First Appearance: Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1 (August, 2007)

Powers: As a power-ray Flayt could absorb virtually any energy source into his body. Flayt's primary weapon was his power ring, which was virtually identical to the power rings used by the Green Lantern Corps, except that it only utilized the yellow range of the spectrum, tapping into the emotional energy of fear. Flayt’s power ring was capable of doing almost anything he could imagine. Examples of its’ powers include flight, phasing, creating giant objects formed of energy, and force fields.

History: (Green Lantern / Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1) - Flayt was a power-ray, and typical of his species he disabled starships by latching onto them and absorbing their energy cells. He left hundreds of ships stranded without life-support during the Tristam-Zanner imperial war. He was chosen for the Sinestro Corps because of his ability to instill great fear.

(Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1) - Sinestro gathered Flayt and the Sinestro Corps on Qward. Sinestro laid out their mission of using fear to make the chaos of the universe bend to their will, and to replace it with law and order. Their first step was to burn anyone that would oppose their plan, so they had to destroy the Green Lantern Corps. They brought Kyle Rayner to Qward and stripped him of the Ion entity. Sinestro made Kyle feel fear, and infected him with the Parallax entity, which he then presented to his guardian, the Anti-Monitor.

(Green Lantern IV #24) - Sinestro communicated with Hal via his power ring as the Sinestro Corps invaded Earth. He intended to conquer the planet, making it a symbol of the Sinestro Corp’s power and their ability to control any planet. He intended to makes slaves of the Earthlings, and execute anyone who did not submit. Flayt and his fellow Sinestro Corps soldiers wrecked havoc on Earth, but were staved off by the GLC and an army of Earth’s heroes.
