Why would comicstorian be in an already made corps(blue), or be an already made villain(Sinestro), if Rob has his own, original corps and name? C'mon guys.... Also, I want a ring too.
Damn...I've been missing Rob and the rob corp....phone got fucked in the flood, and i just got this on yesterday...trying to play catch up. Man, rob in two weeks you drop twice as much content in two weeks that most people do in a month. Keep it going! ! Rob Corp Rules!!!
what about sorrow there is still no ring for sorrow which gray would be an appropriate color and would be the one emotion that makes volthoom think and finally come to his real senses
There is a reason why grey is not a lantern color, because there technically already is one from another universe "The Grey" from Earth 2 of which it's only known member is Solomon Grundy. Also Rob the Earth 2 lantern corps would be an amazing video, most of them are earthly forces.
@ A pre-Flashpoint GL event actually explained the whole "willpower" thing...somewhat. Apparently, the name of which emotions are represented by each color is altered every so often, or at least re-named to a synonym. Green used to represent "Courage", which technically is an emotion. This actually explains why the Green Lanterns are told upon recruitment "You have the ability to overcome great fear", since that is literally what Courage is.
Guide of the Three Rings for Rookies: Phantom Ring: The weakest of the three rings allows any person to pick up the ring & tap into the emotional spectrum. The draw back being you can only tap into one emotion at a time along with directly being attached to the user's emotions at the moment. White Lantern Ring: The second strongest being an amalgamation of the emotions of the spectrum. The user can only obtain the ring/power by mastering all the emotions of the spectrum. The draw back being this power is charged by the emotional spectrum meaning the power comes from a secondary source. The Ring of Volthoom: The true potential or next step of the white latern. Where the user is not taking power from a secondary sorce, but rather taking from the original source you use the emotional spectrum as a whole. This means that the person rather than having to master the emotional spectrum can just tap into the full emotional in it's entirety. This is basically the difference between Jay Garrick running really fast compared to Wally West tapping into the speed force. One scratches the surface of the speed force, and the other is the speed force
ArcGIS Is Fun I think White Lantern Kyle Rayner could've stood up to him before he broke up the Life Equation and thereby gave up the majority of his power. With the complete Life Equation, he was a force to be reckoned with.
ArcGIS Is Fun Honestly I have no concept of Volthoom's power, this is the only video I've seen about him and I've been trying to get it to load on my android for like an hour, so I haven't gotten to watch it yet. Haven't read any Green Lantern comics since Sinestro's Law, either.
Volthoom cant die, he is now the entity of life. He still has the heart in his chest, he just doesn't have a ring to channel his power, which is why he wanted the Phantom ring. His ability when he had a ring could change reality and history. So he would be on par with Dr. Manhattan, in my opinion.
so Volthoom ring and White Lantern... White Lanterns are the cashier at McDonald's that can take any order...Volthoom is the McDonald's itself?? is that correct??
Comics explained you are definitely getting a like. You take so much time and effort I to the videos. I guarantee you will explode if you keep this work up!
Would love to see the Ares limited run covered it's my favorite run took me a little while to get the set, more obscure run would be awesome to see it covered
The travel lantern wasn't placed in Volthoom, or else he wouldn't need Jessica to go back to his universe. The guardian's put the Great Heart in Volthooms chest, a separate lantern that contains the emotions of the guardian's, giving Volthoom a mainline to all the emotional spectrum
more Gambit videos!! I like most of your videos and love the Gambit cover but I want more Gambit and I think I speak for many more fans, so please more gambit videos!!
Your logic of First Lantern Ring vs. White Lantern Ring has been the same logic I've been using for Barry Allen vs. Wally West for years. Barry IS the Speed Force and Wally is just main lining it.
my head cannon used to be that Black Lantern is also a part of the spectrum so Volthoom actually can tap into black as well and that's how white lantern differ from him
But can't he control sand...like all of sand? There isn't an alternate universe where he takes over the planet by controlling all the world's sand or something?
