Obsidian rose comics7/22/2023 ![]() Jade is freed by the Entity and Obsidian is contained by Kyle Rayner. ![]() Jade and Obsidian are fused into a hyrbid that has both their powers and is used to attack both the JSA and the JLA. Starheart posses both Green Lantern, Obsidian and Dr. In Brightest Day its revealed that the creature Starheart gave Alan Scott his original powers and bestowed powers onto Obsidian and Jade. ![]() Terrific who travels back in time and frees Obsidian before he can get pulled into the mess. He would join the JSA, working as their headquarters watchman for a while before being manipulated into an evil plot by Kid Karnevil. He is calmed down, but his mental instability is still there. He tries the hero life again, but loses control when he discovers a new hero going by the name of Jade. He got into a serious relationship with a district attorney named Damon Matthews and lived quietly until his sister died in Infinite Crisis. Once cured, he retired from the costume life and came out. He does a few more evil things including team up with Mordru and Eclipso, but he is eventually captured and cured of his mental imbalance. He turned evil, trying to kill his adoptive father, forcing his real father and the JSA to stop him. The two were founding members of Inifnity, Inc… a team of superheroes consisting of children, grand children and protege members of the Justice Society of America.īut his time as a hero with Infinity Inc and the Justice League is overshadowed by the mental illness that he inherited from his mother. They both had superpowers and believed they were the children of Scott, so they took on the code names of Obsidian and Jade to follow in his footsteps. He was put up for adoption and raised in an abusive house-hold, only finding out he had a twin sister named Jennie-Lynn Hayden when he was in his late team. While MCU fans may consider Cull Obsidian and Ronan the Accuser to be one-note villains, in Marvel Comics, their deadly brawl was far more than the apparent sum of its parts.Todd Rice is the son of the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott and the villain Thorn, Rose Canton. In the closing skirmish of Infinity, Avengers #23 shows that working together, the representatives of the galaxy's sentient worlds can conquer any threat, even if each of the "heroes" in this battle brings along their own checkered past and bloody hands. It's perhaps for this reason that his victory over Black Dwarf - the brutal general of a galactic tyrant - feels like such a moment of triumph. From killing heroes to an arranged marriage with the Inhuman Crystal, Ronan is a noble soul often forced to carry out ignoble deeds. A true believer in the philosophy of the Kree, Ronan has nevertheless frequently disgraced himself in their eyes by breaking from official orders to do what he considers right. Writer Jonathan Hickman has a long history of exploring the moral grey areas those who protect and represent nations must inhabit, and in many ways Ronan is the perfect expression of this. ![]() The viscera alone would disqualify this scene from the MCU, but the scene also draws on the shady morality of its antihero leads in ways that wouldn't work with their less fleshed-out movie incarnations. While Ronan has threatened Earth on the Kree's behalf many times, he's been a hero as often as a villain, and when Thanos and his Black Order seized Earth, he volunteered to help the Avengers retake it. Introduced in 1967's Fantastic Four #65, Ronan the Accuser is an alien antihero - the ultimate form of justice in a society warped by decades of war. Known as Black Dwarf in the comics, the character the movies call 'Cull Obsidian' has some hidden depths, despite only being introduced in 2013 (by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena.) A member of Thanos' Black Order, the alien powerhouse is a general in the Mad Titan's army, and a surprisingly complex soul who is secretly in love with ally Proxima Midnight. With over eighty years of comic history, MCUfans are never going to see the movie version of every great moment from the original stories, but the battle between Guardians of the Galaxy's Ronan the Accuser and Thanos' lackey Cull Obsidian was always guaranteed not to make it to big screen, owing mainly to the gory conclusion of the fight. ![]()
