Larfleeze (New 52)

*"More! More! MORE!"*

## **Summary**

In the New 52 DC Comics series, **Larfleeze**, also known as **Agent Orange** and the **Orange Lantern**, is portrayed as a unique and complex character in the cosmic landscape of the DC Universe. He is the sole wielder of the Orange Light of Avarice from the emotional spectrum, representing greed. Larfleeze's character is defined by his insatiable greed, eccentric personality, and his role as both a comic relief and a formidable force. His backstory, originating from the planet Sh'pilkuzz, involves a tragic and manipulative past that shapes his obsessive nature and his relentless pursuit of possessions, making him a deeply flawed yet intriguing character. Larfleeze's powers are derived from his orange power ring, which is fueled by avarice. Unlike other Lantern Corps, the Orange Lantern Corps is unique in that Larfleeze is its only member, with other 'members' being constructs created from the souls of those he has killed and absorbed. These constructs are bound to his will, allowing him to command an army of phantom Lanterns. His ring grants him immense power, including the ability to create nearly indestructible constructs, flight, and enhanced physical abilities. His power is so vast that it often leads him into conflict with other Lantern Corps and the broader universe. The relationships Larfleeze has are primarily driven by his greed and distrust of others. His interactions with characters such as Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), the Guardians of the Universe, and other Lantern Corps members are often antagonistic, marked by his desire to possess their power rings. However, there are moments of alliances formed out of necessity, showing a more pragmatic side to Larfleeze. Despite his overwhelming greed, there are rare glimpses of vulnerability in his character, hinting at a deeper complexity beneath his obsessive exterior. In the New 52 storyline, Larfleeze's narrative is both humorous and pivotal. He is central to the "Wrath of the First Lantern" event, where his greed plays a significant role in the larger conflict. His solo series, "Larfleeze," delves into his pursuit of more power and wealth, exploring his origins and the nature of his greed. This series offers a deeper understanding of his character, blending humor with moments of surprising insight into the loneliness and emptiness that drive his avarice. Throughout these arcs, Larfleeze remains a character of contradictions, embodying the destructive nature of greed while providing a unique and colorful presence in the DC universe.
