Originally posted by AvlonGo ahead and make a thread about 1977 exiled depowered Surfer vs current Hal Jordan. Until then, I've continually pointed out the context of those occurences and how a post-exiled Surfer has handled himself against energy absorption. You want to ignore them, that's your cup of tea. You still haven't shown me a single scan of a Lantern absorbing energies from a competent energy wielder.
As for your points. You've got nothin' but once sided fallacies and opinions. Oh, "it's better that Doom drains than Black hand"... are you serious? LOL!!!! Drainage is drainage.
Originally posted by AvlonOther than specialized tech that Lanterns have no access to, post-exile Surfer has resisted, overloaded or plain beat on any attempts to absorb his power. And your use of feats s completely drawn from pre-Crisis. The rookie GL is pre-Crisis. I've shown you three instances of current GLs who couldn't escape black holes. That was pre-Crisis Hal in pieces. I've referenced three times current Surfer has survived being cut into pieces. As for this:
Oh..now SS got an undefined power boost so he's immune to drainage! Which as already been proven false. The iron man example is just one since it's the same power set.I put it into simple terms earlier and showed scans of Hal doing some pretty amazing things himself. You showed a GL having an issue with a black hole and I addressed it by showing a rookie CLOSING a black hole and a few of the ok GL's surviving a black hole.
You showed SS in pieces, I showed Hal in pieces.
You showed SS starting a process of planetary genetic manipulation (which he had no control over) and I showed you Hal stopping time for a system.
You showed SS running into a beam smaller than his body as a battle speed feat and I showed you Hal keeping up with a speeding flash and having conversation.

Did some research. This is from Green Lantern #72, published in 1969, also before the Crisis. Also, the reason why Hal's suspending everything within a thousand miles of the planet is because he's focusing on aliens in ships that are in orbit. The Verdees aliens, prodded on by the Wagnorians, invaded a starship of the Berliotz aliens and started fighting. And he's only using life-suspending rays on the aliens and not actually stopping time. It's not even a solar system wide feat. Planet + 1000 miles to stop all the jerks in the spaceships orbiting the planet. And finally a scan of Hal keeping up with Barry at indescript speeds. How fast are they going? I don't. Because I know how fast Silver Surfer was going in all four of my nanosecond FTL feats.
Originally posted by AvlonYes, they're not GL fodder. But I will not be drawn into your simplistic reductionist argument. This isn't a case of "two competent energy wielders vs one competent energy wielder." I've demonstrated Surfer's clear superiority over current Lanterns already. You haven't shown a single scan that shows they could replicate Dr. Doom's technology without having prior analysis of it. You haven't shown a single scan of current Hal or Sinestro absorbing or siphoning energy from a competent energy wielder. You haven't shown a single scan of current Hal or Sinestro resisting or overpowering an energy wielder or piece of technology. Once again you've dodged my clear questions and requests for proof. This is easy math. I have the feats and scans to support my conclusions, you have nothing but conclusions:
Someone brought up the GL/SS crossover and I addressed it. Hint. It wasn't great for SS. OK, but not great.Now we have 2 characters who are DEBATABLY in SS class (as they aren't GL fodder) together vs SS.
SS for the loss. It's easy math to get and understand. You could make a nice case vs any one of them on their own, but together? They win.
1. "Show me a scan where a current Lantern was able to create plasma construct imitations of technology or create/transmute such technology without guidance or prior access to or prior analysis of such technology."
2. "Show me scans where a current Lantern usurped or at least absorbed a competent energy wielder's energies."
3. "Show me scans where a current Lantern either beat or overloaded a competent energy wielder's efforts or technology."
