Well for anyone who didn't notice Sodam Yat did blast Superboy Prime twice but he just wouldn't go down. And seeing as how Superboy was over him practically the whole fight, I don't see what the problem is . He didn't really have time to come up with a plan on how to beat him.
For your first point, about the lead, I don't think you understand just how big a weakness lead is for Daxamites. It isn't simply analogous to Kryptonite - the minute amounts of lead found in our atmosphere is almost instantly lethal to them, much less being kicked around in a reactor full of it.
As for the second.....do you think firing a small blast of green at your enemy is all a Lantern ring is capable of?
Really?

Which doesn't really matter, seeing as the damage was already done. While he was weakened, Yat had a large uranium shaft shoved through his body. He suffered a critical injury almost immediately.

I sure did. Well enough to know that you're making things up that weren't in it.
False accusations

In case you haven't noticed the green lantern power stopped the lead poisoning from progressing and actually started reversing the process. So practically everything the lead had done to his body aswell as the injuries sustained were being repaired.
The lead poisoning is reversed :
And the progress of the poisoning is stopped :

Where did I say that ?
I pointed out that Yat actually tried using the green lantern energy against him two times in their fight but as I also pointed out, Superboy was all over him so there wasn't time for him to actually come up with a plan to beat him.

The ring never claimed it has successfully reversed the lead poisoning, just that it was attempting to. Further, noting that removing the ring would lead to progressive poisoning doesn't mean the damage hadn't already been dealt.

Are you saying that the line about the ring attempting to fix the damage was put there for nothing, despite the fact that nothing points out that he didn't succed, the fact that Yat was obviously fine later in the fight and the lead poisoning or its effects were never mentioned again ? 😬
It's pretty obvious that the ring stopped the lead poisoning from advancing and reversed the damages the amount of lead that he was exposed up the the point had done.
I have read the issue and actually agree with erik on this matter. Really though its hard to prove either case without asking the writer what kind of effect the lead poisoning really had on Sodam. Did the effects linger or did the ring neutralize it and was he allowed to recover? I know it hurt him badly but I felt he recovered later in the fight and that it wasnt touched on. So I think that damage was indeed done early but that he recovered. Prime was just to much for him. Round one goes to Prime with or without the lead poisoning but round 2 and once he figures his shit out who knows? I dont think they pumped up Sodam as the new Ion for nothing.
Anyone remember Mon-El? Daxamite who visited earth when Clark was a kid? Well, Mon-El was poisoned from a small breadbox sized lead box. And it almost killed him in about 10 seconds. Clark had to stick him in the phantom zone to save his life. And they couldn't cure him until the 31st century and the LSH. Supes tried for centuries to find a way to cure him of the lead poisoning. I think even a GL ring would have considerable trouble reversing that kind of damage.

So you keep saying.
But where did you get the impression that "reversing the lead poisoning" would in any way undo the damage he had sustained before the lead poisoning was reversed?

His daxamite physiology. If daxamites are anything like kryptonians (which they are) they also have the healing factor that comes along with the powerset.
Thats why I think that sbp would have beat him even with training.
sbp was toying with him. When he said that ion "was no more than superman-lite with a power ring." he was right in a sense. To sbp, that is what he is. I think that hes more powerful than people think. Why else would the am have chosen him out of everyone in both universes to be his herald and not even bother to give him a sc ring?
