Lantern Corps in the Marvel Universe
By Mark Lynch
Orange: Avarice
Oath: “What’s mine is mine and mine and mine. And mine and mine and mine! Not yours!”
The easiest way to describe the Orange Lantern Corps is by a quote from Ganthet, “…the orange light of avarice will be discovered and manipulated by a being whose greed knows no bounds.” The leader of the corps is so greedy that the there is only one Orange Lantern in the entire corps. You have to be a person so greedy that you’d want everything to yourself.
Wilson “Kingpin” Fisk
Wilson Fisk wants it all. Power, wealth, and anything else he can get his hands on. Fisk started from nothing. He had an abusive father and was beat up by neighborhood kids. Once Fisk gained confidence and a sense of what he could become, he took it and ran with it. Fisk created a criminal empire not even Spider-Man, Daredevil, and The Punisher can’t take down permanently.
Wilson Fisk was the Kingpin of Crime and eventually became the mayor of New York. That’s the kind of greed he has. Also, we can’t leave out the elephant in the room and look at his size. As Spider-Man said, “He’s a man who loves his Ding Dongs.” There isn’t a greedier person in the Marvel Universe. At least Victor von Doom has a motive. Fisk would sell his mother up the river if it meant getting ahead in the world.
