Surfer has done all these too.

that's why their versatility is about equals..

I know. I never said he couldn't. like i said, if we take into account ALL feats, pre or post, it's about even.

exactly.

Has Hal ever healed other ppl's injuries before? Permanently empowered others to create life? Create permanent objects with exotic powers?

yes, he has. even his teammates. hal was infected with a virus and basically got rid of it. Hal has even willed himself to live.

Heal injuries, not cure diseases/viruses. Two different things entirely. I ask this cuz I've always thought healing is the fuction of the blue ring. Does Hal carry the blue ring now?

And yes, Surfer has cured infections as well. Heck, he's even managed to heal computer viruses.

Also, can Hal convert matter into energy and energy into real (non-construct) matter. Surfer has done that.

If the ring could do that, then what's the point of the damned lantern thingie that they use to recharge?

something like turning energy into confetti? Hal has done that. i can try and find more examples if you want.

this was a long time ago, so it's pre crisis feat. he healed a bunch of teammates in an issue of JLA.

That doesn't mean those things are permanent. Surfer has been able to create permanent items with exotic powers before (as when he created one for Doom) w/c is a far cry from energy confetti.

Also, has Hal ever permanently empowered OTHERS with exotic powers?

Has Hal ever created life (even plant life)?

Also, I'll love to see the scan of the healing feat if possible please. 🙂

I'd like to see Hal be able to power himself without the lantern thingie (through absorption of ambient light, conversion of matter to energy, etc.) like the Surfer could. I think Surfer has got him trumped in this department.

They were real and permanent in the story.

Check out these scans from these 2 respect threads. this is just SOME of the stuff Hal and other GL's can do.

hopefully this helps, bud.

Silver Surfer versatility is among top. It's just that his raw power can't compare to his versatility. Don't get me wrong. Silver Surfer is very powerful, but his versatility of powers is better than his brute raw power.
He can do many things, but not to very big scope as some others cosmic beings.

damn, i love this feat. shows that the ring doesn't really have limits. not only does hal jordan NEGATE Myrwheddon's MAGIC, but the ring has an entire world inside of it!

yes, he has.

GL v4 #12, he tells the ring to repair his own tissue damage, which it does.

couple more iirc, but i need to check issue numbers...

With PC feats. Hal is more versatile then the Surfer. Reason is, besides the massive matter/energy manipulation feats, having the power to create a construct to address the situation is incredibly handy.

With out PC feats, Silver Surfer edges out. Since Hal has not bin written, to the degree of brokenness he has prior CoIE.

Speaking of, I would love to see Dr. Doom wield a GL ring or equivalent. He would be able to basically reproduce all of technology through constructs. peaches

His OWN tissue damage. 😛 I said OTHER ppl's injuries.

if he tells the ring to do it, though, does it make a difference?

he says "ring, stitch me up."

i doubt there's much difference if he says "ring, stitch ______ up"

also, not sure if it applies, but about four issues later, he creates a hospital room with his ring to keep jill pearlman's vitals stable.

Yes, it matters. Nova can do self-repair himself, but he can't repair others.

Why didn't he just heal jill pealman?
