#JESSICA CRUZ DEATH SERIES#

In the case of Jordan, Volthoom manipulates his host by playing on their fears and denigrating them. The entity inside the ring is later referred to as Volthoom. Unlike a green lantern ring that responds to the strong willpower of the user, the power ring holds a sentient being that controls the bearer. Power Ring destroys the yellow ring but not before it catches the attention of Sinestro, who pursues and eventually dispatches him. One of my favorite moments of “Forever Evil” involves Batman fighting him with a mostly drained yellow ring of fear. With all the power and none of the courage of a Lantern he reflexively attacks in fear of being attacked first and when faced with difficulty he runs. Opposite of this universe’s Hal Jordan, Power Ring is cripplingly cowardly. Harold Jordan is a member of the Crime Syndicate, an evil Justice League from an alternate reality. Jessica Cruz gets her start as Power Ring, not Green Lantern. Harold Jordan: Cruz’s Cowardly Predecessor After a glorious binge of “Forever Evil” and Justice League (2011) #30-50, I am convinced that Cruz’s genesis deserves an ode. There are a lot of comics between this foundation and her willpower baptism as one of Sector 2814’s newest Green Lanterns. “Forever Evil” does not actually have Jessica Cruz in it but the story is foundational to her origin.

I soon had an interesting series of revelations. I was triggered, though, by my girlfriend’s friend remarking that Jessica Cruz’s backstory “wasn’t even that good”. Partially through this delightfully fun event, I planned to write an editorial on said “Forever Evil” arc. I just subscribed to check out the Harley Quinn cartoon and Behold! They had my baby! Silly-stupid-head the third, I didn’t think to check DC Universe.

I drank the same amount that I always do I was just grumbling about wanting to read the crossover. Not being able to find them threw me into a whiskey-fueled despair. Talking to my girlfriend about Jessica Cruz inspired a frustrating search of my collection for “Forever Evil”.
