It demonstrates matter/energy manipulation. But did those beings resist the Lantern's efforts? Were they competent energy wielders? Fact is, Surfer has absorbed the Hulk's gamma radiation. That's significantly different from absorbing Firelord's blasts or absorbing Legacy and his Negabands into his friggin surfboard. I constructed my question carefully, "Have any Lanterns usurped or at least absorbed a competent energy wielder's energies?"

As for lanters creating tech of thin air, I dont' think that would happen to the specifics that others have stated. But Sinestro did show that he didn't have to know a thing about that plane to put it back together. Plus dont' all the rings share a common link to oa? That would mean all of the history of the rings and everything they have studied would be up for grabs correct? I'd say the rings can conjure up something to effectively trap the surfer. Or Drain him.
Hal and Sinestro don't have a broken Power Cosmic Siphon Harness in this fight. 😂 And while it's logical to believe that they could use the ring's AI to access the Oan database, I've never seen them do so. It'd be great for Hal to ask his ring's AI for info on how to make a Manhunter battery for when he fights Sinestro Corps members. It never happens though. And the Oan database does not have Dr. Doom's blueprints anyway. Fact is, unless GLs have access to the technology, they can't create a facsimile of it. But if you have proof otherwise, by all means, share it.

I have to try and find some old scans to see about a lantern beating an energy wielder. i'm sure firestorm, and captain atom have ran across a lantern in a fight.
By all means, please.

I'm confused at the question. I'm basing surfer not being able to alter his physiology on the fact that it was galactus that altered him in the first place to have the power cosmic. The only other times we see surfer altered is when someone of greater power than himself does it. If surfer could alter himself, he would no longer be the same guy that galactus made. Turning himself into one pure form of energy would be outside of his abilities anyway. So he cannot replicate the feat that photon did. She's pretty unique in comics. not many beings can do what she does. And if he becomes will power energy, then he certainly would be there to be absorbed by sinestro's ring' or hal's ring, or thier batteries. we know the batteries can cross absorb.

Whoever told you that Surfer couldn't alter his physical makeup or become forms of energy lied to you...

wait. since when is turning your self into a walking atom bomb alterning your physical make up? couldn't anyone with energy manip do the same by altering the energy surrounding them?

The scan certainly didn't say he alterned any genetic make up. Or physical makeup.

matter -> energy, very simple to understand no?

You're not doing a very good job of countering his point.

No where does it state or show surfer turning into pure energy. A solid hunk of energy isn't what Photon did. And how do we take things word for it? He's a scientist now?Him turning into a walking bomb can mean many things. Hell, he could charge himself with hydrogen and wait until things blow. The scan is unclear. Not at all anything I consider note worthy of him changing into energy. And if you are saying matter->energy, then hal jordan can alter matter with the best of them. Shaggy man anyone? Hell hal turned himself into light once.

He became solidified energy, that constitutes altering your physical makeup and becoming a form of energy.

^ I prefer this interpretation.

Boo to pre-Crisis. But I can see your point that Thing's word is the best we have to rely on. How about this for changing his physical makeup or into a form of energy:

It would appear he did that. I've never seen him do it again. Isn't that from the silver age? If his form can be altered as such, then someone of sufficient power equal to his own would be able to do the same?

Is that what that is? Looks like he's still the surfer. martian manhunter can do much the same.

Uh goober.. you realize that you are solidified energy?

You're composed of electrons neutrons and protons, which are in turn composed of things such as leptons and the like...

Well... I mean the last panel in the first page makes it seem like his physical form is changing. It's ok if you don't like it.

🙁

Thanks for the breather. I was getting backed into a terrible corner.

I've seen him do similar things before but not very often(and for some reason I'm drawing a blank on where I've seen it right now). It's not his staple the way it is Photon's and he has more efficient tactics at his disposal if he wants to get exotic so it doesn't come up much.

Ok. So he changed his form into a big silver ball instead humanoid. Is that the same altering your energy signature into something else as Photon did? She became the will power energy to usurp it. I can't see surfer doing that. Maybe that is just me. And it took her time to do it.

Surfer's got instances of manipulating both psychic and spiritual energy to his credit, so I really don't see why he'd have too tough a time with the will based energy of GL's if Photon was able to do it. And if the energy type itself allowed Photon to do what she did then it just being able to manipulate that energy type would be enough, it wouldn't be necessary to actually BECOME the energy.

Has anyone else simply copied the energy and manipulated it from the users ring in such a way? And what will does surfer have? He's like an automoton these days. How could he manipulate the energy effectively?
