LOL, nah. Got a new username, will get a new sig and avvy to fit it, and am trying to lay off the pink text. It's really hard keeping myself from coloring it pink 馃檨
If you mean the ring, then yeah, that's kinda.....usual.
If you mean the fact that the ring can be used to analyze and tell you the exact weakness of any given character, then yeah, i suppose that's a bit disturbing.

Yeah. I wanted to talk to Ion about that. Thing is, i can understand how the ring channels the wielder's will-power into constructs, beams, and such. But what the hell would a wielder's will have to do with a complete anatomic analysis of a person?
It's not a function based on willpower. In combat situations it's an automatic function programmed by the Guardians just like the Auto-Shield is. The ring AI will scan the enemy and try to match it's file to one stored in the Central Power Battery. The power battery itself is conduit to the Guardians who are basically cosmically aware. Information is then relayed to the ring weilder. All this happens pretty much instantly.

Call me a moron, but it's too "sciency" for my liking (when it comes to GLs i mean).

Yeah, I've always said the Corps was rooted in science or sci-fi as you may. Sentinel and Jade are the magic Lanterns.
I get strange ideas of incest with those two...... 馃槚hifty:
And i don't like the magicky approach either. The good ol' willpower was damn good enough for me. There's a source for it which is the Oan Battery, and it harvests will power and the GLs have to have a lot of it in order to wield the power.
That would've been good enough for me. No magicky, no sciency

There's absolutely no reason why Kyle shouldn't win. His ring protects him from speedblitzing. It also tells him what Gladiator's weakness is, and can then reproduce the exact type of radiation needed.
Infact GL shield gets broken by the likes of: Superman, Polaris
In crossovers it’s even worse
Gl and Gladiator surfer the same disease of giving high feat but getting their ass kicked where they shouldn’t
And yet the GL ring has managed to hold: The Second Big Bang, Krona, and Oblivion....
GL is massively underwritten as is Gladiator. Which is why they belong in space battling cosmic foes like Thanos or Silver Surfer. Not meddling with Earthlings. For some odd reason when ever Green Lantern or Silver Surfer come to other they suddenly get a huge dive in intelligence and power....
