Of course Hal wins. Using the Pre-Crisis version is spite of the highest order. DCNu Hal could take the majority vs Failbrand.

WTH has Ellis/Hickman Failbrand done to earn so much respect? I don't understand.

PS I love how in Avengers 25(?) it's Adult Franklin that jumps in to save the day. Phucking Failbrand is on the sidelines doing NOTHING.........again.

Hal 10/10.

Sigh

Starbrand gets my vote.

Pre-Crisis Hal Jordan wasn't, IMO, above the combined power of Thor, (current/universe surviving) Hyperion, and Hulk all at the same time.

Current Starbrand took them all on before he even had the swing of his own power-set.

It took three Mega Class foes to drop the kid, and even then they needed to chuck Hulk at him from Orbit (akin to how Sentry dive-bombed Blue Marvel ftw when took on The Avengers).

And the kid's only getting better with XP.

Starbrand is, IMO, simply a step above standard Surfer/Thor Class Power.

He would make a great match for Void come to think of it...

Hal has changed the entire JLA into energy once and held back Superman, who said his ring had near limitless power.

pre-crisis "insert character name" wins.
however Starbrand beats post crisis Hal

I call BS on this.

Ellis's Failbrand (which is Hickman's Failbrand since he picked up where New Universal left off) was about to be killed by a nuke strike and had to run away before the plane dropped the bomb.

Can DCNu Hal output the equivalent of ONE nuke? Yes? He stomps then.

That doesn't add up.

Do you think that Thor, Hyperion, or Hulk cannot take a Nuke?

All three have taken far worse.

And current Star Brand juggled all three of them, and took their best hits.

He matched and exceeded beings that walk through Nukes.

No, he didn't.

As you can clearly see in their first fight, he was about to get owned by Thor (because Hulk and freaking CAPTAIN AMERICA were restraining him! ). Then Nightmask jumped in and saved him. Starbrand himself confirmed this and in a later issue said "Listen, thanks for saving me back there."

Why would he say that if he was "juggling" them?

Hickman's Starbrand IS Ellis' Starbrand because he continued the story right where Ellis left off in New Universal. Ellis/Hickmanbrand ran for his life from a nuke strike!

Hal wins.

Oh you...

Hulk was primarily restraining him and do you honestly consider that a low showing? Being restrained by HULK after being dive bombed from space?

The Avengers never attacked Starbrand with intent to kill or even maim.

The dive-bombing was ridiculous as it looked cool but actually didn't add any significant force to Hulk's punch. And we know how much Hulk holds back, having seen him punch everyone from street leveller to cosmic.

Any high herald level character would carry more force in their average punch, than a one-tonne object being thrown from space by a herald who probably isn't even in the low CL100 range. So that in and of itself is not impressive.

I do agree with Zopzop on this, Starbrand is monumentally overrated. Especially going by the few big explosions that we see in Infinity.

Pre-C Hal ftw, imo.

Lord have mercy. I'm done with this.

lol.

Starbrand tears through Hal, the way we tear through paper dolls.

PC Hal can't handle anything yellow you nerds.

I thought it was 'golden'?

Fine, if SB is yellow, it trumps.

Doesn't he have a ridiculously fatal yellow weakness, Pre Crisis?

Golden Age Green Lantern is Alan Scott. Hal didn't exist in that era.

Did Hal have a yellow weakness?

Yes.

The weakness to yellow was removed when Kyle first got his ring. At first there wasn't a real good explanation for why, but then it was explained that the yellow weakness was due to Parallax corrupting the central battery pre-Zero Hour.

So from the time Hal was introduced in the 50's to Zero Hour there was a yellow weakness. Before Hal, Alan had a wood weakness. Current Alan still has a wood weakness ermmcreep, albeit of a different nature.

Oh god, every so often I forget why (as a child) I thought The GLs were too ridiculous to read.

Then someone reminds me!

I used to collect DC comics annuals, I remember admiring WW even back then (I was probably 8 or 9yrs old).

Why did DC have to be so childish?

Comics back than where written for kids. Now they focus on teens/young adults/caveman.

Hal 10/10. As for this, I have no explanation for flopflop's irrational, arbitrary hatred of Starbrand. Mostly because it's just so completely random. sneer

Envy? Never. I just wonder at the hype, that's all.


I will say this though. Marvel's best big story of recent(ish) years was Annihilation. And that had lots of Surfer in it. Coincidence? I think not.


Marvel need to remember just who their premier herald is.






and ****-off, any of you who says Thor!
