Somehow I'm reminded of Mark Waid's The Silver Age mini-series of 2000 or 2001, can't quite remember when; the bad guys used jewel kryptonite to defract the Central Power Battery and create power rings of every color.

With his red, yellow, and green rings, I think Mongol is going to start up . . . The Traffic Signal Corps!

Well, I don't know if the Yellow Ring would be aware of the negative influence of the Red Ring. The Guardians advised the Lanterns of the corruptive effect, not their rings, so it's certainly possible that the Ring wouldn't have been able to warn Mongul of that possibility.

However, assuming Mongul is aware of the corruptive influence, it's certainly possible that he is hoping that it will be offset. However, I think it's more likely that he just would want to collect anything that makes him more powerful.

I need a link to this!!! please point me in the right direction!!!!

You mean to the picture? That's here;

Or he could have gone to my post #29 which had the same link.

Yes, but not quite the same link. This was the pic itself, whereas yours also included the articule. You're just jealous cause no one gave you a power ring. Course, if Mongul dropped to one knee before you and pulled out a ring, I'd wish you all the happiness in the world and remind you, no one buys a cow when you give the milk away for free. So, wait till the honeymoon. And remember, make lots of grandkids. Good luck.

I am very interested to see where the story goes, but I'm curious to see how he is going to charge them.

Good point...they probably don't take American Express in space. But I understand Visa is everywhere you want to be.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, JTR, so I'll just say "Thank you".

If the grandkids are anything like one of their parents, they'll be fighting to see who gets control of the Empire, and in the process blow up the Earth. And tentacles would probably be involved.

Probably, but the real question is, who'd download the swiped tape of their love making that gets put up on the net?
First, it was Pam and Tommy, Then Paris and whoever, now, it's Mongul and Granite Moose. Where will it end?

You have to read what I said in the context of it being me backing up what you said, with a bit of an edition. How could you forget Mastercard and Discover card's?

You know, there's got to be someone around here who will write up a Mastercard style commercial for Mongul having the rings being "Priceless" and all.
