Black Supervillain: Fatality

"In the wake of Xanshi's destruction, I was without purpose. So I spent my life hunting you. Slaughtering Green Lanterns in your in your name."


Yrra Cynril - Fatality

Yrra was a member of the Xanshii race. A group of aliens from the planet Xanshii, one of the many species there, which were similar to humans from Earth. Yrra was also the oldest child of the royal family on the planet. This meant that she was the next in line to be Queen of the planet. However she preferred to study the art of war. Because of this she spent long periods of time off planet being educated in different styles of war.

While studying with the Warlords of Okarra she met Starfire for the first time. Yet, during this time devastation would strike. The planet of Xanshii was destroyed in an explosion despite Green Lantern John Stewart attempting to prevent it. When she learned of the explosion she heard that John Stewart had personally caused the explosion and believed him to have destroyed her planet. Despite the Warlords of Okarra attempting to keep her on their planet and explain the truth she left anyway, seeking the death of John Stewart.

It's at this time she chose the name of Fatality and began bounty hunting on occasion for income. She planned to kill John and every other Green Lantern she crossed before him. She killed maybe a dozen before killing Green Lantern Stel. She was left unnoticed, mainly because of the many internal wars and power struggles within the Corps. It is during this time she came across Kyle Rayner and gave him that work. However she realized his ring was different than previous Green Lanterns she had encountered (Kyle had one of the first updated rings, power to kill no yellow weakness etc). She assumed Kyle was a fake Lantern and left him there, having no beef with him.

Kyle however rushed off to warn John about Fatality since he was the only other Green Lantern in the sector at the time. Fatality had tracked Kyle who she expected to lead her to John. When Kyle learned he was being tracked he attempted to take out Fatality but she gave him those hands again. This time she intended to just kill him but John Stewart arrived for the save. Over powered by John she slipped away to her ship. John ran out of battery power but Kyle recovered and managed to disable her ship leaving them both stranded on an empty planet.

Wounded from the crash she managed to beat Kyle yet again. At this point they were both injured and attacked by a tentacle monster. She told Kyle she would rather they both die instead of escaping.  Kyle managed to escape somehow but when he returned the only thing he could find was her left arm so he assumed she was dead. He must not know about that black girl magic.

Some time later Fatality returned and took out: John, Jade, Merayn and Kyle with no help. She then tied up John and took him with her in order to execute him. Jade and Kyle managed to catch up to her and attempted to fight her again. She managed to knockout Jade, take her ring and then use it to beat Kyle. John eventually regained consciousness and released a powerful blast of pure Green Lantern Energy. This defeated Fatality and everyone assumed she was dead, but it also left John paralyzed from the waist down.

Later she return using a spear that created yellow constructs. It was meant to be a weapon for Nero and was only in the test stages. While the battle was going well the weapon malfunctioned and blew off her right arm. Kyle took her to a hospital and she a had robotic arm made that matched the left robotic arm. She was then sent to a prison known as The Slab that housed metahumans. There her arms were set to max out at 10 pounds preventing her from escaping by limiting her. During this time John constantly visited her begging for forgiveness. She refused and told him that the only reason he was paralyzed is because of an energy blockage caused by a guilty conscious. She only revealed this information because she wanted John to recover so she could give him an honorable death because she refused to "slaughter a cripple." Eventually she escaped the prison when she heard John had use of his legs again. During the Sinestro Corps War she joined the Sinestro Corps looking to kill more Lanterns. She was however captured by the Zamarons who encased her in a crystal turning the anger and hate in her heart to love.

Because Star Sapphires aren't always people who love a lot, many of the members just fell victim to the parasite that converts other emotions to love. Being that her anger and hate were directed at John, this caused her to fall in love with him.  She tracked him down to a battle where he was outnumbered by thousands of Orange Power Constructs and helped John to fight them off. When John went down she defended him until the Orange Lantern Constructs were called away for some reason. At this moment she begged John for his forgiveness knowing that he did all he could do to save her planet. Letting him know that she no longer wished to harm him and only wants to be forgiven now. She kisses him and then leaves to join the other Star Sapphires. Seriously, that love parasite is not cool at all.

She returned in time to help defend Zamaron from the Sinestro Corps who wished to regain the women that the Zamarons kidnapped and forced to join the Star Sapphires. In the end the Zamarons were defeated since most of the female lanterns from other corps had not been transformed yet. They didn't expect Green Lanterns to join the battle and side with Sinestro Corps, against brainwashing people and forcing them to join the Star Sapphires.

Yrra ended up joining a group of people from each of the corps attempting to wipe out the Black Lanterns. During this time she and John had to fight through the reanimated corpses of those that died on Xanshii only to destroy the planet again. While things seemed to be great for her and she seemed to have turned to the side of good she was abducted by the Durlans. They destroyed her ring hoping to limit her abilities. However it only removed the brainwashing the ring implanted and brought back her true personality and hatred. While she had began a relationship with John he was surprised to find her once again swearing to kill him.

Thoughts: It's kind of hard to claim any of the Lantern Corps are actually villains besides the Black Lanterns. Most of them, including Green Lanterns, have done some pretty messed up things. They've also participated in saving the world. So it's like a coin flip. However since she knows John didn't destroy planet Xanshii she goes in the villain category because she knows she's chasing revenge on the wrong guy.

  1. "she knows she's chasing revenge on the wrong guy." This is what made the Durlan rug pull so absurd.... The Star Sapphire ring didn't make Fatality feel that way. It may have changed her outlook on life to be dominated by feeling love, but when you look back at her past.. BEFORE the Star Sapphire got to her.... She'd already gotten over the destruction of her home world. As FATALITY, and NOT the Star Sapphire she'd twice had chats with John about why she thought he should stop the pity party.

    The Star Spphire thing was a drastic change... but in many ways it made sense. Yrra became Fatality.... because of the heartbreak she felt when her home was destroyed and her family were killed. Her anger and rage were.... fueled by a broken heart. and she came to see that John was just as broken as she was. And then some one decided that it was a waste of a good villain and was like "nope, imposter" and just.... wrecks what was a great story.
