Marvel’sThanosmight have more in common with a DC villain than initial appearances suggest . A central tenet of theGreen Lanternmythos is the Emotional Spectrum , where different emotional drive are given a people of color and have their own Lantern Corps . Orange is associated with rapacity , or avarice and has perhaps the most unique structure of any other Lantern Corps — there is only one at a time . Larfleeze is the soleOrange Lantern in the DC Universe , but if this marvelous might were to find its way to the Marvel Universe , it might find an possessor in Thanos !
Geoff Johns took over the strugglingGreen Lanterntitle in 2004 , returning Hal Jordan to the role of Green Lantern and reinstating the Corps . Johns also introduced the concept of the Emotional Spectrum , using it to lay the foundation for some of DC ’s biggest events , such asThe Blackest Night . As advert in the first place , orange is associated with greed and in 2009’sGreen Lantern # 39 , readers finally meet the only Orange Lantern — Larfleeze . As covetousness is Larfleeze ’s motivating , he does not share his mightiness with anyone , hence the reason he is theonly “ true ” Orange Lantern . Larfleeze possess the big businessman to create orange , hard - light constructs of his victims , those foolish enough to challenge him for his power . gratefully , Larfleeze and the Orange light are confined to the DC Universe , because if it existed in the Marvel Universe , Thanos would not only wield its world power but improve on it as well . Thanks to his unique Eternals / Deviant DNA , Thanos was born already powerful , but he need more — the drive of greed and cupidity was already integral in him .

Thanos has used variousweapons in his plans , such as the Cosmic Cube and the Infinity Stones , and there is no doubtfulness the Orange light of greed would appeal to him as well . If Thanos decide to challenge Larfleeze for the power , it more than likely would not terminate well for Larfleeze — he is quite potent , but just no match for Thanos . Also , Thanos may desolate a demonstration of might and essay to trick Larfleeze out of his power — much like he did with the Elders of the Universe inThanos Quest .
With Larfleeze now a hard - visible radiation construct in his army , Thanos would employ theOrange superpower on a plate unlike anything Larfleeze could have conceived . For all his intelligence service and power , Larfleeze set about biography as a common outlaw and that is where his mental capacity has remain ; his strategy are mostly related to stealing objective and powers . Thanos thinks much great , using tools such as the Infinity Stones to kill half the creation ’s population , as well as merge with Eternity . Thanos would no doubt usethe power to summon construct of the infinite individuals he has killed , give him an unbeatable army .
