Alexander Nero
Homeworld: EarthAlex Nero was an artist committed to an asylum for multiple mental disorders. He was given a yellow power ring by the Weaponers of Qward in order to eliminate Kyle Rayner, at the time the last Green Lantern.Despite having a yellow ring, Nero was never a member of the Sinestro Corps (though they did manipulate him prior to the Sinestro Corps War). Following the war, Nero was executed by the Alpha Lanterns.
- Ax-Crazy
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: Was built up to be a big villain back when he was first created, but never really caught on and was ultimately unceremoniously shot through the head in the pages of Green Lantern Corps.
- Evil Counterpart: To Kyle Rayner.
- Shadow Archetype: Both are artists given weapons fueled by creativity.
- Mad Artist
- Parental Abandonment
- Hard to blame them, really...
The Anti-Monitor
Homeworld: The antimatter universeThe living embodiment of antimatter, who wishes to destroy all positive-matter universes so his own can reign supreme - and in Crisis on Infinite Earths, he nearly succeeded. He was reborn after the multiverse was restored in Infinite Crisis, and came to the attention of the Green Lanterns when he became the Guardian of the Sinestro Corps. He was defeated in the war (in part by Superboy-Prime, avenging the destruction of his home universe) and his body was taken to be the power source of the Black Lantern Battery. The White Light resurrected him in Blackest Night, but Nekron simply banished him back to the antimatter universe, where he plotted to claim the White Lantern and consume its infinite energies but was stopped by Firestorm.
- Arch-Enemy: To.....Everyone really.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Like Galactus, he's usually huge.
- Big Bad: The biggest, baddest threat in DC comic book history. Well until the next guy showed up.
- Dimension Lord
- The Dreaded: Everyone, literally everyone, is either dead afraid of him or at least recognizes his threat. Not even Darkseid is willing to stand against him
- Duel to the Death: Had this with The Spectre. Subverted though since they were interrupted.
- Eldritch Abomination: A subjectively malevolent, mostly energy being locked inside of a huge suit of armor.
- Evil Overlord: of the Qwardians, and by extension the entire Anti-matter universe.
- Evil Twin: of the Monitor.
- Generic Doomsday Villain: He was only created to justify the retcon that is the Crisis.
- Hero Killer: Doesn't matter who you are, Monty will drop you if he can.
- The Juggernaut: Remarkably hard to put down.
- Logical Weakness: He's made of Anti-matter, therefore being exposed to Positive Matter makes him a tad weak at the knees. So if you can rip open his suit, you have a small, small chance.
- Living Battery: Nekron turned him into the Black Lantern battery in Blackest Night.
- Multiversal Conqueror: Well, his motives seem to vary, but he's usually a...
- Omnicidal Maniac: He wants to destroy everything that isn't part of the Anti-Matter Universe.
- Planet Eater: Although, he's only really expressed interest in eating Earth as far as individual planets go. Most likely due to it's relevance as a Multiversal keystone.
- Powered Armor: Keeps his body together, Without it, he's either a marshmallow or a living beam of energy.
- Put on a Bus: Vanished after The New 52 started, though he was mentioned in flashbacks and in Wrath of the First Lantern.
- The Bus Came Back: Finally reappeared at the end of Forever Evil.
- Rasputinian Death: Read his page example.
- Spacetime Eater: He almost devoured the entire multiverse, and due to his actions, caused what little remained to collapse into one small New Earth.
- Wave Motion Gun: His blast are devastating
- The Worf Effect: He was pretty easily deposed of by Superboy Prime, though it should be noted that immediately before this he'd been hit with an explosion stated to be powerful enough to obliterate an entire galaxy, so he was hardly at full power.
- Worf Had the Flu: Then again, he was powering up a trick that would have recharged him.
Bolphunga the Unrelenting
- The Brute
- Depending on the Writer: Either a genuine fighter, when the Sinestros broke out of their prison cells and he fought with the Green Lanterns, or a joke character.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Well, not that sympathetic.
The Controllers
Homeworld: Unnamed binary star systemAn offshoot of the Guardians of the Universe, the Controllers didn't want to merely fight evil, but totally annihilate it. Generally builders of doomsday weapons such as the Sun-Eaters, they also formed a rival police corps called the Darkstars. After that, they pursued other avenues in their quest for universal order, creating Effigy and attempting to steal the Orange Light from Larfleeze, but each time they failed. In the future, the Controllers later retreat to an alternate dimension and become frequent opponents of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
- Doomsday Device: The Controllers aren't seen anywhere near as often as their creations, such as the Sun-Eater or the Miracle Machine, which tend to be these kinds of weapons.
- Energy Blasts: The Controllers can produce energy blasts similar to those of the Guardians.
- Follow the Leader: In-universe. Despite their proactive stance on evil, the Controllers generally copy the Guardians' methods, creating a corps of Dark Stars to replace the then-obliterated Green Lanterns, Effigy to oppose Kyle Rayner, and attempting to co-opt the Orange Light of Avarice to challenge the Green Lanterns' role as protectors of the universe.
- Knight Templar
- Well-Intentioned Extremist
AKA: Hank Henshaw
Homeworld: Biot (originally Earth)The villain who, with Mongul I, destroyed Hal Jordan's home of Coast City, earning him the Green Lantern's eternal enmity. Years later, Cyborg-Superman resurfaced as the grandmaster of the mechanical horrors, the Manhunters, refitting them with internal power batteries designed to leech away a Green Lantern's power. After his defeat, the cyborg was locked away on Oa, but was freed by Sinestro's forces, who appointed him their quartermaster and captain of the new WarWorld.All Cyborg-Superman wanted, however, was death, which Sinestro promised he would get after Earth was conquered—but this was not to be. Even though his body was almost totally destroyed in the Sinestro Corps War, the Manhunters found his corpse and rebuilt him. He has recently resurfaced and taken over the Alpha Lanterns through their Manhunter technology. While his plan with the Alphas failed, he might have gotten the death he desired.See the Superman Character Sheet for more on Cyborg-Superman.
Doctor Polaris
AKA: Neal Emerson
Homeworld: EarthNeal Emerson was a man tortured by schizophrenia, his mind shattered by abuse from his father. Originally a research scientist with an interest in magnetism, Emerson learned to harness power over metal through rigorous meditation. Unfotunately, when his powers manifested, Emerson's split personality took over, and Doctor Polaris was born. He battled Hal Jordan for years before being killed by the Human Bomb in Infinite Crisis.Later on, a businessman and Intergang associate named John Nichol, a follower of Neal Emerson's exploits, became the second Doctor Polaris after the death of Neal Emerson. He battles Blue Beetle, holding a definitive advantage, until he is shot in the shoulder by his own daughter. In Blackest Night #4, Nichol is reported to have been killed by the Black Lantern version of Emerson during a conversation between the Calculator and Lex Luthor.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: To an absurd degree.
- Extra Ore Dinary
- Freudian Excuse
- Older Than They Think: Though their powers are almost identical, and Polaris is often an Expy of Magneto, Polaris' first appearance predates Magneto's by several months.
- Super-Powered Evil Side
AKA: Martin Van Wyck
Homeworld: EarthJust like Kyle Rayner, Seattle slacker Martin Van Wyck was in the right place at the right time—but instead of getting a power ring from the last Guardian, he was given pyrokinetic powers by their enemies, the Controllers. And unlike Kyle, he didn't use his power to help people—he used it to lash out at a world he felt had walked all over him his entire life. The Controllers, whose Darkstar force had recently become defunct, wanted to create a force more like the Green Lantern Corps, but Effigy was found lacking, so they abandoned him. More than just producing flame, Effigy could shape fire into constructs just like a Green Lantern ring. He was eventually killed by The Spectre for participating in the murder of Martian Manhunter.
- Hellish Pupils: As a side-effect of his powers, Effigy's eyes seem to have a fire burning behind them.
- Jerkass
- Meaningful Name
- Playing with Fire
- Shadow Archetype: To Kyle Rayner.
- Touched by Vorlons
Evil Star
Homeworld: AoranA scientist from the planet Aoran, Evil Star created a device called the "starband" that drew down the power of the stars, aging his fellow Aurians to death but making him immortal. Drunk on power, Evil Star left his planet seeking new worlds to conquer, making himself an enemy of the Green Lantern Corps, especially Hal Jordan. His starband provides him the powers of flight, energy blasts, and hard light constructs, and also powers his Starlings, a squad of miniature Evil Stars with super-strength.The Guardians later send Evil Star to the Erral Rehab Facility, where they use a brain wave nullifier in an attempt to cure him. This rehabilitation is only partially successful, as the nullifier stimulates his subconscious mind, recreating the Starlings, who bring him the Star Brand. Evil Star flees to Earth in a confused state, believing the Starlings are persecuting him. He fights with Ferrin Colos, one of the Darkstars, who floods Evil Star's mind with reminders of the lives he has taken, starting with his homeworld. Evil Star's mind shuts down, and he is returned to the Guardians for re-education.Evil Star is freed by Neron, with enhanced Starlings, but returned to captivity by the Darkstars and Guy Gardner.
- Aborted Arc: Though heavily implied to be behind Black Hand's upgrade and part of the backstory for one of the Blue Lanterns, neither story got followed up on by their creator, Geoff Johns, in his ten year run on Green Lantern comics.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Named himself "Evil Star".
- Drunk on the Dark Side
- Galactic Conqueror
- Immortality Immorality: If he accepted his mortality, there wouldn't be an Evil Star.
- Jerkass Genie: The Starlings work according to his subconscious desires, rather than under his direct control. While Evil Star's intelligent enough to compensate in most cases, the Starlings can work against his better interests.
- Last of His Kind: Because he killed all the others.
- Mad Scientist
- Only Known by Their Nickname
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: All of the Starlings.
- The Power of the Sun: He draws strength from absorbing star light. This worked against him when he tried to take on Superman. Supes just got powered up by his attacks, because he also runs on star light/sunlight.
The First Lantern
AKA: Volthoom
Homeworld: Unknown
- A God Am I: He desires to remake history and make the universe his plaything.
