Powers: Snap Trap fed on spines and used his hypnotic eyes to lure in his prey. His feeding method was to crush his prey's skull in his crocodilian jaws and extract the spine with his tongue. Somehow his prey was always left alive if in horrifying agony. His 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. Snap’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. Snap’s power ring could also counter the abilities of any Green Lantern’s power ring.

History: (Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1) - Snap Trap was chosen to be a member of the Sinestro Corps for his ability to instill great fear. Sinestro gathered Snap Trap 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.
