SCHLAGG-MAN

Real Name: Unrevealed

Class: Extraterrestrial (Bismollian) technology-user

Occupation: Criminal, Sinestro Corps member

Group Affiliation: Sinestro Corps

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Space Sector 3493

First Appearance: Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1 (August, 2007)

Powers:  As a Bismollian Schlagg-Man could digest virtually any organic or inorganic matter. His teeth were made of Bismollian steel, enabling him to bite through metal. Schlagg-Man's primary weapon was his power ring, which was virtually identical to the power rings used by the Green Lantern Corps, except that it only utilized the yellow range of the spectrum, tapping into the emotional energy of fear. Schlagg-Man’s power ring was capable of doing almost anything he could imagine. Examples of its’ powers include flight, phasing, creating giant objects formed of energy, and force fields. 

History: (Green Lantern / Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1) - Schlagg-Man was a career criminal on Bisnoll, and after biting through a policeman's neck a judge ordered his teeth removed. Since then he had them replaced with Bismollian steel, and set out to revenge himself on the judge. Sinestro chose Schlagg-Man for the Sinestro Corps for his ability to instill great fear.

(Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1) - Sinestro gathered Schlagg-Man and the Sinestro Corps on Qward. Sinestro laid out their mission of using fear to make the chaos of the universe bend to their will, and to replace it with law and order. Their first step was to burn anyone that would oppose their plan, so they had to destroy the Green Lantern Corps. They brought Kyle Rayner to Qward and stripped him of the Ion entity. Sinestro made Kyle feel fear, and infected him with the Parallax entity, which he then presented to his guardian, the Anti-Monitor.

Schlagg-Man received a profile in Green Lantern / Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1.

Adam Schlagman was a writer and editor for DC, so I'm assuming Schlagg-Man is some sort of in-joke.
