CONSOLATION FINAL: BLACKEST NIGHT/BRIGHTEST DAY
1d2 will be rolled for one of the teams. The other team will be automatically assigned the remaining role. Unique to the rest of the events thus far, the Black Lantern team will whole heartedly play for the “bad guy”.
- 1 = Blackest Night/Black Lanterns
- 2 = Brightest Day/White Lanterns
Black Lanterns: Your entire League has been corrupted by Nekron and now serve him and his goals as Black Lanterns. Further, you are to recruit an additional three Black Lanterns from an eliminated team in your conference (East, West). All three Lanterns–of your choosing–must come from a single team, excluding the 2 “still alive” teams in the main final.

-
Black Energy Constructs: Black Lantern Rings can create constructs, but they are seldom created, except when the Black Lantern used to wield such abilities or certain weapons. Arnold Wesker created a construct of Scarface upon his receiving a ring, and the Black Lanterns created from former Lanterns of other colors also can use them in this fashion.
-
Flight: Black Lantern Rings can allow their users to fly.
Reanimation: Upon latching onto a corpse, the Black Lantern ring will reanimate the body. The ring animating the person within downloads all the memories and superhuman abilities (if they had any) of their previous life, but not their souls. Instead, they are malevolent beings who seek to murder even those they considered friends. As demonstrated by Batman, a Black Lantern ring is also capable of resurrecting people other than the wielder. -
Regeneration: Black Lantern Rings will regenerate destroyed limbs to complete the appearance of the corpse. It is possible for the rings to fully regenerate the host to the point that they appear alive, but the rings usually settle for a decayed appearance to terrify the target.
-
Emotional Reading: The Black Lantern rings are capable of scanning a being’s current emotional state and where it falls onto the Emotional Spectrum. They can then manipulate the emotions of their targets until they peak and allow the Black Lanterns to harvest their hearts for power. When facing beings with warped mental states, or otherwise addled minds (such as Bizarro), the correlation between the emotion detected and the actual color that the Black Lanterns see is inverted.
-
Heart Absorption: Once a victim’s emotional state is peaked, the Black Lanterns infuse their hands with Black Light energy, allowing them to rip the heart right out of their target’s chest and killing them instantly. The heart is then converted to Black Light energy while the deceased victim is reanimated into a new Black Lantern. A single heart equals 0.01% of the power needed to fully charge the Black Lantern battery, and this is apparently shared throughout the rings of the entire Black Lantern Corps.
-
Nekron Summoning: When the power levels of the Black Lantern Corps finally reached 100.00%, it enabled the Black Central Battery to teleport to Coast City and allow Nekron to move from his dimension into this plane of existence.
-
Life Extinguishing: The Black Lantern rings are capable of taking hold of a person who had been killed and resurrected, putting them under their control, effectively killing them again. This was shown when a group of resurrected heroes, including Superman, Superboy, Ice and Kid Flash, were possessed by the rings when they latched on and were commanded to “Die”. One of those affected, Superboy-Prime, is an interesting case
-
Emotional Spectrum Mimicry: Somehow, the Black Lantern rings can mimic the Emotional Spectrum of the other rings. This was shown when, upon taking a Black Lantern ring, Superboy-Prime attacked other Black Lanterns, lashing out with most of the spectrum, save Hope, which was used by Prime’s girlfriend.
-
Darkness Manipulation: Black rings can generate a light devouring field of depleted photons causing a massive black out effect which negates or greatly weakens the power of the Emotional Spectrum.
-
Spectrum Nullification: A black Lantern Ring can extinguish the light of the Emotional spectrum cutting off a ring wielders power rings connection to their specific empathic energy field.
-
Empathic Absorption: Black Lantern Rings can also be used to leech off the raw emotion spectrum energy of another ring, as was the case with Aquaman when he siphoned off Jessica’s Will Power energy from her ring. The siphoning effects works on all energy forms, not just the ones affiliated with the Emotional Spectrum, such as Superman’s Heat Vision.
White Lanterns: Your League will remain as they are, but you will similarly recruit three White Lanterns from a single, non-finalist team of your choosing–in your East or West conference. You should still utilize your non-Lanterns in your original team. You serve the Entity of the White Light of Creation

