Absolute Judgement by Red-Rum-18

Eons ago, during the infancy of the universe, one of the first and most advanced species were the Oans, a race of extremely-intelligent beings who began developing a powerful and peaceful civilization based on their scientific research. The Oans who presided over Oa's Advancement Council included Ganthet, Lianna, Appa Ali Apsa, Sayd, and Krona. But Krona felt that the Council could not sufficiently promote intergalactic peace through the spreading of knowledge, but they should rather do so through the removal of criminals and terrorists from society... by any means necessary. Using a series of billions-strong nanobots, Krona was able to convert living beings into half-mechanical warriors at his command. Programmed with Krona's view of justice and law, the machines spread throughout the galaxy like a virus, killing and imprisoning any being who broke some form or other of law, no matter how minor.

The Oan Council were thought to be powerless against the forces of Krona, but their alignment with 5 neighboring planets, Qward, Ogatoo, Ysmault, Zamaron, and Odym, and their disengaged military technologies combined with their intelligence, created six powerful bodies made from living light, with the minds of warriors implanted into them. The energy warriors and the machines slew each other in the final battle, and the threat was finally neutralized. It was later discovered that the nanobots have spread throughout the universe, infecting a handful of members of each species, but the programming was erased. The biological energy of the light warriors have also be imbued into the nanobots, allowing the beings to manipulate both to create any machine or structure they can mentally conceive. Creating a series of devices called “lanterns”, which will allow the beings to access their inert powers, the six planets created an intergalactic peace-keeping force called the Spectrum Lantern Alliance. The alliance is divided into six corps, each related to the six colors of energy within the nanobots: Green, Yellow, Red, Orange, Indigo and Blue.

Eons have passed since the formation of the SLA, and Abin Sur, a deceased member of it's Green Lantern Corps, had passed on his lantern to an Earthling military pilot named Harold “Hal” Jordan, one of the first human agents of the Spectrum Lantern Alliance. In 2005, a massive hurricane threatened Hal's home town of New Orleans, Louisiana, but at the time he was contacted to participate in a critical mission with the Spectrum Lanterns. Hal felt he made the right choice when he remained on Earth to neutralize the hurricane, using his nanotech to generate a miniature sun that evaporated the cool water the hurricane needed to sustain itself. After helping the populace rebuild, he was brought to the Guardians of the Green Lantern Corps, the leaders of this corps, on disciplinary charges. He was found guilty of abandoning his duties and failure to follow orders, so he was stripped of his lantern and returned to Earth with no memory of his service in the GLC. Prominent members of the Spectrum Lantern Alliance, including Green Lantern Kilowog, Yellow Lantern Thaal Sinestro, and Indigo Lantern Iroque, convened with the Guardians of their corps in choosing a new Green Lantern to replace Jordan, concluding it should be another human. Jordan's lantern then traveled back to Earth and found a suitable replacement in a woman, a photojournalist named Alexandra DeWitt.

Notes:

* The six planets are each the headquarters of the six corps of the Spectrum Lantern Alliance: Oa = Green, Qward = Yellow, Ogatoo = Orange, Ysmault = Red, Zamaron = Indigo, and Odym = Blue.

* Krona's army of nanotech cyborgs is based on the Manhunters.

** Since the mainstream Indigo Lanterns don't have a known base, I replaced the Violet Lanterns with them to make Zamaron their HQ (the planet will still be connected to the Star Sapphire, however).

* The name “Spectrum Lantern” is inspired by :iconnightshade475: , who has six colors on each team instead of six separate corps with the same color per corps.

* Each lantern conforms to the bearer's personality and memory, so each one is different. Hal's lantern was the shape of a ring, but when it was passed on to Alex DeWitt, it became the shape of a pinhole camera.

** The colored light of the nanotech conceals the nanobots' formation into whatever tool or weapon the Lantern agent thinks of (inspired by Aaron Diaz: dresdencodak.tumblr.com/post/1… ).

* The intelligent, black-and-white nanofiber uniforms of the Lantern agents are stored in the lanterns themselves, and conform to the wearer's body when they need it. The lanterns can be teleported to the bearer from any distance with mental activation, and adheres itself to the uniform when in use.

* New Orleans stands in place of the fictional Coast City, along with New York City instead of Metropolis and Pittsburgh instead of Gotham City.

* The 2005 hurricane Hal stops is Hurricane Katrina.

* Other prominent SLA agents include Blue Lantern Sercy, Orange Lantern Larfleez, and Red Lantern Atros.

* For a new GL, I wanted someone who was unique yet the same. When I thought of a woman, I didn't want it to be an original character (Aaron Diaz) or a gender-bent mainstream human GL ( :iconnightshade475: ). My quest took me to Alexandra DeWitt, the girlfriend of mainstream GL Kyle Rayner. In an alternate universe, she was chosen to be a GL instead of Kyle, leading to Kyle being murdered and stuffed in a fridge instead of Alex. I decided to go with her for Absolute Green Lantern.

* Alexandra, as the new Green Lantern of Earth, will be chosen to join a secret strike force of meta-talented heroes formed by Superman...
