Team 1. BRB's powers greatly hinders Hal's power and Supes can pick up the slack.

BTW, why are you calling Adam and BRB boyscouts....

Edit: Ah new characters.... What Hulk are we using?

Pretty much. And that's not even including his pre-crisis days.

So Batman is a boyscout... erm

Fixed.

Everyone can fly on team 2.

Aside from Supes, I don't think any of those guys are boyscouts.

They are not evil, but I mean...you know. Lol.

Oh that. Yeah, I've seen that a lot, but tbh, 90% of comic fans seem to think that unless a person accentuates every action with a catchphrase or some homicidal mania, they don't have a personality.

Hal has plenty of personality; he's just not as flashy as someone like Guy.

Hal's killed before when he's had to. And he'd definitely kill someone before Superman would.

Kyle's more of a boyscout than Hal is, tbh.

Plus, Hal, you know, fires missiles at people for a living. Or at least, he did for a time.

Really wished they would have expanded on the P.O.W arc.

Would have been neat.

He's also more likely to attempt to commit genocide.

Yeah. That was actually the arc that got me in to GL in the first place. Great stuff, and Ivan Reis was on fire.

It was during the across the board One Year Later arc that DC did. Hal, Cowgirl, and another fellow pilot of his all get shot down over enemy lines and are held as prisoners of war. Hal winds up saving the day, but blames himself for not carrying the ring on him as it automatically activates when the user is in peril.

Really, it could have been a great way to put Hal in a very human situation on Earth for once instead of non-stop War of Light build up.

Blight
Ah. This may be the only Arc I'm missing sad

JakeTheBank
It was one of the more "quieter" arcs in Green Lantern as it happened before Sinestro Wars Corps started in earnest.

Having Guy and Hulk on the same team is spite. They stomp!

Odekahn
Yeah, like others, I read the post and was like... Hal a boyscout? rofl

But seriously, if you're making a list of boyscouts Captain America should be right under Superman.

Cool idea man, I just think the picks could use a little work.

You don't like them? I mean, what's not to like?

Boyscout team wins. Hulk gets bfred and the others get double teamed.

I am dissapointed. When i see boyscot the first thing that comes to my mind is captain america and pre-grant morrisson cyclops. Ah well.

Anyway going with boyscouts due to the martian. Nova is just fodder here though.

Oh, I like the Lost Lanterns. I just can see the humor in what was once a tale in the pressures of the superheroics culminating into a psychotic break now be a tale in being possessed by a space demon fear bug. I've often cited Parallax possession when my actions have been deemed strange or out of character by friends and family, ha ha.

I agree. Boyscouts makes me think of Cap and Cyclops, but also Superman.

When I think of badasses I think of Wolverine, Lobo, Orion, Gladiator, etc.
