The Silver Lantern
In a convergence of cosmic forces, the Power Cosmic merges with Green Lantern energy, creating an entirely new form of cosmic being with unprecedented abilities.
The Fusion Effect
When the Power Cosmic merged with Green Lantern energy, it created something unprecedented in cosmic history. The fusion didn't simply combine two power sources—it created a symbiotic relationship where each power amplifies and refines the other.
The Green Lantern's willpower provides focus and moral direction to the chaotic creative force of the Power Cosmic, while the cosmic energy gives unlimited scope and power to the lantern's constructs. The result is a being capable of reshaping reality with pure intention.
Unlike traditional heralds who serve Galactus's hunger, the Silver Lantern uses the Power Cosmic for protection and creation, guided by the Green Lantern oath and an unwavering moral compass. This makes them unique among cosmic entities—a force of pure cosmic power tempered by heroic will.
