Injustice 2 Atrocitus Profile

“Our hellish hate will burn you all!” – Atrocitus words when utilizing super move

Real Name: Atros
Gender: Male
Species: Demon
Debut: Green Lantern Vol 4 #25
Voice: David Sobolov

Atrocitus, formerly known as Atros, was a native to the planet Ryut in Space Sector 666. For a time, he lived a peaceful life as a psychologist. But that ended when a programming malfunction occurred in the universe’s then-protectors, the Manhunters. The cybernetic androids slaughtered the entire Sector, leaving only a handful of survivors (he was included among the survivors). Blaming the incident on the Guardians, he swore vengeance. Eventually, Atrocitus founded the Red Lantern Corps, becoming the first Red Lantern. Fueled by rage instead of willpower, he dedicated his Corps to fight the Guardians and all who aligned with them, including the Green Lantern Corps.
