All of those powers are mentioned to stem from one supply – the White gentle of Life itself.
Whereas Halo’s powers would not have an emotional element and people powers don’t correspond to the particular talents of the Lantern Corps within the comics, there does appear to be a non secular connection of kinds between Halo’s powers and the facility of Life itself. Halo does signify a novel type of life, having been reborn after a Mom Field soul took refuge in a useless girl’s physique and resurrection is likely one of the distinctive powers of these uncommon people tapped to grow to be a White Lantern.
