Is that pic from an actual issue? I saw them fake-fight when Kyle was a rookie, but it wasn't going all out.Anyway, Alan. Trickery wouldn't mean much against another seasoned GL...and one who can match or better Kyle in raw power.
Kyle was giving it to Sentinel in JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice for a little bit. However, it was broken up by Mr. Terrific.

😂Kyle has better feats.
Kyle has beaten better opponents.Not quite sure why Alan gets treated like Hal Jordan on this forum but it's pretty funny.
I do it because I'm a mild fanboy, and I can get away with it on KMC because Alan gets lots of love here.
But you're probably right. Hal and Kyle have the best feats, though I would like to point out that Alan isn't far behind them and is a clear #3. A lot of his stuff is from the PC era (Golden/Silver Age) when GLs didn't always do the massive-scale things that they do today (and when his opponents, like Grundy for example, weren't team wreckers they are today).

Unlike Hal and Kyle (especially Countdown Kyle, yikes), he never looks bad but also unlike Hal and Kyle, he never looks amazing either. On a forum that's supposed to be about top portrayals, I think that does him in against either one of them.
Now if you took average portrayals, he'd probably be considered the top Lantern.

Well the thing about Alan is that he's pretty consistent. Actually outside of Superman and Batman, he's probably the most consistently well portrayed hero in the DCU.Unlike Hal and Kyle (especially Countdown Kyle, yikes), he never looks bad but also unlike Hal and Kyle, he never looks amazing either.

I...have nothing to add. This is why Val's among my favorite debaters.
Alan also doesn't take the spotlight often anymore. The GL books have been about Hal/Kyle. Hell, even Guy and random others get more facetime. And JSA is about story and characters...Alan's there as a guiding hand (along with Jay, etc.) but doesn't actually fight as often as most.
