Rating: 100/100 I know I suffer from the blinders of growing up in the Age of Ray Ray, but Kyle really touched something deep within me that no other Lantern can or likely ever will. Green Lanterns are all about having great willpower and being chosen due to their penchant for overcoming great fear. Kyle was chosen because he was there. And yet, over time, Kyle has demonstrated that sometimes creativity trumps any other emotion. Hal Jordan would use a boxing glove to repel an asteroid from Earth. Kyle would use a baseball player replete with an umpire and a home plate. John Stewart would make a crutch if he broke his leg. Kyle Rayner summons up two sexy green nurses to help him around. It's his wicked and irreverent mind that never stops moving that makes Kyle so great on first blush, but over time, you realize that Kyle is the voice of someone with fear facing the superheroes all around him. He questions running head long into danger. He wrestles with the morality of his actions. He doesn't initially care about or comprehend the legacy of the Lantern Corps. And, to me, that makes him so wonderful. Kyle has to grow into the role of a hero, while others seem to be born fully fledged to wear a cape and cowl. And that struggle makes Kyle matter. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful ... Copied to Clipboard! |
