She&#8217;ll be introduced post-Forever Evil as the Crime Syndicate&#8217;s Power Ring&#8217;s ring seeks out a new host and seeks out a very different kind of host for a very different kind of Lantern and chooses somebody, a brand new character we first hinted at her in Green Lantern #20, Jessica Cruz. She&#8217;ll become a pretty big player in the post-Forever Evil Justice League world. The Justice League aren&#8217;t the only super-team after her, for various reasons. I think it&#8217;s going to be a lot of fun when you see the character &#8212; and the continued interaction between Luthor and Batman &#8212; this brand new character is another wrench, along with Luthor and Cold, another wrench thrown into the mix of the Justice League team.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Geoff on the differences between Power Ring and Green Lantern bearers:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There&#8217;s a big difference between them. Obviously we saw Power Ring &#8212; can get a little over the top &#8212; but Harold Jordan from Earth-3 is a natural born coward. He was chosen by the ring because he&#8217;s easily manipulated and full of fear and the ring controls its host. It&#8217;s more of like a curse. We saw the ring affect Power Ring physically. With the Earth-3 Abin Sur, you can see what it did longterm when you wear the ring. The ring itself, it&#8217;s not all about willpower, it&#8217;s not channeling anything good. When you charge it, bad things happen. It charges in a very horrible way. All of that is going to befall a young woman we are going to introduce in the DC Universe who is going to be &#8220;chosen as the new lucky owner&#8221; of this ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I can say that the big differences are, when you boil it down, being chosen to be Green Lantern is a blessing, being chosen to be Power Ring is a curse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We all saw this coming, we just forgot it was coming during Forever Evil.
