This fictitious character is feature conspicuously in a three - part story that takes spot inGreen Lantern Corpsissues 217 through 219 . They were write by Steve Englehart and drawn by Joe Staton .
Olapet was one of three survive Lanterns from a group that was destroyed by Sinestro . During this sentence , Sinestro was in prison on Oa . unluckily , in the cell next to him was a sentient sector of space called 3600 .

Olapet hales from the Southern Goldstar . She appear genderless but is referred to as a plant mother . Her chief soundbox is bulbous in appearance with various leaves and vines pop out from her top and bottom , similar to a jellyfish . One of these vines hold her Green Lantern halo . She uses her bizarre coming into court to fritter away opponents into thinking she could be easily defeated , but Olapet might be one of the most difficult Lanterns to vote down . She is capable to transfer her mind into a seedling that she carries within her . This ability allows her to keep on on living through a form of immortality , coincidentally similar to the immortal Portuguese man-of-war that she resembles .
However , saying that Olapet was one of three survivingGreen Lantern members in her initial appearanceis moderately shoddy as one of them is technically idle . This is Driq of Criq , who was killed but whose power ring reject to let his body go . Although Driq is not technically alive , he could also be considered an immortal Green Lantern since he ca n’t truly be killed . It ’s quite the coincidence that two peradventure " immortal " Lanterns had their first appearance in the same issue .
Although this three - part narration from 1987 is pretty much all readers get to see of Olapet , she does fall very briefly in 2011’sGreen Lantern : Emerald warrior # 10 . This issue was Part 9 of theWar of the Green Lanternsstoryline . Olapet appears as a very underage background character in the issue , but it ’s notable cave in the 24 - year spread between her appearances . The fact thatthis seemingly forget Lanternhas not made an show in 11 year signify she ’s credibly due for another . Olapetdeserves it too as it would make for a greatGreen Lanternstory to see her immortality tested .
