I awoke recently from a screaming nightmare in which Lantern-Spectrum-mania took over everything. It's far from impossible, you know. If there's one motto the Big Two have cleaved to in my vast lifetime like canine poop to a brand-new shoe, it's the one that goes,
"If we can claim this worked once, we can shove it up everyone's nose everywhere all the freakin' time!! Stupid fanboys!"
Brace yourselves for the following:
Rainbow-colored Durlans Winathians who shoot "emotional spectrum" lightning U.P. currency that looks like it blew in from downtown Toronto Legion crossovers involving Gemworld, Color Kid and (of course) Dazzler-- but containing up to 25% actual Legion content, of course Smallville Legion breakfast cereals and fruit "roll-ups"
I'm just sayin'...

I think the Rainbow Lanterns are a direct result of this:

Nixon Lad of course means that on Monday he wears Magenta that blend must make him both a commie and a homosexual.
On Tuesday he wears yellow. Only deviants wear yellow? He does spend time with an old English guy and a speedo-clad boy in a cave.
On Thursday he dons the Orange bat-suit and goes to Northern Ireland to oppress the catholic minority. Finally something Senator Kennedy and Nixon Lad can agree on. Stop Batman!!
On Friday he jets off to Lybia where he wraps himself in the green of the Lybian flag and has a tea with that enemy of Amerika.
On Saturday he wears purple. Seriously purple? That's just unAmerican.
And finally he wears the navy/black suit on Sunday when he should be resting with all the pious in Amerika.

Which is why Batman was never the inspiration for the Legion, he was blacklisted.
So maybe that's the big Ranzz family secret - Dad was really a (fill in your colour of choice here) Lantern. And Universo used to wear a magenta suit, and he was some sort of outcast Lantern... so the basis is there for Cleome's visionary nightmare.

When you say "visionary nightmare," it sounds so much more like something that I should get paid for, even if it's only in Parisian macaroons.
As a long-standing fan of the Espionage Squad, I despair of their success rate on missions if Durlans become sort of ambulatory mood rings. I mean, you're trying to convince your quarry that you're enraged enough to beat the tar out of him. Yet, your skin tone is a lovely shade of blue, which (as everyone who survived the 2970s knows) means you're not even remotely upset.
We are in so much trouble when this craze takes off... Let's not even discuss what'll happen to the poor Talokians. Like they haven't already been through enough...

Those sneaky Espionagers would probably use fake colours to deceive evil-doers. Which could also explain the blue skin for Talokian barbarians...

Well, I remember that there were the "regular" blue Talokians, and the ones that were closer to Teal or something. I'm not sure how the extra green tint in your skin inclines you more towards evil than not, unless Colu figures in there somehow.
