Guardians decide to make an honorary GL on Marvel Earth. Who would make the best Green Lantern from Marvel Earth?

ScarletSpeed
Should this be in the vs forum?

Steve Roger if he were still alive, or Tony Stark i think.

Knowsbleed33
Daredevil

Isn't there already a thread like this in comics forum?

Yes.

I voted for Batman in it. I stand by that judgment.

illadelph12
Hmm...

I'd actually have to say T'Challa. Cap is a nice choice too, but Black Panther also brings the technical expertise and genius along so he'd make better use of the ring, and with his will, honor, leadership, guile, and determination, he's a perfect candidate. Basically Cap and Tony rolled up into one with a little Reed Richards sprinkled on top.

Bentley
It should go to a creative character with a lot of will: Rick Jones. Nobody would be a better GL in the whole Marvel Universe.

Master-Borg
I think Reed Richards would be a good GL. He'd build the most awesome weapons and gadgets imo.

Phone
Cyclops?

Soljer
Thanos would make a great lantern; he fears nothing, has monstrous willpower, and is incredibly creative.

Even thought he's not in Marvel.....I vote for Doctor Who.

Lord Feron
Peter Parker; he is a smart dude and im sure he will find clever ways to use the ring.

redhotrash
Willpower is one of the things Sentry is deeply lacking in. The guy is the most powerful coward in comics.
On a side note, even though its out of their character, I always thought Carnage would rock with a yellow ring, as hes shown to be real imaginitive with forming his symbiote into different weapons.

Soljer
No one's mentioned the Punisher? I'm astonished. He performed surgery on himself for Christ's sake!

Indeed.

Concerning people actually from the MU I'd say Magneto.

ScarletSpeed
I never even thought of Magneto smile

in all honesty maybe silver surfer or steve rogers

Steve Rogers has overcome fear and has great will power.

Wolverine really has no fear and has great will power but he's prone to violence.

Punisher overcomes fear and has good will power but he's prone to violence.

Professor Xavier has great willpower and overcomes fear.

Cyclops has good willpower and overcomes fear.

Symmetric Chaos
Forge might not be the most worthy but he'd easily be among the most potentially powerful.

Deadpool strikes me as the type who could use a ring pretty devastatingly (think Nero but funnier).

darthgoober
Mar-Vell would be the ultimate GL.

I don't know about these guys, they don't have much imagination, aside from Frank.

Cap will prob just create shields and Logan will prob just make his claws bigger.

also, yeah Deadpool would be amazing to watch as a GL. He'd be like Mxy, just playing around with his opponents. They should make a comic for him being a GL.

Instant conceptualization of how the construct will work. Reed would still need some time to work out the details, especially for something really complex.

Lulz at Frank utilizing a lantern ring better than one of the, if not THE foremost human tactician in the Marvel U.

darthgoober

Several reasons

1. His Cosmic Awareness would give him insights into the rings full capabilities like no other GL ever.

2. His willpower and tactical mind are unsurpassed by pretty much anyone on Marvel Earth with the possible exceptions of Steve Rodgers and Dr. Doom

3. He's an expert at doing the most he can with what he possesses. I mean the guy was a class 10 with very few feats of significant power to his credit, but despite that he was always able to give just about ANYONE that he fought trouble. Add the power of a GL ring to his arsenal and there'd be few beings he couldn't take down.

Norrin Radd.

He already showed both great willpower and sensitivity when he sacrificed himself for Zenn-La. Also, he has overcome the guilt of serving as Galactus's herald. And he has the nobility and strength of character to have somehow overcome the schemes of Mephisto time and time again.

T'Challa is not a bad choice.

Maybe Professor X.

IMO, he'd probably do better with a "Hope" ring.

Dark-Jaxx
Storm would make an above average GL IMO.

Juggernaut with one would be unstoppable, it would eliminate the BFR that hinders him so.

CaptainStoic
Amadeus Cho would be an excellent choice, for obvious reasons.

laughing out loud


Any one of these individuals would make a great GL:

Forge
T'Challa
Peter Parker
Tony Starks
Reed Richards

Out of that list, Forge has the least going.

Darth Creasy
Norrin Radd and Quasar would be the best choices because they already wielded similar power. If Marvel/DC were actually collaborating on something like this, Rick Jones would get the call.

shksprtx
Puck...he kept a demon trapped in his body for decades, so he has the willpower thing down...

As for other traits, he has years of experience as a soldier and adventurer, so I think he can handle most anything thrown at him...

I'd also consider Ben Grimm/Thing if I were a Guardian...

MightyEInherjar
I could see a controlled Bruce Banner using the ring well. The guy has to use tons of willpower fighting multiple psyches. He could expel his pent up rage through "meditation" by using the ring as an outlet. Not to mention Banner's a pretty sharp guy when he's not flying off the handle.

Martian_mind
Bob,agent of Hydra.

Now and forever

Phantom Zone
Captain America probably.

Dr Doom

Deadpool smile

He would be sick with a red power ring.

I don't think it works like that. I recall a scan of a GL creating some kind of magnetic repulsion hamster wheel thing that was powered by Flash. I really don't think any of the human GLs have the intelligence to actually build something like that.

It would lower his power lol

Soljer

How?

I can understand the (in my opinion, incorrect) assertion that a Lantern Ring would be insignificant to Thanos, his own personal power already being so incredible.

