Sinestro, 9/10

dmills
Interesting match up. I'll lean towards BB. From what I've seen of Sinestro he seems to rely a lot on overwhelming physical attacks with his constructs. I think BB can take what he dishes out on average.

Sinestro has been on a hot streak as of late. His ring seems to have less limitations than the GL ring, and is not prone to run out of juice.

Sinestro wins 7/10 times.

Sinestro has certainly been getting more impressive feats and the like than his GL counterparts.

I believe sinestro can shield up blocking black bolt scream while create a yellow fist smashing BB's face. big grin

i agree. sinestro is a bit different than his old self. he just soundly defeated a being who owned some of the glc.

Yeah but Black Bolt the majority of the time looks good. Sinestro is impressive but I'm leaning towards Black Bolt. Those constructs are powerful but Black Bolt's whisper has put down Hulk. Not saying it'll be easy but it takes a lot of power to put Hulk down - BB's done it with a whisper.

But this fight should be interesting if both characters didn't know much about the other. Sinestro would be mouthing off at Black Bolt who never says a word back which would piss Sinestro off. If it goes anything like that fight with Vulcan, Sinestro pushes Black Bolt to his limit with his taunts and brutal beat down that Black Bolt would scream his head off and kill Sinestro before any shield is raised in defense.

If they went hand to hand during the fight, Black Bolt should edge him out. BB is a far more skilled fighter then Sinestro if his fist fight with Hal is any sort of indication of his skill.

JakeTheBank
Sinestro showed some H2H skill recently against Kyle, who was bragging about his Batman training until Sinestro utterly trounced him. I don't think Sinestro would get into melee with Bolt if he could help it though, and if he did, it would probably be pretty bad for me.

As for this fight, I think it's pretty even myself. If Bolt screams, Sinestro is SOL unless he has some mad defenses readied.

I remember it was written in handbook that black bolt scream at maximum could cause the detonation of a nuclear weapon. now he might did better on panel, but I doubt he will go all out at his first attack, so the scream probably equivalent to the power of nuclear bomb. I remember character like kyle rayner could use shield contains sun to go nova when he's a rookie. so I doubt lanterns shield would have any problem with BB's attack. on the other hand black bolt doesn't really have the durability to withstand sinestro's attacks.

hmm if lantern shield could withstand supernova, planet curshing I'm sure it will withstand bb's scream pretty well. unless there's any proof you can't just make a claim that bb's scream could knock sinestro far back

But yet Black Mary busted through a lantern shield like candy. I don't understand you all some times. That's like me saying since Thor has tanked attacks from an angry Celestials and an enraged Odin... people like Surfer and Supes ar unable to hurt him.

Is that a good way to debate buddy?

so it's a good way to debate using PIS low showing? U are trying to low-balling here. all these top lanterns have demonstrate there shields withstand significant amount of attack, that's why we can assume the shield has high durability. your logic don't work because thor withstand attack from celestial is PIS and lantern shield withstand nuclear bomb or planet crushing is not.

Correct me if I'm wrong but those shields have been broken by far less? There's awesome feats by characters but against another fighter it's not a stomp. As for that nuclear comment, Black Bolt over loaded a Watcher powered Dr Doom with his scream. Also, how fast is Sinestro's reaction time. Black Bolt needs only to talk at any point of the fight and Sinestro would have to put up strong enough shields to avoid being knocked back and leaving him vulnerable to following attacks by the king of Inhumans.

dmills
Word. Hasn't lobo busted out of GL constructs as well? I could've sworn that happened not too long ago.

JakeTheBank
Yeah, virtually every top tier brick charrie in DC has busted through a construct before. The actual blasting is what seems to do damage the most, not simple weapons.

dmills
Holy crap! I just noticed, no Majestic Sig Jake? Hell hath frozen over lol!

iceman24567
Lobo busted up green, yellow, red and violet constructs in like 3 panels in the same issue but hes ****ing Lobo he would eat their Lanterns like candy if he had the chance

Damborgson
This is close...I think Sinestro has a slight advantage though so 6 outta 10 for him

far less like who? charaters like superman or lobo are capable of dishing out physical attacks more powerful than nuclear explosion.
I never saw the watcher incident you mentioned, so u need to give me context about that. and just because he overloaded watcher powered doom doesn't mean his scream is any more powerful than a nuclear bomb. and black bolt hold back alot, it's very unlikely that he would unleash full power at his first attack, soon sinestro will realize how powerful bb's scream is and try to finish him fast
not sure about sinestro's reaction time, but character like hal or kyle all got great reaction time. and it shouldn't be hard for a top lantern like sinetro to detect shock wave then put up shield immediately. and one more thing, I might be wrong but I remember green lanterns have auto-shield? not sure about yellow lanterns though.

