Regarding the dimensions thing, thanks for the scans (BTW, "Charged Vacuum Emboitments" is a Doctor Who reference if you didn't know), although I do recall several stories where higher spatial dimensions were mentioned in the 616 universe. Perhaps they were only referring to universes with different numbers of easily accessible spatial dimensions.

Depends how he feels like doing it. Assembling the converter and doing it the most efficient way seems to take a few hours. If he's in a hurry he can do it in minutes but he doesn't get as much energy.

Why would it? Lanterns' rings are batteries themselves. They typically recharge their rings with their personal batteries, which are a direct link to the Central Battery on Oa (and personal batteries usually kept in a pocket dimension). All of their energy ultimately comes from the Central Battery, zero from solar energies.
Originally posted by CogitoI mean the classic Green Lanterns who had the general yellow weakness - yellow objects, yellow energy etc. With DC having the strong distinction of yellow suns and red suns (and others) in the old Superman stories, I just wonder why GLs sent to planets with yellow suns didn't get affected by being surrounded by yellow rays - even if it just made them weaker than other GLs.

Ah, going old school 👆
So, there's no reason why being under a yellow sun with a GL ring would affect them any more than a human being under a yellow sun. Presumably the yellow rays of light would pass through their shields, but two things to consider:
1. Regular (unharmful) light already passes through lantern energy
2. Regular (unharmful) light wouldn't hurt them any more than it hurts you and me.
Also, in terms of light color passing though GL shields, that would only be a factor on a planet with an Earth-like atmosphere. Our atmosphere filters certain wavelengths of light and makes our Sun appear yellow. In space, our sun is white (not that comic book writers know/care about that, so please ignore this point).
They aren't affected by it because lanterns aren't vulnerable to anything yellow they just can't affect it directly. For example. If a yellow knife is thrown at a lantern it will pass through his protective aura and kill him, if a regular beam of yellow light (say, flashlight) is directed toward a lantern it will pass through his protective aura but wouldn't harm him just like it wouldn't harm a regular human.
Basically you're under the false impression that the yellow weakness works like kryptonite on superman. Yellow doesn't emit any kind of harmful radiation to harm gls, like kryptonite does to superman.
On top of that, gls can change the frequency of light, basically changing the color of light (Doppler effect). So even if the type of light is harmful and is yellow (able to penetrate their protective auras) they can change it indirectly. Hal has done exactly that in GL v2 #33.

A guy over at Comicvine said that post-COIE Firestorm has ko'd Black Adam. I have never seen this, and he oddly cannot remember where it happened.Is is true? If so can someone give me an issue number plz? Thanks.
In Firestorm v3 #17, Jason incapacitated Black Adam(and a host of other villains) with an omni-directional blast:
(In the bottom left panel of the third scan, you can see that BA is clearly KO'd.)
This isn't overly surprising, though. After all, the same version of Firestorm stomped a massively amped Kalibak, Orion, and the Female Furies later in the series.

Excellent thank you!Do you have scans or issue numbers for those other feats you mentioned? If not its cool. 😄

Kalibak's amp was so significant that he was able to own Orion, effortlessly:

Orion essentially KO'd by a a heavy object that wasn't even at least smashed over his head? Shit writing there..
Originally posted by CogitoHe wasn't KO'd at all, but yeah, it was pretty bad writing--but certainly not McDuffie's worst, lol

...It's still canon for FS, though, which is all that matters. 👆
