I <3 this battle so much.
With the gem Adam wins. Not because of soul suck (I doubt it would work on Alan) but because his karmic blast was only accessible with the gem. It messes with concentration, and was never countered even by telepaths. Lack of concentration is fatal to a GL. It's how Adam got at least 1 of his wins against Quasar (Wendell).
Without gem I favor Alan. More raw power. Warlock is tricky as hell, but Alan's also as experienced as they come.
8/10 Warlock w/gem
8/10 Alan normal fight
