yeah, my bad. misread that. 😮
w/out, sinestro beats him (anny STILL wasn't a pushover though). with the rod, he'd win more often than not, but he's still gotta work for it. i don't see him simply 'absorbing' sinestro's energy, which is what some will no doubt claim.

Um, no. With the rod, it's Annihilus' win every time. And yeah, he'll absorb Sinestro's energy.
with the rod, anny was about the equivalent of thor. sinestro could still get some wins. i've seen him absorb quasar's energy that quasar was literally BLASTING at him, but i doubt he could absorb his constructs. i don't see him aborbing sinestro's energy unless sinestro is an idiot and pours his energy into him.

Right, right.Sinestro loses.
meh. i said he loses more often than not. frankly, annihilus's history would NOT indicate he could simply absorb the ring's power at will. if you suppose that, then there's no reason he couldn't simply drain ss, or ANY cosmic. he could even drain thanos then, in theory. 😬
i'd prefer to look at his entire history, as opposed to just one sort of dubious instance against wendell.

He was also draining the Nova Force before being interrupted, wasn't he?
that's true, but in both cases it was only because he was in such close proximity to them. if sinestro can strike from a distance, i still say he can win some of these match ups. i don't see anny absorbing constructs, especially if sinestro forms something lethal to attack him from behind. if he grabbed sinestro, then he could likely drain the ring, or got very close, but i don't see sinestro being that stupid.
