Okay, we all know that Prime joined The Sinestro Corps and while he was given a newer and much cooler (IMHO) version of his old Monitor Armor...why didn't he get a Sinestro Corps Ring? I mean you would think that he would have taken at least one...or eight (like Hank Henshaw) as a precautionary back-up source of power just in case his armor was torn to pieces...which it was...before heading into battle with almost all of Earth's Heroes, tons of Green Lanterns and The Guardians of the Universe.

I wondered that too But I guess hes soooo dam powerful he doesnt need one. But when all the heroes fought him and ripped off his armor and depowered him that yellow ring would have helped....

Indeed, I mean sure the Sun eventually came up but not before he was nearly beaten to death. I think it was a foolish mistake on his part not to have taken a Power Ring. He may have the mentality of a fifteen year old but he was going to War with Earth, The Green Lantern Corps and The Guardians of The Universe. Even a brat like Prime should have known it was not going to be an easy fight and that some sort of back-up power source would be needed just in case things went wrong. It just doesn't seem right that Geoff Johns wrote him as not having at least one Power Ring on hand.

Yeah, I think he was just to cocky to accept a ring. But then again, I doubt Sinestro would grant a ring to loose cannon like Prime.

I know what you saying but its not like hes wasnt an all powerful loose cannon without a ring......the ring wouldnt have mattered.......it would basically be a sidearm to Prime.
