Remember, you still have your OWN physique/willpower/natural skills and you are required to learn the intricacies of the artifact on your own w/ no training from any mentor/teacher (so you need to be careful not to blow up the planet/yourself in the process). Tho assume that the items can repair themselves when damaged so you don't need to ever repair/fix/maintain them.1) The Quantum Bands
2) A Green Lantern Power Ring
3) The Cosmic Control Rod
4) The Ruby of Cyttorack
5) Thunderstrike
6) Current Iron Man's suit
1. Those without the mental fortitude can be consumed by the quantum bands... Ie. You die. It's definitely very powerful but there is no failsafe...
2. The ring has a central intelligence where you can ask the ring questions and it will actually answer them for you. You accidentally mutter out loud you wish you knew how the run works... Voila.. It evokes wikipedia. Easiest to master if you look at it that way...
3. I'm not sure anyone short of annihilus would be able o use the rod.
4. Easiest to understand.. However step out of line and your power levels increase and decrease dramatically at the whim of your boss... Yeah...
5. Thunderstrike... Eric masterful took years to figure out how to fully use his hammer heck there were abilities he didn't learn unil much into his role as thunderstrike and he was previously a Thor!
6. Current iron mans suit has lots of failsafes... It autopilot much of it for you so really just think what you want and it will do it... The current suit is tony's ultimate no brainer suit... It may be even easier to use then the gl ring... Since it's all on mental command... (assuming you don't require Tony passwords then you'll never get it to work..)
In comics: I'll take the Quantum Bands. Immunity to telepathy (tons of telepaths in the MU/DCU), same level of versatility as a GL Ring. NOT dependent on willpower (more on knowledge/skill of the user w/c can be gained thru practice). The ability to drain energy from energy users is also a good bonus.
In real life: Thunderstrike. It allows you a certain level of immortality as long as you're in the TS body. Weather control allows you to save the world from global warming and to end world hunger.
Originally posted by Omega Visionhis interpretations of feats are imaginative. I think Quan would make a great GL. His complete refusal to concede in the face of overhelming proof of the impossible would be an incredible asset.
Stubbornness and will power aren't the same.In any case you lack the imagination that makes for a good GL.
