Trivia[]
- The symbol on the Black Lantern Corps is the same as that worn by the group's herald; the Black Hand.
- Black Lantern power rings are unable to resurrect an individual who died in a state of peace with themselves, such as the original Dove, Don Hall. They similarly can not steal the hearts of people able to balance their emotions in a peaceful white aura, as with the second Dove.
- Black Lanterns sense individuals through their emotions, as such they are unable to detect an individual who feels no emotion at all.
- Similar to zombies, the bite from a Black Lantern is capable of imparting an infection that slowly kills the victim and turns them into a new member of the Black Lantern Corps.
- Black Hand is the physical embodiment of death that empowers the Black Lantern Corps in the same manner that Ion is the embodiment of willpower for the Green Lantern Corps