-
Emotional Spectrum Dominance: The white light is the first light and in essence, all of the other colors of the emotional spectrum combined. As such, a user of a white ring can generate any color of the emotional spectrum and use the powers of each color. The white ring also allows the user to access the rings of any member of any of the other corps and observe these members.
-
Energy Blasts: They can fire energy blasts.
-
Force Field Generation: The white power ring can create various forcefields of various sizes and shapes to protect the user and others around him/her. These force fields protect him/her from the hazards of the void including filtration of stellar radiation and microscopic particulate matter which would ordinarily be fatal should the space debris strike the ring wielder at high speeds. An atmosphere appropriate to the person’s biology is created inside the force-field, body temperature is maintained and waste products are removed. Gravitational stresses which could cause injury are stabilized. Theoretically, a white lantern could use the ring as his/her/its sole source of life support.
-
Energy Constructs: The white ring can form constructs of white energy. The primary function of the Power Ring is to provide a weapon capable of transforming the wearer’s thoughts into physical constructs through the wearer’s mastery of life and the entire emotional spectrum. A white lantern can create any particular items or construct that they can imagine as long as they have the mastery of emotions necessary to will it into existence. The constructs are made out of white energy, which is a tangible form of pure life, and they exist only as long as a white lantern is fueling it with their mastery of life energy. Items created by the rings are not indestructible and are only as powerful as the force of emotions of the white lantern that created them.
-
Phasing: A white power ring allows the wielder to pass through certain solid objects, such as walls. Which objects that are not penetrable are not known, but it may depend upon the strength of the user and the density of the object’s molecular structure.
-
Environmental Playback: Upon their will, the white lantern can recreate a holographic environment based on data in its memory banks.
-
Invisibility & Light Refraction: A white lantern can render him/her/itself invisible by willing themselves to bend light waves around his/her/its form.
-
Energy Absorption: The white ring can absorb and store most other energies including the energy of the other colors in the emotional spectrum.
-
Flight: By the manipulation of anti-gravitons and directed molecular movement, they can fly at incredible speeds. In atmosphere, a white lantern has been known to fly as fast as Mach 10 in atmosphere by creating an aerodynamic envelope around his body. Towing others, usually within a bubble, his/her speed is limited to the twice the speed of sound or 1440 mph. In space,a white lantern speed can be significantly greater and has been known to approach 80% of lightspeed in normal space. Flight is possible at velocities exceeding light speed. In atmospheres, air friction is not a hindrance, since heat is either absorbed or reflected by the ring’s field.
-
Wormholes & Spatial Warps: Their power grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the them to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport.
-
Healing: The white rings have the ability to heal almost any injury, initial complete cellular regeneration, and in some instances resurrect the dead.
-
Connection to Life: The white ring uses the energy of life and so is connected to all life. The ring can allow users to see the foot prints of life and see the past and present conditions of all life in a limited area around the user and even the “souls” or essence of those who have recently died.

BLACKEST NIGHT
Nekron makes his triumphant return during the prophesized Blackest Night, who claims all owe their lives to him, and he has come to collect. As his influence spreads throughout the universe, the dead rise and return to take revenge on the living, building his power by literally devouring the hearts and emotions of all those who still breathe.
He plans to use his army to uncover a dark secret of the Guardians… and then return the universe to a state of quiet order. His true goal, to find and destroy the embodiment of life itself: the white Entity.
BRIGHTEST DAY
Deadman learns from the Entity that it is dying and needs to find the “chosen one” to take his place which is Deadman’s task.
The Entity explains that when Nekron attacked the Earth not only did it mortally wound the Entity, but it also heightened the contamination of the planet and that darkness and corruption will rise up in the form of another “dark avatar” who will try to destroy the Star City forest, the key to saving Earth’s soul and without the forest life on Earth would fade away and die.
Game Notes:
-
White Lanterns in most respects are more powerful than Black Lanterns, which is why the White/Entity team will only get 3 Lanterns, whereas the Black/Nekron team will get 9
-
The life or death alignment of your characters may contradict the original story. Do your best to make it work
-
Play your event e.g. Black Lanterns play Blackest Night
- Option 1: Play the event as you normally would, independent of the other team
- Option 2: Directly battle the other team in the poll. Reference their characters by name, whatever you want. But you know, be a good sport.
- Option 3: Do both. Work the other team into your case/narrative
-
You know the rest. Have fun!
