Again, the yellow weakness is OVERCOME, but it still exists. That means they could penetrate a yellow forcefield, but a lightspeed yellow attack from behind isn't subject to "overcomeability".Nukes, as I understand it, are small potatos in the comicbook world.
Anyways who can actually beat Magneto excluding cosmics?

Those prior scans didn't show Hal reacting to an attack from behind, or being warned by the ring of an incoming lightspeed yellow laser, just him maneuvering through multiple yellow lasers. It doesn't prove anything. And Hal has always been able to affect Sinestro's powers, for whatever reason. That's why they're arch-enemies.
It shows him maneuvering through mutiple yellow lasers which are being shot at him from ALL directions. Magnetos "yellow" radiation would not be traveling in those multitudes. The scan with Sinestro was just to show that yellow radiation wouldnt just cut straight through a GL's shield like you stated. You keep referring to lightspeed lasers. Does Magneto shoot lightspeed lasers? All lasers dont travel at lightspeed. GL would dodge Mag's yellow just as he would from Sinestro or any other. If he were to unexpectedly get attacked from behind, the ring would warn him of the threat or simply shield the wearer itself.

I thought that was supposed to be a supernova. Guess not. Well, if it's just an exploding mechanical device, then it's fire from the explosion....and it's actually orange. GLs have no trouble with things exploding. Again, it's not proof of anything yellow, or even the level of that explosion.
The image on my other post was just to show an explosion. Also, the first pic i put up was clearly a yellow colored explosion. Are you saying that that particular one was orange? You might have to correct the color's on your monitor, because its clearly yellow. Heres the pic of the supernova and 300 megaton explosion.

There's still nothing to show that the GLs can stand up to a sudden yellow-based attack by Magneto, especially one from behind while they're occupied in front. Additionally, Magneto's mind control tactics are considerable. While a GL can block telepathy, they have to specifically do so. It's not done by default.
Has Magneto ever done a yellow based attack? All scans ive shown prove that...
1. If GL isnt ready or expecting an attack, the ring automatically shields them or lets them know of oncoming danger.
2. Yellow attacks that are not expected doesnt cut right through a GL's shield.
Can you show Magneto generating a yellow radiation attack? Plus like youve stated, the characters have basic knowledge of each other. Which means the GL would know of Mags abilities and would expect him to try and use different colors of the EM spectrum. With basic knowledge, the GL woud also know Mag's telepathy abilities and already have themself protected.

Finally - Photon was able to drain Kyle dry. That shows that, whatever the true nature of Oan energy, it's at least in part based on EM, which is why it was affected by Photon. And if Photon, an EM manipulator, can do it, then so could Magneto, and even more easily...given how he was able to drain PHOENIX.
Actually no. Photon didnt drain Kyle dry because he was still able to absorb the Cosmic Cube. The ring also protects the wearer from being completely drained. Does Magneto have protection against the GL turning him into flowers or the size of an ant?

I don't necessarily think he'd be bothered to explain the whole workings of it to Mongual, lol. The GLs discussed the minutae of it amongst each other, explained it to the noobs, and it was also explained in that discription someone posted earlier on.
At the sub-cosmic level, it generally requires a team effort to beat Magneto. Hence the term "team-beater".
But I think GLs could give Magneto a much better fight than Superman, and I acknowledge that one could think of more ways for a GL to beat Magneto than the other way around. But that's not surprising since GLs are living plot devices and can do ANYTHING.

ok, now you have me confused. Those are all scans of classic GL, right? I mean, waaaay before the whole "overcome yellow weakness" that only recently took place. Before then, the yellow weakness was pretty clear, wasn't it? You'll have to explain to me what exactly the nature of the yellow weakness was at the time. I was under the impression that historically the GL ring was to have NO effect at all on yellow. And yet you're showing scans from when he was clearly supposed to have the weakness, blocking and affecting yellow things like it was nothing. So your scans are convincing...but I don't understand. What's the explanation for how he affected something he shouldn't be able to affect?

He's used blue, red, white and created holograms. Not specifically yellow, as I recall, but...if you can do SOME colors, you can do them all, lol.
I'll stay my hand on the rest of your post until I learn more about the historical nature of the yellow weakness

If yellow energy was directed towards a GL, they would be capable of deflecting it as shown, or containing it as well as trying to fight against it. If there was a yellow force field, then a GL wouldnt be able to penetrate it. If they had one up, yellow energy would slowly make its way through the GL's shield, but not instantly as if it were never there. If that was the case, Sinestro's blasts would rip right through Hal's all the time. I dont think the exact level of tolerance has ever been stated. But it was clearly not what most made it out to be. Bad, but not that bad seemingly. Thats the best explination i can give you.

ok i know a landslide is goning for magneto so skip this and answer my orignal question.
GREEN LANTERN VS. MAGNETO
*side question #2 has green lantern's yellow flaw been dealt with by a writer or is i t still the stupidest weakness in thworld? (yellow items)?*
Huhuhuh, uhh huhuhuhuh, he said "penetrate".