Pleaseeee do a video explains who would win in a fight The Joker vs The Purple Man. Like could The Purple Man really control The Joker even tho he's literally insane
History of Video Games But see the Purple Man's powers work over someone that can be rationalized into doing what he wants them to do. The Joker has no rationalization due to the chemicals he was immersed in, literally turning him "super insane". So it could be argued that The Purple Man's sole power wouldn't be able to affect the Joker. I think of it as if The Purple Man trying to control Deadpool.
Then it gets you thinking Whose more insane The Joker or Deadpool. Deadpool is messed up yeah but it's more of childhood/cancer and maybe the experiments he was in?? I'm not a comic book heavy reader so I'm only going off of what I've personally read or studied and so if Joker is seen as "uncontrolled chaos" then how can The Purple Man control him?? And I would think The Joker is more insane due to cutting his face off, stripping Barb naked, the thing with Gordon in the amusement park, trying Superman into killing his pregnant wife, nuking Metropolis, beating Jason Todd to death (and that's just some of it) yet Deadpool (the worse of the worse that I could find that would be comparable to Jokers) was when he held a blind woman, wouldn't let her leave, then put her in "the box" after she pissed him off😂🤦🏽♂️ smh this is why I hope @comicsexplained could do a video over it
JybeCameron !! From what I understand of Purple man is that he uses pheromones to manipulate people in that regard his powers are similar to Poison Ivy who uses her pheromones to manipulate men. Now I could be wrong but I don't think ivy has be able too control the Joker. So unless Purple man does something drastic like brain washed the Hulk then Joker has him beat.
HarleyxJoker FOREVER totally agree, so then when you look at it could poison ivy then control the Purple Man or would heir abilities nullify each other out? Lol this just opens so many doors with Joker and The Purple Man because you really have to think of how far jokers insanity goes, as well as how powerful The Purple Man's influence is
QUESTION. Was there ever a mention in GL comics of the Emotional Spectrum (ES) having universal limits and boundaries? This video got me thinking of how the ES ran out in the previous universe, it died, then we get the Big Bang that created the modern DCU. And that got me thinking of Marvel's Infinity Gems/Gauntlet, and how it's power is limited within its universe of origin (unrelated, but bear with me). So I'm thinking here, if Volthoom has this ring, and it taps into the ES, is it the ES of the main DCU, or is it the ES of his own universe? Since the ES is a universal thing, not multiversal, and effectively ends with the universe it comes from, then how would that affect Volthoom's ring as to which universe's ES it's tapping into???
Probably the main universe, given that the ring was created by the Guardians putting their emotions into the Great Heart and his power source was the Great Heart itself. That means that if he uses enough emotional energy, he will destroy the main universe, not his original universe.
excelent... what happen to does other 7 rings...kyle made...when he was white lanters... remember...I remember the story...he did it... because it was to much...for him...😎😎😎
Lockjaw the Spectre is not overrated. that's fine if you don't like him I don't really give two shits about your little opinion so big deal but if you think the divine power and righteous retribution of Vengeance from God's will is overrated you have a very sad and pitiful life
Hey Rob, fan from France, can u tell if the living tribunal can judge beings like rune king thor, odin, galactus if they décide to destroy the univers. Can he really do that. He can judge anyone like thanos, earth heroes but can he judge Gods.
He can. He may or may not have the power to overcome someone wielding an Infinity Gauntlet within the universe of its origin, but he still passes judgement on them; anyone less powerful, he can absolutely overpower.
Thanks for this video Rob. The whole Volthoom and original lantern ring was something that had always puzzled me but now i understand the lantern ring concept. Basicially it was the one thing holding me back from diving into more lantern stories.
The Travel Lantern wasn't implanted into Volthoom tho? I don't exactly remember what that Lantern is in his chest but his original Travel Lantern was kept hidden from him and ultimately used to forge the first seven green lantern rings.
naww it's like using bottlecaps while everyone else is using coins and paper money and Mr House only honoring caps, you take their paltry money's turn into chips and bet at the tables and win more caps making you even richer LMAO
So the white lantern ring is still like a battery and the first lantern ring is like it's plugged into the emotional spectrum itself as its power source? I can understand that.
