Star Sapphire Bio (Violet Lanterns)

Ah love. It’s a wonderful thing. “Love conquers all” they say, but is that true in the DC universe? On one of the far ends of the emotional spectrum is Violet. This color signifies love in the spectrum. With love, almost always, comes conflict (Sorry ladies) and with conflict can sometimes come war. In the Blackest Night it is unsure where the violets light stands, but have no fear where there is love there may be hope. Learn about the Star Sapphires, the violet light and the Zamarons after the jump.

The Zamarons

These are a race of women that splintered from the Guardians of the universe. They did not believe, as the Guardians, that they could only protect the universe if they were void of emotion. Instead they chose to embrace love. They choose a planet that had strange clusters of violet crystals. These crystals infect people with love more or less. After many experiments to control the crystals the Zamarons take a page from the Guardians play book and make a ring and power battery to control them. They call there corps the Star Sapphires.

Star Sapphires

In this corps it seems that only women are capable of great love.  Whenever love is in danger they are there to protect it. Sapphires can tether themselves to an area in a sector where love needs help. They can also tether themselves to the person that is putting love in jeopardy. It seems that if it is a woman causing the danger they are dealt with on the Zamaron home world and rehabilitated into becoming a Star Sapphire. They do not help men in the same way. It has yet to be seen, but I believe they deal with men in a far more strict capacity. It has been shown that if a Sapphire and a GL fall in love their joint power causes a chrysalis effect over the entire sector freezing all life forms in that moment and protecting them with love. Obviously no one wants that. Some members have revealed the ability to show others their true loves. Teleportation is also an ability they have. Because the violet light is on the far end of the spectrum the bearers of this light can be more influenced by the power than other corps.

The Oath

For hearts long lost and full of fright,
For those alone in blackest night,
Accept our ring and join our fight,
Love conquers all–
With violet light!

Some of the Sapphires are a bit over the top. We have seen a few that seemed to be in complete control of their abilities and really helped out some of the GL’s.  We don’t know where they stand in the war of light at this point, but in the great words of Lennon and McCartney “All you need is love”.
