B'dg
Encyclopedia : B : BD : BDG : B'dg
B'dg (pronounced like 'badge') is a character in the DC Comics series Green Lantern. His first appearance is in Green Lantern (current series) #4, and he also appears in the first issue of Green Lantern Corps: Recharge.
He is an anthropomorphic squirrel-like creature from the planet H'lven, and a trainee member of the Green Lantern Corps. As a trainee, he had not learned how to overcome the weakness of his power ring against the color yellow, or the nature of the Yellow Impurity. He, and several other recruits simply assumed their was something "wrong" with their rings. B'dg is the Green Lantern of sector 1014, formerly the responsibility of Ch'p.
B'dg and several of his fellow trainees met Hal Jordan when the latter visited Oa shortly after his reincarnation. Jordan was surprised that the new recruits knew nothing of his dubious past. Ironically, B'dg and his fellows seemed to know a great deal about Earth. B'dg was particularly surprised to see someone from such a primitive planet as a Green Lantern, and commented on the ugliness of the human species. He was especially amused when Kilowog quipped that Jordan was not only pathetically human, but an American as well.
When the Spider Guild Nest attacked Oa's sun, B'dg and his fellow trainees were sent into action to repel the invasion. The trainees were hampered by their inability to affect the yellow colored attack ships of the Guild. Instructed in the midst of battle by Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, and other senior Corps members, B'dg discovered to his delight that he could overcome his ring's weakness, and he and his fellow trainees helped defeat the Guild and sent their Nest hurtling back to the Vega System.
B'dg was one of the Green Lanterns who defended Oa against Superboy Prime, although his role in the battle was marginal. In Green Lantern Corps #1, which takes place in the One Year Later timeframe, B'dg has earned his badge and is presumably a full-fledged Green Lantern. He is shown enjoying the questionable cuisine in the Level 3006 canteen on Oa.
B'dg was created by Geoff Johns.
