Quote 5

I’ve obsessed over a lot of stuff during my life, and one of the big ones has always been Superheroes. Sometimes it’s been Marvel (Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk, X-Men, Avengers, etc), and sometimes it’s been DC (Superman, Batman, Flash, Justice League, Teen Titans, etc). This quote here is one that any good fan of the DC universe should recognize. The rest of you it will probably mean nothing to, but I still like it, so I’m sharing it.

One of my favorite Superheroes has always been the Green Lantern. Basically, the Green Lanterns are a galaxy wide team of heroes that use magic rings to enforce justice…and they’re just possibly the most powerful heroes in the galaxy. Even Superman would be hard pressed to defeat a Green Lantern, which is why Earth is probably lucky that they’re usually on our side. Anyways, there have been quite a few prominent Green Lanterns in the comics (most people recognize Hal Jordon), but my favorite was John Stewart (no relation to the comedian host of The Daily Show) from the Justice League animated series. He was a big, handsome black man, and he had the sexiest damn voice I’ve ever heard outside of Keith David. My favorite part of the whole series was the first time he cried out the Green Lantern Oath in that deep, powerful voice of his. This has remained my favorite comic book quote of all time. Here it is for those of you unfamiliar with it!

“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!”

Probably doesn’t mean much to most of you, but to me these are words of inspiration. Yeah, I know, I’m a geek. And proud of it! Behold me geekyness, and stand in awe! icon_blaugh.gif Anyways, point is whenever I hear this quote I get a shiver of joy down my spine. It’s geeky, I know, but I like it. Maybe next Cool Vid I’ll like to a clip of him saying it, who knows? Again, might not mean much of anything to the uninitiated, but to those of you into comics and cartoons (Yo Bro!), you might get some entertainment out of it. See you all next time folks! icon_wink.gif
