A GL Ring vs. Supermans powers

Started by Doctor-Alvis14 pages

I'd pick a Green Lantern ring. I could do anything Superman could do to the maximum meaningful degree in the real world. Meaning I wouldn't need the ability to move or burn an entire planet with no villains or crazy circumstances that happen in the comics.

Depending on how well the ring takes care of you, you're lifespan would probably approach 100 years and in that time whoever wants it can probably figure out immortality or at least extended life.

incorrect. all he would lose is his energy-powers and retun to kryptonian (he'd need to eat tho).

Supes gets beat down by STR, so thats nothing different. and if the Ring could resist Lobo-lvl STR, wat makes ya think TK would be more successful in the same attempt??

now, matter-manip is a diff story, but GLs have a *better chance* of resisting, and REVERSING, said attempts than Supes does.

well, thats yur opinion. however look at how their fights go, and he generally hits as good as he *gets hit*, so I wouldnt sneeze at his STR.

1) I meant no sun (in real life), no life at all on Earth, thus supporting my initial statement regarding the duration of Superman powers.

2) I meant Lobo was a gag-character, does weird-ass crazy things normally... so I don't really know if he's all that good a benchmark. it may just have been funnier to see him try and fail, making for a shorter compact story, rather than him getting the ring and starting off some other adventure ...

I guess it depends I don't know the actual limits of the green lantern's power,

Can he will something ala his lantern/battery to power-up the ring indefinitely?

Something to give him immortality/agelessness?

Something to amp his powers-up to unlimited lvls?(Say a helmet that made them the smartest in the universe, and some super lab to alter himself with nanotech, mystic arts tech, etc)

IF he can do any of that I take gl. If not I take superman since he can potentially be ageless/immortal and constantly increase his powers(according to the one million comics)

Gl's have willed themselves to match The Flash's speed, with little effort at that.
Matching Superman's shouldn't be a problem.


None of my post was irrelevant,superman has flown faster then any recent flash feats I can remember,and for being such badasses its funny that nearly everytime superman and gls go head to head he wins,if anyone on this forum thinks they have enough willpower to match supermans powers they are on drugs.

Ud have a point....except Lobo *isnt* a gag character. and trying to dismiss anything involving him based on that alone doesnt really help yur argument.

1) actually, most recent match-ups aside (last 2 that I know of the GL WON) overall they pretty much pull even. Supes represents a huge offensive force, but the GL represents huge capacity for an equal response.

2) that would be yur own opinion, since U have no idea wat any1 else in the forum is capable of; if ya dont think *U* can use a Ring, then thats yur own short-coming. no offense intended there.

O please do you really think you or anyone else here could actually use it to match supes powers?if you answer yes your lying,it takes more then willpower(which no one in existence actually has comic level willpower)to operate a ring,and what recent showings?last time I remember supes and gl fighting supes destroyed johns constructs like they were paper.

Lobo is a gag character. Have you read some of his stuff?

It doesn't invalidate his feats of course but it's hard to believe that Lobo was ever meant to be taken seriously.

to answer all of that: yes, a GL=Ring is capable of doing so. the Rings have shown (numerous times) the easily-done capability to re-write a persons physiology, even altering genetic code, so if U have just a bit of knowledge about DNA U *could* re-work it into something MORE than human.

so in short, its like a few posters have said: U could make yurself into Superman (if U so wished) , and still have the Ring.

1) again, U have NO IDEA wat any1 here is capable of so yur OPINION here holds as much water as my saying yur face looks like a warm turd on toast. as I have NO idea wat U look like, how can it be accurate??

THATS how strong yur comment is.

2) well, the most recent John/Supes matchup I remember had John take down ALL of the JLA (in GL:Rebirth ), but the LAST matchup I can think of was Supes/Kilowog in S/B .....and Kilo won that too as I recall.

I can comment on what other people can do because no one has comic level willpower,you arguing this is ****ing ridiculous do you honestly believe you have the comic level willpower to do what a gl can?anyone who says yes is lying there is no other answer im sorry your full of crap if you think otherwise,even people with lots of willpower in comics cant just go weilding gl rings so what makes you think you can?

1) he didnt seem like a gag character in 52 or B&tB, which were most recent showing I know of him having.

2) have U ever read any of his EARLY stuff?? from THOSE, I wouldnt take him as a gag character....but thats my opinion obviously.

In 52 he was the religious leader of a group of space dolphins and negotiated by tearing Starfire's top off.

I think we may simply have different definitions of what being a gag character is.

I'll admit I haven't read his early stuff.

I cant comment on wat other ppl MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be able to do since I dont know wat other ppl are capable of.

*U* might be capable of bending yur fingers back far enuff to touch yur watch, or even the wrist itself......but I have no idea since I DONT KNOW WAT YUR CAPABLE OF. and guess wat? same goes for U too.

also U dont need comic willpower to power the Ring, for if *tha* were the case then Ice would never have been capable of doing so, nor those 4 kids that John made Rings for, nor all of the passerby in the street that Jordan *sold* them to (of course, he had a good reason for doing so but they were just ordinary citizens.)

interesting...... 😄

I would take Kryptonian powers anyday of the week over this ring. I know the ring is impressive but it still runs out of juice and can stil be destroyed while being a Krpytonian you just have to avoid magic and red suns.

How can you even tell? There's never any kind of reference points regarding the will required like how comic martial artists have punching through steel and dodging bullets and stuff. We know how strong steel is and how fast bullets move but will is intangible.

And me, because I'm red sunning everyone who picked Superman in this thread when I get my GL ring.

Until you use it to make a sledgehammer haermm

LOL @ nubs picking Superman powers.

GL ring ANY TIME> OMG. A GL Ring was able to beat A version of Amazo with EVERY SUPER POWER on earth. Superman gets beat up by the weaker versions of Amazo. A GL ring held a big Bang. Superman Can't hold a star. A GL Ring allows it's user to change thier dna, suck up planets worth of souls, etc. In reality, a well trained Person with a GL ring would embarrass someone well trained with Superman's powers.
