I never said he should not handle problems on earth, but considering how powerful a lantern is. They should be part of extinction level threats, there are enough superheroes to handle canon fodder threats.
that's not the point... he has a hometown, he's part of the justice league, he's an earthman through and through... just because he has tons of power doesnt mean he should sit on his ass while other heroes who might be less powerful risk getting killed by an enemy lantern could capture easily...
its called being a hero...
Well, of course there going to give him an excuse. 😬
its not an excuse at all, its a reason, and an understandable one at that... its the same in marvel too...

He doesn't capture anyone easily, he constantly struggles because he does not use his powers to it's fullest. How many times has lantern used baseball bats and gaint hands in a fight?

Love is illogical, besides marvel is not equal to supes. Infact, Supes stole certain things from Marvel E.G: Flight and Marvel Family. Furthermore, I don't dislike him because he's powerful, I dislike him because he's randomly powerful.
Superman is my favorite hero.
Don't hate his character. Hate DC for wanking him to ridiculous levels for being their poster boy. Replace Cap for Supes and you would end up hating Marvel for his ridiculous feats guided by DC.
Lets not get started on who steal what from who because pretty much 99% of comicdom exists because the good ole Man of Steel.
To quote Alexander Luthor in Infnite Crisis
"Somehow everything comes from Superman."

I would, but after close to a century of wankage. His character is tarnished, he was my favorite superhero too.

Superheros are based on mythological figures, not supes.

most of lantern's enemies are either powerful telepaths or sinestro... the amount of will and energy needed to use the ring means that he's not going to go all out against enemies, because there's no reason to... he eventually wins in the end, and if all heroes fought at their best, most comics would last about 5 pages...
Maybe nowadays. . .
no, its always been like that... comics have always been written with earth as the focal point in the majority of titles...
why wouldnt they be like that?

Superman and Marvel stalemate everytime they fight. They're probably more equal than any other two heroes of the same type.
For the sake of story, Supes is much more powerful than marvel. Why do they even stalemate?

Sinestro is not an earth based villian, which was what I was specifically talking about. When lantern fights Sinestro, we see what he can do versus when he helps the league fight luther.
