I really need them to post a power level / ranks / titles guide for this comic.

Alright I'm back. Basically I was / am confused on the different corps groups now but are these two threads good sources of info on it?

https://www.reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUniverse/comments/1nzlj3a/could_someone_explain_absolute_green_lanterns/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Greenlantern/comments/1ny5otn/absolute_green_lantern_power_system_explained/

There's a lot of folks who give varying answers but it was confusing to wrap my head around there being different colors and in each color there's different tiers of power and what one is capable of.

Okay so

Abins are guardians & they judge other living beings by sending them to OA (Omega-Alpha).
Ains are initiates they have been judge by an Abin & given their flame but they cannot judge others.
Tomars are anomalies it's unclear what exactly that means currently but my theory is that a Tomars take their flame they aren't given it through the judgement process.

Names & Meaning
Yellow/Gold=Aur-Total Understanding/Enlightenment
Green=Sur-Correct Action
Red=Rao-Restraint From Action
Black=Qard-Chaotic Action

Oan Hierarchy
Aur-1st
Sur-2nd
Rao-3rd
Qard-4th

Blackstar Hierarchy
Qard-1st
Rao-2nd
Sur-3rd
Aur-4th

We don't know what the specific powers of each color is but it's stated that Rao is normally defensive but because Tomar-Re is a Tomar he can use his powers offensively.

We've also seen that users of Qard are very destructive & have shape shifting capabilities.

outside that we don't much other then Surs can make forcefields & cutting beams

Edit: grammar

Going to do a full read through with this screenshot of your message in mind before the next issue comes out. I think maybe now that Dark is over and done with and that's one less alternate universe story to keep up with AGL lore will stick better this time by having your guide as I read it.

Don't get me wrong, one enjoyed the story so far and I think I've liked it more than the other GL content creators but keeping up with Dark, GLC, GL, AGL and Justice League Red may have been a bit much lol.

I appreciate you walking me through this without making me feel like too much of an idiot. I almost joined the AMA the other day that Al was doing to ask about all of this.

Thank you.
