Although "Star Sapphire" historically seemed to be tied to the Green Lantern villain, I suppose it's more of a fluid title or rank to be applied to anyone with a Violet power ring."<br /><br />Yep! The retcon for this was that the original Star Sapphires were empowered with a Star Sapphire gemstone, which is like, made of crystalized Power of Love basically...but because Love is one of the powers at the far end of the extremes of the Emotional Spectrum (and thus, one of the most intense) its influence over the average wielder (victim, more like) was WAY too strong, basically warping their personalities. <br /><br />tldr: the Zamarons realized it was entrenching itself way too much, and, finding themselves incapable of removing it after it latched onto one of their own, chose to "take a page out of the Book of Oa" as they put it, and create Violet Power Rings to channel the Violet Light of Love instead. <br /><br />Now most of the Star Sapphires are a little more in control of themselves, and ostensibly more heroic, considering themselves protectors and defenders of Love throughout the universe - though they still conflict sometimes with the Green Lantern Corps due to differing values and methods. Carol Ferris eventually became their leader even, and has been a superheroine instead of a supervillain for several years now :) <br /> Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840316413910459116noreply@blogger.com