Rougesteelproject I believe he said that the while they both give you access to the every emotional color the phantom ring only gives access to one at a time and the first gives access to all at once
From Rob's 'The Most Powerful Lantern in the Universe?' "The ring basically switches to whatever emotion a person is feeling at any particular time." "The ring feeds on your emotional state." And from Jesica Cruz herself: "It feeds off your emotions and controls you." So it's like a white lantern ring, but without the training that Kyle Rayner had, so the dangerous colors like yellow, oramge, red, will control you. And rapid costume changes.
Really liking Green Lanterns so far because it builds on top of Johns' mythos instead of destroying it. Good stuff
I look forward to these videos everyday. A little escapism is a great thing
Still waiting for a video titled The Origin of the Rob Corp Ring. Which could be made as soon as you release a Rob Corp Ring as Merch!
Nah comicstorian is the blue lantern
Comicstorian is the H.I.V.E
Rob, I don't know if you'll read this but do this. I'll buy 7, a different one for everyday
Lockjaw theyre actually just known as comicstorians.
Why would comicstorian be in an already made corps(blue), or be an already made villain(Sinestro), if Rob has his own, original corps and name? C'mon guys....
Also, I want a ring too.
Damn...I've been missing Rob and the rob corp....phone got fucked in the flood, and i just got this on yesterday...trying to play catch up. Man, rob in two weeks you drop twice as much content in two weeks that most people do in a month. Keep it going! ! Rob Corp Rules!!!
Hope your recuperation goes well bro. Stay positive. *Throws up fist in solidarity* ~_~
Kenneth Martin, welcome back m8
Came here after Blackest Night! Thanks Rob for making me love the Green Lantern Mythos !
I gotta say that green lantern stories are by far the most consistently good stories.
what about sorrow there is still no ring for sorrow which gray would be an appropriate color and would be the one emotion that makes volthoom think and finally come to his real senses
There is a reason why grey is not a lantern color, because there technically already is one from another universe "The Grey" from Earth 2 of which it's only known member is Solomon Grundy. Also Rob the Earth 2 lantern corps would be an amazing video, most of them are earthly forces.

Is anyone else getting a sense of deja vu?
Did barry fuck up the time line again 😫
imagine i just went through all the playlist, yeh, djavu is a thing xD

the latern mythos is so fucken cool, i look forward to your videos every sunday, keep it up Rob!
god I love all of these DC videos, their stories are have so much depth
I love the videos. I love the detail you go into. I love the fact that you put in so much effort into doing something you enjoy. Keep it up.
Ok I recall rob saying that dr Manhattan could beat one white lantern but not like 10 of them. How would here fair against vulthoom
ArcGIS Is Fun I think White Lantern Kyle Rayner could've stood up to him before he broke up the Life Equation and thereby gave up the majority of his power. With the complete Life Equation, he was a force to be reckoned with.
Magneto so you would say the life equation put Kyle above vulthoom?
ArcGIS Is Fun Honestly I have no concept of Volthoom's power, this is the only video I've seen about him and I've been trying to get it to load on my android for like an hour, so I haven't gotten to watch it yet. Haven't read any Green Lantern comics since Sinestro's Law, either.

David Reiter rob needs to do a versus of that
Love the Lantern vids. Hoping for some more classic Batman and Spider-man vids down the road.
*This is awesome rob! Thanks!*
There's some major details here about Vothoom that weren't in either of your other videos on him, I finally feel like I'm getting a grip on his story.
so Volthoom ring and White Lantern... White Lanterns are the cashier at McDonald's that can take any order...Volthoom is the McDonald's itself?? is that correct??
Comics explained you are definitely getting a like. You take so much time and effort I to the videos. I guarantee you will explode if you keep this work up!
Yo Rob, thank you for your hard work. Much appreciated!
Omega/beyond Omega level MewTwo
Secret Empire was amazing rob, love your voice!
This is so awesome and new to me! Thanks for all your hard work Rob. Keep it up!
I finally arrived in time and not 100 hours later to watch your most recent upload.
