Plot
When the universe was in its infancy, the Guardians of the Universe, the first sentient beings to exist, harnessed the power of the green element (representing will) to create a battery of energy with which to maintain peace throughout the universe. However, the battery was vulnerable to the color yellow (representing fear), the opposite of green on the light spectrum. The Guardians hid the most concentrated source of yellow energy, the yellow element, to prevent others from using it against them.
