Green lantern alter ego movie#
As I'm also a player cut off from running around and then using this column to write about things I'm experiencing in the game, this week I figured I'd once again diverge from the game to the larger DC Comics universe and take a look at a few cool DC things to come.Īs with any movie based on print media, there's a huge chunk of history to dig into, especially when it comes to comic books and their oft-confusing retroactive changes to continuity, more commonly known as retcons. Meanwhile, as SOE remains locked in its security and networking cocoon, we're left on our own to hunt down other DC Comics entertainment. The cheapest piece (back-slot) would take all 40 marks a Lifetime subscriber had. The amount is also especially wise - it's a good portion based on outage time but isn't so huge that people can immediately jump into lots of T2 gear. (For those not familiar, Marks of Distinction are what you need to get Tier 2 raiding gear.) Personally, I think the marks are a wise choice of bonus since locked out players re essentially losing the chance to run dailies and raiding, both of which involve timers. Station subscribers will also get 500 Station Cash, and Lifetime subscribers get 10 additional Marks of Distinction.
Green lantern alter ego plus#
(We are, after all, all about the MMOs here at Massively!) Since last week's column, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that not only will subscribers be getting the free month plus a day for each day the network is down along with the Batmask, but there will be additional goodies as well.įor DC Universe Online players, that means the previously mentioned Batman and new Two-Face inspired masks (no word on whether this will be one mask per side or both masks for both sides) and 30 Marks of Distinction. Meanwhile, Sony is continuing to work toward restoring its service as the days of the longest large-network MMO outage tick by. The idea of Karshon getting their powers from toxic waste is interesting too, especially as the film is expected to have an environmentally-conscious story.Another week passes when those of us who want to get back to stomping around in DC Universe Online are left to our own devices. While Karshon is best associated as a Green Lantern villain, it will be interesting to see how their story is told in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, especially as their origin story has more oceanic roots than cosmic. Karshon was then reintroduced in 2018's Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32 as a villain of The Flash, and then died as a member of the Suicide Squad. All the while, Karshon fluctuated between their superpowered form and the original shark form on multiple occasions, and briefly played a role in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Karshon continued to be a thorn in Hal Jordan's side, even once briefly absorbing the hero's mind. Karshon moved to Coast City and eventually set their sights on Hal Jordan, hoping to strike fear in the Green Lantern and hunt him. Karshon gained several mental abilities, including mind reading, matter manipulation, and the ability to control bolts of energy. Created by John Broome and Gil Kane in 1963's Green Lantern #24, Karshon began as an ordinary tiger shark, who evolved into a superpowered being after being exposed to experimental radiation.
