Biography[]

Origin[]

The Parallax Entity is a malevolent and terrifying cosmic entity that takes on a demonic appearance. It is a sentient embodiment of fear within the vast Emotional Spectrum. This formidable being's origin dates back to the very beginning of existence, when the Life Entity found refuge on the planet Earth.

As the Entity exerted its subtle influence, it unintentionally played a role in the emergence of living beings, who in turn gave rise to the incredible phenomenon known as the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum. Amongst the many embodiments of various emotions, Parallax stands out as the second manifestation of fear, born from the growing concerns and anxieties of these sentient beings.

The Symbol of Fear[]

Parallax, an ancient and malevolent entity, has existed since the very beginning of time. This demonic parasite embodies fear itself, its sentience allowing it to traverse across different worlds. Its presence instills such intense paranoia that entire civilizations succumb to self-destruction. There exists a knowledge that at a specific juncture in time, the Parallax Entity engaged in a fierce battle against the Spectre, as the latter embarked on a mission to eradicate its kind from exerting any influence over sentient beings. However, despite the Spectre's relentless efforts, he was unable to accomplish his objective and emerged unsuccessful in his endeavor.

In the Agent Orange storyline of the Green Lantern series leading up to the Blackest Night event, an intriguing plot unfolds. It all starts on Maltus, the home planet of the future Guardians of the Universe, where a powerful entity known as Parallax is sealed away in a mysterious box.

However, a group of aliens led by Larfleeze formulates an audacious plan to execute the most monumental heist ever witnessed in the universe. They successfully infiltrate Maltus and seize not only the priceless box but also an ancient map that reveals the location of the Orange light, also known as the Orange Power Battery, which is fueled by the insatiable greed of avarice. Journeying to Okaara, the group discovers the symbol of the Orange light and a fierce battle ensues as they vie for control of the coveted Battery.

The Guardians, accompanied by their loyal Manhunter servants, launch an assault on the palace where the confrontation takes place. Tragically, numerous lives are lost in the intense clash, including one contestant for the Orange light. Ultimately, a deal is struck between the Guardians and Larfleeze's group. In exchange for returning the box, the Guardians agree to allow one of them to possess the orange light. Additionally, they promise to never venture into the Vega system, which encompasses Okaara. Following this agreement, the Guardians take swift action and imprison Parallax within the confines of the Green Central Power Battery, ensuring that the universe remains safe from its destructive influence.

The Guardians of the Universe took decisive action to ensure the containment of Parallax, the embodiment of fear, within the Central Power Battery on Oa. Utilizing the contrasting force of willpower, they effectively neutralized Parallax's malevolent influence. This strategic move was crucial in safeguarding the galaxy from the ancient entity's destructive prowess. Concealing the true essence and formidable power of Parallax, the Guardians employed various measures to deter any misguided attempts to liberate it from its confinements. Due to its distinct yellow hue, Parallax gradually acquired the moniker of "the yellow impurity," becoming synonymous with its maleficent existence.

The reason why the rings were ineffective against the color yellow was due to Parallax reducing its influence over that specific part of the spectrum. Because of this, only individuals with immense willpower and the ability to conquer intense fear were able to fully control the power ring. As a result, when the Guardians sought out new Green Lanterns, they made sure to select individuals who possessed a significant level of fearlessness. However, the situation took a turn when the renegade Sinestro was imprisoned within the Power Battery, as his Qwardian yellow power ring accessed Parallax's power, causing it to awaken.

Hal Jordan[]

Originally, in 1994, DC Comics wanted to get rid of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. The storyline began in Green Lantern #50 with its seeds planted in GL #48. This idea of Parallax was retconned, and Hal cleared of his supervillain career in the series, Green Lantern: Rebirth. The Fear Entity that became Parallax's origin is as follows above and below how it came to possess Jordan.

Centuries later, after the death of Lantern Abin Sur, a Human by the name of Hal Jordan became the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 for the first time. With great will power and defense against fear, Hal Jordan was the perfect selection for Green Lantern and proved it on a number of a occasions. However, over the coming years, the being that at the time was trapped inside the Central Battery, found a way to escape its imprisonment through Hal Jordan.

Parallax (Hal Jordan) confronted the Cyborg Superman. Since Sinestro hated Hal, he made Parallax choose Jordan as its tool to free itself. Parallax spent years influencing Hal, causing him increasing self-doubt, then fear and notably his premature whitening at the temples. Parallax's control over Jordan became nearly complete with Jordan's grief over the destruction of Coast City during the Reign of the Supermen! storyline.

It was Parallax who was responsible for Jordan's subsequent murderous activity, his apparent killing of Sinestro (which was later revealed to be an energy construct created by Parallax and Sinestro's manipulation to the creature's creation with his own Qwardian ring, created as the final stage of Jordan's susceptibility to the impurity in order to break his will), and Jordan's destruction of the Central Battery, which allowed Parallax to graft itself onto Jordan's soul.

