A Lensman is a super-virtuous male or female chosen by the agents of cosmic goodness in the universe to have his virtues magnified and augmented with a 'ruby lens.' The lensmen become the balance of power against forces of cosmic evil. On the greatest battlefields, employing the most violent weapons, the lensmen fight the most ferocious of all wars."
Anatomy of Wonder, p. 258. Bleiler, Checklist, p. 181. Currey, p. 456.
