Controllers (DC)

From Multiversal Omnipedia

The Controllers are a powerful alien species that feature in DC Comics.

History

The Controllers.

The Controllers would embark on a similar approach as the Guardians by creating their own peacekeeping organization which would become the Darkstars. At first, this body was created in order to protect Controller territory and rather then be involved in its management, they made use of aliens that worked in such roles that worked for NEMO. This would be a highly successful venture as the Controllers expanded the role of the Darkstars, however, their distant relationship with the organization meant that it was corrupted by its director as well as mismanaged. An act that ultimately meant that it was dissolved eventually.

The race would continue their development in building on the early success of the Darkstars and created Effigy. After this fiery beings battles with Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, it was decided that a corps of such warriors would be useful in policing the galaxy. However, the experiment proved to be a failure as the newly created soldiers lacked free will which made them ineffective against Rayner who destroyed the facility where they were being created.

After the Sinestro Corps War, the Controllers were one of many that sought to build their own Lantern Corps by finding the orange light of avarice.

Background

Unlike their cousins the Oans, the Controllers evolved somewhat different with their skin taking a more pinkish tone and were all completely hairless. Despite this, they were still quite capable of manipulating matter and energy as well as being long lived.

The Controllers did not believe in the containment of evil but rather the extermination of it which meant they created a great deal of weaponry for such tasks. They furthermore did not believe in the individuality of their servants like the Guardians did, preferring entities that were controllable and obeyed.
