HORKU

Real Name: Horku

Class: Extraterrestrial technology-user

Group Affiliation: Sinestro Corps

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Space Sector 2

First Appearance: Green Lantern Corps IV #24 (December, 2007)

Powers: Horku's primary weapon was his power ring, which is 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. Enkafos' 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. His power ring could also counter the abilities of any Green Lantern’s power ring.

History: (Green Lantern IV #24, Green Lantern Corps II #17) - Horku was chosen to join the Sinestro Corps for his ability to instill great fear. The Sinestro Corps invaded Earth, intending to conquer the planet, making it a symbol of the Sinestro Corp’s power and their ability to control any planet. Horku and his squad targeted Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Horku taunted him because GLs could not use lethal force. He hadn’t learned that the Guardians had rewritten the book of Oa, allowing lethal force only against Sinestro Corps soldiers. A GL squad arrived to back Guy up, and GL Hannu executed Horku.
