ĭespite reservations, the Guardians went ahead with the repeal of the ban. Saying that the Guardians did not negotiate with terrorists, the Scarred Guardian blasted the Agent Orange hologram and presented a motion to repeal the Vega ban. Although the Guardians pointed out that it was the Controllers who had entered Vega, Agent Orange refused to listen, and declared that the treaty was null and void, and that the Guardians would submit to his demands or face the wrath of the Orange Lanterns. When the Green Lanterns recovered Stel and returned him to Oa, a hologram of Agent Orange burst forth and confronted the Guardians about the attempt to steal the Orange Battery. Stel was captured and seriously damaged, and Agent Orange ordered the Orange Lanterns to brand Stel with their seal. Enraged at this perceived violation, Agent Orange sent the Orange Lanterns to capture the Green Lantern Stel, who was pursuing a member of the Sinestro Corps. They found the Orange Lantern Power Battery and attempted to claim it, only for Agent Orange to unleash the Orange Lanterns from the battery to kill the Controllers. Journeying to Okaara, the Controllers discovered Larfleeze's underground palace and entered. However, the Controllers, aware of the coming War of Light, decided to seek out the orange light and harness it for their own power. Agent Orange tolerated them as they did not head to Okaara. When the Sinestro Corps War ended, multiple Yellow Power Rings made their way to the Vega system, and the Guardians authorized the Green Lanterns to enter the system and capture the rings and their bearers. Larfleeze won, and became the sole wielder of the Orange Battery, then known as Agent Orange. Larfleeze and Blooch accepted the deal, and then fought to the death. Additionally, only one could own the battery. If the two would give it up, they would be allowed to keep the Orange Battery, as long as it stayed buried in the temple on Okaara. The Guardians then said that all they wanted was the box containing Parallax.

However, their power was drained by the orange light, and several Guardians and Manhunters were killed, along with a third member of the thieves, leaving only Larfleeze and Blooch remaining. The Guardians then arrived with a force of Manhunters. Mesmerized by it, the three remaining thieves started fighting among themselves for the Lantern. Inside was an Orange Lantern Power Battery. Another of their group was killed by the forest, and the others fell into a temple. Making their way to Okaara, they entered the Forbidden Forest of Weeds. The other thing they stole was a map made by the fallen Maltusian Krona, said to contain something very valuable. The box was supposedly worth more than an entire star system, for it contained Parallax, the sentient embodiment of fear. They raided the planet Maltus, where one of their own was lost, and stole several treasures, mainly a box and a map. According to his own account, Larfleeze was one part of a group of five thieves who wanted to pull off the greatest heist in the history of their guild. One day he had an escape plan were he went on a corpse cart and clawed his way through an incinerator and led a revolt. But they were sent off to distant worlds for slavery. Larfleeze was forced to mate with a female prisoner named Brokia and they had many children. Aliens called Lakadakians came to conquer his world. He was mistreated by his parents, Larfloozee and Larflem, and his 16 siblings. He revealed that his people were farmers and he was considered ugly as a child. The origins of Larfleeze, also known as Agent Orange, remain shrouded in mystery, largely due to the actions of the Guardians of the Universe.
