Weapons and Equipment

Main article: Power ring

Members of the Sinestro Corps use yellow power rings built on Qward. This article is about the Green Lantern Corps weapon For the comic book characters see Power Ring (character. Unlike a Green Lantern's power ring, yellow power rings are fueled by fear instead of willpower. The yellow rings are charged by Manhunter androids that have yellow power batteries built into themselves, which in turn are connected to a large yellow Power Battery based on Qward. The rings have no known weaknesses, unlike a Green Lantern power ring's previous vulnerability to yellow. Also, the yellow rings are not restricted from killing sentient beings as the Green Lantern's power rings were. However, due to the Guardians' authorizaton for the use of lethal force, the yellow rings are no longer unique in this way.
