Light

As a deputy of the Corps, use the power of Will or Fear to create hard-light constructs and control or punish enemies.
The rings that grant the ability to create Hard Light Constructs are given to only a chosen few. In times of great crisis, however, the Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps may choose individuals to be reservists, thereby swelling the ranks of Light powered heroes and villains. Those who wield the power of Light are ideal front-line combatants dealing massive damage with imaginative constructs, or supporting their allies when the fight gets thickest.

Access to Light powers is available to members with an active subscription. Non-members may purchase access in the Marketplace for either 600 Daybreak Cash, 600 Marketplace Cash or 600 Loyalty Points.

Heroes wield the green power of Will, while villains use the yellow power of Fear. Specializing in Crowd Control abilities, Light is the game's seventh power.
