Once and for all, who is the most powerful of all of the Green Lanterns? I know for sure that these 3 are the top 3, but i dont know who is #1. I have heard people say many things in comics syuch as Hawkgirl from the JSA said Alan is the most powerful GL to ever live, but i collect JSa and i havent see him do anything that spectacular. I have also seen Hal himself say that John is his equal, and Guy also has said that John is considered to be superior to Hal, but yet, Hal is still called "the one true Green Lantern". So once and for all, if these 3 fought in a free-for-all, who would win?
Well considering John has a hard tinme with Guy, its always going to come down to Alan and Hal.
Alan is the man, and i dont quite know his feats, but youre right Alan has been said on many occasions to be the most powerful lantern ever. Although hes not officially a GL. Just by name.
But there has also bee many times where Hal has been said the be the greatest GL ever. Hal also has the feats that outweigh Alan's.
But overal, Alan has the experience and slight power over Hal. Though he does have the wood weakness still i believe and Hal has none.
Without exploiting weakneses, id say Alan in a tough one.
I think that John Stewart would win this fight and he is the most powerful Green Lantern to me.

Being on the cartoon put the forgotten substitue GL John Stewert on the map again nothing more hes no Hal Korden heck hes hardly a Guy Gardner
The real fight is Alan and Hal with the results really up in the air.Alans powers are slightly different in nature compared to the regular GL rings the Starheart is probably stronger than an individual GL ring [It WAS ring that absorbed an immense amount of magical energy].Mr.Terrific also theorized that Alans death after being stabbed by wood while fighting the ISA would result in an explosion capable of destroying the Solar system
Hal of course is no pushover himself and if Kyle can hold an a Super-nova Hal can do better[I still like Kyle more though]
I dont really see an easy winner here.No batlefield can contain 2 GLs of this power going all out so wood may not be that helpful against Alan.Meanwhile Hal will eventually run out of power something Alan doesnt everr have to worry about
In the end i say neither of them lose a battle of willpower but Hals Ring just doesnt make it

Also on another note. In Kingdom Come, the Green Lantern that is in the bok it Alan. I always thought it was Hal, till I read it over and over and payed attention to him.
That kinda indicates who DC considers to be the greatesat GL in my book.
It's been said that he can do ANYTHING as long as he concentrates on it.
In the JLA/JSA crossover, Sentinel used his willpower to reach into Typhon, lord of Chaos' mind and get a specific memory out of him. He sifted thru trillions of electrochemical impulses and located the one that he needed.
Later, he redirected the path of a black hole, using it to return 1/4 of the JLA/JSA to earth.
Atom says the only limitation he has on his power is his imagination...
Digi, when did Alan lose the wood weakness?
I dont think he was in Kingdom Come only because of the slow aging. After all, Bruce and Green Arrow was still there. Why not Hal? I think he killed?
DrDoom All GL's can do anything as long as they concentrate enough on it. His limitation as well as the other GL's is their imagination and willpower.
But I think we all agree that it comes down to Alan and Hal with Alan winning in a very close fight. No arguements about that here.
Alan's wood weakness was officially explained away recently (Rebirth, right?...I get confused easily) but he hasn't displayed the weakness for a long time now.
And the relative merits of the Starheart over any GL ring are probably not much. It really comes down to imagination and willpower...Hal once used multiple rings, but the comic even stated that it gave him no real advantage, just a psychological boost. So even though Alan's power is slightly different, I think they're all on a level playing field in terms of potential power.

P.S. I agree about KC...but Alan just probably fit Moore's style better...the history, the wisdom, the mystique, etc. A spastic like Kyle or an unknown like John (sorta) wouldn't have fit as well. Hal would have been the only other logical choice. A nice nod to the original GL, but I don't think it says anything about their power levels.
I believe Rebirth only explained the GL yellow weakness. And thats no longer present. They didnt mention the wood weakness, but ill double check just to make sure..
I agree.

True indeed. They also showed respects to the official Lanterns with the resurrection of the "New OA".
I don't remember any GL using their ring to probe a person's mind. If it happened lemme know. Alan basically WISHED his team from the limbo dimension, Superman WW, and both Flashes turned Surtur into a black hole, and Alan used it to teleport them from another dimension to Earth, while simultaneously protecting everyone from the effects of the hole.
