DC Comics Universe & Post Justice League No Justice Spoilers: Ultraviolet Corps Joins The Green Lantern Corps & Rainbow Color Emotional Spectrum?

News

DC Comics Universe and Post Justice League No Justice Spoilers follows.

Ultraviolet Corps Joins The Green Lantern Corps (GLC) and Rainbow Color Emotional Spectrum in July 2018 (full spoilers here)? That happens in Justice League #3.

For folks unfamiliar, the emotional spectrum exists in the DC Comics universe where each color is matched with a different emotion, e.g. Green Lanterns possess superior will. These emotions provide energy and fuel the various Lantern Corps.

Here are the colors and matching emotions from an early issue of DC Comics Rebirth’s Green Lanterns #14 (full spoilers here).

Ultraviolet is defined as such on dictionary.com:

      ultraviolet
      /ˌʌltrəˈvaɪəlɪt/

      noun
      1. the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths shorter than light but longer than X-rays; in the range 0.4 × 10 –6 and 1 × 10 –8 metres
      adjective
      2. of, relating to, or consisting of radiation lying in the ultraviolet: ultraviolet radiation, UV

It is not perceptible to the human eye, but is extremely dangerous, so I am curious how this new spectrum “color” fits in DC’s mythology and whether it is derived from the Dark Multiverse in Dark Nights Metal #6 (full spoilers here) or from the breaking of the Source Wall from Justice League: No Justice #1 (full spoilers here).

I am intrigued.
