Sorry, I meant he's defeated. He even trapped a mage inside his OWN ring and actually used intelligence. But this was a PC feat.

PC feats are fine for Green Lanterns imo.

Regardless, Demogorge wasn't able to keep Thor inside of him, and he's devoured plenty of elder gods. So there's reason to believe that absorbing Thor into any kind of structure or being, is not likely to work.

Oh, I'm not saying it would work on Thor (It very well could, though) or even that I'm counting those PC feats (which aren't in continuity), but, IMO, just saying, "Magic=win" isn't the case for Hal in his earlier appearances. If we do count it, though, Hal is every bit as versatile as the big players in Marvel. Thor, Surfer, etc...

Magic isn't an instant win against anyone, I'm not sure who made that claim.

Regardless, I didn't know that the Green Lanterns were affected by the crisis? I know that the Guardians weren't.

They weren't.

Yes.

Yeah, they're putting a lot of PC stories back into continuity for other heros, but Green Lantern's continuity carried straight through. It's pretty much the only one I can think of. 🙂

There's no more or less versatile.

Thor's hammer performs freaking magic and Hal's ring can do whatever he imagines.

Yeah, when you strip away the hammer and the ring that's what you get.
However, in the battle, Hal is wearing the ring, and he's hardly a regular man wearing it, even without a visible shield or force-field up, a ring-weilder has been shown to be able to take class 100 blows.

improved strength, durability, speed and reaction, to top tier levels pretty much.

There is apparently no clear-cut winner as to which weapon is more "powerful." But it is clear about their wielders. Hal is a man. Thor is a god. All else being equal, Thor wins.

Oversimplification.

As people have tried to point on several occasions, the hammer is more of a conduit for Thor, it's just a tool. He can perform most if not all of his stuff without it. The boost Hal gets from the ring takes a man, and moves him directly to that 'godlike' level.
