""Fear is irresistible to me. It is my drink. My romance. My gambling. But then I overdosed. Burned out. I couldn't feel it anymore. I became a shell. A shadow of a human. No relief from the pain of being fearless. Until the ring came for me. Can you imagine what that was like? A weapon powered by terror! I wasn't just feeling fear... I was wielding it. So I stole a moment to study it. To learn as much as possible. It was endlessly complex. A combination of emotion and light. Its full potential was beyond me. But I learned enough. And when the ring left me a second time... I was prepared. I was like the caveman who found the burning branch. It ignited the fire within me. After weeks of experiments... I can use it to scare them. But it isn't enough. Not for me to feel fear again. I must try again... I must keep trying. Until I perfect it. Until I am whole again. Until I am consumed by fear." - Green Lanterns #17"
