The Black Lantern Power Battery contains the body of the Anti-Monitor. It is not known whether the Anti-Monitor is still alive within the battery, however his power is the source of power for the Black Lantern Corps. The Black Lantern Power Rings that were sent out have the ability to re-animate the dead. These re-animated corpses make up the Black Lantern Corps.Black Lanterns retain powers and abilities that they had prior to their deaths. Their rings provide some level of functionality even when charge levels are at 0.0%. They possess the ability to "see" the emotional state of others as an aura colored by the emotional spectrum. Their rings are charged by removing the hearts of their victims and turning the organs into energy that can be absorbed by the rings. The hearts filled with splintered light may be charging more than just the individual rings. While Scar is stating her actions with an entrapped Guardian, a black dialogue box keeps a running count of a rising power level. As Scar does not wield a ring or is ripping out hearts as she offers her reasoning, it may be assumed that Scar is keeping track of the total energy collected and that total energy is to be used for an as-yet-unknown reason.
Powers and Abilities
Black Lanterns seem to only have one definite weakness. If two different Lanterns from two separate Corps blast a Black Lantern at the same time, then that Black Lantern is destroyed for good. Black Lanterns are also slowed down when they are set on fire, but aren't destroyed by the flames. There were also some other undefined way to stop a Black Lantern. One of those was the Medusa Mask, which was shown in Blackest Night: Superman #3 to remove the Rings from the fingers of the Black Lanterns. That method was ended after the mask was destroyed in Blackest Night Superman #3. Another method, which was only used by Wonder Woman, was her using her lasso to create a magical fire that turned the army of Black Lanterns around her into a bunch of ash piles. This theory was shown in Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #1 and was immediately proven only to slow them down greatly when the ash pile of Maxwell Lord regenerated his body in the same issue. The easiest way to destroy a Black Lantern forever is to for a Green Lantern and another Lantern from another corp to combine their beams. A few other ways they were destroyed were only done once. Dove seemed to have the ability to destroy Black Lanterns with a touch since she had some sort of connection to the white light of life. Jericho was able to destroy Black Lanterns by taking control of their bodies and using made them steal their own hearts. Mr. Terrific built a machine that was capable of sending out a pulse over a certain distance that could destroy all Black Lanterns within range. As revealed in Blackest Night: Batman #3 a Black Lantern can't see something that doesn't feel any kind of emotion. It was also shown that Etrigan was immune to the heart ripping of the Black Lanterns. Halo was able to destroy 3 Black Lanterns by blasting them with the whole color spectrum of light. Doctor Light was also able to destroy a few Black Lanterns by using her powers to blast them with the correct spectrum of light. The plasma blood of a Red Lantern is strong enough to burn down a Black Lantern faster than they can rebuild themselves.
