I really understand why the red lantern ring's energy gets the benefit of the doubt that it wouldn't get absorbed. For all intents and purposes, most lantern energies are subject to one form of control or another. Even Dr Light was able to do as such.
Don't tell me it's because it comes from his mouth?
Depends on which Bill. If it's Storm Breaker he would probably be consumed with so much rage that the ring decides Bill is a more suitable Lantern than Atrocitus.
lol, Atrocitus' rage has weakened recently, but prior he was a virtual embodiment of rage for billions of years. He'd son Bill in that department so bad Bill'd think his life up to that point was heaven.
Red's always been a sort of atypical spectrum. It really shares very little similarity with the other colors in how it's been portrayed (from a usual lack of construct ability to replacing the heart of the wearer and becoming its life force to being able to actually harm Black Lanterns to having some magical connection, etc etc.)
It's not at all unreasonable to treat it entirely differently with regard to energy manipulators, since it's been treated differently by writers since its inception.

...That really doesn't prove anything except the red lantern being completely devoid of imagination. Energy is energy unless you can show a scan where a manipulator or absorber outright stated it's not possible to absorb it or manipulate it.
Now I'm not an expert on RL by any stretch but you guys need to stop making these random assumptions just because they produce their ring's effect like the vomited their guts out or something.
Do you have evidence that it can't be absorbed or are you just making an assumption? Until it is stated on panel that it can't be, then it is absurd to assume that Atrocitus is the sole exception to the rule.
Bills hammer absorbs or channel energy. That's fact.
You were inserting the idea bill couldn't absorb the energy in at's attacks. That's either an a assumption or claim.
Since the latter is an assumption, you need to prove it.
To me an energy attack laced with blood isn't too radical of a change to insinuate it shouldn't carry some of the attributes of its base lantern energies. So maybe this will then be one of those agree to disagree threads.
