quantim bands vs greenlantern ring

this has probably been done before but i did a search and nothing came out so...here we go

quantum bands VS green lantern ring

which wepons is the more powerful in the hands of a top lantern like hal?
way i see it, the two works almost the same. so, in the hands of just one person, would hal be more powerful with the quantum bands or with the green lantern ring. here, i really cant tell...

also, which has the more powerful power source? i'm more to inclined to believe that the green lantern ring's power source is more powerful since it powers more than just one ring, while the quantum band is just well...one 😛

The ring on both counts.

With all the power of the battery unleashed you become god-like , and a single ring user can freeze time.

I'd like to see a QB user do either...

Is yellow still a weakness for the ring?

It used to be REALLY hard to overcome it, but now it's basically something most lanterns overcome after a weeks worth of training :/

It's quite possible that if one being had full access to the power of the entire quantumverse he might also become god-like...

But yes I can always remember the ring doing all sorts of things other than just energy constructions, like matter transmutation, evolving/devolving living beings, AI, etc, making it more versatile. The time freeze is a good example.

quantum bands for the win

Based on what Quanchi?

What they accomplish with it, depends on the user of the bands/rings. The rings have higher feats and are more powerful, simple as that.

Keeper?

Something that most people don't remember about the Quantum Bands is that the constructs which are created don't fade away when the user loses concentration or gets knocked out. I see that as a distinct advantage. The Quantum Bands also never run out of power. The Quantum Bands don't have any lethal force restrictions on them. The Quantum Bands also do not have any weaknesses (which may not matter to someone like Hal, but he still has to fight fear and overcome it, just look at 'Sinestro Corps War'😉.

But I don't remember seeing Quasar ever drawing from an infinite energy source directly linked to the Quantum Bands. In the past, when he is outclassed by someone like the Surfer, he's had to steal energy from him to keep up.

So at their utmost potential, Hal could absolutely cheat and steal the Power of the Guardians. But on any average day, I do believe the Quantum Bands are better. BTW, what did Maelstrom do with the Quantum Bands? Does anybody know or have scans? Their potency definitely relies on how strong the user is.

'nuff said about you.

Quantum bands

No weakness
No recharging
No restrictions on killing

Constructs stay forever-untill destroyed
Quantum jumping-instead of transluminal travel-which the lanterns do

Just off the top of my head, with these differences,there is no need for feat comparisons.. imo

Kyle held off the big bang, Quasar couldn't even hold off Annihilus :/

I did not see Kyle vs Quasar?

Quasar absorbed ego, held off galactus blast etc.....quantum bands vs GL ring...thats what i see and responded to, feats are for the users, but the equipment? i will take the quantum bands any day anytime over a GL ring

If we don't add feats, then it's just based on speculation. We need to know the upper limits of the rings/bands, otherwise this thread is just pointless.

I know enough of them both to add my view

Without a hesitation..i take the quantum bands

Easy debate if you ask me, if i was not a fair and respectable debator i would say anybody who picks a GL ring is just a fanboy...but i would never do that 🙂
