   Larfleeze, also known as Agent Orange, is a supervillain and anti-hero who serves as the sole living member and leader of the Orange Lantern Corps. He wields the orange light of avarice from the Emotional Spectrum and refuses to share its power with anyone. Larfleeze is a thin, feral-looking alien with a long grey head, two blade-like protrusions extending from his cheeks, and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. He has orange hair, white or yellow eyes, and brown skin, and typically wears the orange uniform of his Corps. Hal Jordan initially nicknamed him "Gonzo" because of his resemblance to the Muppet.

   Larfleeze is a Sh'pilkuzzian from the planet Sh'pilkuzz (also called Ogatoo), located in Sector 2828 of the Vega system. He is several billion years old, making him one of the oldest beings in the Universe. He is essentially neutral in alignment, driven entirely by self-interest. His base of operations is the planet Okaara, which he has since renamed Larfleezia. His real name is technically a secret — "Larfleeze" was originally an alias — though the distinction has become largely academic over the billions of years he has lived.

   His origin begins with his birth into a large, impoverished farming family on Sh'pilkuzz. His parents, Larfloozee and Larflem, initially tried to abandon him due to his ugly appearance but were forced to keep him. He was mistreated by them and by his sixteen or more siblings throughout his childhood. His world was later conquered by the Ladakidians, a race of galactic conquerors, and Larfleeze was taken as a slave and subjected to brutal conditions. His masters starved him and his fellow slaves to weed out the weak. This deprivation deeply affected him — at some point he began to "hear" the material possessions of his masters' society begging him to own them. During his enslavement, he was forced to mate with a fellow prisoner named Bronkia, and they had many children who were sold off into slavery.

   Larfleeze eventually escaped and led a revolt. He then turned to a life of interstellar thievery, joining a small guild of five outlaws. Together they pulled off a massive heist on the planet Maltus, stealing several treasures — most notably a mysterious box that contained Parallax and a map belonging to the Guardian Krona. The Guardians of the Universe sent their Manhunters after the thieves. Following the map into the Vega system, the surviving members discovered the Orange Central Power Battery buried in a temple on the planet Okaara. Overcome by the avarice it radiated, the thieves turned on each other in a frenzy of greed. The Guardians intervened and struck a deal: the thieves would surrender the box containing Parallax, and in return could keep the Orange Battery — but it had to remain on Okaara, and only one person could own it. Larfleeze and his companion Blooch accepted the terms and fought to the death for sole ownership. Larfleeze won. He then massacred his remaining companions — Chattle, Flobb, Bloo, and Turpa — and used the ring's power to trap their souls as orange light constructs, creating his "Corps." His origins are notably shrouded in mystery and unreliability. The Guardians themselves have obscured parts of his history, and there are strong indications that much of what he tells about his past is fabricated or distorted — his mind may have collapsed in on itself over billions of years, and his "memories" may be products of longing rather than fact.

   In terms of powers, Larfleeze possesses flight, aura projection, hard-light construct generation from orange energy, the ability to steal the identities of those he kills and recreate them as orange light replicas, absorption of green light constructs and mystical energies including magic, immortality, energy and matter manipulation, and superhuman strength, durability, and speed. Because the orange light embodies greed, it cannot be shared. His "Corps" is therefore an army of soul-constructs rather than living members. The only exception was a single ring briefly given to Lex Luthor at the insistence of the renegade Guardian Ganthet.

   Larfleeze's personality is defined by his insatiable greed. He is obsessed with food, possessions, and ownership, and his catchphrase is simply "MINE!" He is illiterate and has never learned to read. The orange light's influence has crippled his mind to the point that he can rarely think beyond immediate material desires. When briefly separated from his ring, his first words upon its return are "Keep it away from me!" — before immediately snapping back to "Mine!" once it's on his finger. Despite his monstrous nature, he is not purely evil — he has formed reluctant alliances with other Lanterns when facing existential threats, and his core motivation is always self-preservation and accumulation rather than malice for its own sake.