- Ascended Extra: Started out in the Silver Age as the name of a corrupt Buddhist monk mentioned in connection with the origin of the Earth-3 Lantern counterpart Power Ring and then became the name of the annoying consciousness pestering the villain from within his ring before being reinvented as a major villain in the New 52.
- Bald of Evil: As of his Start of Darkness.
- Big Bad: Of the "Wrath of the First Lantern" arc.
- Despair Gambit: Pulls quite a few of these, since his powers grow stronger with despair.
- Eviler Than Thou: Pulls this on the Third Army.
- Tends to pull it on most iterations of Power Ring, too. It's often implied they're working for the ring instead of the other way round.
- Godzilla Threshold: He's so dangerous that Hal and B'dg are forced to have Hal perform a Heroic Sacrifice to ask aid of Nekron by turning Hal into a Black Lantern to allow Nekron to exist in the mortal realm and help them to retain the existence of this version of reality. Considering what happened last time Nekron came to the mortal plane, this is about as serious as it gets.
- Green Lantern Ring: Averted, but in fact his power is the reason for the Power Rings: a way to use Magic from Technology to control the same power of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum he can naturally.
- Humanoid Abomination: He looks human, but his form and his power show he decidedly isn't.
- Was Once a Man: However, he used to be... before he got swept up in the actual First Lantern, the Great Heart, and came out able to wield the First Ring, which channels the emotions of the Guardians.
- Name's the Same: Shares a name with another Volthoom, who was either (In the pre-Crisis Earth Three) a monk who gave the villainous Power Ring his eponymous weapon, or (In the post-Crisis Anti-matter Earth) a benevolent mystical being who resided within the villain's ring. Of course, he may possibly be that person's mainstream counterpart...
- Reality Warper: To an insane degree, and capable of remaking reality itself entirely if he achieves full power.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Was sealed in the Chamber of Shadows, a Tailor-Made Prison, until the non-Hidden Ones Guardians took him away to make their Third Army from their own flesh.
- Time Abyss: Has been around since Krona looked into the past, 10 billion years ago.
- Time Travel: Capable of it.
AKA: Keith Kenyon
Homeworld: EarthKeith Kenyon was a chemist in Coast City who discovered a sunken chest full of gold that had been irradiated by chemical waste. Using the irradiated gold, he created a serum that granted him super-strength and invulnerability for a limited time and became the super-criminal Goldface; eventually, the serum permanently turned his body into solid gold. After fighting Hal Jordan for years, moving to Central City and fighting The Flash, and killing Tomar-Re in Crisis on Infinite Earths, he was imprisoned. After time served, turned over a new leaf and became Keystone City's union commissioner.
- HeelFace Turn: After menacing Green Lantern for years, Goldface later resurfaced as a recurring character to The Flash, having given up supervillainy to become an honest union leader.
- Heroic Neutral: He's now the people's man, he helps the citizens, but doesn't fight superpowered beings anymore. In the Crossfire arc he helps the Flash fight the rouges who have fallen under his Ex-wife Blacksmith's control.
- Name-Face Name
- Nigh-Invulnerability
- Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: Blacksmith, the leader of the New Rogues.
- Rogues-Gallery Transplant: He later became a Flash villain.
- Super Strength
Homeworld: ApokolipsThe bastard offspring of Darkseid, an outcast among the New Gods, Grayven was a would-be Galactic Conqueror who crossed swords with Kyle Rayner on a number of occasions. After several failed attempts at building an empire, Grayven joined forces with the Sinestro Corps against Rayner, then the host of the Ion Entity. Shortly after, however, Grayven fell victim to the war in the Fourth World and died in the fall of the New Gods.
- Eye Beams: Grayven possesses a watered-down version of Darkseid's Omega Beams.
- Galactic Conqueror
- The Unfavorite: When Kalibak is a better son than you, you've got issues.
- Sometimes on a meta level, as well; Depending on the Writer, he's not Darkseid's son at all.
Hector Hammond
Homeworld: EarthAn arrogant scientist who worked as a consultant for Ferris Aircraft. While studying Abin Sur's ship, his carelessness led to an accident that freakishly enlarged his head and gave him psychic powers. As the years went by, Hammond's brain has swollen to over two meters in width and the rest of his body is now useless. His deepest desire is to steal Hal Jordan's thoughts so he can live vicariously through them.
- Disability Superpower
- Evil Cripple: Hector's head is so big his body's almost completely paralyzed, only able to get around through his psychic powers.
- I Just Want to Be You: Feels this way towards Hal.
- Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: His body is imprisoned (he's serving multiple life sentences) and is supposedly under the effects of a psionic inhibitor... but Hammond's mind is so powerful that he can still telepathically control people hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the prison without ever leaving his cell.
- Mind Control
- My Brain Is Big: One of the more extreme examples.
- Rogues-Gallery Transplant: His first appearance in the New 52 is as a Superman villain.
- Stalker with a Crush: He's obsessed with Hal Jordan, calling himself Hal's biggest fan. He's also obsessed with Carol Ferris.
- Telepathy
- Touched by Vorlons
Homeworld: MaltusThe Maltusian Mad Scientist that wanted to study creation (despite legends saying that this would be a bad idea) and ultimately prompted the race to become the Guardians. He was reduced to an Energy Being for his crimes, but occasionally returns to either take vengeance on the Guardians or pursue his obsession with creation. One of the greatest threats to the entire universe—and others. As his original experiment created The Multiverse and Anti-Matter Universe, he is indirectly responsible for the Crisis on Infinite Earths and all the disasters that followed as a result of it.Developments in Brightest Day revealed that he was once the keeper of the emotional entities, and can therefore bring them under his control. It's also explained that he induced the glitch in the Manhunters in order to highlight their flaws as emotionless beings. He used the entities to stage a takeover of the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians, which was foiled by the Earth Lanterns. Krona was then killed by Hal Jordan, who overcame his ring's no-killing-Guardians restriction in the process.
- A God Am I: He became a god about twice in his lifetime. It went to his head.
- Arch-Enemy: To the Guardians of Oa.
- Awesome Ego: Not without justification, but he still refuses to listen to anyone who tells him he's wrong.
- Badass: His limitless life is made of this trope. First, by trying to find out how the universe was made, he ended up creating a presumably infinite amount. Next after being cast out from our dimension, he got Nekron, the king of the dead, to give him extra powers and a ticket out of death because The Afterlife couldn't have an Immortal walk around without ripping itself apart.Third, he found a way to destroy entire Universes that couldn't provide him with the answers he wanted. Next, Krona beat Galactus to death, that's right, he killed a cosmic entity with his bare hands. And these are only the feats showed on-panel.
- The Beastmaster: He was the guardian of the Emotional Entities, and still knows how to control them. He even manages to drag Parallax halfway across the universe and imprison it effortlessly.
- Bigger Bad: Arguably the Biggest Bad in the entire DC universe. His experiment to see the creation of the universe backfired spectacularly, creating numerous parallel universes as well as the Anti-Matter universe; originally, this was said to have been the origin of evil itself, but if that probably counts as Canon Discontinuity it still makes him responsible for the Anti-Monitor, the Weaponers of Qward (and by extension, Sinestro) and a host of other horrors. Its recently been revealed that he's also the boss of Parallax, and the other emotional entities and was responsible for the Manhunters going rogue. More accidentally, he was once sent to Nekron's realm. The impossibility of an immortal in the realm of the dead gave Nekron his first glimpse into the physical universe and started his streak of omnicidal mania (Krona was all too happy to help him at that point anyway). He's actually the reason the Guardians of the Universe even exist, as the Oans became this to atone for Krona's sins.
- Big Bad: Became this directly during the War of the Green Lanterns, where Krona poisoned the GL corps by placing Parrallax's fear energy in the main battery. Hal eventually beat him though.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: After being revealed to be Only Mostly Dead in the pages of Red Lantern, he is unceremoniously killed off-screen by Abysmus.
- Energy Being: Became this several times, Though he can still assume his original humanoid form.
- Eldritch Abomination: He became a Formless energy caught between space and time during his first banishment.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Used to be Ganthet's friend before he was imprisoned.
- Fallen Hero: He was the smartest mind on Maltus, and invented pretty much everything the Green Lantern Corp uses before he went mad and turned against his former allies.
- For Science!: The original reason why he wanted to view the creation of the universe, despite the warnings of Maltusian legend that turned out to be true all along.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He invented the Sciencells, the Power Battery, and pretty much all the tech the Green Lantern Corps uses into the modern day.
- Humanoid Abomination: When he decides to go back to his original form.
- Mad Scientist: Admittedly, the madness mostly came in after he fell, but building a massive machine to look at the beginning of existence? Making a gauntlet capable of channelling willpower? He was well on his before then.
- Measuring the Marigolds: At least in the yearlong Trinity series.
- Mind Control: A speciality of Krona. In JLA/Avengers his stronghold is guarded by many of the villains fought by the Justice League and Avengers.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Not that he gives a damn, but Krona taking Ion from Sodom Yat, and then dumping him back on Daxam did depower a species of xenophobic bastards who didn't deserve the massive array of powers they had, and gave the GL Corps back their most powerful member.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Well not a hero, but when he wished to view the creation of the universe he merely wished to learn. Instead, it resulted in the Antimatter Universe, the Anti-Monitor's creation and all sorts of horrors on the cosmos.
- Omnicidal Neutral: He cares nothing for sides.
- Omnicidal Maniac: But if he can't get what he wants from a universe, he thinks nothing of destroying it.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: After Brightest Day, he's suddenly the same size as a regular Guardian, but still as dangerous as ever.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: He was sealed in a "Cosmic Egg" by the JLA and some otherworldly heroes for a while.
