Mera in blackest night ! (BN 6# Spoilers )
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 3:30 am
I know a few people weren't to happy about the choice of Mera in BN6 becoming a Red lantern
But recently i have been reading some older Aquaman stories and i gotta say when Aquamans and Meras son dies, she gets PISSED! and not a her sons Murderer Black Manta, but a blind rage at Aquaman and blames his "Weak human Genes" for the death of her son, she is commited to a Atlantis Asylum and later tries to kill him. this anger continues to "One Year Later" only a few years ago
So to be honest i don't blame johns for picking her for rage. but there is also another reason
Look at who is picked.
Green=Hal Jordan= Green Lantern
Orange=Lex Luthor= Superman
Sapphire=Diana Prince= Wonder Woman
Indigo= Ray Palmer= Atom
Blue =Barry Allen=Flash
Yellow= Scarecrow= Batman
Red= Mera= Aquaman
see what i'm getting at, each of these lanterns represents a different part of the DCU so while say "Bane" (just for example) may be a good choice for rage. there was actually a rhyme for the reason
