I've never actually seen Fate do anything worth sneezing about. He's supposed to have all this mystical power, but he's always either getting his ass handed to him or doing relatively non-impressive tasks.
That, and the JSA still considers Alan their "Big Gun" and refer to him as such a few times (I'd cite issues if I could but I don't remember the exact ones).
Alan scott is pimp sure...
You also gotta remember he's not the embodiment of the starheart anymore. Mordru pulled it out of him, then instead of taking it back into his being, Alan used his will to form it into a ring, and put it back on. So he's back to his original self, depowered. A while ago, he could throw down with ION like it was childs play.. not anymore.
True true. I was sad to see the return to the ring. But even a "normal" powered GL, combined with Alan's experience and will...and he can still hold his own with pretty much any cosmic. Ion, not so much probably anymore, but still formidable. It would be a good fight. And Alan's always had an aspect of the mystical in him as well from the stuff his lantern and ring are made of (Starheart)...so while Fate's magic might trump a lot of other powers, and possibly even normal GLs, Alan is probably well-suited for facing him.

He never fought with Ion. He fought with Kyle who was drawing on the Ion energy. 😠Nabu would beat Alan. Nabu can simulate his ring among other things. He's incredible.
Nabu isn't the consideration.
Originally posted by The IonAs a newbie, Hector defeated Mordru multiple times, and even hosts of demons. It's quite feasible that with time, he would have magically been by far the most capable. I'm not saying it as a definate truth, but he had the potential.
How would Hector have surpassed Kent? The thing that always put Kent over the edge, at least for me, was his Superman level physical stats.
