Ion, you sound surprised.....Why?? I see Dc as the conservative branch of comics, whose golden heroes are the lifeblood. Kinda like how in Vertigo, the other angels were created in context of Micheal and Lucifer, in the main DCU, other heroes were created in context of Batman, Superman and WonderWoman. And for the record, any competent GL should be able to beat Superman. If strange can have auto shields, why can't a GL train his shields to autoprotect against all intent to harm with a barrage of faster than lightspeed magical swords that shave electrons off of atoms?? Remember the ring can do ANYTHING!! If they can create k nite, magic should be in its list of abilities.
And Jun, we discussed this in another thread....You gotta admit, its kinda hokey that MM, a being who spent centuries perfecting the use of telepathy, can't prevent himself from being overtaken mentally?? Its kinda like Achilles being as good a warrior as he was reputed to be, yet his defense is purely infantile. He has a weaker guard than a wrestler who just picked up a sword and shield yesterday. Doesn't jibe with the whole greatest warrior ever deal. Thats what Superman being nearly immune to telepathy and Manhunter not looks like. But like i said, other heroes in Dc seem to exist soley for the context of the big three.