- Before that the Grandmaster tried to imprison Krona between two universe. This backfired, and almost caused the destruction of both universes.
- The Seer: Foresaw the events of Blackest Night and Brightest Day.
- Sore Loser: When he loses his wager with the Grandmaster, meaning he should leave their universe, Krona attacks the Grandmaster and forces the information he seeks out of their mind.
- Time Abyss: Like all Maltusians, he's impossibly old. His age extends right into the billions.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Has hints of this in Brightest Day. At the very least, he thinks he's one.
- We Used to Be Friends: With Ganthet, back before he went mad. Then Ganthet led the charge for his arrest. That was several billion years ago, and Krona hasn't forgiven him in the slightest since then.
Homeworld: Tchk-TchkHe is a foe of Abin Sur.
- Hive Mind
- Insectoid Aliens: Before they put their minds in their new invention, the Soul Jar.
- Ret Gone: Post-Infinite Crisis.
- Revenge
- Starter Villain: Only appeared in Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn.
Major Disaster
AKA: Paul Booker
Homeworld: Earth
- From Nobody to Nightmare
- HeelFace Turn: After Hal's death, Disaster became an Anti-Hero and even joined the Justice League (when they were desperate for help).
- Reality Warper: Limited to causing local-scale disasters.
Major Force
AKA: Clifford Zmeck
Homeworld: Earth
- Ax-Crazy
- Casting a Shadow
- Dark Is Evil: Hoo boy.
- Energy Blasts
- Evil Counterpart: To Captain Atom.
- Flying Brick
- Rogues-Gallery Transplant: From Captain Atom.
- Stuffed into the Fridge: The Trope Codifier, as per Gail Simone, when he killed Kyle's girlfriend.
The Manhunters
Homeworld: Biot (formerly Oa, later Orinda)Robotic precursors of the Green Lantern Corps. They wielded the same Green power source until the Guardians realized that they were too cold and inflexible to properly discern justice within the context of real cultures and real life situations. After being stripped of their status, the Manhunters formed their own group and have variously attempted to act upon their original purpose or exact revenge upon their creators. During the Sinestro Corps War, they joined forces with Cyborg-Superman, who became their Grandmaster and created a new breed of Manhunter that siphons power away from Green Lantern rings and recharges Sinestro rings.
- Actually a Doombot: Inverted. While the bulk of Manhunters are robots, they also recruited or brainwashed biological creatures into their ranks. It's common for these to make a HeelFace Turn but keep the name, or else die making up for their misdeeds.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Though in Brightest Day, it's revealed that their revolt was deliberately engineered by Krona.
- Big Bad: Collectively, of the Millennium crossover.
- Catch Phrase / Badass Creed: "No man escapes the Manhunters."
- Church Of Evil: Though rarely described in detail, the Manhunter Cult certainly qualifies.
- Deceptively Human Robot: They look like normal humanoids... until their faceplate flips open.
- Hive Mind
- Knight Templar
- Mecha-Mooks
- Robo Speak: Represented by square blue speech balloons.
Mongul II
Homeworld: Debstam IVThe son of Mongul I, despotic ruler of WarWorld and destroyer of Coast City. Like his father, Mongul II is a cruel and arrogant monster who lives for conquest. After the Sinestro Corps War, a yellow power ring found its way to Mongul, who used it to launch a hostile takeover of the Sinestro Corps; he nearly succeeded until Sinestro himself defeated him in single combat, trapping him within the yellow central power battery on Korugar. (See the Superman Character Sheet for his father, Mongul I.)
- 0% Approval Rating: Its pretty damn clear the Sinestro Corps only followed him because he'd kill them otherwise. And many that he conquer prefer to die instead of live under him.
- Aborted Arc: Early ads for his place in the War of Light heavily implied he'd be collecting the rings of each Corps, and fans noted he's one of the few villains who genuinely does have some concepts of Love and Hope (see Depending on the Writer). Given that the Indigo Ring is a Lotus-Eater Machine in disguise, it's entirely possible this was the intended final twist. Instead, Mongul II simply collected Sinestro Corps rings before challenging Arkillo and Sinestro for leadership of the corps.
- Always Someone Better: With Arkillo. Mongul beat him within an inch of his life and tore his tongue out to prove he was a worthy leader.
- Bad Boss: Kills any underling who so much as irritates him.
- Bald of Evil
- The Brute: Mongul isn't much of a strategist like his father, preferring to let his strength do the talking.
- Bullying a Dragon: Tried this with Mother Mercy and paid for it bigtime.
- Cain and Abel: With his vile sister, Mongal.
- Depending on the Writer: While he's always evil the great divide is that one writer paints him as a sociopathic, hulk-like monster that just loves to kill and talk a big game while doing so while the other paints a picture of a strategist with a very loose code of honor, that's not above helping his enemies when it benefits him too.
- Detachment Combat: His first run-in with the Green Lanterns resulted in him losing an arm. Thanks to his Sinestro ring he was still able to control it until he eventually got it reattached.
- Doomed Hometown: His homeworld is a barren wasteland thanks to his dad.
- The Dreaded: Why the Yellow Ring came looking for him.
- Eviler Than Thou: With Mongal, Arkillo, and Sinestro. That last one ends badly for him.
- For the Evulz: This is basically what his motivations boil down to. He has no grand scheme or overarching plan, he's just out to be as much of a dick as possible.
- Flying Brick: Once he got a power ring(s).
- Freudian Excuse: Just try growing up with Mongul as a father, being told that daddy is the hero and the dorks in bright colors are the evil villains keeping him from bringing the beauty of monstrous tyranny to the Universe. This doesn't justify dog shit of course, but it's at least an explanation.
- Averted in the New 52, where he straight up killed his family for tyring to interfere with his cruel streak.
- Galactic Conqueror
- Green Lantern Ring: Two fistfuls of Yellow Power Rings, taken from Sinestro Corps members who refused to join up with him.
- Hate Sink: Serves to make Sinestro look good in comparsion by being a vile monster.
- Jerkass: Not only does he have a Lack of Empathy, but he's an asshole who thinks he's better than everyone else and doesn't bother even with pleasantries.
- Kick the Son of a Bitch: Mongul II's decimation of xenophobic Daxam may be horrific, but it's also very satisfying to watch. As Sodam Yat notes, "congratulations mom and dad. You finally got the alien you deserve."
- Laser-Guided Karma: Given to him by Anti-Villain Sinestro
- Lotus-Eater Machine: His father's Black Mercy plants, but only until his first conflict with the Green Lanterns. The Lanterns discovered the plants were spawned by a benevolent "Mother Mercy" and helped her rebel against Mongul.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: It takes hits from Green Lantern Rings or someone as strong as Superman to actually hurt Mongul II.
- Overlord Jr.: Is less about holding entire worlds at his mercy like his dad and more about just being the absolutely worst thing he can be, which generally includes forcing people to serve him.
- Rogues-Gallery Transplant: First appeared in Superman's comics.
- Self-Made Orphan: In the New 52, he murders his mother and father(who's good in this version) due to them becoming concerned with his violent streak.
- Smug Snake: Mongul is legitimately skilled and one of the strongest conquerors out there, but he's too needlessly cruel and dismissive of his opponents to be the Magnificent Bastard he sees himself as.
- The Starscream: Borderline example, since Mongul II started trying to take over the Sinestro Corps before he actually met Sinestro.
- Stupid Evil: He's hardly dumb, but he focuses way too much on trying to be as much of a dick as possible and/or forcing others to serve him without even pausing to consider the practicality of that approach or how it's going to bite him in the ass later on. Especially the latter.
- Super Strength: To scary levels. Mongul II and his father are among the most physically powerful beings in DC.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Mongul I, initially. He's since evolved into a rather different character.
- Took a Level in Badass: Never the threat that his father was, Mongul II's acquisition of a yellow power ring allowed him to take on multiple Green Lantern Corpsmen with little difficulty, achieving a status in the GL book similar to that of his dad in the Superman comics.
- What Might Have Been: See the character pic? At one point, he was going to try to collect all the rings, but that storyline got rewritten into a civil war with the Sinestro Corps.
- What Ever Happened To The Mouse: After being thoroughly swatted by Sinestro, he vanished from continuity.
- "Well Done, Son!" Guy: As a child, he wanted nothing more than for his father to trust him and like him enough to let him tag along on his journeys to enslave the Galaxy.
Power Ring
AKA: Harold "Hal" Jordan of Earth-3 (New 52)An Evil Counterpart to our Green Lantern, Power Ring hails from an alternate universe and is a founding member of the Crime Syndicate of America. Pre-Crisis he was a petty criminal who gained a magical ring from a Tibetan mystic named Volthoom; this ring made him one of the most powerful villains on Earth-3, second only to Ultraman.Post-Crisis (where he was from the Antimatter Universe) and in the New 52 (when he was from a destroyed Earth-3), Power Ring is portrayed as suffering from a curse, with his ring dominating his every thought, and controlling everything he does. He is little more than a pawn for Ultraman, Owlman, and the rest of the Crime Syndicate.
- Artifact of Doom: The ring in all continuities.
- Badass: Pre-Crisis Power Ring, who managed to dominate most of his battle against the Silver Age, planet-juggling Superman, despite being on Earth-1 where Superman had a homefield advantage. He then battled Doctor Fate, the greatest sorcerer in the DCU on Earth-2 and again gave an excellent account of himself.
- Blessed with Suck: Most versions of Power Ring are essentialy enslaved by the ring, rather than using it for their own ends. Most Power Rings are still evil, just frustrated at their lost free will.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Pre-Crisis Power Ring inflicts one on Superman after taking the battle to Earth-3 where he has the edge.
- Dirty Coward: In the New 52, where the ring makes him paranoid.
- Evil Counterpart: To our Green Lantern in all continuitiesthough the Pre-Crisis Power Ring had more in common with Alan Scott, the Earth-2 Green Lantern, than Earth-1 Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
- Evil Genius: Pre-Crisis Power Ring played this role alongside Owlman. Owlman would come up with the plans, but it was Power Ring who would find a way to magically implement them.
- Evil Twin: In the New 52 where in addition to being an evil Green Lantern he is Earth-3's Hal Jordan.
