not if its already formed, but if the QB-user is in the midst of generating one, then they can fail.

The Quantum Bands don't have any lethal force restrictions on them.
this much is true, but by the same token they can be used against U even if yur "chosen" to be a QB'er, and theres a slight issue to be dealth with on this very topic (check #3 below)

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'😉.
1) U cant take them off (which can be argued either way really)
2) if yur knocked out, U can still have yur forearms removed, and THEN yur ****ed since theres not too many auto-protect measures to cover yur @$$
3) if U dont use the QBs right, U FRY ; this is a built in feature of the QBs from almost Day 1 that most ppl dont know about, and yur odds of using them right arent high at all, ESPECIALLY if U have a killer instinct.

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.
the QBs draw energy from Infinity herself, so yea thats an infinite source.

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.
thats fair. incorrect, but fair. 😄

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.
most of the feats Mael did w/the QBs were done while he ALSO had the Anomaly abilities plus Cosmic Awareness, as well as his own innate Kinetic Energy Control.
Mael was *far* from a good showing of a QB-user, seeing as it took all of that to let him do wat he wanted.