However, Parallax didn't account for its host's amazing willpower which caused Parallax's plan to take years. Its plan took a major boast when the evil Mongul I, with the help of the mad Cyborg Superman, Hank Henshaw, laid waste to Coast City. It was in that event that tipped Hal Jordan over the edge and allowed Parallax to take over. Despite Parallax's seeming conquest of Jordan's soul, Jordan's heroic tendencies managed to manifest themselves enough for him to sacrifice his life in order to reignite Earth's Sun. Jordan's soul (with Parallax still grafted onto it) subsequently became the newest host of The Spectre, the spirit of God's vengeance.

Since Parallax was gone from the Oan Power Battery, the final power ring conferred to Kyle Rayner did not have any weakness against yellow. The Spectre eventually ejected Parallax from Jordan's soul, then departed in order to move onto the next recipient of the Spectre, while Ganthet guided Jordan's soul back to his own body, preserved after Jordan reignited the Sun. His soul and thoughts finally cleared for the first time in years, Jordan was resurrected, again taking his place as a Green Lantern; even regaining some of his lost youth (evidenced by his hair becoming brown again). Together, Jordan and Kyle Rayner, along with fellow Green Lanterns John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Kilowog freed Ganthet, whom Parallax had possessed after his expulsion from Jordan's soul, and imprisoned the parasite back in the Central Power Battery on Oa.

Kyle Rayner[]

Parallax sought to take control of Kyle Rayner. The Sinestro Corps capture Kyle Rayner with the intention of making him Parallax's new host. Sinestro reveals to Kyle that Ion is actually an energy entity that needs a host, similar to Parallax. Sinestro removes the Ion entity from Kyle, who is immediately taken over by Parallax.

Parallax then cloaks itself in a new uniform, (which appears as a combination of Kyle's original Green Lantern costume and the costume Hal Jordan wore as Parallax), and returns to Qward with the Sinestro Corps (He also turns the hair on the top of Kyle's head grey, as he did Hal's temple hair). The new Parallax became a herald of the Anti-Monitor.

Sinestro Corps War[]

After the massacre of several Green Lanterns, Parallax leads an assault against Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Guy Gardner, and brought them to Qward. The "Lost Lanterns" arrive to rescued the captured Lanterns. During the battle, Parallax murdered Jack T. Chance after making him experience his repressed fear of his abusive family.

Kyle is currently trapped within his own mind. He was able to witness all that Parallax does and says from a 3rd person view, but is unable to stop it. Parallax confronts Kyle's personality inside a room constructed by Kyle's thoughts. Kyle "transforms" into Ion (as his mind allows him to dream up anything, he dreams up his powers), and the two battle. After being blasted back by Parallax and losing his Ion form, Kyle forms a power ring, places it on his finger, and appears in his original costume.

Although putting up a valiant fight, Kyle loses. Parallax reveals Kyle's fear is that he has to live without his mother (the fear which allowed Parallax to possess Kyle's body). Before he left, Kyle stabs Parallax in the eye with a pencil. The creature, unnerved, comments that Kyle will always remain trapped, and with that, leaves. Kyle is about to smash a painting in frustration when he realizes that his mother secretly painted it years ago. With renewed faith in himself, Kyle walks into the painting and ends up in a field walking towards a bright, green star. Parallax taking hold of both Kyle Rayner and Hal Jordan added by Mr. E.

Imprisonment[]

Kyle (as Parallax) is finally confronted by Jordan after threatening his brother and his family. Hal actually manages to beat Parallax until his rings power runs out. Parallax then absorbs Hal as John Stewart looks on in horror. John orders Guy to retrieve the real life painting seen in the one-shot of Parallax.

As Guy returns and shoves the painting into Parallax's eyesight, Hal (who turns out to be the bright green light seen at the end of the one-shot) tries in vain to help Kyle fight Parallax, which has now begun sucking Kyle and Hal himself into the "ground". Kyle finally breaks free and with Hal escapes Parallax.

Just as Parallax (now back in his monster form) attacks the lanterns, Ganthet and the other guardian, Sayd, arrive and suck Parallax into into four separate lanterns (Hal, Kyle, John, and Guy's, respectively). The four men then take their lanterns and hearing the Sinestro Corps oath, recite the Classic Green Lantern Oath.

The Blackest Night[]

During the Blackest Night at Coast City on Earth, Hal Jordan and the leaders of the various Lantern Corps fought against the undead Black Lantern Corps. As the battle raged, a Black Lantern Spectre was unleashed and nearly overpowered the group. This led to Jordan summoning the Lanterns of himself, Rayners, Stewart and Gardners where upon he revealed his plan to free Parallax; the one foe that could fight a being as powerful as The Spectre.

