Indigo Tribe
The Indigo Tribe is a fictional organization that appears in DC Comics publications, primarily those of the Green Lantern series. In the DC Universe, it is one of the seven major groups known to comprise the Lantern Corps. The group was created by comic book writer Geoff Johns and comic book artist Ethan Van Sciver. It made its debut in the issue #25 of Green Lantern (vol. 4) in December 2007.
The Indigo Tribe is one of the nine Corps of the emotional spectrum within the DC Universe setting. Each "Emotional Spectrum" Corps has both a corresponding color of the rainbow and an emotional theme attached to it, with several of the Corps (such as the Green Lantern Corps and Red Lantern Corps) being named after their respective color. The Indigo Tribe's members use indigo-light-powered rings and staffs and are powered by the indigo light of compassion.
The group first appeared in Green Lantern (vol. 4) #25, published in December 2007, where it is described as having a reclusive nature that makes it the most elusive group among its peers; the Tribe's stated purpose is to spread goodwill throughout the universe.
In a March 2009 interview with Newsarama, creator Geoff Johns said that the Indigo Tribe would be introduced in the Blackest Night series. Johns stated that he had been "very careful with Indigo because they're not what everyone expects, and they act very differently than what everyone expects". In April 2009, artist Ed Benes posted the artwork for the tie-in miniseries Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps, which features a member from each of the seven Corps; the solicitation copy announced "the first appearance of the mysterious Indigo, leader of the Indigo Tribe!". Johns later revealed the leader's name to be Indigo-1. Promotional material for Blackest Night described the group as being unknown to the DC Universe at large.
The Indigo Tribe made its first extended appearance in the July 2009 issue Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #1. Ethan Van Sciver, who created the initial design for the Indigo Tribe, said that members of the group abandon everything and devote themselves to compassion. Their uniforms have a basic, handmade appearance, their bodies are adorned with the Indigo Lantern symbol written in body paint, and they carry carved lantern-like staffs with them. Van Sciver also designed the staffs, which he wanted to look "lovingly handmade by people who had better things to do than make themselves look good", and said that his initial thoughts were that the Tribe would be opposites to the Orange Lanterns.
A group of Indigo Tribesmen, led by Indigo-1, traverses a desert landscape in Sector 3544, where it observes explosive displays of green and yellow light in the distance. The group investigates the site and finds a wounded Green Lantern Corps member lying on the ground. He reports that he was in a conflict with a "being who knows no mercy" and tells the group to stay away so as to not attract the being's attention. Indigo-1 says something, but when the Green Lantern member asks his ring to translate, it replies that it cannot, despite having a catalog of known languages in the DC Universe. Indigo-1 kneels and places her hand on his heart; her indigo power ring responds with the word "will". Drawing power from the Green Lantern, she creates a simple green light construct that fatally suffocates him. The attacker, a member of the Sinestro Corps, emerges and exclaims that he will not be taken down as easily as he fires a beam of yellow energy at Indigo-1. However, Indigo-1 is not fazed by his threat, and her power staff absorbs the beam. As her power ring says "fear", she creates a monstrous yellow light construct that frightens her attacker away.
Indigo-1 and Munk arrive on Earth to help Hal Jordan, the Flash, and the Atom escape from a group of Black Lanterns. Indigo-1 channels Jordan's green light through her staff and kills Black Lanterns Elongated Man and Sue Dibny by destroying their rings. Indigo-1 explains that the Black Lanterns can only truly be defeated if the Corps work together and recreate the white light of creation.
Indigo-1 and her allies encounter the Life Entity, the embodiment of life. Hal Jordan bonds with the Entity; they convert some of the Black Lanterns into White Lanterns and resurrect Black Hand. Nekron is destroyed without Hand to act as a tether. The Indigo Tribe imprisons Hand, who bears an imprint of the Indigo Tribe symbol and a power staff.
