"The Green Lantern Corps exists to promote order and justice throughout the universe."
Guardian

GL Corps

Members of the Green Lantern Corps.

The Green Lantern Corps was created by the Guardians of the Universe as an intergalactic, peacekeeping police force.

History

The Guardians created the Green Lantern Corps to replace the Manhunter Robots as their force to maintain order in the universe.

At least one Green Lantern is known to have gone rogue, Sinestro of Korugar; several of his fellow Corpsmen, including John Stewart, were called into action to strip Sinestro of his power ring, prompting the former Green Lantern to swear a blood oath against the Corps.

The Green Lanterns have a legend that it's impossible to see the beginning of time.[1]

Several decades into the future, young Kai-Ro acts as the Green Lantern for space sector 2814 while serving in the Justice League Unlimited alongside Stewart's son, Warhawk.

According to Emerald Empress, Green Lanterns were a rare presence in the 30th century.[2]

The Legion of Super-Heroes presumably took over the responsibilities from the Green Lantern Corps.

Powers

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light.
"
— Oath of the Green Lanterns.

Each Green Lantern is provided with a Power ring and power battery which allows each Lantern to channel power from the central battery on the planet Oa. Rings must be recharged regularly, or they will run out of power. What the ring can do is limited only by the willpower and imagination of its user. Common uses include flight, energy beams, energy constructs, force fields, and communication. The ring also produces a green aura that can protect its user from the vacuum of space or the depths of the ocean.
