Mongul vs Thor

Thor

Mongul. I don't see Thor taking apart Sinestro or the GLC like Mongul.

Good fight but I think all six rings are being overly hyped as they still need willpower to work. Thor gets my vote after a long fight, after all he beat the Destroyer. Even with all of those rings I can't see Mongul coming out on top.

I would give current Mongul the edge against current Thor

Umm, no they don't. They work by fear, not willpower.

Thanks for the correction, I thought they worked the same way that the Emerald rings did, I guess when all of those different rings came up I decided to ignore the fine details. What happens if Thor has no fear of these rings? how would this affect him?

it's not thor's fear that powers the rings, it's mongul's ability to instil fear in others. basically, imo, if you're a scary bastard, the ring works for you, regardless of who you're fighting. they haven't really elaborated on the finer details, though. all we know is that it's to do with the user's ability to instill fear.

the ring itself won't affect thor. against thor, it will basically work like a gl ring. sc rings only tend to have their unique characteristics when going up against the other corps.

i say thor wins anyways. mongul isn't that skilled with the rings, seeming to depend on his physical attributes more than anything. it's this reliance, imo, that makes him beatable by the likes of Thor...

Being fear-based is a fine detail?

If you've never touched a green lantern comic it could pass as a "moderately small detail" but fine detail? no.

I agree with this, mongul rarly makes a construct and also rarly even uses them to bast things. I think the only thing he does use them for is flight and he might be increasing his strength with them.

When you think about it, Mongul is very reliant on the rings. Without them, his left arm falls off and his left eye falls out. The rings are literally keeping him together.

actually, they'd fare better since he beat him by overriding his ring. 😬

Thor will over power him.

he wasn't so impressive in the latest green lantern issue, you could have replaced him with the thing, grundy, rhino, blockbuster, etc against sinestro and it wouldn't have made a difference.

Didn't Mongul pretty much own Sinestro and the GLC? I don't see thor doing that/

It's difficult to use Mongul "without" the rings, since he needs them to attach his left arm and eye.

Same issue, I guess, but didn't he hold his own against a team of GLC? Then swallowed by the Mercy creature? Pretty good durability feat.

It's an arm dude, unless Mongul has some insane healing factor the tendons and all that won't grow back. The eye also basically exploded, so I think he's creating a replacement eye.
