At the time, Green Lantern Stel pursues a member of the Sinestro Corps, but is given pause when he crosses into the Vega system for sanctuary. Larfleeze is enraged at this perceived violation of the agreement he has with the Guardians, as he is unable to see a distinction between them and the Controllers. As soon as they try to take it, the Controllers are overcome by Larfleeze’s Orange Lanterns and are slaughtered. The Controllers follow the orange light to Okaara where they descend into an underground palace and eventually come across the orange lantern power battery deep inside. They soon became interested in pursuing a comparable power source to the green light that they’ve discovered: the orange light.

4, issue #28 (April 2009), the Controllers are shown discussing their previous failures in forming a force matching the Green Lantern Corps. Agreeing to these terms, the two guild members fought to the death for the right to own the orange light, and Larfleeze emerged victorious. Larfleeze explained that the Guardians were desperate to get the box back because it contained the fear entity Parallax. Then secondly, for the safety of others, only one of the two thieves would be allowed to keep the orange light for themselves.

First, as long as the orange light remained within the Vega system, the Guardians would agree not to interfere with it. Fearing the power of the orange light, the Guardians offered the two surviving guild members (Larfleeze and Turpa) a deal: in exchange for the mysterious box, the Guardians would trade the orange light with two additional conditions. The Guardians and Manhunters who tried were incinerated by the Orange Light of Avarice. Eventually the Guardians and their Manhunters found them, however, because of its proximity to Larfleeze and the others, the Guardians could not get within reaching distance of the box. Feeling its power “speak” to them, the criminals fought amongst themselves for it. There they discovered a temple, inside of which was a Power Battery containing the orange light of avarice. The guild followed the map into the Vega System to the planet Okaara. Those that escaped discovered a map belonging to the Guardian Krona that told of treasure. In retaliation, the Guardians of the Universe sent their Manhunters to pursue them. This cruelty and deprivation deeply affected Larfleeze, who at some point escaped and became a wanted criminal, along with several of his species.īillions of years ago, Larfleeze belonged to a small guild of thieves which stole a number of artifacts from the planet Maltus, including a mysterious box supposedly worth an entire star system to the right buyer.

His time as a slave was cruel and harsh: his cruel and sadistic masters starved Larfleeze and his fellow slaves in order to weed out those too weak to work in the hellish conditions they were forced to toil in. He was taken from his parents for reasons yet to be revealed and forced to work as a slave.

Little is known about his past except that he comes from an incredibly long-lived species, as Larfleeze is said to be over several billion years old. Larfleeze (also known as Agent Orange to those who wield power from the emotional spectrum) is the first and for a long time the only individual to wield the power of the orange light. Now we are going to talk about Larfleeze aka agent orange, and the orange lanterns.
