Secondly yes the rings are based on willpower and creavtivity but that means as much as dirt because if you have a defenetive power level your not going past it no matter how much you will it unless your being given more juice then normal. And as far as wide range abilities the Hammers may never show the same microscopic details in versaitiliy the GL rings do but they have all the bases covered so to speak and I never tried to say they are equal in abilities but there are only so many powers one can do before alot of them because useless or one time beneficary powers.
Thor and BRB Hammers can take away the Bulk of what the GLs can do to them which is the point I was trying to make. Of course there are a number of other things they can do but in what reality will that contribute to the match. The Hammers have all the big bases covered which is what is important.
Next if physical close range abilities aren't important in this match then why is Superman(not saying superman should win) able beat a GL at all even if it is a minority yet your going to say people in Supes league of strength with far more abilties based in magic which isn't the most natural thing for a GL to block are not gonna have a much better chance especially when they can take it close.
Plus if BRB and Thor concentrate enough on it I'm sure they could drain Hal's ring leaving it two on one.
Thor has traveled across galaxies in moments as well of course it was teleporting but still the GLs aren't gonna be able to stay away from the Asgardians as long as they are using their abilities to the fullest.
Basically I've always seen Thor as kind of a slightly weaker Superman and a slightly less powerful GL but when you combine those two categories he really is tops in the herald class
Either way though I would love to see this battle actually done in a comic now that I think about it because it is close
Surfer DOES NOT use his speed in fights. Period. I don't care what twisted logic you put on the Thor/Surfer fights; those fights have ALWAYS been "blast blast blast.... " Kyle and Hal can do much much much much (x 10000) more than just that. 😐
I've acknowledged Thor's range of abilities in this fight. The godly duo can get a few wins, but anything more than 3-4/10 is majorly pushing it.
Especially when they'd have other independent GLs, and Daxamites on their asses as well.
There are SO many different things Kyle and Hal could do to win this fight, I really don't care to enumerate all the possibilities.
Superman could only compete with Hal if he were to use his reflex/combat speed advantage in a fight with Hal. Even then, he'd still wind up with the minorities of the wins.
Hal could suck them INTO his ring as well.
GLs take this fight.
