I was curious if having a physical body is necessary to wield a Lantern Corps ring. We’ve seen all sorts of people wield them; planets, animals, aliens, etc. But, could a ghost perhaps wield one?

If the fiction writer wants a make-believe non-corporeal entity to do something, then obviously the make-believe non-corporeal entity will do what the fiction writer wants it to do. (But that breaks continuity!! LOL as if that's never stopped comic book writers...)– RonJohnSep 25 at 21:45