- Go Out with a Smile: New 52 Power Ring dies smiling and thanking Sinestro for freeing him from the ring's control.
- Green Lantern Ring: Has an evil variant of one.
- Grew a Spine: New 52 Power Ring grows one just in time to die fighting Sinestro.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Pre-Crisis Power Ring died alongside Ultraman, Superwoman, and the rest of the Crime Syndicate, attempting to save Earth-3 from the Anti-Monitor's antimatter wave.
- Killed Off for Real: The New 52 Power Ring was pretty definitively killed by Sinestro.
- Unwitting Pawn: Of Ultraman in the New 52.
- Villainous Valor: New 52 Power Ring, who overcomes his fear and decides to die standing up in his battle with Sinestro.
The Psions
Homeworld: Vega systemAn early experiment of the Guardians' ancestors on Maltus, the Psions are a race of reptilian humanoids with a penchant for cruel scientific experimentation. They were abandoned by the Maltusians when they migrated to Oa, and later made violent contact with their Neglectful Precursors. When the Psions were defeated, the Guardians allowed them to settle in the Vega system (which was off-limits to them due to their deal with Agent Orange) so as to afford them peace. The Psions have since become a powerful galactic force thanks to their relative immunity to the Green Lanterns' jurisdiction.
- Mad Scientist: The most dedicated bunch in the DCU.
- Man Behind the Man: Typically how they affect storylines. They're not particularly tough in-person, and Genre Savvy enough that they prefer not to experiment on themselves. They're perfectly happy using proxies, however.
Homeworld: UnknownA mysterious gigantic being from the previous universe. Relic was trapped inside the Anomaly, a cyst-like region of space containing the remains of Relic's universe. An altercation between Kyle Rayner and the Anomaly's overzealous guardian Exeter released Relic. He seems to have some sort of grudge against the Spectrum and seeks to destroy it.
- Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Possible became a sort of New God archetype after having gone through one end of the old source wall and then come out another end of a cosmic cyst, spending millennia growing and evolving within a stretch taking place between eyeblinks at the time.
- AdvancedAncientAlien: Guy isn't called relic simply for show, he is both on figurative and literal standing regarding this.
- Advanced Ancient Acropolis: What he once hailed from, before it all came to an end due to excessive expenditure. Not that he partook of any of it mostly due to its harmful repercussions.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: His origins makes him one to Marvel's Galactus. Both are the sole survivors of the previous universe and several times larger than the natives of the current universe.
- Call a Lantern a Lightsmith: In his old universe, light users of the emotional spectrum were called Lightsmiths. He uses the same name for the Lanterns.
- The emotions tapped then, too, are different but related (e.g. Courage instead of Willpower).
- Clarke's Third Law: Given how the outdated (by his universe's standard) technologies he uses can harness the metaphysical forces of the Electromagnetic Emotional Spectrum. To a degree, seeing as Jordan coined how the Red Rings of Rage are Magitek in nature, potentially useful against his devices.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Once a humble hermit scientist and black sheep of his forgotten reality turned dangerous unstoppable zealot out to save the universe no matter what the cost nor how many lives lost. Subverted, he eventually grows out of this.
- Good Is Not Nice: Tries to keep casualties to a minimum, and is perfectly willing to discuss his motives. His first volley was also against the Blue Lantern Corps, nearly killing them, despite them being by far the most benign of the corps.
- Knight Templar: Wished to save the universe from the folly of overtaxing the Emotional Spectrum like his universe did once long ago, his way of going about it given how he was hut out the first time however, veered him into this category.
- Last of His Kind: True to his name, he's the remaining being from a previous universe.
- Lost Technology: Was considered to use this back in the previous universe.
- Our Giants Are Bigger: He appears to be twenty times bigger than a normal human. A person could fit in the palm of his hand.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: When fled the end of his universe, he became encased inside the Anomaly. He was released when Kyle Rayner examined it.
- Sufficiently Advanced Bamboo Technology: By New-52 standards the machinery is a work of wonders beyond imagining, but in his old universe the machines he utilized which weren't powered by Light were considered archaic in comparison.
- Sufficiently Advanced Alien: Possibly more so than most any species within the current New Universe given how his machinery can analyze, replicate, emulate or facilitate both matter & energy even better than a Power Battery or the mysitech used to harness emotional energy.
- Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: Played with, given how his technologies catalog any/all forms of emotional energy and repurpose them.
- The Stoic
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: In his old universe, the Lightsmiths destroyed it by using up the power of the emotional spectrum. To make sure this doesn't happen again, he sets out to eradicate the Lanterns.
The Shark
Homeworld: Earth
AKA: Bito Wladon
Homeworld: Earth
The Spider Guild
Homeworld: Vega system
- Big Creepy-Crawlies
- Intelligent Gerbil: They're aliens who mimic terrestrial spiders in their appearance and habits.
AKA: Kal-El / Clark Kent
Homeworld: Earth-PrimeOnce a young comic book fan in a world without superheroes, this Clark found that he was his universe's counterpart to Superman, with all his powers. He helped the united heroes in Crisis on Infinite Earths, but could not save his own Earth from the Anti-Monitor. With no home left to, he retreated into a paradise dimension... where he watched his favorite heroes descend into The Dark Age of Comic Books. The years of isolation eventually got to him, convincing him that the new universe did not deserve to exist, leading to a Roaring Rampage of Revenge in Infinite Crisis. The Guardians imprisoned him after his defeat.Over a year later, the Sinestro Corps staged a breakout on Oa and recruited Superboy-Prime. However, Prime only did so to get close to the Anti-Monitor to avenge Earth-Prime's destruction. After a protracted battle against Sodam Yat, Prime betrayed the Sinestro Corps and killed the Anti-Monitor, hurling him into space before the panicked Guardians hurriedly banished him from this universe.See the Superman character sheet for more on this character.
The Tattooed Man
AKA: Abel Tarrant
Homeworld: EarthAbel Tarrant was a sailor based in Coast City who turned to burglary. During one of his heists, he was exposed to some mysterious chemicals which left him with the mental ability to create actual objects from the chemicals. When he got back from the robbery, he tattooed himself using the chemicals so he would always have the chemicals near him. Some of the shapes he was able to conjure from his tattoos were an axe, shield, cannon, and dragon.
The Tattooed Man #2
AKA: Mark Richards
Homeworld: EarthMark Richards was a former U.S. Marine who went missing after a helicopter crash and presumed dead until he showed up in Gotham City as a hit man. He claimed that the tattoos covering his body were the sins of men he had killed, and that by the art of "sin-grafting", which he had learned from the nation of Modora, in which he takes the sins of others and puts them on himself, he claimed to be redeeming the men and women he killed. All his victims had tattoos of their sins. He was eventually stopped by Green Lantern and Batman. In Brightest Day event, Mark appears as a member of Deathstroke's new team of Titans He is convinced to join by Deathstroke who offers to help him track down Slipknot, the person responsible for murdering his son.After a breakout at Arkham Asylum, Richards was about to leave his team until Deathstroke reveals that he has captured Slipknot for him.[ Deathstroke allows the two to fight to the death, with Richards winning after he beheads Slipknot. After this act, Richards quits Deathstroke's team, declaring that he is done with killing. When Richards returns to Liberty Hill, he discovers his old neighborhood is afraid of him and the gangbangers have forced citizens and even the police themselves to clean up the area. His former assistant explains to him that they have taken control of the community and made a fortune for themselves through crime. Richards was then confronted by Vixen who believed that he was responsible for the acts of violence committed by his former thugs. Vixen rescinds her offer of Justice League membership and attacks Richards. After a brutal fight, Vixen willingly surrenders and Richards agrees to leave her and take care of his neighborhood in his own way. Richards later rejoins Deathstroke's Titans. Upon returning to the labyrinth, Deathstroke reveals to them that the items the Titans collected were used to form a healing machine called the "Methuselah Device", intended to restore his dying son, Jericho. After healing Jericho, Deathstroke declares that the machine can also resurrect the dead, including Richards' son. Richards initially accepts but after Cinder declares the Methuselah Device a curse, he joins her and Arsenal in fighting the other Titans to destroy the it. After Cinder sacrifices herself to destroy the Methuselah Device, Richards returns home.
The Weaponers of Qward
Homeworld: QwardThe eternal enemies of the Green Lantern Corps. The Weaponers are a race of aliens who inhabit Qward, a planet in the Anti-Matter Universe that occupies the same space that Oa does in the positive universe. They are known for their ingenious skill at creating devastating weapons, such as the lightning-like Qwa-bolts, the Void Hound starship, the black rings of their short-lived Anti-Green Lantern Corps, and even the yellow rings of the Sinestro Corps.The Qwardians have suffered under numerous conquerors, including the Anti-Monitor, the Crime Syndicate of Antimatter-Earth, and the Sinestro Corps. Their own leader holds the title of Highlord. The greatest Weaponers include Highlord Roval, the Weaponer (who created Sinestro's ring), and the caste of warriors called the Thunderers.
- Always Chaotic Evil: Apparently they worship evil.
- Recently it seems they don't fit this.
- Big Bad: The Qwardians were the main antagonists in the Silver Age, with Sinestro as The Dragon.
- The Dragon: To The Anti-Monitor in later stories.
- Genius Bruiser: The Weaponer
- Proud Warrior Race Guy
- Rubber-Forehead Aliens: They're basically humans with oversized eyes.
A warlord from the unmapped reaches of space beyond Sector 3600, Zardor desires conquest and has allied with Krona to achieve his ends. By abducting psychics to boost his own mental powers, he can clairvoyantly view events in distant sectors, and has used his psychic powers to mentally dominate numerous Green Lanterns. The first Earth Green Lantern to fight him was Guy Gardner.
- Eye Scream: Has his snakes gouge out the eyes of his psychic captives in order to focus their "mind's eye".
- People Puppets
- Psychic Powers

