I mean, what you're saying is true in some respect but if it actually held across the board, Hal, Kyle and the rest of the humans would be among the weakest in the Corps which they obviously aren't.
I'm sure experience plays alot into wielding a ring (and those you mentioned have the most since they rebuilt the Corps) but with the exception of Sodam Yat it appears the vast majority of GL's are just plain, ordinary 'sentients'.

If he hits Sinestro, then yeah it would take long, but Sinestro is quite smart. His ring did kill a red lantern

Let me say that calling Atrocitus "Etrigan with a power ring" is pretty ridiculous. Etrigan is among the best at what he does. Atrocitus has no feats close to his level.

The human Lanterns used to be made fun of for being ordinary. A lot of them would be considered super strong by our standards and there are telepaths, necromancers, and whatever else in the Corps not to mention guys like Mogo, The Collective and Leezle Pon.

No, you are right. But it must be the collective experience of the human GL's that make them so formidable.

Sinestro, imo. too good with the ring.
Also, agree with everything val said.

He ain't that good...who won the 'Sinestro Corp War' (with the Anti-monitor, Henshaw, Prime and Parrallax on his side)?

Can't really punish the bad guy for losing in that situation...

Why not? Sinestro had the deck stacked in his favor. He had every advantage (ESPECIALLY with his guys being able to kill while the GL's couldn't for the longest time in the storyline) and he still lost.

Except that his warriors weren't experience, and some were backstabbers, weaklings, and traitors. Some would flee, and other would give up. He was lucky that Cyborg S, And SMP were keeping JLA occupied.

He is that good, a fact he's shown Hal on more than one occasion.

Well, it will be interesting to see what happens when Sinestro takes on Mongul (a Superman-level adversary on his own but now with 8 yellow rings). If he beats him soundly I guess that means he could beat Atrocitus.
Not to hijack this thread, but do extra rings REALLY mean more power??

Ah, ah, ah! That WAS NOT a one-on-one battle...Mongul was facing several GL's (not to mention Ion - the supposed 'most powerful' GL).

Do you think Mongul is a tool as much as I do? Honestly, the character is a joke. He's like...Superboy level, yet deludes himself into thinking he can take out Superman. ****ing hilarious to see him get owned by Supes, Cyborg, and everyone else. I hope Sinestro beats him to a bloody pulp and makes him kiss the ring.
Mustache power FTW.

I think he was downplayed through the 90's. For me Mongul is brutality personified, the fear power ring suits him just as well as Sinestro.
