When Hal and the others did not show up in time, Atrocitus ordered Razer to activate the planet buster's detonation sequence. It was then decided that they would find and destroy the meddlers from Oa before they could do anything further to derail Atrocitus' plans.Īnd, unfortunately for Shyir Rev's people on Colony 12 where the Interceptor crew was attempting to lay low for the moment, the Red Lantern plan involved using a planet buster.Ītrocitus demanded that the Green Lanterns be handed over or the planet would be annihilated. While Zox attempted to force all the blame onto his hunting partner, Razer was spared the wrath of his lord when an incoming transmission reported that one of his Hunter Killer Drones had found the Green Lantern ship and planted a tracking device on the hull.

They had arrived via ultra-warp (thus eliminating months worth of travel time) just in time to save Shyir Rev, Kilowog taking the wounded Lantern on board the Interceptor while Hal recharged his ring via the ship's giant green battery engine and used it to blast Zilius Zox and Razer out into the atmosphere.īack on Shard, the Red Lantern “mother ship”, Atrocitus was less than pleased with Zox and Razer's failure to get rid of their target, especially since Green Lanterns from Oa had been involved. After learning that their comrades in Frontier Space were being murdered one by one, Hal talked Kilowog into “borrowing” a new experimental space craft named the Interceptor to fly out and investigate. The two had been in a meeting with the Guardians on Oa when the late M'Ten's ring arrived, unable to find a new bearer. Outnumbered and outmatched, Rev would have met the same fate as M'Ten if not for the unexpected arrival two Lanterns from Oa – Hal Jordan and Kilowog. Again Razer was sent out with Zilius Zox, the two attacking a Green Lantern by the name of Shyir Rev on a desolate planet. Razer then stood by and merely watched while Zox murdered M'Ten, the Green Lantern power ring flying off afterward.Įighteen months passed with yet more Frontier Green Lanterns falling to the ranks of the Red. As far as Zox was concerned, however, that wasn't necessarily a bad outcome, as he took pleasure in hunting their victims down and destroying them. While Razer was the one to spring the trap, initially, he was hesitant to strike the killing bow, stating that any Green Lanterns they killed would only give rise to more when their rings sought out new worthy keepers. One of Razer and Zox's first victims was Green Lantern M'Ten, who the two ambushed in open space.

Those Green Lanterns who patrolled Frontier Space, the sectors on the edge of Guardian Space, were often selected and given only basic instruction through their rings, as it would take them eighteen months to reach the Guardian home world of Oa for training there. Atrocitus blamed the Guardians for the ruin of his home galaxy and thus wanted them and their lapdogs wiped out. It was then a red power ring found him and, in his state of blind rage and want for vengeance, he accepted the invitation to join Atrocitus' Red Lantern Corps.Īssigned to work with Lord Atrocitus' second-in-command, the bloodthirsty Zilius Zox, Razer found himself on missions to seek out and destroy Green Lanterns in Frontier Space. Angry and distraught, Razer knelt at her side, crying out that he'd come back for her, his heart broken. Ilana was partially buried beneath the rubble. Some time after joining the militia, Razer came home from a tour of duty to find that his home had been partially destroyed in a raid and that part of the roof had collapsed. Razer, wanting to make her dream a reality and better protect her and their people, joined the militia despite Ilana's protests that more fighting would help no one. Ilana's only want was to live in a safe place where they could raise a family. Unfortunately, their existence was far from peaceful the planet was being ravaged by ongoing skirmishes between various warlords who were fighting with one another over territory. More than eighteen months ago, Razer lived with his wife Ilana on their home world in The Forgotten Zone, a sector on the very edge of Guardian Space. We'll burn you all - that is your fate!'
