Today's review of the Green Lantern vs. Predator set from NECA Toys claimed that a Pred showed up as a member of the Sinestro Corps in the comics. Is that really true? Take a look:
That's from a big double-page spread in Green Lantern #24. He also showed up in the next issue, getting blown apart by Boodikka:
Plus, if the Predator species was frightening enough to become a Yellow Lantern, it makes sense that the Xenomorphs would, too:
Artist Ivan Reis really had fun with those cameos. And because not all alien life forms are scary, check out two of the friendlier extra-terrestrials who turned up as members of the Green Lantern Corps in GL #24:
It's a big universe out there! What other aliens would you like to see show up, and which power rings would they wield?
Red Lantern Gears of War Locusts
or Daleks!
The Blue Lanterns might recruit the heptapods from Arrival. The patience needed to teach someone your language would requite a lot of hope.
ALF and ET as Green Lanterns was brilliant, but not as brilliant as a Predator and a Xenomorph as Yellow Lanterns.
I remember that there was a gag about Hound of the Autobots becoming a Green Lantern (his argument being, "I'm already green!"), but I can totally see Starscream murdering Larfreeze to get his hands on the Orange Power Ring.
Heh. And depending on which Optimus Prime we're talking about, I can see him wielding a Blue Power Ring (since generally he inspires hope in the Autobots), a Purple Power Ring (his "freedom is the right of all sentient beings" shtick) or a Red one (especially the more bloodthirsty Michael Bay one).
As long as we're talking Transformers? Imagine a Black Lantern Unicron
Na'vi would totally be Indigo.
I could see Larfleeze losing his Orange Lantern to a Ferengi.
What about the things from Pitch Black? They're blind, right? They could be the Yellow Lantern equivalents of Rot Lop Fan
Opposite, actually: super sensitive to light, which is why they could operate in the dark. It would still make a great contrast (as long as just being in the presence of a power ring's energy doesn't burn them).
I nominate Kris Statlander for Star Sapphire...
