The sudden change throws Hal off his game and countenance the United Planets ' Lanterns to apprehend Razer .

However , the United Planets , if they are the ones behind this campaign , are arise stronger by the second . With every additional luminousness they exact , they come nigher to claiming the powers of the White Lantern for themselves .
The White Lantern is meant to be the ultimate avatar of life itself and is hypothesise to be used by those who require to heal the world . The United Planets may want to bring order to the world , but if they ’re destroying the Central Power Batteries to gain power , then all they ’re doing is corrupting everything the White Lantern stands for .