Prep-Man
black mary and lobo arent good examples. both of those beings could take most top tiers anyway.

MrMind

I agree

dmills
According to Mr mind GL's have tanked super Nova's and such. So unless you want to argue that they both possess super nova like strength then I'd say that they're perfectly fine examples. Imo of course.

"Id"
It seems that despite the number of good Lanterns (all colors), DC is making out to be Sinestro superior to all Lanterns but Hal.

As to the fight. A character trademark of his, is how cold, and masterful he is at wielding his ring.

Prep-Man
kyle still has better feats than sinestro.

MrMind
just put it out there, in recent issue sinestro's shield just withstand an army of weaponers attack like it was nothing
http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8302/greenlanterncorps5716.jpg

dmills
Yep. I haven't read much, but from what I've seen in GL corps, he seems masterful in a physical sense. His will power and cunning seem to manifest in an overwhelming physical attack.

JakeTheBank
Originally posted by dmills

Yeah, wanted something new and different lol

Been re-reading Captain Marvel's comics, hence the new set.

And GL's have tanked super novas and flown in black holes. Hal himself has a collapsed a star before with his ring, so depending on the ring user and the effort put into the construct, they can be pretty impervious.

"Id"
Well he is no Kyle in thinking out of the box, but so far his use of the ring has paid off. I am impressed by how Sinestro walked down the Weaponer, even after he reconfigured his shield to counter Sinestro.

I don't know man. BB has taken down dome of the MU's toughest I.e. Hulk, Glads etc. And on multiple occasions at that.

Also Black Bolt is really good at manipulating energy as well hitting him with an energy attack won't be easy.

Prep-Man
I doubt BB can manipulate Sinestro's energy right off the bat.

Character's like Lobo and Superman hit harder than a nova explosion is what your saying? As for nuclear weapon, Gladiator was only dazed by an attack that wiped out part of a solar system. Black Bolt's mere whisper k.o.ed him.



See above. He put Gladiator down with a whisper. This guy was only dazed by an attack that destroyed part of a solar system. Like I said, characters look great against their environment but it shouldn't be the sole determining factor against other characters in a fight.

Doom had the Watcher's power. Reed took a device that directed Black Bolt's power solely at Doom. BB screamed into it and Reed remarked about how Doom loved power so he's more power to absorb. Doom with Watcher's power got pawned by BB's scream.





How fast is his reaction time when his opponent is right next to him. The thing with Black Bolt is he fights hand to hand most of the time. Sinestro enjoys fighting up close to his enemy as well. The guy isn't exactly a keep away fighter. Hulk has been downed by Black Bolt's whisper so I don't see why a scream wouldn't put down Sinestro even with auto-shields. The idea that his attack is only at best nuclear is like saying Thor can only lift 100 tons because he's a class 100. His mere whisper has done what Thor with Mjlnornir has a hard time doing to Hulk and Gladiator.

I can't believe he just no-sold the Weaponer's WL energy attacks. And it didn't seem to have anything to do with his prior experience with the WL energies before during Blackest Night.

Especially impressive given the Weaponer's performance against a god damn GUARDIAN earlier in the arc (as you can see above).

Do you really like Sinestro THAT much that you'd bring up the Master blow?

Its a big risk- low reward move. Why bother with it, when he has his scream?

Hell his normal attacks have been more effective than that has. And they don't mess him up after wards :/


Marvel has really failed at using that properly

While it did almost KO the thing it still failed to KO him and left him totally drained. It would be great uf he could keep fighting afterward.

I would say 6/10 for Sinestro.

ThereIsHope
I always thought that BB was stronger then just a nuke.

Mshinu
Sinestro for a good majority, about... 7.35/10

ThereIsHope
I think Sinestro wins 10/10 cause he's better then the average GL or YL and if the BB scream is only strong as a nuke BB is screwed up his ass.

cdtm
Before Brightest Day, I'd give BB an edge, but after handling that white light using weaponer who beat a team of GL's that included Kyle Rayner and Ganthet, I think Sin takes a solid majority.
