The Silver Surfer has multiple man's power and a power gem. I was asking if, when Silver Surfer 'duped' himself, he would also dupe a power gem.

The thread starter replied that, yes, but the Surfer couldn't have ten dupes all give him their power gem, thus giving a single Surfer eleven gems.

Though, since one power gem is supposed to give access to unlimited power or whatever...I don't know if it would matter. It might be similar to obtaining more lantern rings.

Where does this idea come from? I could have sworn it was explained that collecting rings doesn't allow you to become any more powerful.

When Hal is about to battle Sinestro, he has tons of rings on, and Sinestro only has one.
Sinestro declares that his defeat at the hands of Hal is a forgone conclusion when he's wielding that much power.
So Hal decided to fight him on fair ground, and dropped all but one ring.

What self-respecting Lantern Fan hasn't at least read Emerald Twilight?

Anyways; I will try to find what leads me to believe that more rings don't neccessarily mean more power. I know it's been said somewhat recently in comics. .

He said his ring was about dead, and he needed a weapon.
Then popped on a bunch of Sinestro rings, and said 'or weaponS'.

Although it failed him, because he could only bring the energy out of the rings, and not manipulate it.

His motivation for popping on a lot of sinestro corps rings couldn't have been a desire not to hear "Power levels 14%" every four panels?

It shows his incredible power of will, to not only harness some of the power within the rings -- but not let the emotions required to activate the rings, control him.

I'm thinking it's unlikely, given that the Sinestro Corp event is clearly homage to the original event, and in the original event, it makes it pretty clear that more rings is more power.

If the user thinks that more rings is more power, then more rings will equal more power.

Being that yellow is one of the closest to green on the emotional spectrum, I don't think it was quite as impressive as you make it out.

If he had taken a dozen red or violet rings and manipulated those without letting anger or love take him over, it would have been an incredible feat of will.

That is what I had heard latest. It's, more or less, a placebo effect that let's the user be more confident in himself.

Stop hating.

I'm not hating, I was merely pointing out that yellow and blue would be the easiest to use without succumbing to one's emotions.

What do you mean? The further away from green, the more the emotion controls you and not vice versa. That much is not based on perspective but is canon fact. Fear and hope being the closest to willpower is also canon fact.

Which part of that is based on your perspective?

That makes it a little more impressive to me... Not saying the other rings may not be harder to use, or whatever -- just that Hal using the Yellow is still damn impressive.

Understandable, and I get where you're coming from.

But Green Lanterns, from day one, are taught, trained, and experienced in overcoming fear. It's what they are trained to do. They don't have practice fighting anger, hope, or greed.

They fight fear.

Considering that Hal is an experienced fear-fighter (so to speak), and that fear is the easiest emotion to overcome, I still maintain that it'd be harder for anyone - Highball included - to fight anger or love than to fight fear.

On paper and based off feats, Surfer would 10/10...but when u add in lame marvel wrting somehow Thanos wins WTF.

I agree. I don't understand it.

I mean, look at the Silver Surfer's showing against Odin. Norrin should *****-smack Thanos every time.

Fair enough, but it's not also just overcoming fear, it's the ability to be immune to it, while wielding it as a weapon.

Although Batman can probably pull it off, it's a great feat for a Lantern, he's probably the only one that could have done it.
