The origins of the Black Lantern Corps was deeply rooted into the magical prophecies of the Five Inversions of the Empire of Tears. After their imprisonment on their home world of Ysmault, its members remained trapped by the victorious Guardians of the Universe who sentenced them to remain on that planet. At one point, the Green Lantern Abin Sur arrived on that world forbidden to the Green Lantern Corps in order to rescue a crashed civilian ship. It was there he met the Five Inversions where Qull told Sur of his death and the death of the Corps by telling him the prophecy known as the Blackest Night. Later, Abin Sur once again broke the Guardians ban on Ysmault and journeyed to it in order to learn more about the Blackest Night prophecy. Despite Atrocitus telling them not to say more, Abin Sur managed to capture the red skinned demon and take him to the ship in order to find the vessel that contained the Black that would bring about the death of all life. The ship arrived on the planet Earth where Abin Surs fear of dying led to his ring constructs weakening and freeing the prisoner Atrocitus. His escape led to severe damage to the ship which crashed and mortally wounded the Green Lantern. Free on Earth, Atrocitus himself sought to claim the host of the Black through a Cosmic Divining Rod and use its power to destroy the Guardians. Through his blood magic rituals he learnt the being was a Human known as William Hand but before he could accomplish his goal, the Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Sinestro captured him.
