You could very well be right. To be honest, when I said what I did about Thor having trouble against Firelord, I had completely forgotten this arc...probably because Romata Jr's art was shit, and so was Jurgens writing of Thanos. Though I agree, the Thor/Thanosi fight was awesome.Still think he'd probably drop at least one to Mongul with the rings. I know Mjolnir absorbs energy, but the rings grant pretty solid control over their own energy, too. I can agree that he gets past Firelord without dropping one, though.
Well, it seemed like it to me personally.
I don't think so personally. They do have some impressive energy control, but seeing how easily the Manhunters can do it, and based on Thor's own energy draining and manipulation abilities, I'm inclined to think, that it would be easy for Thor to accomplish energy drain. Lantern's are of course not as powerful under Johns.
And if Thor knows, he cannot lose even one, then Mongul is in BIG trouble. At the end of the day, without the rings, his the guy who was beaten by Krypto to me. Liked Senior a lot better myself.
Mongul with the rings' best showing is against Rayner and the other Lanterns. Which of course again falls under the Ninja Law rule being discussed in another thread. That's why, when Ion while being cut off from the Ion power and was only limited to his Green Lantern ring stalemated him just fine, while it took three more Lanterns to accomplish that in the past. Plus the new villain smell was still in play at the time.
As well, isn't one of the things revealed about the rings that, more doesn't necessarily equal superiority?
