Also, one of those big prophetic types (his name escapes me at the moment but I think it was Sandman) said that Kyle would ultimately be greater than Hal. He has already started that by being intimate with fear (this was stated by Sandman, who said something akin to Hal would never understand fear, therefore would never be able to overcome it*)
See Hal has willpower, but he has no true courage. In order to be courageous you have to fear something and then overcome it. Hal has never had a fear to overcome (hence why he will always be the true man without fear). It all then goes into a circle that because Kyle has courage, it would amp his base willpower to do something thus in the end Kyle > Hal.
no offense, but thats doesnt hold alot of water when U consider the fact that a GL is PICKED by "their ability to overcome great fear". this was how the francise was concieved of from Showcase #22 and held stead all the way til now. if we go by wat Dream said then Kyle would NEVER be picked by a Ring since he wouldnt have that needed fearlessness.
and, more to the point, Kyle was never choosen by a Ring, but had his gift tossed to him cuz Guy turned it down, PLUS Hal atleast has the excuse of having been exposed to the YFM/Parallax w/o knowing wtf was going on (think about all of the times he's been inside of the CPB, and then look how long it took the YFM to actually take him over; now look at Kyle getting invaded by it.
exactly, Kyle knew about the YFM and *still* got taken over (as well as being made to cry like a girl in front of Sinestro). and lets not forget that Hal was the only GL in GL:Rebirth to outright resist the YFM when it was right in his face, whereas Kyle and the other 3 got swarmed.
that, RIGHT THERE, tells ya who has more willpower.

Least thats my opinion on it. At the moment though Hal = Kyle, and this can be based on any number of their feats since they are in direct correlation with their willpower (though Ive never seen Hal create green lantern speed force users, daxamites, or Oblivion type creatures
)
*This would be a good time for Kyle to show that by ultimately overcoming Paralax
not bad, but then again Hal would never have to be told (repeatedly) that "he holds the most powerful weapon in the universe" by his teammates (happend to Kyle all the time in JLA), have to constantly be told that he COULD do something (during Kyles run in the book AND JLA pre-Ion), or or be renderd ineffective by something as easily reversible as going blind or given a stomach virus.
granted, he'd be kayod by a semi-soft bar of margerine but still.......
