Powers: Like all members of his race Shorm possessed twenty tentacles. As a Green Lantern, Shorm wielded a power ring capable of doing almost anything he could imagine as long as it was recharged by his emerald power battery once every 24 hours. Examples of its' powers include flight, phasing, creating giant objects formed of energy, and force fields.

History: (Green Lantern / Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1) - When the Guardians reformed the Green Lantern Corps Shorm was recruited to act as desk sergeant. Shorm and Salaak spent hours complaining about the unprofessional nature of Earth's Green lantern representatives.

(Green Lantern IV #9) - Hal Jordanwent to Oa to replace his damaged power battery, and Shorm upbraided him for being such a sloppy ringslinger. He groaned about the amount of paperwork needed to requisition a new personal power battery and told Hal that if he had 21 arms instead of 20 he'd hit him.

(Green Lantern IV #25) - The Sinestro Corps War raged on Earth, and while Shorm, the GLC and an army of superheroes battled the Corps the Anti-Monitor prepared to unleash an anti-matter wave to destroy Earth. With Earth’s destruction, the entire 52 would fall, and he would once again rule all that was. The GLC ruptured the heart of Anti-Monitor’s Warworld, the Sinestro Corps central power battery, and created a shield around Warworld and the Monitor. The ensuing blast nearly destroyed the Anti-Monitor, and he was finished off by Superman-Prime, who betrayed him for having destroyed his home, Earth-Prime. GL Hal Jordan defeated Sinestro in personal combat, and the Sinestro Corps, lacking any leadership, fled Earth. The heroes rejoiced and began rebuilding the damage the Sinestro Corps did.
