Canonically, if you wear all the Emotional Spectrum rings you will become a White Lantern. I don’t see why you need an Infinity Gauntlet rip-off that needs five Lantern rings while Kyle Rayner already used all of them and give it to another villain.

TL;DR: You don’t get “Ultimate Power” by simultaneously using five rings. You get TRUE Ultimate Power by using all SEVEN RINGS and becoming the White Lantern. Is Ultimate Power the point of your to-be villain? Why not make the Green Lantern-hater a White Lantern himself/herself/Itself? I thought that the Lantern gauntlet would be a great idea. Not practical, an outright Infinity Gauntlet rip-off and if you still want to be competitive, Krona’s Gauntlet from the Renegade Hal Jordan series.

It’s not. And this is the first time I say this because I have to be straight forward in this case. DC has recently ripped off the F4 and we sure as hell don’t want another blatant rip-off. Besides what’d a Gauntlet do to harness the rings? You can just put on five of them and blam, there’s your Idea simplified.
