Compassion
Indigo Tribe
Former killers and criminals, forced to feel what their victims felt.
Key figures: Indigo-1, Abin Sur, Munk, Natromo
The Indigo Tribe is the most mysterious of the Corps. It was founded with the help of Abin Sur, the Green Lantern who gave Hal Jordan his ring, and most of its members were once murderers and monsters. The indigo light makes them feel compassion for everyone they've ever hurt.
The Tribe speaks its own language, carries staffs instead of wearing rings, and can channel the power of other Corps' rings nearby. Their leader, Indigo-1, was one of the first to be converted.
Where to start
- Blackest Night, where the Tribe steps out of the shadows.
- Green Lantern (2011), Geoff Johns' New 52 run, which reveals how the Tribe began.
