Force Fields & Protection

The power

Every ring wraps its bearer a protective aura: shrugging off bullets, cushioning falls, and sealing in atmosphere. Lanterns fight in the vacuum of space and inside stars with nothing but the ring between them and death.

The field is automatic — the ring senses danger and raises shields before the bearer consciously reacts. It can be extended to protect others, shaped into bubbles, walls, or full-body armor.

Kyle Rayner once held a collapsing building together with a force field. John Stewart has shielded entire city blocks. The only limit is the bearer's willpower and the ring's charge.