Pros: Great practice at anger management, learning to deal with boldface lies & being jaded from buying things online.
Cons: The other reviewers said everything that needs to be said. I will add that they advertised this as three to sell as many units as they could. Very shady. Newegg was very helpful at helping get a resolution. Thanks Chad!!READ FULL REVIEW

This review is from: NETGEAR WGR614 Wireless-G Broadband Router 802.11b/g up to 54Mbps/ 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port x4
Pros: Well it does exactly what it's supposed to. Never had any issues with disconnects, has good range, small footprint, and very very easy to install.
Cons: For some reason I can't get it to open my NAT for Xbox Live and PSN so it somewhat limit's the people you can play against. But it's really not a huge problem since there are so many people online you still find plenty of matches.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Antec Gaming Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0
Pros: I had this case for a while and everything with this case was perfect until I mounted the video card. This case is built really solid, has great cooling, and isn't that loud considering the massive fans.
Cons: If you plan to use any of the newer bigger video card's then you won't be able to use this case. My Nvidia 285GTX was literally pressing up on the hard drive cage and unles you have a modular power supply you have nowhere to hide the wires so you have bad air flow in the case and it look's really messy. It is also a hassle to change out anything in this case because of all the screws but I guess I just prefer a tool less design like in my new case. This is a great case if you don't plan to use any of the new massive cards but I would highly suggest going with a full tower if you want to run a newer card or plan to run SLIREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ADESSO WKB-4100UB Black USB 2.4 GHz RF Wireless SlimTouch Ergo Touchpad Keyboard - Retail
Pros: Its got a great range, the media controls are really nice to have, the hot keys are a great feature, the touch pad is nice when it works right, really good battery life, and it has a great range.
Cons: My main complaint about this keyboard is the keys are garbage. Sometimes they won't respond without a very hard firm press and even then they still won't work. Its takes a little getting use to with the layout because of how they angled the keyboard but after a couple days I was able to use it just fine. The touchpad isn't all that great either. Sometimes it will really lag and get really jumpy and it's hard to use. I've accidentally dragged and dropped many files in other folders by accident because of this keyboard.
Other Thoughts: If you really want a good keyboard I would suggest getting a blue tooth dongle and getting the PS3 keyboard since it will work on a PC as well. It's a far superior keyboard to this.READ FULL REVIEW

