Character Spotlight - Scar

Now while it might seem that the renegade Guardian, Scar is a complete *****, we must note that this is not the characters motivations. Most of us are familiar with what she is doing and her reasons. Here I would just like to go through her character and examine what is exactly going on with someone who is from The Oldest Race of living beings in The Universe.

Scar, as it is obvious, is from Maltus just like the other Guardians. She claims to have lived for a Billion years (which is odd as I think the only one who should say that is Ganthet, did the rest not die in Emerald Twilight or is this another Geoff-Con ? ). She has been a Guardian from the times of The failed Manhunters to The Sinestro Corps War. She, just like the Other Guardians excluding Ganthet have played small roles and nothing specifically but as a Unit. Her major appearance which was on Earth during the Sinestro Corps War when The Yellow Lanterns faced The Green On Earth in an attempt to take down the Multiverse, a secret which was not known to all. The Sinestro Corps also had heavy hitters on their side, The Anti-Monitor , Superboy-Prime, The Cyborg Superman and The Manhunters along with Parallax. The Guardians who had till that time been passive players in battle, suddenly got into battle and took on The Anti Monitor as shown below....

The Guardians Actively at War.

The Guardians had already lost on of their own to Superboy-Prime (One of them committed "suicide" in order to destroy him). The Anti-Monitor's touch burnt One of The Guardians and henceforth she was known as "Scar". Scar was injured grievously and since then she has made a sudden change in her views and her allegiances and is working against her own and her Corps.

She has worked behind the scenes reading The Book Of Black and seeing the futures of some of the Earth heroes (As seen in the Origins and Omens back up which ran in DC Comics in the early part Of Last Year). Scar was also instrumental in trapping one Of The Sinestro Corps members into The Book of Black (I forget her name , This happened in The Green Lantern Corps monthly). Scar has been a behind the scenes player in the escalation of The War Of Light. This was seen in both Rage Of The Red Lanterns, where she somehow got the Red lanterns to attack Sinestro and The Green Lanterns who were escorting him to Korugar for his execution for his crimes, and In Agent Orange, where she directly made The Green lanterns attack the Orange Lanterns and gave The Location Of The Blue Lantern home world to Larfleze.

The Fall Of Scar.

As Blackest Night came by, she revealed that she was working for The Lord of Death and that he was coming for peace in the Universe and that has always been his intention. Nekron is here to do what The Guardians could not and that is to have order. Hmmmm that was interesting. She was also On Earth during the birth of The First Black Lantern, William Hand. I wonder how she came to Earth without The other Guardians knowing, maybe that is something we assume she can hide without anyone knowing. As The Core series began, She revealed herself to her fellows and well It was grand........

Hearts !!

Scar, since then took over all the Guardians and had Ash and Sareek with them around The Black Lantern battery at Ryut on Sector 666. After that, she has also been directing all The Black Lantern Corps onto several of the home worlds. As soon as The levels hit 100%, Scar along with the rest transported themselves and The Battery to Earth as Nekron Rose.

Right, so that is Scar's Biography. Now I Think Scar is a Black Lantern and that Nekron somehow took her when she died of burns from The Anti-Monitor. I would rather see Scar have a heroic end to her but I have a sinking feeling that it is wishful thinking and it is much more Likely for the Rainbow Rodeo to blast her with their light and utter a One Liner. I really hope that won't be the end of her. I really like the character and her role in The Blackest Night has been small, unlike her heavy outside game-changer in the preludes, The latter issues will surely answer our queries. Thumbs Up to Geoff for creating a compelling and different kind of character.
