Green Lantern Corps

Hannu

A Lantern who prefers his own strength.

Hannu is a physically formidable Green Lantern who prefers fighting with his own strength. His reluctance to use a ring is a character choice, not a lack of ring power.

Continuity: Main DC comics continuity; this profile follows the cited era rather than asserting a permanent present-day status.

First appearance
Green Lantern (1990) #49 (1994)
Story history — History and later developments — spoilers

An Ovacronian, Hannu comes from a culture that values unarmed combat. Green Lantern Corps #51 puts that preference under pressure when he is needed to rescue Kyle Rayner, John Stewart and Ganthet. It is a focused example of duty conflicting with a Lantern’s customary methods. Avoid treating his aversion as an absolute inability ever to use ring constructs.
