| Origin |
| Desiring
to atone for the disastrous consequences of the evil acts of Krona, the Maltusian's
of Oa became the
Guardians of the
Universe. Choosing to work through
proxies, the Guardians created an army of law-enforcement androids called the
Manhunters. Armed with a stun-gun that drew it
energy from a hand-held power battery, the precursors to the
Green
Lanterns were sent to sectors of the Universe beset by evil. For
centuries they successfully combated injustice with the oath,, "No
evil escapes the Manhunters."
For unknown reasons the Manhunters rebelled
against their former masters, unwilling to risk their existence for the
cause of justice. Invading
Oa, the androids were repelled, but would
over the millennia continue to oppose the Guardians and their agents the Hallas
and later the Green Lantern Corps. |
