Biography
Originally a Green Lantern of Sector 1417, Sinestro was once celebrated as the protector of his planet, Korugar. However, his increasingly authoritarian methods led him to be viewed as a tyrant rather than a hero. After being expelled from the Green Lantern Corps, he became the leader of the Sinestro Corps, powered by the emotion of fear. Sinestro's character has evolved across various media, showcasing his complex motivations where he believes fear is necessary to maintain order in the universe. His conflicts with the Green Lanterns, especially Hal Jordan, define much of his storyline, portraying him not just as a villain but as an antagonist with a twisted sense of justice. He embodies the struggle between control and freedom within the DC Universe, making him one of the most compelling figures in comics.
