A GL Ring vs. Supermans powers

I loved when he beat down a Daxamite as Ion. Truly fun stuff.

The Ring follows voice commands. It's also a super computer connected to the Lantern Corps Central Database, it's not just a weapon. You could have the ring do the work for you. All you'd need to do is give the ring the following commands:

1) Search for a suitable power source that will keep you charged and replenish your reserves.
2) Search for a device suitable of siphoning the energy from source found in command #1 and transmitting the energy to your power supply.
3) Copy design details of device and create a construct of the device found in command #2 which will perpetually funnel the energies to your reserves.
4) Shield me from any harmful radiation caused by energy syphon process.

Once that's complete this so called weakness is eliminated. It simply requires for the ring bearer to be creative and intelligent. It's not for everyone.

The Superman powers are a lot easier to use, but used properly the Ring simply trumps being a Kryptonian. Particularly when you can have the ring scan your genetics and then give the command:

1) Search a 30 light year radius for a being with superhuman physical capabilities. Upon finding said being, scan it's genetic make-up and map it's DNA, then store the template for future use.

And given the scan that the GL ring can travel light years in moments you could have remap your body in under an hour assuming the ring found a template. You could also have the ring do something like analyze a creature which has the ability to regenerate (like a salamander), map it's genetics, and then incorporate the regenerative properties into your own letting the ring do all the work.

Hell, you could use the ring to make yourself into Animal Man.

The OP didn't give it infinite charge so we must assume the default standard GL ring. And the ring isn't a genie. You must know exactly how to alter your genetics to gain benefit. And since we are all morons when dealing with genetics then trying to grant ourselves super powers with the ring would be like trying to find a needle in a countrysized haystack in 1 week (and the needle might not exist too).

thats actually not true at all : John was able to correct a flaw in an antidote simply by using the Ring, Kyle was able to totally re-make his own body down to the cellular level (as was shared previously), and Hal turned his friend Tom into a *bird*.....just by using the Ring. hell, that last was done w/o the AI at that.

and speaking of that AI, given the immense size of its database, those werent really too difficult of a feat (or feats) to accomplish, BUT no advanced knowledge of genetics were required in any of them.

GL's can do these type of things because they can analyze Superman's or anyone elses genetic code in order to duplicate it. But they certainly can't do it without a basis to analyze.

actually, they could simply manipulate human DNA to acquire them, much in the same way Luthor created Kon-El.

With Superman's powers if you were to hybernate in the Sun for a certain amount of time then you will be truly immortal, astronomically more powerful, and your weaknesses would be gone forever (kryptonite, magic, red sun radiation, etc.)
Superman's powers is the better choice.

yea, making yur self young AND fit is something that we know that has been done by atleast 2 GLs, so if anything Supes is only playing catch-up on that matter.

the Superman only did so w/the GLs help if U recall, and 1 of the Supermen help was ALSO a pre-CoIE Kryptonian.

so again, yur argument *still* doesnt work.

actually, Ion *did* only have 1 Ring then, and Parallax didnt have ANY.

Point is on average a gl isnt that impressive. Kryptonians on average are beasts.

thats due to having a HUGE physical edge, which nobody here is trying to refute, however theres a difference between STRENGTH and POWER.....and GLs have the latter locked up in spades.

You are aware that Kal-El hibernated in the Sun for 100+ centuries to become the Golden Prime version, right? Who would really want to sleep in the sun for 15,000 years? And there was no proof that Supes at that point was beyond being owned by a high end energy manipulator that could make his solar power toxic to him.

gl is only limited by imagination... so its better than the power of superman, but i'd argue that there arent many better than either of these two, as they are both seen as gods in respect to their power

oh, and I forgot: John Stewart beoming like unto a Guardian himself by swallowing his Ring.

to repeat: thats ONE Ring that did that.

But arent they entities themselves thus making them Parallax or Ion. So with one ring no one is becoming Ion or Parallax on their own.

the 1st Ion was entity-less, and Parallax (despite the retcon) was as powerful as he was due to having drained the CPB w/o a Ring.

I am saying that the Kryptonians had to stop a precrisis kryptonian. You know dc holds kryptonians in higher regard than green lanterns.

yea, it took 1 pre-CoIE Kryptonian to stop another.

that DC holds the worlds 1st superhero (and the source for a large part of the companys income thru various means) in higher regard than another lesser known property is pretty much a GIVEN.
