LGBT Character Of The Week: Obsidian

Black goes with everything, not to mention it's very slimming. Obsidian is an expert on the subject. From the pages of my favorite comic, Green Lantern, Todd Rice has the power to merge his body with his own shadow, giving him enhanced strength and vitality. As a shadow, he can fly, as well as envelop enemies, showing them their dark side. He has also shown other shadow-related abilities at times, due to his connection to the Shadowlands as the source of his powers.
Todd is the twin brother to fellow superhero Jade, (who died earlier this year). They are both the children of Golden Age Green Lantern and villain Thorn. The siblings founded Infinity, Inc.
Unfortunately, along with his powers, also inherited his mothers potential for mental illness, Combined with manipulations from villain Ian Karkull, this led to him being a villain himself for a brief period of time. After his defeat, he retires from the hero business and in that time comes to terms with the fact that he is gay. He met and fell in love with Damon Matthews, an associate of Manhunter.
Obsidian recently returned to being a superhero, and works as a guard for the Justice Society, He is still happily dating Damon.

You referred to him in the second sentence (with a link to Wikipedia) as "Oblivion"
Yeah, for a second I was like "Who's 'Oblivion'" ;)
Oops..
someone has been playing too many Bethesda games lately :)
Fixed.