Whilst initially Sinestro stated that he would be a better host, Jordan claimed that it had to be him and after kissing Carol Ferris; he opened his feelings of fear whereupon Parallax possessed him.

Once freed, the Parallax possessed Hal Jordan attacked the Spectre where the fear entity revealed that the Spectre had previously attempted to destroy it as well as its kind though had failed due to the collective emotions from all sentient life in the universe.

After diving into the Spectre, it uncovered the Black Lantern Crispus Allen who had corrupted the Spectre into an agent of Nekron. Using his power, Parallax destroyed the Black Lantern and freed the Spectre though the agent of god intended to destroy Parallax regardless of the fact that Jordan was its host.

In the mean time, Carol Ferris asked for Ganthet's aid in removing Parallax from Hal Jordan and Sinestro attempted to do so but the fear entity revealed that it would not be controlled by anyone leading to a skirmish between them.

The Spectre revealed that he was in fact afraid of Parallax and Carol Ferris later used that link to separate Jordan from the fear entity. Sinestro later attempted to lay claim to the manifestation of fear before the Spectre could destroy him but it was teleported and captured by an unknown entity. Hector Hammond later stated in his prison cell that "It has Parallax".

The Brightest Day[]

When next seen, the Parallax Entity was witnessed being chained up to a pillar of stone with the symbol of fear on it located on the planet Ryut in the Lost Sector. There, Parallax was being watched over by a mysterious figure who intended to protect the universe once more as the individual had done previously under the watchful eye of the Guardians of Oa.

Afterwards, Parallax once again returned to Earth but now under the thrall of its mysterious kidnappers who seemed to be control of the cosmic fear parasite. As it approached members of the New Guardians, Parallax's "master" quickly reigned the entity in line by preventing it from attacking Hal Jordan and instead directing it towards his friend; Barry Allen, also known as the Flash. Sensing the fear the Flash felt for his friend the Green Lantern, it quickly entered into his body and possessed him, thus becoming the latest host of the fear parasite.

Using his new body, Parallax battled against Jordan whilst his master Krona emerged in order to lay claim to the Emotional Entities. In the skirmish, the Proselyte Entity attempted to purge Barry Allen of Parallax's presence but all the Emotional Entities were removed from their hosts whereupon he took them to Oa.

War of the Green Lanterns[]

Whilst the other Entities took forcible possession of the Guardians of the Universe, Parallax was sent into the Central Power Battery which allowed Krona to subvert the entirety of the Green Lantern Corps to his will as the Yellow Impurity was reintroduced into the repository of willpower. However, those beings that had been possessed by Parallax previously were temporarily immune to the fear parasite's influence. This included Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Kilowog and Ganthet.

Only the four Humans managed to escape Krona when they wore the Power Rings of the trapped New Guardians. Armed with different lights of the Emotional Spectrum, they attempted to purge the Green Lantern Central Power Battery of Parallax but failed to pierce its shell.

It was only the freed Ganthet who advised Gardner to use a combination of Star Sapphire and Red Lantern Power Ring which successfully forced Parallax from the Central Power Battery. This act seemingly freed the Corps from Parallax's influence but Krona was ready to begin the next stage of his plans.

Power and Abilities[]

Parallax exhibits an impressive level of superhuman strength, enabling them to overpower opponents and engage in physical combat with ease. This strength is not limited to their physical form but extends to their energy projection abilities as well. Parallax can generate and manipulate vast amounts of energy, which they can utilize to create devastating energy blasts or construct force fields for protection. This energy manipulation also allows Parallax to fly, traversing great distances in a matter of moments. Perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring aspects of Parallax's power lies in their ability to possess and control individuals. By inhabiting the bodies of others, Parallax can manipulate their actions and turn them into unwilling pawns. This possession ability grants Parallax a strategic advantage, as they can utilize unsuspecting hosts to carry out their bidding without detection.

One of Parallax's most notable powers is the ability to tap into the emotional spectrum, specifically harnessing the power of fear. This ability grants Parallax an unrivaled control over fear itself, enabling them to induce intense feelings of terror in others. This power can be used both as a defensive mechanism, deterring opponents from attacking, and as an offensive tool, crippling their enemies with paralyzing fear.

Parallax's mastery over fear extends to the point where they can even manipulate the fear within individuals, exacerbating their deepest phobias and exploiting their weaknesses. Additionally, Parallax possesses exceptional telepathic abilities, allowing them to delve into the minds of others and manipulate their thoughts and perceptions. This mental prowess grants Parallax an advantage in combat situations as they can infiltrate the minds of their adversaries, planting illusions or distorting reality to confuse and disorient them. This ability also grants Parallax the power to extract information from their enemies, making them a formidable interrogator.