But adding ten to ten thousand, no matter how insignificant that ten looks compared to ten thousand, will never somehow make the ten thousand drop.

King_Mungi
Tony Stark hasn't been able to "will" his alcohol problem away, so I don't think he would make a good Lantern stick out tongue

nimbus006
1. Steve Rogers would be just as good, if not better than Hal in my opinion
2. Mar-vell would own
3. Amadeus Cho would be very interesting
4. Hercules would be awesome
5. Dr. Doom would own (although a yellow Lantern Ring my suit him better)
6. Namor would own
7. Cable would own
8. Beast would be great- Kind of reminds me of a Salaak
9. Matt Murdock would be great
10. Patriot might be good
11. Iron Fist would be great

Kid Kurdy
Do people here realize how many practical things Spider-Man has made with his webs ? He is a wizard with his webs.

And his webs are clumsy, stupid and slow compared to a GL ring.

So I think he would do great with a GL ring. And he has more than willpower enough.

GahLakTus
Xavier would be cool.

Lord Feron
Deadpool would be funny and deadly at the sametime but idk if the guardians will choose a merc. I second Cable, thank you nimbus006. His handle of advanced technology and gadgetry can prolly conjure up some devastating things.

All the GLs from Earth were just normal guys with everyday jobs, when they were called. Why should they look for heroes only on Marvel Earth?

Have strong willpower and be lacking in fear; those are the only two qualifications to become a GL.

llagrok
Maybe that female reporter, with the nice rack.

Psyquis52
Out of those I've heard, I've found a few that I consider to be good suggestions.

Captain Mar-vell - probably one of the masters at creative solutions to problems in the Marvel universe and the power wouldn't be more than he could handle.

Rick Jones - his connections to Captain Mar-vell would make him used to the power and I'm certain he'll have no problems with creativity.
Frankly I consider him to be the best option I've heard.

Quasar - It's not a giant leap for him.

Some original suggestions:

Danny Ketch - He was Ghost Rider for a while and if he could deal with that then I'm pretty certain there's nothing in the world of a GL he couldn't learn to deal with.

Darkhawk - Yeah, I know I'm a total fanboy but hear me out. If you've read his serious then you know that he's had his own battles with willpower directly related to his power set. He's had to show major levels of creativity just to understand his powers as they were evolving. On top of all that he's had constant battles with inner fear and is used to coming out on top. Next to Rick Jones I would consider Chris Powell as a viable subject.

Ok you've got a point there but let's look at GL's records as they stand thus far anyway.

Hal Jordan - was possessed by Parallax
Sinestro - he's Sinestro for crying out loud
Guy Gardner - has gone psycho more times than Carrot Top
Kyle Rayner - just got possessed by Parallax
Jon Stewart - ...

Well, Jon's just boring.

My point is losing control seems to be a trend with these guys.

Psyquis52
I should start using commas.

He lost everything that he had spent his entire life working to achieve. Going nuts is hardly an overreaction.

He lives on the edge of psycho. I've never seen him really lose it though.

I can see the conversation now:

Green Lantern: "Let me get this straight....a weapon limited by the willpower and creativity of the user went to a Sorceror Supreme?"

Dr. Strange: "Yes, I can see how I could be considered overqualified..."

the Darkone
Cap or Thor

JakeTheBank
Steve Rogers or Victor Von Doom.

1. Optimus Prime: honestly, I haven't come up with a better Sub-Skyfather wielder, nor seen one in this thread.
2. That old X-Men character whose mutant power was to be able to build anything...forget his name.

Originally posted by the Darkone

Not sure either is creative enough. Steve might be good in the same way Alan Scott is, just on pure willpower, but it barely adds anything to Thor in terms of powers or capabilities.

JakeTheBank
Steve also has history working as an artist, so that's bound to help him bring constructs to life backed by his practically indomitable will.

Maybe. But they;d still just be more picturesque bludgeoning sticks. I'm not saying he wouldn't be good (he would), but half of being a powerful GL is willpower; the other half is the esoteric powers they're capable of. Alan's the exception because he's just that much man. But the creativity aspect is why Kyle and Hal are tops among the others...they've found more uses for the ring other than standard powers. Steve doesn't strike me as the type to build complex machinery or manipulate time, for example.

Digi
Forge. That was his name. Him.

Obviously any techy gets a boost. Characters like Reed have to be on any list because he could simply recreate any of his tech, which puts him beyond nearly any GL, strong willpower or not.

Sticking with Optimus as my #1 though. As strong a will as exists in comics, and a knowledge of tech rivaled by few on any Earth.

Personally, I think Steve probably wouldn't use the exotic powers of the ring over using simple, yet effective constructs and blasts. Tactically speaking, Steve would likely be all over the place and essentially function as a one man army with a GL ring. Considering his skills in hand to hand, he'd also start wrecking bricks in hand to hand.

JayDaDon
Tony stark would be an interesting GL.

Mindship
Ben Grimm: with heart comes will. He may not be much on imagination, but determination is his middle name.

Steve Rogers: attitude and dedication-wise, this is Marvel's Superman, the hero's hero, out protecting the universe.

Sue Richards: already used to making forcefield constructs, and she can be very willful.

That's it for now.

TheGodKiller
Deadpool.

TheGodKiller
Dr Doom is the best candidate.
