Warning! Spoilers ahead for Sinister Sons #6!Things are changing rapidly in Green Lantern’s corner of the DC Universe. The Green Lantern Corps has been taken over by a madman and it’s had ripple effects all throughout the cosmos. As Sinestro prepares to get things straightened out, he deputizes two surprising people to look after something important to him.
In Sinister Sons #6 by Peter J. Tomasi and Vasco Georgiev, Korg, aka Sinson, confronts Sinestro and tells him how Korg believes they’re father and son. Sinestro responds by instigating a fight, causing Korg’s frenemy Lor-Zod to come to his defense. However, Korg gets mad when Lor-Zod attacks Sinestro, causing Korg to tap into the Red Lantern energy.
Sinestro stops the fight and reveals that he provoked their battle to see if Sinson could access and control the Red Light. Satisfied, Sinestro leaves the boys in charge of the Korugar Defense Force while he heads for space.
The Sinister Sons are in Charge of Sinestro’s Planet
Korg has wanted nothing more than to prove he was Thaal Sinestro’s son. After overthrowing his caretaker, Korg stole a ship that belonged to Lor-Zod, who attempted to seize it back. Unfortunately for the two boys, the ship was consumed by a space whale that took them all across the cosmos. After surviving in the whale’s belly for an indeterminate amount of time, Lor-Zod and Korg were rescued by Sinestro, who took a small liking to the latter. He brought both of them to New Korugar in exchange for their assistance cleaning up after the Yellow Central Power Battery explosion.
Sinestro’s corps is pretty much non-existent thanks to Lord Premier Thaaros blowing up the Central Power Batteries. But Sinestro’s greatest allegiance has always been to his people and he’d never leave them without some kind of protection. Granted, Lor-Zod has only a fraction of the power of a fully-grown Kryptonian and Sinson just learned how to access his Red Lantern powers. But Sinestro wouldn’t just let anyone look after New Korugar, so he obviously believes in the boys. While they’ve only gotten started leading the Korugar Defense Force, this could be a fantastic opportunity for both of the Sinister Sons.
The Sinister Sons’ New Job Will Help Them Prove Themselves
Korg wants to show Sinestro he’s got what it takes to be worthy of the family name (even if he’s uncertain of their connection). He’s not going to slack when it comes to protecting his father figure’s domain. Though Lor-Zod doesn’t have a strong connection to New Korugar, the young Kryptonian is determined to show his father, General Zod, that he doesn’t need the House of Zod to survive in the world. They may not be taking on Green Lantern, but the Sinister Sons have a golden opportunity as the new leaders of the Korugar Defense Force.
