Major Story Arcs Rage's Red Lightįor More Information: Rage Of The Red Lanterns The first Red LanternĪfter the Sinestro Corps War years later, Atrocitus came to realize a new source of power that would grant not just an escape from Ysmault but his revenge, as well. He cemented his power by Christening his Red Lantern in the blood of his fellow Inversion, Qull.

After the Genocide of his people, he blindly sought revenge on the Guardians, torturing and killing several, as well as killing indiscriminately if it meant furthering his goals.Ītrocitus' pure and undying rage over the destruction of his homeworld, and the slaughter of his family allowed him to become the first Red Lantern. He lived with his wife and daughter until The Manhunters razed the entirety of Sector 666, Ryut included. Character EvolutionĪt the beginning of his life, Atros was a family man and a Psychologist on the planet of Ryut. Although chronologically Atrocitus would have made his first appearance during the story ' Secret Origins' in Green Lantern #29. Atrocitus made his first comic book appearance in Green Lantern #25. CreationĪtrocitus was created by Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver. Sinestro disregarded the prophecy at the time, but Atrocitus succeeded in planting the seeds of fear in Sinestro that would see to his eventual downfall as a Green Lantern. His home world of Korugar would descend into violent chaos as he focused on other worlds, and it would all spin out of his control. But before the Green Lantern left, Atrocitus and his fellow Inversions had a prophecy for him. Sinestro returned Atrocitus to Ysmault and renewed his crucifixion. Stunned, he was rendered unconscious by Sinestro, who triumphantly proclaimed himself the greatest Green Lantern. He nearly killed Sinestro with a yellow crane and would have succeeded if Hal Jordan not surprisingly overcome the yellow weakness to stop him. The two Green Lanterns managed to recharge their rings and catch up to him in time, but he was still a physical match for their power. With them no longer a threat to him, he continued his pursuit of William Hand. He used his cosmic divining rod on them to drain the power from their rings. In finding William Hand, he was in turn found by two Green Lanterns, Sinestro and a rookie Hal Jordan. He also constructed a cosmic divining rod to contain the power. He used his blood rituals to discover it was to be found in a human named William Hand. He fatally wounded Abin Sur then fled the free-falling ship, by jumping out and falling from the Earth's atmosphere to the ground.Ītrocitus survived the fall and committed himself to locating the source of the black power on Earth.

In transit, Atrocitus exploited the fear these dark prophecies had infected Abin Sur with to free himself from his restraints. Abin Sur took him from the planet against orders of the Guardians, traveling to Earth to use Atrocitus to help him find the source of this black power that was prophesied to consume the universe. However, Qull's manipulations of the Green Lantern did aid Atrocitus in being released from Ysmault. Much later, Atrocitus was outraged with his associate Qull for revealing the prophecy of the Blackest Night to the Green Lantern Abin Sur. Through rituals and sacrifices, they discovered a black power so dark it was beyond the power of the Guardians' light. However, the demons were still far from powerless. When the Guardians decided to rid the universe of magic to make way for order, the Empire crumbled and the Five Inversions were imprisoned and crucified on the planet Ysmault to serve out a long sentence for the crimes they had committed.

Over time, the demons would build themselves a strong following of worshipers and become known as the Empire of Tears. These five became the terrorists known as the Five Inversions, led by Atrocitus, and sought revenge against the Guardians of the Universe and gained powers through dark magic. The being known as Atrocitus (real name Atros) was born on planet Ryut, and was a survivor of the infamous Massacre of Sector 666, during which the Manhunters wiped out the life in an entire space sector (including his wife and his daughter) except for five life forms.