Would love to see the Ares limited run covered it's my favorite run took me a little while to get the set, more obscure run would be awesome to see it covered
This was such a great explanation. You rock!
Hey rob love u and ur channel! was wonderin if ud ever do a tbt kinda thing a do old classic stories from the 70s 80s 90s?
The travel lantern wasn't placed in Volthoom, or else he wouldn't need Jessica to go back to his universe. The guardian's put the Great Heart in Volthooms chest, a separate lantern that contains the emotions of the guardian's, giving Volthoom a mainline to all the emotional spectrum
more Gambit videos!! I like most of your videos and love the Gambit cover but I want more Gambit and I think I speak for many more fans, so please more gambit videos!!
Dope Video . Can U Do A Video About What Happens With When Someone Has & Uses All The Lantern Rings .
Hey Rob, love your channel. What issue contains the the explanations of the emotional Spectrum.
Thanks
Volthoom is like mage, wielding magic directly, lanterns are like wizards, they need more time and something to channel with.
Your logic of First Lantern Ring vs. White Lantern Ring has been the same logic I've been using for Barry Allen vs. Wally West for years. Barry IS the Speed Force and Wally is just main lining it.
I've never read Green Lantern but always liked them. Always seemed cool to me.
my head cannon used to be that Black Lantern is also a part of the spectrum so Volthoom actually can tap into black as well and that's how white lantern differ from him
The All encompassing Logic RING!!!
Phantom lantern < white lantern Kyle Rayner < first lantern
I get that right?
Bro we need more WATCHMAN videos
God morning rob Corp
Parasite (DC) VS Rogue (Marvel); I think it would come down to what ever abilities they previously had and can still use
Keep up the greatness!
Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely. Absolute power attracts the corruptible.
I subbed to you, comicstorian, and eligible monster.
Wow haha first time in a while I've heard Rob say " cut a swath "
I liked the new 52 the new guardians with the first lantern , and the first introduction of parallax sinestro
Lit. Rob, please do Batman V5 Superheavy! It's kinda required reading for Metal!
hey Rob can you please do a vid on cyborg rebirth its by far one of the best titles out of rebirth right now
Ain't this the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth?
Can you make a video on if sandman is Omega level and where he's been in comics lately
Tahj Hightower he could throw sand on u and go through your pores and destroy your organs from the inside
He puts sand in ur shoe so everytime you walk you are slightly uncomfortable
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) so he's a world destroyer...my god
But can't he control sand...like all of sand? There isn't an alternate universe where he takes over the planet by controlling all the world's sand or something?
Tahj Hightower probably, writers are known too make retarded stories
Pleaseeee do a video explains who would win in a fight The Joker vs The Purple Man. Like could The Purple Man really control The Joker even tho he's literally insane

Probably the main universe, given that the ring was created by the Guardians putting their emotions into the Great Heart and his power source was the Great Heart itself. That means that if he uses enough emotional energy, he will destroy the main universe, not his original universe.
Green lantern Emerald knights is a great ring origin story.
Make a video on DC cosmology!!! Like the presence and explain all that please!!
Ayush Draws I think he already did that
History of Video Games well now I want him to do it toooo
I'm guessing the "Next Big Ring" will be a clear ring; a Void ring, which drains other ring energies or nullifies it.
Could you please do some hellboy stuff
Not gonna lie i was waiting on this
What's up Rob, when will you start covering characters from Image, Vertigo, or Top Cow? Also, will you be covering Shuma-Gorath?
Please do an origin of BADROCK or SUPERPATRIOT
excelent... what happen to does other 7 rings...kyle made...when he was white lanters... remember...I remember the story...he did it... because it was to much...for him...😎😎😎
Please make DC's The Spectre video 👹
Lockjaw the Spectre is not overrated. that's fine if you don't like him I don't really give two shits about your little opinion so big deal but if you think the divine power and righteous retribution of Vengeance from God's will is overrated you have a very sad and pitiful life
Rob please cover Spawn arcs!! (5)
Damn if vulthoon showed up and showed the guardians how to tap into their emotional spectrums, he’s very very very old
Do the omega/beyond omega level video on Silver surfer
Man. Let me tell you something Rob Corp. Let me tell you sumthang!!
