they arent really, theyre just a bit stronger. truth be told if it werent for the ability to shut down the Rings they dont seem much diff than Ion 2.0. in effectiveness (which as observed hasnt been that great based on wat we've seen to date).

Nope.The Alpha Lanterns are seasoned Corpsmen who have been fused with their Power Rings and Batteries. Alpha Lanterns More...
yea, I dont think calling the AL's "seasoned Corpsmen" is valid given 2 of them were brand new to the Corps.....

I mean thats like almost a thousand lanterns per Alpha. And some of those lanterns still have powers other than their rings. How they gonna do all that before they're just over run? 😕
aside from Torquemada, who else has a side ability??

Oh the ones that actually have names. Alpha Corp should stomp via shutting down about a dozen rings. Anyone that hose other powers besides the ring would be taken care of handily by the supposed "cream of the crop" Oa's military force.With the exception of Sodam Yat + Ion ... I have no proof of this but I gonna guess that they can't shut down the power of Ion. Would be shocked if they were that strong.
Sodam could solo only because I am assuming he can't be shut down and all the others could be.
they cant shut down Ion, however they could still shutdown Yats Ring.........which would lead to him dying not long afterward.
which is yet ANOTHER REASON he stinks as a character.

I mean when HAl went all crazy and took a ton of rings Alpha guys could have stepped in and be like "no, stop" and off it goes.
when hal went crazy afaik there were no alpha lanterns which are new to the glc sincethe return of the lost lanterns who were captured by cyborg superman iirc.
And ion was established directly by the guardians themselves... I think it is actually unclear whether ion requires a ring... However sodam could die from the lead back from superbly shoving it in him during infinite crisis? I would think that there being only one ion puts him above the powers of the alphas.... But like I said who knows..
1 ion 4 alphas 1600 regular gl corps members...
If you said mogo was still alive....

I thought the Ion force and the ring was connected. IMO i really think A person with the power of Ion (even 2.0 version) a aplha should not be able to cut off the connection between the user and the ring or the ring itself. A alpha can do it to a normal GL but to a Ion imbued ring bearer? I just find it hard to believe. Either way one can not prove it. Atleast I don't think so..I mean when HAl went all crazy and took a ton of rings Alpha guys could have stepped in and be like "no, stop" and off it goes.
well, they are connected in 1 fashion: apparently Yat couldnt access the power of the symbiote while he wore the Ring, and THAT was happening becuz Scar was preventing it from adhering to his requests.
yea yea, I know how stupid that sounds..........

well, even b4 then the Oans could shut down a GLCr's Ring, but on the day Hal went bonkers it was just too convenient that they remember being able to that..........

Ion doesn't require a ring. Yat was given a ring to prevent the lead that was given to him by Prime in the Tales of Sinestro War. He also has the ring to limit the use of Ion force. Mogo is still alive, and I think the amount of GL there are in the DC is a lot more then 1,600
Yat wasnt given a Ring; he simply kept the 1 he was given as a GLC-member.
I dont recall him using it as a limiter for the Ion-pwr however.......
