Blackest Night

The White Lantern Corps is formed when Hal Jordan merges with the Entity to combat Nekron and his Black Lantern Corps and end the Blackest Night. They end the terrors of Blackest Night by bringing Black Hand back to life.

The members are composed of the resurrected heroes Nekron commanded to "DIE".

As of now, the only member of the "Corps" who still wields a white power ring is Boston Brand.

Brightest Day

The Entity tells Boston Brand that it is dying. It searches for a new champion, but Brand must find its replacement. In addition to Brand, there are 12 newly risen heroes who need to protect the champion. If each of them accomplish their individual missions, they are granted life as a prize.

Purpose

In Brightest Day: Aquaman #3, the entity reveals the purpose of the other reason for the resurrected heroes. It revealed to Brand that the Earth has been corrupted by mankind for years and that Nekron's attack worsened the corruption to the point that the Earth will die soon. Those resurrected by the White Lantern serve one of two purposes in the Entity's plan. That is to either prevent further destruction and buying Brand more time to find the Champion or by purifying their souls by overcoming what held them back in life. The ones that must purify their souls are Ronnie Raymond, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman.

Conclusion

Upon finishing Captain Boomerang's mission, George threw his boomerang towards Dove as instructed. Hawk notices it and tries to deflect it but rather becomes cut from it. Boston at the very last second steps in front of the on coming boomerang as it lodges into his chest. A burst of white energy is shortly released from Boston. As his life fades, the ring is removed from Boston and his inhaled Alex Holland's corpse giving him life. Reborn, The Parliament Trees wrap Alex's body as he becomes the Swamp Thing as he battles the Swamp Thing created by Nekron. The rings created the logo to appear on his chest. After the battle, everyone had their lives restored except Boston who questioned this. When he sought out these answers from the power battery, it disappeared in a blast. No battery or rings have appeared since then.
