See I just don't get it. I mean Lanterns can rewrite their freakin D.N.A. with their power but the Ion can't be used to remove some lead, reverse its effects or even rewrite their D.N.A. to Kryptonian if they had to? Hell once he did that why couldn't he just do that and then go back to Daxamite free of the lead?

not all lanterns are capable of rewriting their own dna... some lanterns are just better than others, and what they can and can't do is reflected by that...
But he's Ion so I'd say it should be easier with that power than any of the other plus isn't Sodam prophesied to be the greatest of all lanterns?
I'd think either of those alone would make him more than capable of doing something, anything really to overcome his lead poisoning problem. Let alone both of them combined.

he's not the greatest yet, he could be one day... yat for all his power is still a rookie... he has all the willpower and drive going for him that he could possibly need, and ion adds to that, but ion isnt like parallax, its a support entity, it empowers him as far as willpower goes, but he still lacks the experience and finesse the hal's or kilowog's would have when it comes to wielding the ring...

Perhaps due to personal convictions. I know I certainly wouldn't want to become another species.
Originally posted by Endless MikeYou honestly wouldn't want to be Kryptonian for a day? Somehow I find it hard to imagine many people would have a problem with doing that if it would cure them of a terminal illness! 😬

And also he's Daxamite so it's not even really that much of a genetic leap. Its almost like telling me if I rewrite my D.N.A. to a certain African's with Sickle cell than I could overcome Malaria should I contract a terminal form of it. Then back to my own once the problems solved.
Of course I'd do it were I able and the problem arise. 🙄
Originally posted by Endless MikeDaxamites are an offshoot of the Kryptonian species. I don't know if your familiar with Star Trek but its almost the exact same heritage as Vulcan's and Romulans!
Kryptonians and Daxamites are completely different species (and Kryptonians aren't exactly that far above Daxamites in power, so your first objection doesn't work either).Anyway, it was just one idea.
So while Kryptonian's and Daxamites can be considered technically different species they both evolved form the same ancestors, and in evolutionary terms they aren't really much more than first cousins.

Daxamites are Kryptonians that, well, moved to Daxam.
And had a douchebag infuse lead into their birth matrices, giving them their lead weakness.
And, for reference, it's never been stated that Kryptonians are more powerful than Daxamites. On a few occasions, however, Kal-El has claimed the opposite; Daxamites are more powerful than Kryptonians.
Kal has been known to vastly underrate himself, however, so it's much more likely (and logical, being that they're the samed damned species) that Kryptonians and Daxamites are approximately equal in power.

I believe the implication was that becoming Ion represented Sodam taking on the title of "The Greatest Green Lantern."
Further, I believe the prophecy spoke directly to Sodam being 'meant' for the Ion-power, as Kyle was never supposed to be the Torchbearer.

IMO, Kyle has far more claim to that title than any other GL. Bringing back the Guardians should have given him alot more credit.
Maybe Sodam be will stronger, but he hasn't shown he can inspire like Kyle did.

Kyle? What is it with you damned Kyle-philes?
Canon directly affirmed that Kyle was just a guy in an alley. Nothing more.
(Hal Jordan is the only Lantern that can be described as the Greatest. Capital G. )
