Superman vs Green Lantern

Started by chomperx925 pages

why does it always depends on which Green lantern can win ?

they are all skilled and trained and have the same powers. just some are more popular and sure they might know afew more tricks using the energy and stuff but that doesnt mean the rest of em suck. Kyle and Hal are not the only 2 decent GLs

because they're all different.

but they all have the same power. if anyone sucked then they would not have been given the ring by the gaurdians.

Superboy Prime killed about 30 GLs in IC. No way in hell could he pull that if all thirty of them were Hal Jordan's equal.

they don't all have the same willpower though.

For what it's worth, Alan Scott actually traded punches with Captain Marvel in a pre crisis fight, in All Star Squadron. Tanked his attacks thanks to his aura, and affected him with a blow to the gut.

Couldn't really hurt him though. But it proves a GL is capable of giving a character on Supermans level a fight, even in the pre crisis era..

Actually I saw the issue the other day in my vault of memmories 😄

But now I can't find it.

It was not "Hal" pre say, it was someone impersonating "Hal" with Hal's ring.

Anyhow the real Hal helps Superman, then Superman gets away.

They mention something about Kryptonite being effective as long as the will of the GL is > than Superman's will (if I remmenber correctly)

Later on, on the same issue Superman punches "Hal's" shield and completelly obliterates and KO's "Hal"

The true Hal then tells Superman that He did not know that He can break his shield constructs, to what Superman responds somethig like
"Is because I never punch YOUR shields at full strength"

Anyway, I want to get the issue #

The same power, but not the same talent at using it.

It's like anything else, there's the average GL, there's the gifted GL, and there's the truly exceptional.

Anyhow

This is what Superspeed does to thought based weapons

Rond Vidar.

Superboy Prime kept hammering at his shield, but couldn't break it. If Rond can do it, the elite GL's can.

The thing is, GL rings also have auto defenses.

Obviously, this scenario didn't take those defenses into account, but they're well documented.

Agree, but I will still choose SM if by a little margin.

Auto shields are pretty inconsistent. Ask John Stewart. ha-som

Well, that's true of just about any power. Depends on whether the writers famaliar with them, or just feeling lazy putting them into a scenario. 😄

Flashes super speed, Dr. Stranges auto defenses (Which protected him against Deathurges spear), even Lobo's invulnerability are there sometimes, and others times not. 😛

it can be even more true of lanterns, though. 😛

Imo when it comes to GL and flash it depends on who gets off the first shot because Flash could essentially move at speeds that would surpass the auto shields.....I mean if you move so fast you get through before the auto shield can get up then why have a shield at all?

now as it turns out i believe superman COULD maybe do this depending upon how fast the auto shields can deploy. This is also based on that i am one of the few that believe flash to be much faster then superman......turning this argument into a Pi$$ing contest of sorts lol

now takeing the Speed Blitz out of the equation this leaves a straight up fight. Now when it come to power they both are insanely powerful. So if this be Hal or maybe Kyle then they would stand a chance but lesser GL's then i highly doubt they would make it out ring on finger. I base this on willpower.....with the skills and experience + the Will of Hal Jordan I strongly believe superman gets dropped.

anyways in short

With speed Blitz Id say superman COULD come in for a fast ko giving him about

Superman 6.5/10

Without speed blitz

GL 8/10

^ Superman doesn't need speed-blitz to pwn Hal.

MO? as in modus operandi?

and i'd rate will higher than imagination, personally.

Top Lanterns like Hal, Kyle, or Alan should win a good 7/10 encounters.

Yes, modus operandi.

Nah, I think are more limited for not using the ring's potential, not for lacking juice behind attacks that are usually simple and direct anyway.
