King Thor vs the GL corps.

It takes more than a year or two, which is what they've had at best, to drop the rookie status. More than half of these guys would not be able to stop a yellow truck. Have you read any of the Green Lantern annual comics? In some of those they show us the daily lives of other green lanterns. Nobody's even close to the low herald ranking, let alone making a difference here.

This fight doesn't take place in the DC verse where throwing another street level into the fray might actually make a difference. Anybody below herald won't be able to affect him, let alone do damage. You could throw 500 fodder lanterns against Superman and I bet you that he could kill them with his heat vision alone.

Nooo, I'm pretty sure 500 fodder lanterns would slap Superman in constructs and drag him to an Oan science cell without much fight.

It was 30~40 fodders who stopped Superboy Prime's rush to Oa.

I haven't read the annuals, but I have read GL Corps, and there's a lot of lanterns there that have joined since Recharge/Rebirth who aren't bad. Isamot and Vath, for example.

the whole corps would be too much for even OF Thor IMO

It was not just the fodders, but Guy Gardner among others. It's also not that big a feat when Prime started trashing them as soon as he fought back. Putting up a green wall that Prime flew straight into does not really say anything about combat expertise. It says that they know how to pool their abilities in a laughably basic manner. Which is why, like I've already said, guys like Salaak and Kilwog make or break the first scenario.

^ Singling out Guy Gardner out of all the other GL's demonstrates at least a passing knowledgability of the GL Corps...

... which is shattered by suggesting that Guy's plan was unsophisticated. uhuh

This thread... has lasted 6 pages. 😐

Of course, Bran.

Struggling to repair to the moon>>>>>>anything 7200 Lanterns are capable of.

I don't see how Thor wins here, tbh, and I've tried.

Isamot and Vath are both formerly trained warriors. Though awesome and good characters, they would be fleas compared to King Thor. Several hundred lanterns against Superman would go -EXACTLY- like it did in Superman: Red Son.

And so are a lot of other recruits, and sure they're flees, but there's 7,200 of them.

Red Son lanterns didn't show a fraction of the power of normal corpspeople, especially the ones with duplicate rings. Everyone but Superman was powered down there and/or Superman was powered up.

So what if it's a basic manner? You have 70 groups all doing that at once (+the stronger individuals doing their thing too) and you have a ton to worry about. You don't need more than basic when you have 7,200 to 1 numerical advantage.

I mean, I don't think that King Thor is so far beyond the combined forces of Hal, Kyle, John, Guy, Kilowog, Arisia, Salaak, and the other mid-to-highly experienced Lanterns at the Corps disposal. 7200 is above and beyond what's required to beat King Thor.

King Thor can basically oneshot everyone he comes across.He also tanked the destroyer beams which are far more powerful than any gl construct which they can bring to bear.

I'll point out that all the Corps firing at once is pretty much the entire output of the central battery. We know of two beings who have controlled the entire output of the central battery. Parallax (Hal) and Ion (Classic).

Either of which I'd put well above the Destroyer.

Not if he's going all out. We've seen what he's capable of. I know the number of 7200 seems overwhelming but Thor himself at classic levels has taken on groups of trolls, etc. without using his best abilities.

Yeah, Thor is incredibly powerful, but the comparison to the Corps to trolls is a bit unfair, imo. Despite being fodder in the general sense, each of them offers Thor a decent distraction simply due to their versatility and sheer numbers. Thor isn't going to know which Lanterns are the main threats, and a continuous onslaught from thousands of Lanterns are going to take it's toll on him.

I agree that no one single Lantern would probably be able to equal the damage output of the Destroyer's beams, but in the long run, it's going to add up. And that's without taking into effect that any fallen Lanterns will leave behind spare weapons for the remaining survivors.

I honestly, truly believe that those 7200 lanterns can not create a beam as strong as Desak+The destroyer.

And I didn't realize they were DBZ'ing their power into one blast to blast at King Thor channeling all his power into one blast. Whoever focuses harder wins.

Q99 and Jake.

We saw how poorly the heralds fared against Odin. They were all one-shotted, and unable to inflict any lasting damage. Thor has shown that he can stop Surtur when using the Odinforce and hardly any practice. It's not unreasonable to assume that he would reach Odin's level after 300-400 years, considering that he once trumped Surtur. KT's opponents are running on a set charge here and the Odinforce is limitless.

It is true that basics will win them the match here. A basic shield/teleport block and they've got him right where they want him. But this still won't help if he moves his hand to the side and stops time. It doesn't matter if they can manipulate time, since this is an ability which requires them to be able to move and think freely. Being able to travel through time does not make one immune to being frozen in time.

Right. Let's not use feats for the Lantern side because one time the pooled powers of _________ did something against _________.

Just saying, it adds up differently in DC.

It's not like Batgirl/Green Arrow were fighting an uber durable guy though either...
