The Liberator was a large tower styled weapon of destruction that was developed by the Red Lantern Corps. Its purpose was the simple task of destroying entire worlds that the Red Lanterns intended to take their rage on as part of their crusade. These machines latched onto the surface of a planet with numerous insectile legs and contained a powerful explosive where a nuclear charge was used as part of the detonation process. To protect itself, the Liberator contained numerous weapon turrets for use to ward off attackers. In addition, numerous chambers were present for Red Lanterns to occupy until they decided to initiate the detonation process.
