Silver Surfer vs Hal Jordan: Who is More Versatile?

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

Why didn't he just heal jill pealman?

because about five seconds after he created the hospital room, he got attacked yet again. ill show you the scans, one min...

and there's no evidence to suggest he can't heal others. during the arc where he stitches himself up, he also destroys nanites within the systems of other green lanterns. leezle pon (sp?), a GL version of the smallpox virus, kills a sinestro corps virus inside guy gardner in GL 25.

the thing about "PC" stuff is that it was completely ridiculous, if hal was stronger now than he was back then, he still wouldn't do those things like he did in the pc days since the writing was bad.

just curious: has Hal done anything in the pre-C era that U *wouldnt* think twice about if Surfer did it??

cuz it seems to me that alot of ppl hold pre-C GLs to a differing standard than they do heralds, even tho their abilities were basically the same (and from the jump, since a GL was SUPPOSED TO be able to "do anything" from Showcase #22 on.......)

for example: pc luthor can take down pc superman with iirc an orange, flashlight, and a can. is that a testament to lex's mind or the fact that pc era comics were for kids?

granted, some of that WAS ridiculous if U tried to make sense of it, however (IMNSHO) most of those "feats" were in the '50s - early '70s.......and Im pretty damn sure we could find a good number of moments like that for Reed, Doom and the like; its not like DC had a monopoly on ridiculousness.

Versatility goes to Hal, power goes to the Surfer.

How does versatility go to Hal?

Well as you have seen, all GL's can make any variety of energy construct that their minds can imagine. This is why they get the nod for being more versatile. The Surfer may also be able to create solid light constructs but I have yet to see him do this on the level or as easily as Gl's or someone in possession of the Q bands.

Like I said before Hal is more versatile while the Surfer is more powerful.

Energy constructs...really, that's what makes them more versatile?

I feel like smacking you.

Well perhaps you should define versatility to me. I weas comparing the two the same way that I would compare Plastic Man to Mr. Fantastic, one of these guys is physically more versatile than the other.

If we were to compare all of the things that Hal could do with the ring and compare all of the things that the Surfer has done, Hal comes out looking to be the one who is more versatile.

They can both exceed light speed, they are both class 100's in their own respects, so how do can I say that Hal get the nod? Well energy manipulation is all I've got.

Then we ask you.

"Why are you comparing what Hal CAN do to what the Surfer HAS done, instead of comparing what Hal HAS done to what the Surfer HAS done"

Because from where I'm sitting it would take everything that the Surfer has done in his entire history to compare with how easily Hal manipulates energy. I've never really thought that the Surfer should have ever been compared to Hal in the first place.

One of these guys is a pure powerhouse while the other can be compared to a precision instrument, Hal has simply showed that he can do more with his powers than the Surfer can.

Am I saying that Hal would win a majority if he fought the Surfer? No, only that he can use his power with more flavors added to it than the Surfer.

This as I attempted to point out earlier is the only way for me to determine who is more versatile.

hal has shown all types of matter manipulation. everything from changing the composition of his body to evolving and devolving super beings.