at last
At the end of a
disappointing series of knock ups over the last 3
months, Horton Grange has started to produce some
quality fish. Tommy Smith caught 7 quality
roach for 2lb 6oz and Brendan Heslop caught a
smaller stamp of fish for 1lb 8oz. Even Keith
Melnyk got in on the act with a 4½oz skimmer.
The secret is not to fish too far out. Maggot
is all you need. Brendan stayed on after

roach from peg 39 at 5 metres out.

Capcom Announces Monster Hunter G (Yes, G) For Wii
Direct port of 2005 PS2 title to release in Spring.
In a surprising, if Capcom-esque move, the company has announced a port of Monster Hunter G for Wii via the pages of Famitsu. First released in January 2005 for the PlayStation 2, MHG was an incremental upgrade to the original Monster Hunter from 2004 (seen above), adding G-Level Quests and a new weapon class. The Wii edition, to be released in Spring, will be an almost direct port: Control will use the Classic Controller exclusively, although minor upgrades such as a 16:9 widescreen mode and the ability to send items purchased from shops directly to your home will be added. Fees for online play, if any, have not yet been announced.
This port begs several questions: If MHG is slated for Spring, does that mean Monster Hunter 3 tri~ won't be arriving until late in the year? Will there be a Wii port of MH2G as well? Will one of them come with an MH3 demo? Time will tell.

Japan OnlyPosted: Dec 28, 2008 12:00AM PST by Nate401
Don't get your hopes up everybody. Capcom just announced that it's only for Japan. They do that alot. I kind of find their forums a bummer. Every MH announcement is Japan only. I kknow their routine by now. "If it come to America it will be over one year from now".

F*** you nintendo and your port system
Oh CapcomPosted: Dec 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by JunkieMonkey
I hope they retail this game around the $29.99 - $39.99 considering it's a port. I have the original for the PS2 and MH Freedom for the PSP and it's one of the game I play the most. If you like Phantasy Star type of game then you'll love this. Next Gen or not the game's graphic and gameplay hold its own. I know a ton of "next gen" games that can't compare to this at all. Nice graphic and all that jazz doesn't hide the fact that a game is shallow and repetitive. While this will look great in HD I can live with a Wii version until MH 3. What's up with the exclusive classic control Capcom? Give us more option damn you.
@ Abercombieo2Posted: Dec 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by BlueBowser7
lol Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like an ass or anything, Im just saying, people bash a really good system for no good reasons most of the time, I know the Wii has some things to work on, but most people won't even give it a chance. Like I said, didn't mean to sound like a dick. Oh, BTW... The Wii is a next-gen console, just different than the other two...
"Will use exclusively the classic controller"Posted: Dec 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by KillerJuan77
I don't like that, why not some controls like the ones in NMH?!
@BlueBowser7Posted: Dec 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by abercrombieco2
woah take a chill pill , its just an opionon what did you see some one didn't like the wii and you thought i gotta say hes an idiot for not liking the wii? sorry but belive it or not not every one enjoys the wii, i mean i'm sure it can be fun, but no one wants to play every game with the wii mote controls. as for monster hutner i think it was a big mistake to not make a next gen ver of the game on ps3/360. for my self i am an adult so i like mature games , does that mean i can't enjoy non mature games , i can enjoy non mature games that don't have blood. the main reason why i don't own a wii is because the games just don't apeal to me , i would probally own a few games and that is probally about it.
To SolidpumaPosted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by Sinfullyvannila
You do realize these games have only come out for PS2/PSP so far right? It's not like they came out with one for 360/PS3 and are releasing a watered down port. ANother thing for all you Wii hater, you have to realize that Capcom is a third party developer, it's the video game BUSINESS, they'd be doing their shareholders and fans an injustice by releasing it on a system that has anything less than the highest penetration rate.
I DISSAGREE WITH SOLIDPUMAPosted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by BlueBowser7
solidpuma is your typical Wii hater dumbass that still thinks the Wii is a toy, just cause he's too fuckin stupid to appreciate something different, I guess if it's not bloody and sharp it's not a game, there's nothing worst than those dumb players that call themselves hardcore but they didn't really start playing games till after the PS1 or so, they just don't know any better and they don't realize that games can be fun without having to be violent or have cinematic graphics.... wake up people!
Classic controller for me.Posted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by Jesse_Dylan
Waggle controls, ironically the main selling point of the Wii, turn me off entirely unless they're extremely subtle like in Mario Galaxy.
Considering that...Posted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by Super_Joe_85
The Wii has been out for 2 yrs, has a huge install base & Nintendo are known for providing some of the best development tools in the industry. It's a frigging crying shame the lack of good games & a reliance on old PS2 ports. The Wii will go down as one of the best selling consoles of our time but I highly doubt it will ever be known as a legendary console like the PS1/2 & Snes.
Really?Posted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by shadow_logic
'Capcom will use the classic controller almost exclusively...' I just lost any minor interest I had in this game. Why the hell would you force anyone to use that? This is a Wii game, and people will buy it assuming it plays with the Wiimote, like a game should. I hate the classic controller, it's uncomfortable as hell and quite possibly the worst controller design I've ever seen (NES controllers were more comfortable than this thing). At least throw in a control set for the Gamecube controller if nothing else.
Wii so next gen.... lolPosted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by solidpuma
Capcom announced the 3 for the wii to cut down development cost and do a low poli, low rez game and just cash in.
The wii made us lose the real sequel and upgrade of the franchise.
Shame on Capcom and anyone that bought the Wii toy.

