Overview
The Sinestro Corps was similar to the Green Lantern Corps but instead of using willpower as their focus of their energy, they made use of fear.
Thus, the Corps chose those individuals who had the capacity to instill fear in the hearts of others. When chosen, the ring takes them to the Anti-Matter Universe world of Qward where they are encased in a fear lodge; a shell that covers their entire body leaving them trapped in darkness. In this state, they are required to face their own fears in order to activate their power ring thus giving them the means to exit the fear lodge. However, not all manage to pass this process with some dying of starvation or thirst whilst others are driven mad by their fears and thus die within the fear lodge. But those that do manage to spark their power ring are freed and taken to Lyssaa Drak; the Keeper of the Book of Parallax who tells them tales of the Sinestro Corps most evil members.
The oath of the Sinestro Corps was:
- "In blackest day, in brightest night,"
- "Beware your fears made into light"
- "Let those who try to stop what's right,"
- "Burn like my power... Sinestro's might!"
