In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight.I don't care what kind of power you've got!.Come on kid! Let's stop this before it gets heated.Sorry kid, seems you‘re carrying a Class A galactic super weapon.Hello! Green Lantern, best looking guardian of Sector 2814, at your service.Green Lantern makes a small cameo appearance near the end of Goomba VS Koopa 2, as he can be seen traveling through time during the Koopa's own time travel, noticing the Goomba's Shoe that came along with it and stopped in front of him in reference to his episode's infamous kill.

Defeated Sinestro, Parallax, Nekron, and Krona.Punched Sinestro hard enough to shatter reality.Withstood the magnetic force of the universe. Probed the entire universe in a heartbeat.Hal would also become a founding member of the Justice League, working alongside other heroes to defend Earth and beyond from universal threats.

Reverse-Flash, on the other hand, isn’t exactly a slow version of the Flash, even though his name kind of implies it. But the Sinestro Corps is a Lantern Corps led by Sinestro, just as Bizarro is a bizarre version of Superman.
