==Summary==
Volthoom, also known as the First Lantern, was a human scientist from Earth 15 in the year 3079. When his planet was about to be destroyed by Pulsar, Volthoom was given the Travel Lantern by his mother so that he could travel through time and space, and even the multiverse to find a way to prevent the destruction of their planet.
Volthoom used the lantern to travel to countless Earths until he reached Earth 0, also known as Maltus, home planet of the Guardians of Oa. Using his knowledge of the Emotional Spectrum and the Guardian's intellect, they created the Great Heart and the first lantern ring, which Volthoom used to become a force of security and order. 
However, he couldn't handle its power and eventually lost his mind. In order to stop Volthoom, the Guardians destroyed his travel lantern and with the help of the first seven Green Lanterns, sealed Volthoom inside the Chamber of Shadows where he remained for ten billion years until the Guardians took him out in order to use his powers to create the Third Army.

Notes:
* Atrocitus breaking Volthoom's neck is considered an outlier and Volthoom seemed uncaring at the time, and easily blasted him away seconds later. Volthoom also survived a combined attack from countless Lanterns including Atrocious without a scratch and withstood an attack from an enraged Sinestro without harm.
