Story history — History and later developments — spoilers

Arkillo’s killing of Vice’s mate drives his hostility toward the Sinestro Corps. Captured by the Green Lanterns, Vice escapes a specially prepared Sciencell and attacks warden Voz, helping turn imprisonment into a wider riot. His later use against Black Lanterns shows how an enemy can become a temporary battlefield asset without becoming safe or trustworthy.