Rob can you explain why they use death and life as part of the emotional spectrum? Those are not emotions, doesn't the black laterns represent death?
Death=no emotions so how can no emotions be an emotion? Not making sense there bro lol
This guy sounds like Howard Dare
the rob corp is hard core
When are you going to make a video about the reveal of Mr. Oz?
Sauron made it...duh
You should do a how to un-alive doctor doom
Sweet a Voltron video! Oh wait nvm...
When are you gonna discuss the reveal of dr.oz?
It's though the lanterns are using batteries. Volthom has access to the generators themselves.
Hey Rob, fan from France, can u tell if the living tribunal can judge beings like rune king thor, odin, galactus if they décide to destroy the univers. Can he really do that. He can judge anyone like thanos, earth heroes but can he judge Gods.
He can. He may or may not have the power to overcome someone wielding an Infinity Gauntlet within the universe of its origin, but he still passes judgement on them; anyone less powerful, he can absolutely overpower.
please do the Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects comics from the game of the same name
I wonder what'll happen if they make lantern rings, or at least people who can tap into the other parts of the emotional spectrum beyond the basic 9.
can you do superman vs kyber in "camelot falls"?
Is it reasonably possible we can get an update on the dark night soon? Or we have to wait until the series concludes ?
Can you explain dr ivo's android! Is he as powerful as he was in the justice league unlimited cartoon?
Why isn't humans natural emotional battery's in the Lantern Corps
Can we get videos on the nova corps.
Will you do something on nova
Thanks for this video Rob. The whole Volthoom and original lantern ring was something that had always puzzled me but now i understand the lantern ring concept. Basicially it was the one thing holding me back from diving into more lantern stories.
The Travel Lantern wasn't implanted into Volthoom tho? I don't exactly remember what that Lantern is in his chest but his original Travel Lantern was kept hidden from him and ultimately used to forge the first seven green lantern rings.
we need a dormammu Explained even do i am a dc fan
Waiting for Rob to say "Peace" at the end is like waiting for Nate Dogg to say "Smoke weed everyday". Just sayin.
so essentially, the white lantern is like using dollar notes and coins, and Volthoom is using a credit card?
naww it's like using bottlecaps while everyone else is using coins and paper money and Mr House only honoring caps, you take their paltry money's turn into chips and bet at the tables and win more caps making you even richer LMAO
More like Volthoom's drawing directly from the national reserves while everyone else is using an ATM.
Im a bit confused; when did this supposedly took place prior to COIE, did this happen before or after Chronus?
ComicsExplained
If I'm a member of the Rob Corp, does that make me a Rob Lantern? If so, where's my ring?
On your vs you should do wolverine vs flash
Jose Cervantes flash wins
AbsolutelyNoLogic how
The number of different Lantern rings is getting a little ridiculous, don't you think? They should've stopped after Black and White.
can you do Martain Manhunter rob?
Volthoom vs Dr. Manhattan.
Quick question: Did Rob ever cover the origin of the Blue Lantern Corps or not yet?
barely.
10 MINS ROB CMON MAHN
So the white lantern ring is still like a battery and the first lantern ring is like it's plugged into the emotional spectrum itself as its power source? I can understand that.
Do darks night metal #2
Do Beyond Omega Level: Imperiex
Who's watching from NJ
Did you cover the difference between the Phantom ring and Volthoom's stuff yet? The difference was too subtle for me to grasp.
Rougesteelproject I believe he said that the while they both give you access to the every emotional color the phantom ring only gives access to one at a time and the first gives access to all at once
Phantom ring can control all emotion including death, while white lantern ring can harness everything but death.
From Rob's 'The Most Powerful Lantern in the Universe?' "The ring basically switches to whatever emotion a person is feeling at any particular time." "The ring feeds on your emotional state." And from Jesica Cruz herself: "It feeds off your emotions and controls you." So it's like a white lantern ring, but without the training that Kyle Rayner had, so the dangerous colors like yellow, oramge, red, will control you. And rapid costume changes.
