Mr Thawne."
Sinestro seemed to guess Reverse-Flash's reaction as he held out the Green Lantern ring on his right hand.
The power of will transformed into rays of light, outlining a tall figure.
"This man, I don't know his identity for the time being. I can only say that he is a survivor of Krypton, just like Superman of the Justice League."
"In addition, Thomas Wayne, Batman from this Flashpoint world, and Kal-El, who was imprisoned by the military ... they are all gathered around the Flash."
"Tell me, Mr Thawne, what are you going to do against Batman and two ... Supermans?"
The green light was like a holographic projection that projected the teammates found by the Flash in front of the Reverse-Flash.
The Reverse-Flash, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly became silent.
'What's going on?'
'Why are there two Supermans?'
'This shouldn't be!'
"How about it? Want to cooperate now?"
Sinestro asked again.
"What's your purpose, Mr Sinestro? Why are you doing this to Barry Allen? Isn't the Green Lantern Corps supposed to be on the side of justice?"
Reverse-Flash was puzzled. Although he had never dealt with the Green Lantern Corps, he had heard the names of the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardian of the Universe.
In any case, these people should be in the same camp with the superheroes.
"For a better world and a better future."
Sinestro smiled.
...
...
"For a better world and a better future ... Abin Sur, join me."
A long time ago, Sinestro faced his former best friend and said these words.
"Atrocitus, the guy who could predict with blood, told a story."
"This timeline shouldn't have existed. It was rewritten and distorted by a guy named 'Flash'."
"If everything is true, then I can make the Flash change the world the way we want it to be, and I can fix it all."
Sinestro told Abin Sur his whole plan.
From Atrocitus's mouth, he learned about the occurrence of the Flashpoint and the existence of the Flash.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Abin Sur's expression seemed cold. He was a Green Light soldier who placed high regard on life. He didn't listen to Sinestro's crazy thoughts at all.
"Catch the Flash, get his power, then reshape the world and the universe."
Sinestro said with excitement.
"And the price? You wouldn't have come to me for no reason, and you wouldn't have been so frank as to speak of such disgustingly vile ideas."
Abin Sur asked.
"This is where I have to say sorry. Atrocitus told me that ... as long as you live, I will fail."
Sinestro's eyelids were lowered. He didn't appear to want to meet his friend's eyes and take the glare.
"I don't want to do this, but as long as the Flash's power is mine, then it's as if it never happened, and I'll bring you back again and bring Arin Sur back too!"
Arin Sur was his wife and Abin Sur's sister.
They weren't only friends, but also relatives.
"Shut up! She'll be ashamed of you, Sinestro!"
Abin Sur didn't want to listen anymore. The Green Lantern Ring erupted with intense light, shaping a heavy war hammer.
"I can't let you satisfy your own selfish desires and crazy ideas at the expense of hurting innocent people."
Sinestro seemed to expect it. He sighed, shook his head and said, "That's a pity."
Then, the Green Lantern ring he was wearing....
Also erupted with the power of will and turned into two twin swords.
The two men skillfully manipulated the Lantern Rings and created various combat weapons.
However, Abin Sur, the greatest Green Lantern, was no match for Sinestro.
After dozens of rounds of fierce struggle, his right hand was cut off, and the Lantern Ring he wore lost its light.
"You have defied the will of the Guardians of the Universe, who sent you to Earth in search of the spirit of the White Lantern entity, but you wanted to save Earth and make it a better place."
Sinestro kicked Abin Sur in the chest, knocking him to the ground, and then spoke in a victorious tone, "The Guardians of the Universe severed the connection between your Lantern Ring and the Central Power Battery, and that's why you lost to me, isn't it?"
"I will let you see for yourself how I reshape the order of the universe and rewrite the end of this collapse."
The defeated Abin Sur smiled coldly and used the last bit of strength in his body to evoke the dull light of the Lantern Ring.
Emerald green light, like water waves, prevented Sinestro from taking the ring.
The Green Lantern Ring, representing Sector 2814's guardians, suddenly flew out and quickly flew high into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
"I won't let you succeed, Sinestro. The ring will find a suitable heir. He will stop your delusions!"
Abin Sur did all this and fell to the ground as if he was drained.
What greeted him was a deadly shot of an energy ray.
...
...
Boom!
A flash of green light, like a bullet through the glass of the apartment, landed in front of Luke.
'I was actually chosen by the Power of Will from the Emotional Spectrum?'
He sat on the couch with a skeptical look on his face.
Choosing the Flash, Batman, or Kal-El, who was sleeping in the guest room, seemed to be a more believable choice than choosing him.
'Did something go wrong?'
Luke looked at the ring with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
