swanky and blah........ 😄
If GL's shield can block psionic messaging, then Storm or Sue can't get through. But...he's telepathically communicated with MM before through his shield, plenty of times. That means that his shields aren't psionically protected by default - he'd have to KNOW that Storm's ability to control atmosphere is psionic and then specifically build a shield to block psionics. Otherwise he's just going to see her as some weather chick.

The sentience of the ring makes things a bit more confusing.
Well, it's probably a bit like when Sue puts her shield up. It may be possible to also block sound, but she'd have to specifically, I dunno, THINK to do it or something. That's the only explanation for why she was able to block Klaw's sound attack at one point, but at another was penetrated and knocked out by Songbird's sound attack. I don't know if GL would block telepathy at the outset...and battleboard stips state that the opponents know basic info about each other. That means that GL knows that Storm controls the weather, but the fact that she does so psionically is a theory and thus wouldn't know that.
Eh...who knows? If he does it, she can't get through. If he doesn't, she can.
I wonder if Sue could create things inside a GL forcefield.

DC isnt my forte but he sounds midly interesting.
Here ya go:
Im not sure if its been mentioned already, but if GL were to just incase Storm in a bubble that would take her out because of her claustraphobia(sp?). Unless she had gotten over her fear, that would leave him and Sue to go at it. Heres where it gets tricky kinda. I think that any GL is well trained in the ring. Sue would be creating force fields aroud herself as well as trying to attack GL with all she got. I think that its too much of a strain on her. Like someone mentioned before, GL's powers are on a cosmic lvl. Without the help of Storm Sue gets drained and GL takes the win.

Storm can work her powers THROUGH Magneto's forcefields.
As we can see, Magneto can take an optic blast and a class 100 strength punch from Colossus with his Shields.

But here we see Storm SLICING and ripping right through him to the BONE WITH HIS SHIELDS UP almost Killing him, all while HOLDING BACK.

Again we see his shields holding up to a full Blast from PHOENIX who is semi-bloodlusted.

Whereas here we see Ororo taxing his shield unto certain death until he uses Colossus as a weapon. He even says how much it strained his "magnetic powers"(his SHIELDS)

Also note that given Storm's nature, she was likely holding back here as well.
Poeple often cite Magneto as one of the smartest Supervillains-- a literal GENIUS.
Why would he drop his shields with Nightcrawler and Colossus directly behind him??
It should be also noted that Storm's powers taxed him unto death, while his shields held up to Cyclops, Colossus, Night Crawler and even Phoenix- possesed Jean.
