Penelops is a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
Contents
History
Origin
Penelo is an ocean planet whose inhabitants live in total darkness beneath the waves. The creatures of Penelo never venture to the surface of their world because they fear light which causes them pain. Only one has ever conquered those fears, the tentacle Lantern, Penelops. A being of immense willpower, Penelops is famous among the Corps for moving his planet's orbit away from the sun to prevent the oceans from boiling. Not one to boast, this modest GL prefers fulfilling his duty and retreating to the solitude beneath the sea.
Despite Penelops introverted nature, he has teamed with the likes of Tomar-Re, Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner on many important adventures highlighted in the sacred Book of Oa.[1]
