My Understanding of Absolute Green Lanterns Power system so far
K I will give the simplest breakdown of what I have gathered so far. Tell me if I am missing something.
Two main forces that utilise the emotional spektrum: the Oan rebels and the Blackstars & Weaponors.
Both order the strength of the spectrums differently. Oans believe: Green > Red > Gold > White? Blackstars believe: White > Gold > Red > Green?
The emotional spectrum, or atleast the methods to harness its power, works differently in this universe. In main universe the emotions are: green is will, Red is rage, Gold/Yellow is fear and White is Life.
In the Absolute Universe to harness, control or tap into these powers (or perhaps the very nature of the power differs), you have to control them, do the counter, polar opposite of the og universes emotions to harness its powers.
Like Red is rage, so how do you control rage? Through restraint. So the Red power in this universe is the power of restraint.
Gold, or yellow in the og universe, meant fear. How do you best contest, counteract and control fear? Through knowledge and understanding. So the Gold power in this universe is the power of knowledge.
The White power refers to life in the og universe, so to best control life? You use logic I believe. So White in this universe is the power of Absolute logic and the blackstars consider all other emotions and levels of light as heretical and treat them as such.
Now Green is interesting as you can't really counteract or control will. (We also dont have any good non tomar examples of it in the comic yet) So I think it really is just will. That's why the Oans consider it the strongest while the Blackstars consider it the weakest. It might not have a counter. (Unless it's control itself somehow? But i think thats the power of Green/Will: to control. Like to control the Green Lantern ship. Still unsure about this)
Anyway to control these powers you need to gain 'understanding' of these concepts to harness their powers, concepts like will/control, restraint, knowledge and logic.
But if you manage to gain these powers without reaching these 'understandings' then you are a Tomar, an anomaly. And Tomars are exceptional in the manner that since they did not reach these 'understandings', they are not limited by them, not limited by their rules or the logic others used to acheive them, thus Tomars can utilise there powers in many many more different ways and varieties, and that's what makes them that much more dangerous.
