Hope not, because he jobbed them out too.
Pre-Johns Ganthet was said to be omniscient (some hyperbole, to be sure) and displayed power way above a GL. John's Guardians were no more powerful than top-tier Lanterns.

I don't think he had the Spear of Destiny in this scene. Was it ever further explained why Libra made Spectre his b*tch aside from being Eternal? I'm not even sure if he was Herald level in power but Final Crisis was sometime ago. Either way, hilarious stuff.
Ok, here's what happened. The Spear of Destiny was not involved. My mistake, it was found and recovered a couple pages after that scene. Here's the whole thing:

Spectre shows up, goes to punish Libra, and reverts to Crispus when he makes contact with him. After human Crispus gets tossed around, he reverts to his Spectre form and escapes. And then here's a later scene when the Radiant stops him from making another kill:
Spectre: "Does God forbid me my office once again? First I am denied Libra -- now this!?!"

So God directly interfered with the Spectre and prevented him from affecting Libra. Furthermore, Libra didn't do shit to the Spectre. Later, Cain with the Spear wrecks the Spectre though.
