Are you ready for the emotional spectrum to go away?

What, no Sonar II?

Sonar II has no character, and sucks.

I rest my case.

He was doing some interesting revamps of the silver age villains. That is, until the emotional spectrum became popular and permanently sidetracked him. I liked his Tattoo Man, Hector Hammond, and The Shark. Too bad, I would have loved to have seen more. He never got to Goldface (not his Flash version), Evil Star, or Polaris.

And nobody EVER gives any love to The Lamplighter!

Didn't they show Evil Star once,or atleast his starlings?

Eh! Okay!

Yes, complete with a retcon. But then they weren't seen again until the crappy New 52 revamp.

I was all hyped for Sonar when they showed him in prison when they first brought Hal back. Yet another Goeff Story tease.

Yeah, he was supposed to do a story with Sonar I and Sonar II. Given the way a lot of Geoff stories go, presumably Sonar I would have killed Sonar II to become a bigger badass. Or something. Come to think of it... pretty much Kyle's entire rogues gallery was probably not-too-coincidentally wiped out under Geoff's watch.

About the main topic, the emotional spectrum is too rooted into things now to surgically just remove it, and the retcons necessary to do so would probably just make a bigger mess of things.

I were writing the title I just wouldn't use them. Give Guy and Kyle different assignments and then you wouldn't have to bother with them.

Not really a big loss, if he had. Kyle 's rogues gallery was pretty lame. He never really had an arch. The closest thing would probably be major force, and I don't think they fought that often.

Kyle had some great villains that were of course handicapped later on. Nero, Effigy (wish that Corps storyline had worked out), Fatality...

Isn't Fatality still around as a Star Sapphire? So she really doesn't count.
Nero was really only used for 20 issues I think, and then killed.
Same for Effiy.

I think Kyle had many rogues that were just created for a specific plot.

Fatality just seemed like an excuse to kill off ex-GLs and piss on the pre-Kyle stories. Man, don't dredge up those bad memories.

But...but...that's your schtick!

I never mention the Kyle years unless someone brings it up. But I'll damned sure mention the emotional spectrum.

Those guys were "Handicapped" from the get go. Fatality is okay,the name was stupid though.Spy makes a good point too. I always felt that Kyle needed a mirrior villian but always found the attempts were laughable at best.

If he ever goes back to being a Green Lantern again,hopefully the Sinestro Corps will still be in swing and we can find Kyle a good Counter ring wielder who has a legitmate gripe with Kyle.


I am not holding my breath.

He had Nero. Who they never used to his fullest potential.
