Green Lantern vs. Magneto

This basically proves what I've been saying. In order to overcome yellow, you have to recognize the fear behind it and face it. What does that mean? Well, that means if Magneto covered himself in a yellow forcefield it wouldn't work because a powerful GL could still overcome it. So that's not a viable strategy. However, you can't face and overcome something you're unprepared for and strikes you suddenly. Being suddenly enveloped in yellow microwaves isn't subject to overcoming...you just die.

So the Mongul scan means nothing. Mongul is coated in yellow...it was easy for Hal to see it, overcome it and take advantage of it.

A lightspeed yellow lightray? Not so much! 😆

Magneto fans should be happy with him being able to kill anyone with blood in seconds, as long as they aren't going over 20,000 miles per second. That is awesome power. But I hate how they have to talk about him like he can take away your power from anywhere on Earth in less than a second, has an automatic ,unimpentrible by absolutely any means forcefield, and controls all forces of anture. Its just stupid with all of these powers, plus his ability to create wormholes and block out suns, (i guess he could actually do those two, not a real wormhole but like a superdense magnetic area? and a big ball of metal? lol), he is jsut unstoppable!

Again...you're talking about these powers like I've somehow made him a ridiculously powerful character. Meanwhile I'm going up against people who say that GL can just turn Magneto into a flower! I mean...come on now. BIASED.

As soon as the "yellow rays" are shot the GL's seem it and overcomes it. Are you saying that the radiation Mages shoots comes out and kills the GL instantly? Thats not or wouldnt be the case at all. An explosion that a GL isnt expecting is yellow(mainly), does not usually kill a GL. The GL is still able to protect himself from it.

Magneto emitting yellow radiation would come out no faster than a enemy shooting yellow rays at GL. Plus if the radiation were to encase GL it wouldnt automatically penetrate the field either. It would take seconds to break through and with that time the GL would already be aware of its color thus overcoming it rather quickly.

Good point. GLs get hit unawares by yellow things all the time - the ring still keeps them alive, even if only barely.

Thats my point. Radiation let alone "yellow" radiation wouldnt kill a GL instantly if caught off-guard. Explosions or energy blasts, that are meant to kill instantly cant even do the job.

A yellow laser? How can a GL overcome something at lightspeed? Why would it take seconds to penetrate? Yellow would just act like it's not there and go straight though and kill the GL instantly.

And even if only barely...they're weak and vulnerable to any follow up attacks.

The fact is Magneto could launch yellow attacks from all angles at any speed and totally circumvent the idea that a GL would have to overcome it. You can't overcome a yellow spear coming at you from behind at Mach 10. From in front, sure. But not from behind!

Who said anything about lasers? Secondly, lasers dont actually travel at light speed. I guess it all depends on the laser and how powerful it is. I mentioned yellow energy rays/blasts, etc.

Even when being shot from behind GL was still able to avoid the shots.

Sinestro's yellow sure wasnt going straight through back then.

What makes you think that? A GL has taken supernovas as well as 300 megaton explosions unaware as werent weak and vulnerable afterwards.

Like stated before, the ring would warn the GL of a potential danger. Especially from behind. Thats what the ring is for. Any danger or threat that the GL isnt aware of, the ring automatically protects them or informs them before the danger arrives. Usually the auto-shields just come on. Mach 10? GL's travel faster than light.

Hal also doesn't have to forcefully WILL overcoming yellow each time he uses the ring, he ALREADY has overcome it. He was ONE with the fear. He no longer has the weakness, period. Kyle never did. Are we using one of this Good GL's or a newbie? If it's a newbie, Magneto MAY have a chance.

A GL can just make a bubble shield that breaks down magnetism in all of its facets. [as by forums 'basic knowledge' rule, he's going to know Magneto's powers of magnetism] What will Magneto do then? ALL OF HIS ATTACKS would be negated. He has no OPTION out of magnetic based attacks.

Then he could just slap him around with a giant boxing glove.

Just like in the Superman thread, you're being provided by many knowledged and respected members SEVERAL different methods on how this character could beat Magneto and all you've got it this one shot in the dark that you won't let go.

GL.. a good one anyways.. is FAR out of Magneto's league.

Oh lord have mercy....now even Green Lanterns can react and move at lightspeed? So basically the only non-lightspeed reacting member of the JLA is Batman, huh?

CHEESY

To Hell with this....

I dunno honestly this guy is never going to give up, he thinks Magneto can beat the entire JLA, or something, lol.
Look at these threads.
Rediculous.

fuc'k it my dic'k vs. my girlfriends puss'y

How can a GL react that fast....they're human? Are the rings doing the fighting for them? It's stupid. On four different JLA threads, I see characters being speedblitzed. Superman, MM, Doomsday and now this? it's such an incredibly lame tactic that, with the exception of Superman, you NEVER see.

Why even bother making JLA debates if they all attack with such speed and intensity that the battle is over before it begins? "GL turns off the opponent's powers before the opponent can react. End of story".

My ass. Polaris beat Hal.

they have been able to react that fast with the ring like forever opposed to Magneto making blackholes and whiteholes and stuff.

<<How can a GL react that fast....they're human? Are the rings doing the fighting for them? It's stupid. On four different JLA threads, I see characters being speedblitzed.

now you know what it's like to debate against ss fans and gladiator fans . . . 🙁

believe me when i tell you it is NOT only the dc guys that use these tactics. ss fans are even worse -- move at ftl AND change you into a daisy . . . ❌

GLs are made to be cosmic beings that face threats like Magneto on a daily basis. Its not that hard to understand that he can react at Lspeed. They are made to be Silver Surfer level.
