The Life Entity is a fictional creature, a physical embodiment of all life within the DC Universe. Long ago starting all life from the planet Earth, it went on to create the seven entities of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum, and was hidden in a dimensional tear within the Earth by the Guardians of the Universe when they discovered its existence in order to preserve it from exploitation and possible harm.
The Life Entity formed as the embodiment of life at the beginning of the universe. It is not known whether the Entity was brought into the universe either by accident or by design. After driving away Nekron and the forces of the Black, the Entity was weakened as it was divided into the seven colors that led to the development of the Emotional Spectrum and other numerous organisms. This saw the birth of Ion (the Green Entity of ), Parallax (the yellow entity of fear), the Predator (the violet Entity of love), Ophidian (the orange Entity of avarice), the Butcher (the red Entity of rage), Adara (the blue Entity of hope), and Proselyte (the Entity of compassion). In order to regain its strength it sealed itself beneath the magma of the world where its entry into the universe and began to affect the cosmos around it. It retained a link to all life and any harm to it would fall upon the living. This contradicts the Guardians of the Universe, who claimed that sentient life began on Oa, and indirectly, their original homeworld of Maltus.
In their early history, the Guardians of the Universe were beginning to harness the green light of willpower and discovered the Entity. In order to protect it from being harmed, the Oans decided to protect it by lying that all life began on Oa and hid the existence of the Entity as well as the importance of the planet Earth. As well as justifying their authority, it diverted attention from the earth to Maltus and Oa, thus making any speculation towards the origin of life was directed at the Guardians themselves, and all dangers associated with it as well. This went as far as preventing humans from joining the Green Lantern Corps.
