this has probably been done before but i did a search and nothing came out so...here we go
quantum bands VS green lantern ring
which wepons is the more powerful in the hands of a top lantern like hal?
way i see it, the two works almost the same. so, in the hands of just one person, would hal be more powerful with the quantum bands or with the green lantern ring. here, i really cant tell...
also, which has the more powerful power source? i'm more to inclined to believe that the green lantern ring's power source is more powerful since it powers more than just one ring, while the quantum band is just well...one
It's quite possible that if one being had full access to the power of the entire quantumverse he might also become god-like...
But yes I can always remember the ring doing all sorts of things other than just energy constructions, like matter transmutation, evolving/devolving living beings, AI, etc, making it more versatile. The time freeze is a good example.
i just feel that one user accomplishes more with these than 90 percent of green lantern ring users. look what maelstrom did with the quantum bands as well.
Something that most people don't remember about the Quantum Bands is that the constructs which are created don't fade away when the user loses concentration or gets knocked out. I see that as a distinct advantage. The Quantum Bands also never run out of power. The Quantum Bands don't have any lethal force restrictions on them. The Quantum Bands also do not have any weaknesses (which may not matter to someone like Hal, but he still has to fight fear and overcome it, just look at 'Sinestro Corps War').
But I don't remember seeing Quasar ever drawing from an infinite energy source directly linked to the Quantum Bands. In the past, when he is outclassed by someone like the Surfer, he's had to steal energy from him to keep up.
So at their utmost potential, Hal could absolutely cheat and steal the Power of the Guardians. But on any average day, I do believe the Quantum Bands are better. BTW, what did Maelstrom do with the Quantum Bands? Does anybody know or have scans? Their potency definitely relies on how strong the user is.
the high number of the green lantern corps makes me think less of the rings. also pitting quasar against hal jordan i see no real advantage for hal anyways.

I did not see Kyle vs Quasar?
Quasar absorbed ego, held off galactus blast etc.....quantum bands vs GL ring...thats what i see and responded to, feats are for the users, but the equipment? i will take the quantum bands any day anytime over a GL ring
If we don't add feats, then it's just based on speculation. We need to know the upper limits of the rings/bands, otherwise this thread is just pointless.

I know enough of them both to add my view
Without a hesitation..i take the quantum bands
Easy debate if you ask me, if i was not a fair and respectable debator i would say anybody who picks a GL ring is just a fanboy...but i would never do that
