Sinestro (Thaal Sinestro)

📖 Biography

Sinestro is Thaal Sinestro, a native of the planet Korugar and once the greatest member of the Green Lantern Corps. After abusing his authority to rule his homeworld through fear, he was expelled by the Guardians of the Universe. Believing that fear is a more effective force than willpower, he founded the Sinestro Corps and became one of the Green Lanterns' most formidable enemies. His brilliant leadership, tactical genius, and mastery of a yellow power ring have made him a constant threat to the DC Universe.
