Before he became the greatest enemy of the Green Lantern Corps, Thaal Sinestro was one of its greatest members.

In this episode of InFocus, we explore Sinestro’s complete history, from his Silver Age creation by John Broome and Gil Kane to his fall from grace, the formation of the Sinestro Corps, his complicated relationship with Hal Jordan, and his many attempts to impose order through fear.

We also examine his powers and abilities, weaknesses, most important comic storylines, and appearances beyond the printed page. That includes animation, live action, parody, video games, and his latest portrayal by Ulrich Thomsen in LANTERNS.

How did a hero who genuinely wanted peace become one of DC’s most dangerous villains? Is Sinestro truly evil, or is he the hero of a story only he believes?

WARNING: This video contains spoilers for several Green Lantern comics, animated films, television shows, and LANTERNS.

Let us know what you think of Sinestro in the comments. Is he Green Lantern’s greatest villain? What character should we put InFocus next?

VisionQuest Episodes 5 & 6 LIVE Breakdown | Ultron Escapes & Jocasta’s Plan Revealed

Ultron breaks free, Jocasta’s endgame comes into focus, and Vision finally tells Tommy the truth! Join us LIVE as we break down VisionQuest Season 1, Episode 5, “Firewall,” and Episode 6, “Deadlock”—from the secrets inside Ultron’s attic to the showdown in Madripoor and that unexpected Ultron–Jocasta kiss.

Spoilers for both episodes ahead!

In “Firewall,” Vision and the other AIs uncover evidence of Ultron’s manipulation, including his role in Paladin’s mission and his possession of Wells’ final biomarker. To regain control of his body and rescue Tommy, Vision must lower his firewall—but that decision also gives Ultron a way out into the digital world. With F.R.I.D.A.Y. in pursuit, Vision awakens beside Lisa aboard a plane bound for Madripoor.

In “Deadlock,” a confrontation with Paladin erupts into chaos when Raza al-Wazar and the Ten Rings attack on behalf of the mysterious Client. Meanwhile, Jocasta reveals what the biomarkers unlock: a vault of nanobots she intends to use to control human minds. When Lisa becomes infected with a prototype, Tommy’s powers become her lifeline—and Vision’s revelations about WandaVision bring his relationship with Tommy to a crucial turning point.

On this livestream, we’re discussing:

• Ultron’s attic, hidden recordings, and manipulation of Vision and Tommy
• The firewall decision: did Vision have any other choice?
• Paladin’s kidnapping scheme and the battle in Madripoor

Then, in “Malware,” the threat invades Vision’s Mindspace. An investigation into Markridge Biotech leads to the revelation that the killer is Jocasta, a synthezoid based on Dr. Josephine Carrington. When Vision lets Ultron take control to stop her, Ultron seizes his opportunity—and leaves with Tommy.
