Fictional Background
When Green Lantern fought Itty the first time, he was a giant lonely cosmic entity without companionship. In Green Lantern #43 vol. 2 Itty brings his wife, another Lasma, to earth to escape the Laroo and to give birth to Ayries. Their trail incite an alien invasion from the Laroos. The Laroo have been killing their race for eons to incite the destruction of their species by ensueing a "Holy War." The thought of a false deity engravened their race which created hostility towards this "pretender" so they capture Lasma with their Grapple Rays. The last female of their species needed to give birth on Earth or they would die out so Itty leaves his wife behind to defeat the impending threat. Hal Jordan frees the Lasma in order to help Itty. Itty and Hal Jordan both repulse the alien invaders so Lasma can give birth and indoing so give Hal Jordan the responsibility of taking care of them (the Ayries need no food, air or water to live) after which, in another four-thousand years, the baby starfish-like Ayries will become Lasma themselves.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or background:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
