Corps 101: The Star Sapphires
Although this is the penultimate profile from the Corps 101 series posted on DC's The Source, we've already seen the layout for the Black Lanterns that they are going to post tomorrow.

Today's feature is, obviously, the Star Sapphires of the Violet light.

It seems only Carol and Fatality have the weird/ slutty costume. The others are sexy, but a bit more classy. I like them.

I wonder who the "Lost Sapphire" is? I recognize the name "Dela Pharon": was she the one that got killed by the Spectre? I have no idea if Miss Bloss or Race are established characters. Too bad they didn't show Star Sapphire Kryb :(

I AM a little sad at the lack of males. I know Ethan Van Sciver said that he hoped there would be male Violet Lanterns because he thinks excluding them is sending the message that men cannot be connected to Love, which is untrue. Also, while he's unsure of how they'd adapt the sexy costume for a male wearer, he bets he could do it. Did someone say "convention commission"?

	You know, if they insist on this being GIRLS ONLY BOYS STAY OUT Corps, they could at least explain it away as the sexism of the Zamarons. Knowing Johns, though, he probably just takes love and ~~pink~~ violet means GURLS for granted. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I guess it has been hinted at, because the reason why the Zamarons splintered was due to the Guardians not embracing emotion. At the time, the Guardians were all male. I'd like them to be called out on it, though, if they aren't going to have any men around. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I gotta go this direction too. It's not that those not recruited for a particular corps aren't capable of a strong link with X, it's that those running the show for each corps has very specific goals in their recruiting, so the Oans look for people with a strong sense of justice, the Zamarons are biased towards women, and Sinestro's not interested in recruiting a good-guy yellow lantern.

	Remove the bra-cups, folded boots, think 'Barbarian' and '1940s SF hero' and you've got it. (Reply to this)

	Nobody tell Phyla about this group. Okay? (Reply to this)

	Deborah Darnell is the one that was killed by the Spectre (and was in the Secret Society of Super-Villains back in the day). Dela Pharon is another Star Sapphire from the planet Xanador that first showed up in a 1965 story (Green Lantern #41) as a rival for Carol Ferris. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Is she the 1940's one who was shown to be afraid of men in the GL/Flash Brave and the Bold? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, unsurprisingly, the costume looks better in hands other than Benes', which is something, I guess. I'd mind them all being female a lot less (though I'd still mind it) if they weren't all mammals, though. If you know what I mean. -_- (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A surprisingly high percentage of which seem to be blue skinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought Cowgirl was Earth's Star Sapphire. Hmmm... so would her Bizarro, Earth-3, or Antimatter counterpart be "Reverse Cowgirl?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I thought Cowgirl was Earth's Star Sapphire. No, the crystal on Cowgirl jumped ship to a Zamaron when Hal kissed the Zamaron. This was before the Zamarons decided to get their own corps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
