#2: Morro

Look at him! This is new best Lantern, hands down... (we'll see if Dex'Starr, Perdoo or MAYBE Larfleeze?! has anything to say about it later though)

He has a cute outfit and design and I loved him from the moment Rot Lop Fan introduced Data 7 to him.

Morro is the keeper of the Crypts on Oa and this worked well for both Scar and I because I know how much Scar loves going into the lore of characters and stuff. So for their first few meetings, Data 7 would ask Morro about the Crypts while also trying to get to know him better.

Despite Morro being a Green Lantern and thus being of strong will, he's still incredibly nervous and cautious around others, alarmingly so. The whole idea of characters seemingly low of will, but being Lanterns because in comparison to others of their species or sector, they were just that much higher, is pretty interesting to think and talk about. Data 7, being the curious pup that he is, constantly asks these strange beings all about themselves and their homes to learn more.

Morro's backstory is sad times. The Manhunters got out of control, back in the day, and completely annihilated what is now his sector (666). We even recently got to go to Ysmault which was one of the planets that was ravaged by the Manhunters (which I mentioned in my Dex'Starr write up). I think Ysmault and Sector 666 as a whole is currently my top interest in terms of space stuff. Not only does it have the Red Lanterns, it's also Morro's sector. Will there be a time that Data 7 needs to pick sides and it'll completely suck and I won't know what to do? Yes, this is pretty certain. If only the Red Lanterns could get along with the Green... that would be the optimal.

Either way, even though it's only been a few months worth so far, I've GREATLY enjoyed Data 7 and Morro's relationship. Even though Morro is wary, nervous of being so close to others, Data 7 has gotten him to open up slowly and bit by bit, using his tiny size to make it easier for Morro to manage. Even though we're supposed to be keeping a tight lip on most of our trips out in space, for fear of angering the guardians or otherwise, Data 7 ALWAYS tells Morro exactly how their missions go down. He wants someone to trust and for someone to show him that same trust and I think that Morro was a great choice for that.

Morro also has a few pet dratures (little dragon thingies) that are often found flying around the Crypts which are always fun to interact with. Currently one hates Data 7 but the other one likes him a lot! They are seemingly motivated by food. Who wouldn't be?!

Besides Data 7 and Morro's relationship, I appreciate the atmosphere and mood that is set whenever Data 7 heads down to the Crypts to visit, it's such a pleasure to imagine... and hey! I even decided to get a commission of the two meeting at the Crypt!

Surprisingly, when we were on trial again from the Guardians and they were like hey why'd you visit the Red Lanterns, Morro actually came down himself, IN PERSON, to speak on our behalf. In front of so many people, I was so proud of him :)

And then recently, Data 7 had asked Morro to come down to the Warriors bar to have some snacks and a drink with him! Essentially, Data 7 is just trying to get Morro more comfortable around other beings... but he also just really likes spending time with him, no matter the location. Morro was able to last a good 15 minutes before they decided to head to somewhere more quiet... but progress is progress!

I'm excited to see where Morro and Data 7's relationship goes and also what kinds of things that Scar has in store for best Lantern, I get the feeling he'll be pretty important when things start to shake up more, or at least, I would hope so!

I think a problem I'm going to run into is that since I have such a strong attachment to Morro, it's going to make it difficult to really latch onto some of the other Corps, it's already getting a bit difficult with the Red Lanterns, as much as I wanna hop on board with them.

This has tied back to Data 7 a bit in the fact that he's been TOLD he could probably BE a Red Lantern... along with Xander Stray. They've both got the anger, the rage in their hearts to wield a ring... likely.

Data 7 has talked in detail with Morro about this and Morro doesn't want to see Data 7 consumed by his anger... which I mean... makes sense.

But the power. The idea of being able to become strong enough to do the things you want, hurt the ones you want to hurt, protect the ones you want to protect. Just some words from a friend can't beat that... and it's an internal struggle that Data 7 is constantly going through, especially when talk of the Red Lanterns comes up. It's an emotion and feeling that I don't believe Morro quite understands of Data 7 and despite them being super close, I hope it doesn't become some sort of blockade for them.

Either way, this internal struggle for Data 7, the Red Lanterns and just Morro have been such a pleasure for me to dig into and I'm excited to see where the space stuff goes next.
