Hey, DCUA fans. I was wondering if there was anybody really familiar with the GL Corps who could help me with the names of some of the background GLs in the JLU episode "The Return." I'm considering some custom figures and its more fun to work on characters that have names ;). Also I'm just curious as a more casual GL fan. Anyway for convenience sake here are some pictures:

Thanks to this awesome website, The JL Resource (http://www.jlresource.com/good/glc.php), I'm off to a good start. The ones I know:

John Stewart
Kyle Rayner
Katma Tui
Kilowog
Tomar Re
Chriselon
Larvox
Palaqua
Salakk
Arisia

The ones I don't know:

In Picture 1:
-Pale Woman with Blue hair all the way to the left.
-Robotic looking GL two from the right

In Picture 2:
-Two from the left, Grayish Purple head with ridges and one eye.

If you know of any more obscure GLs from that episode that I missed please let me know. Also if there's any comic buffs that know the background or trivia about any of these more obscure GLs feel free to share, I'd be interested to know. Thanks! :)

Kilowog? Is that the guy between John and Katma? 'Cause if it is, boy, has he changed.:confused: :eek:

I'm not sure who the pale woman with the blue hair is, but I speculate that the robotic Lantern is RRU-9-2 (http://www.glcorps.org/rru-9-2.html).

That looks like a match to me. Thanks Karkull!

And yeah, that's Kilowog between John and Katma. His face does look a little odd in that picture.

Okay, looking through the GLs at Karkull's link I found this guy (http://www.glcorps.org/cyc.html) who greatly resembles the cyclopsian GL. Alternatively it could be this one (http://www.glcorps.org/spol.html) too, I guess. No trace of the lady with the blue hair though. On the plus side there's a ton of easy sculpting projects in there I could do to make random GLs who haven't appeared in JLU yet.

I'm glad JLR was of use.

Regarding those GLC, they were pretty tough to match up.

I was never really sure if the robot was RRU-9-2 or Teacher, but I was leaning towards RRU-9-2 based on the green metallic and yellow core but was never really sure.

Likewise, I was unsure if the one eye was Cyc or Spol but leaning more towards Cyc because both have one red eye.

As for the woman, I had this idea she was Tomy Fai.

Yeah JLR rocks! I can't remember how I originally stumbled upon it, but it's the only JLU site I know of that pays such close attention to the background characters. So thank you for that!

As for Tomy Fai, it very well could be her. The skin tone matches up well enough, it's just the blue hair that's throwing me off. I guess it's really up to someone who worked on the show to ID her. I love that they take cool liberties with the designs (Thank GOD for the JL incarnations of Killer Frost, Giganta and many others!), but with obscure characters it makes it rough to recognize the cameo.

Not to sound like I'm nitpicking, but the crystal GL from Barrio III is named Chaselon, not Chriselon.

Both cycloptic GL's Dark Knight mentioned are from the planet Cyc (heh), so I think "GL of Cyc" is a safe bet.

And the blue one looks like a miscolored K'ryssma to me.

But that's just me.

And does anyone remember Stel of Grenda? That's usually the first name that comes up when you think "robot GL."

I was wondering about Chaselon/Chriselon. I want to say I've seen it spelled Chriselon in the big DC Encyclopedia, but I could be remembering that wrong.

K'ryssma's Book of Oa bio (http://www.glcorps.org/kryssma.html) says she had an altered appearance after entering a crysalis state. Might that more resemble the blue lady from JLU???

I'm having a little trouble finding a picture of Stel...

And Dark Knight, K'ryssma's new form in the comic actually resembles an alien butterfly.

I never realized how many insectoid GLs there were before. Makes sense I guess, they're really the most successful branch of animal life on our planet they'd probably be flourishing out there in the universe.

Is Chaselon and Chriselon two different GL's because as Dark Knight noted there are conflicting names out there. I took a leap of faith and just used Chriselon on JLR.
