Sister Sercy is a fictional character created by Geoff Johns and Philip Tan and was a member of the Blue Lantern Corps. Sister Sercy is the Blue Lantern of space sector 4[2] , and is chosen to be in the Blue Lantern Corps by Brother Hymm. She was a fictional heroine that appeared in DC Comics and had an unidentified homeworld and was partners with Saint Walker and other members in the Blue Lantern Corps. Sister Sercy was more like a church than a police force herself[3].
Origin History
Sercy was recruited by Brother Hymm and taken to Odym to be instructed by Ganthet and Sayd. Sercy’s homeworld had long been oppressed by Evil Star, an old foe of Green Lantern, and she was eager to use the blue light to stop him. During her induction, however, Larfleeze, the wielder of the orange light of avarice, sent his Orange Lantern Corps upon Odym to seize a Blue Lantern ring himself[4].
Hope
During the Beyond Hope event, Sercy welcomes back Saint Walker, who has been away from Odym for some time. Sercy tells Saint Walker that all new recruits to the Blue Lantern Corps have been asking to see him. Suddenly the Blue Lantern rings detect warships coming. The warships are from the Reach, who want to conquer the planet Odym and the rest of the universe. Sercy and her fellow blue lanterns try to defend Odym, but the Reach are overpowering them. The blue lantern rings are only on defensive mode, and require a Green Lantern in close proximity to be able to unlock their attack modes. Thus the blue lanterns retreat, and they start to create a shield around the central power battery. Saint Walker then tells the blue lantern to break the shield and continue to fight the Reach by freeing the scarabs from their hosts, but they fail – there are too many scarabs attacking. The blue lanterns, nevertheless, still have hope, and at last Kyle Rayner, the Green Lantern they needed to unlock their attack modes, arrives. They attack the Reach, but it’s too late; half of the planet Odym was already cocooned by the Reach. Reluctantly, Saint Walker drags the blue lanterns away from Odym. Walker tells the blue lanterns to go somewhere that the Reach can’t find them, and so they leave.
Powers and abilities
She possesses a blue power ring which gives her the ability to create force fields, energy blasts, flight, energy manipulation, energy constructs, and etc[5]. The blue power ring also makes her immune to avarice and rage, she also has the ability to give hope to others and purge. Sercy has the ability to purge the red taint of rage within those who were gripped by a red lantern power ring. She can turn individuals back to normal only if they possess another type of power ring at the same time; otherwise, the individual would be killed in the process. Her power ring also gives her the special ability to restore or heal damage.[6] Her ring was also made to weaken the Sinestro Corpsman’s ring [3].
Appearance
Sister Sercy is depicted as a female with a hoodie on her head and is known as a good character in the Blue Lantern Corps. She was a religious character in the DC Comics and her homeworld was oppressed by Evil Star. She was a blue lantern in sector 4 and she also appeared in Blackest Night: Death Becomes Us #0, as her cameo appearance[2], and her death was in Green Lantern: New Guardians #23, Keep Hope Alive. Sister Sercy’s homeworld is unknown, but she is identified as an alien that joins the Blue Lantern Corps while her homeworld was being oppressed by Evil Star. She was never noticed or appeared in any TV shows, only known to appear in comics.
Weakness
Sister Sercy needs to have a Green Lantern power ring, because without one, the user can only fly around and they cannot access the power of the blue power ring. Her weakness is also when hope is not enough. When Saint Walker attempted to use hope on Krona, saying “Those who do not have hope are blinded by it,” the attack was unsuccessful because Krona did have hope. Likewise, when Saint Walker defended himself against Invictus, his ring was ineffective against the higher being. Her other weakness is the recharge protocol; formerly, the rings needed to be charged after a period of 24 hours, regardless of how often they were used. Like other blue lanterns, her weakness can also be interference, as the continuing power of the rings’ connection to “universal hope” has a tendency to cause a form of interference to green power rings’ long-range communication[7].