   Among his most notable storylines, his first encounter with Hal Jordan was violent — when Hal tried to offer his Blue Lantern ring, Larfleeze attempted to take it by force, and when the ring rejected him, he created an orange axe and severed Hal's hand. He was a key participant in the Blackest Night crossover, where overwhelmed by Black Lantern manifestations of his own constructs, he was forced to venture beyond the Vega system for the first time and entered a reluctant alliance with leaders of the other Corps — Hal Jordan, Sinestro, Atrocitus, Indigo-1, and Saint Walker — along with the renegade Guardians Ganthet and Sayd. Kyle Rayner freed him from the Book of the Black during the same event. At one point he also became a member of the reformed New Guardians group.

   The Orange Central Power Battery is notably small and handheld, unlike the larger batteries of the other Corps. The Orange Light is unique in the Emotional Spectrum in that it precludes sharing entirely — greed, by nature, cannot be communal.

   The planet Larfleeze resides on is Okaara, the thirteenth planet in the Vega star system (Sector 2828). It orbits the star Vega, the second-brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere after Arcturus. The planet has two known moons, one of which is named Visaya, and its dominant lifeform is the Okaaran. It was formerly affiliated with both the Alien Alliance and Alien Alliance II. Okaara is also notably the homeworld of the Warlords of Okaara — the race that trained Starfire (Princess Koriand'r) and the villain Fatality to be warriors. After claiming the planet for himself, Larfleeze renamed it Larfleezia.

   As for landmarks, Okaara is relatively sparse in described geography but has a few key features. The most important is the Forbidden Forest of Weeds, a dangerous jungle area filled with giant man-eating plants. It was here that one of Larfleeze's companions, Flobb, was killed during the original heist. Beneath the forest lies an ancient underground temple or palace, which is the location of the Orange Lantern Central Power Battery — a small, handheld device (unlike the massive batteries of other Corps) that houses Ophidian, the serpentine entity of avarice. The battery was buried there by an unknown creator long before the Guardians of the Universe existed, and its location was only known through a map once belonging to the Guardian Krona. The temple itself is the de facto headquarters of the Orange Lantern Corps, and Larfleeze guards it obsessively. Beyond these two features, the planet's surface is not described in great detail in the comics — it is essentially a weedy, jungle-covered world whose significance lies almost entirely in what is buried beneath it.

   The origin of the Orange Lantern Corps stretches back millennia — long even for beings as ancient as the Guardians of the Universe themselves. In the earliest days of the universe, seven entities were spawned, each representing a single emotion. Ophidian, a large serpent, embodies the subtle power of avarice (greed). Millennia ago, the Guardians went to war with the Keeper of the Orange Light, and their forces were nearly destroyed in the conflict. Peace was eventually reached through a pact — cleverly concealed within a peace treaty with the Spider Guild — which stipulated that as long as the Keeper of the Orange Light kept the power buried deep beneath the surface of Okaara, the Vega system would remain outside the jurisdiction of the Green Lantern Corps.

   The Orange Central Power Battery itself was created by the Controllers, an offshoot of the Oan race, as an experimental emotional spectrum weapon. It was buried in a temple on Okaara, where it remained dormant for eons. Billions of years ago, Larfleeze and his band of thieves stole a map belonging to the Guardian Krona during a heist on the planet Maltus, along with a mysterious box containing the fear entity Parallax. Pursued by the Guardians and their Manhunters, the guild followed the map to Okaara. They entered the Forbidden Forest of Weeds, where one of their number was killed by the jungle's man-eating plants, and the survivors fell into the underground temple. Inside they discovered the Orange Central Power Battery. Overcome by the avarice it radiated, the remaining thieves turned on each other. The Guardians arrived and, desperate to recover Parallax, offered a deal: surrender the box, and the orange light could be kept — but only by one person, and it had to remain on Okaara. Larfleeze and his companion Blooch accepted and fought to the death. Larfleeze won, became the sole wielder of the orange light, and was designated Agent Orange. He then massacred his remaining companions and trapped their souls as orange light constructs, forming his "Corps."

   Later, the Controllers — seeking a power source to rival the Green Lantern Central Power Battery after the Sinestro Corps War — tracked the orange light to Okaara and descended into the temple. When they attempted to seize the battery, Larfleeze unleashed his constructs upon them and slaughtered them all. Enraged by the Controllers' breach of the ancient isolation agreement, Larfleeze declared the Guardians' treaty null and void, vowing that his Corps would descend upon them if his demands were not met. This set the stage for his eventual involvement in the Blackest Night crossover, where he was forced to venture beyond the Vega system for the first time.