After getting it's butt kicked by steller titles like MOTORSTORM 2, GEARS OF WAR 2, RESISTANCE 2, LBP, WIPEOUT HD, DEAD SPACE, PRINCE OF PERSIA, FALLOUT 2, and many others, the Wii once again gets the OLD end of the gaming stick. yet another 3 year old port. what a sorry CHRISTMAS being a wii owner will be, well , thank god for the PLAYSTATION 3.
I liked MH on PSP, but...Posted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by jellishot
I'm waiting for that next step for the series. I feel like Capcom's doing the same thing to MH that they did to Street Fighter years ago. Just get to number 3, dammit! Then get to work on a PS3/360 version, because something tells me that part 3 won't be that revolutionary anyway (hope I'm wrong).
Most likely getting it.Posted: Dec 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by SATURO__CEN2

CEDAR PARK, Texas – The Texas Stars, proud American Hockey League affiliate of the Dallas Stars, announced today that center Travis Morin has been selected by the AHL as the CCM/AHL Player of the Month for October.
Morin notched a point in each of his nine games played during the month and leads the AHL in goals (8, tied), assists (11) and points (19).
Morin began the his seventh professional season with a four-point night – tying his AHL career high – to help the Stars to a 4-1 win over Chicago on Oct. 5. He scored two goals, including one on a penalty shot, and added an assist in a 6-0 victory over San Antonio on Oct. 19, and recorded a goal and three assists for another four-point effort in a 9-3 decision over Abbotsford on Oct. 20. Morin, who had five multiple-point games on the month, also compiled a plus-9 rating, tied for second in the AHL.
Morin, who has now tallied a point in 16 consecutive regular-season contests (12g, 18a) going back to last year, has figured in the scoring of more than half of the Stars' 36 goals this season. The native of Brooklyn Park, Minn., has skated in 293 career AHL games with Texas and Hershey, totaling 75 goals and 152 assists for 227 points, and he is the Stars franchise's all-time leading scorer with 226 points in a Texas uniform. Drafted by Washington in 2004, Morin signed with the Dallas Stars on July 12, 2010.
In recognition of his achievement, Morin will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Stars home game.

Thin is in for Dell displays; too bad they aren't referring to the bezel
Subject: Displays | January 4, 2012 - 05:14 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: dell, S2330MX, 23, tn led
The Dell S2330MX 23" LED monitor is advertised as a thin display but not in the dimensions most people hope. The screen body its self is a hair under 10mm thick which significantly reduces its footprint on your desk. Unfortunately for you multi-monitor gamers out there the bezel remains the same size and will interfere with your view. On the plus side, Hardware Canucks found it for sale for under $200 which makes it quite a good deal for a thin LED monitor. On the other hand, as you might guess from that low price this is a TN based display and apparently not a particularly good example as they saw evidence of ghosting and frustrating colour quality issues.
"When it comes to consumer electronics, thin is in and Dell is leading the way with their new svelte S2330MX monitor. At just 9.9mm thick it will likely be the center of attention but on paper it also boasts some great specifications as well: an efficient LED panel, full HD resolution, a great price and response times of 2ms. It sure sounds like the 2330MX has what it takes to compete with the competition but there's more to this monitor than what first meets the eye."

The EIZO DuraVision FDH3601 is a 4k x 2k Display, and We Want It
Subject: Displays | December 18, 2011 - 11:44 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: eizo, 4k, FDH3601
I have to admit to you all, there isn't much in the world of computer hardware that I really really want at any given time. Sure, there are new graphics cards like the pending AMD Radeon HD 7000 series and new CPUs like Intel's Sandy Bridge-E, but in truth, after more than a decade of seeing hardware releases, I pretty much know what to expect.
Imagine my surprise (and my wife's disappointment) when I found an incredibly gorgeous monitor that I simply must have, but is sadled with a ~$30,000 price tag.
You are looking at the EIZO DuraVision FDH3601 - a monitor with a resolution of 4096 x 2160 with a diagonal length of 36-in. That equates to a pixel density of 128.6 PPI (pixels per inch) compared to your standard 24-in 1080p monitor with a PPI of 91.7.
At a recent event I got to have some hands on time with one of these badass monitors and I have to say I was incredibly impressed with the image quality it provided. It was running Dirt 3 at the native 4096x2160 resolution and the game has never looked as crisp as it did then. While it didn't eliminate it, this kind of resolution would really make a dent in the need for higher quality AA algorithms.
Here you can see Windows 7 running at the same resolution...
To connect this monitor to any modern graphics hardware on your PC it requires a pair of dual-link DVI connections or a pair of DisplayPort connections in order to have enough bandwidth for peak refresh rates. The monitor is definitely not a thin device but for being one of the first 4K displays available to consumers, we'll gladly accept the depth.
If you want drool over these specs as well, you can head over to the EIZO website. Alternatively, if you would like to purchase one as a holiday gift for me, just send me an email and I'll give you my address!!
Apple May Bring High Pixel Density Displays To MacBook Pro Notebooks
Subject: Displays, Mobile | December 14, 2011 - 04:40 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mobile, macbook, apple
Apple pulled off a four times increase in pixel density on it's smartphone displays with the iPhone 4 which they dubbed the "Retina Display." Meanwhile the company's current 13" MacBook Pro is shackled to a 1280x800 display with an approximate pixel density of 116 pixels per inch. The low resolution (especially vertically) can make reading web pages or working with large documents a hassle as it involves quite a bit of scrolling up and down. New rumors; however, suggest that the Cupertino based company may be looking to step up the display resolution in the next iteration of the MacBook lineup. Allegedly, Digitimes has heard from "sources in the upstream supply chain" that the displays will have as high as a 2880x1800 resolution (and an approximate 261.25 PPI). Pretty impressive for a 13" display!
The current MBP
Whether we will actually see new MacBook models release with such a display remains to be seen; however, it would certainly be a welcomed move as the computer display innovation market has been rather stagnant for the past few years, even going so far as to go backwards in ~24" monitors from 1200 vertical pixels to the now standard 1920x1080 resolution. Perhaps this move by Apple will entice other monitor manufacturers to step up their game and bring 4K gaming to the PC, eventually. Heck, while we are on the topic of monitor tech traveling laterally instead of forward, what ever happened to that curved display from Alienware? Personally, I'm rooting for Apple on this one as the monitor market could use a wake up call!
HD Projectors are fun, 3D HD projectors more so
Subject: Displays | December 7, 2011 - 02:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: 3d display, projector, 1080p, optima, optima hd33
In the interests of dispensing with the bad news first, buying an Optima HD33 3D projector will set you back $1500 and does not come with glasses. On the other hand, thanks to the Texas Instruments 1080p DLP chipset you get full HD resolution image of up to 300" (aka 25') at 1800 ANSI Lumens. It is active 3D so the projector ships with an RF emitter for the necessary 3D glasses, which are battery powered. Techware Labs found that the batteries would last about 2 hours before they started to show problems, at that point requiring a 30 minute recharge time over a USB cable. It supports all HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D formats, so you have your choice of 3D glasses to purchase which is good as the projector does not ship with 3D glasses in the box. Optoma sells the BG-ZD101 DLP Link 3D Glasses separately for about $75 each.
Didn't I see this in a recent game sequel?
"Optoma's HD33 projector which is a full 3D 1080P projector gets reviewed by TechwareLabs. Through a full 90 day review we were very impressed with the Optoma HD33 projector and were very reluctant to ship it back. The Optoma is a very well designed, very bright and sharp projection. The very simple option and use made the setup and usage ever so simple. All you need is a wall big enough to project on and 3D content."

