I agree Hal would not be be at a strict disadvantage with yellow. But I also agree that he needs a part of his will and consciousness to focus on the fear and overcome it though. If you read GL #1, they do indeed need to focus and think about yellow and fear. Their ability to overcome fear is not automatic like it originally was with Kyle when he first replaced Hal. Whether this makes a difference big enough in this fight is debatable. But I don't think its debatable that the GL's limited charge puts Hal at an extreme disadvantage.
Quite simply, similar weapon with limited charge versus similar weapon with unlimited charge. Its like machine gun with bullets versus machine gun with unlimited bullets. Which would you rather have?
5/10 split in the face of this logic, only because Hal's the man.
Originally posted by OneDumbG0I kinda agree with this but not 100%. Hal has many more options than Q does imo. The ring is alot more versatile and seems to have more variety of uses. Other than make constructs, concussisve blasts, drain energy, etc. what else can Q do?Quite simply, similar weapon with limited charge versus similar weapon with unlimited charge. Its like machine gun with bullets versus machine gun with unlimited bullets. Which would you rather have?
Here's a small underdeveloped respect thread. There are some interesting things he does in some of the scans, particularly the permenancy of his constructs and his energy absorption powers. Unfortunately, his high end feats are nowhere to be found. I think he really outdid himself against Maelstrom, the avatar of destruction. Unfortunately, they're only alluded to in this thread:
Oooooh. Did a search and found this one. I haven't sifted through all the feats, but it looks quite promising:

Why not? Yat had more than just the ring going for him when he first became a Lantern right? I would give any Superman level being the win over Quasar. Nefaria nearly killed him right? Yat is greater than Nefaria was when he was breaking Q's containment spheres.

I agree... Quasar for all intents and purposes, should be able to defeat any Green Lantern with the exception of Yat. i wonder how well he woud do against Sinestro though.
can he?? sure, all things being equal.
WOULD he?? not too likely unless he outsmarts them, and Elvis isnt THAT smart, plus he's got the inferior tool.
and as for Yat: he didnt begin showing his Daxamite heritage until the battle in Ranx. just to clear that up.

which matters little since the chances of a GL running out of power against Elvis is slim to NONE; neither will be going at it for THAT long cuz its doubtful that either will have *that high* a lvl of stamina.

well true, yur not bound by a need to re-inforce yur constructs w/WP, but there IS the little known factoid where a QB'er has to use them properly or else they get *incinerated* in a flash of energy.
then theres also the little matter of not being able to affect MATTER, the QBs are permanently stuck to U, and if U get hurt.....theres no provision to help yurself out in any way.
so there ya go; the inferiority of the QBs at a glance.