This post over at The Tech Report starts by describing a situation that anyone reading this familar with, how staring at a PC for 8+ hours a day takes a toll on your eyes. So, is it possible that the Gunnar Optiks Computer Glasses could save you some eye ache? It certainly sounds like it from the positive comments these glasses garnered in the review, by a reviewer that is not used to wearing any glasses at all. They are intended for the long haul, as your eyes will need a bit of time to adjust to the glasses, so you won't notice anything during a quick 5 minute email session you might find your eyes much happier after the 5th hour of gaming. As well, The Tech Report warns against using these glasses with Photoshop as the yellow tint to the glasses will have an effect on the colours you perceive. Shame about the logo as well.
"Does staring at a computer screen for hours on end strain your eyes and give you headaches? Gunnar's computer glasses might help. TR's David Morgan tries on a pair in his latest blog post, with surprising results."

Dell's new 24" UltraSharp IPS display
Subject: Displays | October 27, 2011 - 03:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: dell, UltraSharp U2412M, 24", ips display
IPS panels have tended to be expensive ino the past but as the technology has matured the prices have been going down and quality has been increasing. At Hardware Canucks you can see an example of this in the 1920x1200 24" Dell UltraSharp U2412M. As this is a new generation IPS display, its response time comes close to a TN's at 6ms although the price of just under $400 is not quite in the ballpark of a TN monitor. The overall conclusion was good, as the colours and viewing angle met expectations though there was some evidence of ghosting in both movies and gaming thanks to the slow gray to gray latency. Not enough to sour those Beavers; they think its a Dam Good Value.
"By offering a reasonably large, high quality 16:10 IPS panel at a price point which is infinitely more palatable than the U27 or U30 series, the U24s have always been considered a great value. The all new U2412M, hopes to continue this enviable tradition by offering exactly what first time professional consumers want, at a price which undercuts many other IPS-based offerings."

You don't have 3D Vision 2? Loser.
In conjunction with GeForce LAN 6 current taking place on the USS Hornet in Alameda, NVIDIA is announcing an upgrade to the lineup of 3D Vision technologies. Originally released back in January of 2009, 3D Vision was one of the company's grander attempts to change the way PC gamers, well, game. Unfortunately for NVIDIA and the gaming community, running a 3D Vision setup required a new, much more expensive display as well as some glasses that originally ran $199.
While many people, including myself, were enamored with 3D technology when we first got our hands on it, the novelty kind of wore off and I found myself quickly back on the standard panels for gaming. The reasons were difficult to discern at first but it definitely came down to some key points:
- Cost
- Panel resolution
- Panel size
- Image quality
The cost was obvious - having to pay nearly double for a 3D Vision capable display just didn't jive for most PC gamers and then the need to have to purchase $200 glasses made it even less likely that you would plop down the credit card. Initial 3D Vision ready displays, while also being hard to find, were limited to a resolution of 1680x1050 and were only available in 22-in form factors. Obviously if you were interested in 3D technology you were likely a discerning gamer and running at lower resolutions would be less than ideal.
The new glasses - less nerdy?
Yes, 24-in and 1080p panels did come in 2010 but by then much of the hype surrounding 3D Vision had worn off. To top it all off, even if you did adopt a 3D Vision kit of your own you realized that the brightness of the display was basically halved when operating in 3D mode - with one shutter of your glasses covered at any given time, you only receive half the total output from the screen leaving the image quality kind of drab and washed out.

Panel Self Refresh; a new way to save power
Subject: Displays | September 30, 2011 - 01:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: mobile, low power, panel self refresh
The idea behind Panel Self Refresh is a sound one, when displaying static images there is no need for the GPU portion of your processor to be refreshing it at full speed. If you simply leave the displayed image in the frame buffer you can turn off the GPU and get significant power savings. It will not help when you are streaming media but if you are reading emails or a pdf file or even browsing pictures, you should see some extension to the life of your battery. Hardware Secrets describes the technology in their article here.
"Manufacturers are always looking for innovative ways to save battery life on laptops. With the embedded DisplayPort 1.3 interface (eDP 1.3), VESA, the Video Standards Association behind DisplayPort, came up with a new idea, the Panel Self Refresh (PSR). Let's see how it works."

HP Introduces Sub-$200 IPS Monitor, Updates Other IPS Displays
Subject: Displays | September 14, 2011 - 11:19 AM | Matt Smith
Tagged: ips monitor, ips display, hp monitor, hp ips, hp display, hp
IPS displays were once a highly sought but also relatively rare consumer product. Only Dell and Apple have consistently offered consumer displays featuring the technology. Other companies, such as NEC, have built such products with a focus on the office rather than the home.
That's been changing, however, as the overall price of displays continues to stay low and consumer expectations for display quality are impacted by the use of smartphones and tablets. ASUS and LG now have small affordable IPS displays on the market, and HP is joining the crowd with its updated line of ZR-Series "performance displays."
HP has announced 20", 21.5", 24" and 27" models. The ZR2040w, the smallest of the new entries, will debut with an impressively modest price tag of $189 and resolution of 1600x900. Connectivity options include DisplayPort, DVI and VGA. Available today from HP.com, it is the second least expensive IPS monitor on the market, trailing just behind the $179 ASUS ML239H. This should be an awesome development for enthusiasts in need of a small, high-quality display, particularly if the quality is on par with HP's larger products.
Resolution of the ZR-Series goes up in size with the 21.5", 24" and 27" products offering a resolution of 1920x1080, 1920x1200 and 2560x1440, respectively. MSRP is $289, $425 and $729, respectively.
The 22" and 24" displays are updates to models previously available in the United States. The updated versions announced today are similar to their predecessors in both specifications and price, with the exception of the HDMI port, which wasn't previously included. If it were my money, I'd go for the ZR2440w – the ZR24w was excellent, and the HDMI port on the new model makes it ready for use with a wider variety of video cards.
Also included in this announcement is the HP Compaq LE2202x, a 21.5" LED backlit monitor. While it offers a resolution of 1920x1080, it does not feature IPS technology. It also lacks HDMI, which would seem to indicate that it leans towards use in an office environment.'

Viewsonic attempts to entice you to buy their 3D display
Subject: Displays | September 13, 2011 - 01:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: viewsonic, 3d display, V3D245
The Viewsonic V3D245 is a 24" LED monitor with a 1080p resolution that will let you play in 3D without needing to pick up extra peripherals. The display will work equally well with both PCs and consoles and most importantly the active glasses are included with the monitor. You provide the signal and the display will give you 3D gaming. Drop by Ars Technica for a closer look.
"That being said, ViewSonic wants to make you a deal. If you give them $500, they'll give you a 24" monitor for your PC and gaming consoles that does 3D like a champ. There is nothing extra to hook up, nothing to be added; it's an all-in-one solution that does 3D as well as anything I've seen on the market. At $500, this display isn't cheap, but the quality is such that you'll be happy about spending the money."
