Magneto vs. Kilowog

Doubt this has been done before

populated industrial area

Mags in his prime

What stops Mags from simply ripping the ring of a GL's finger?

Demagnetising.

Cool 👆

Is that an automatic feat or one that requires concentration?

The Lantern has to tell the ring to do it, but he can do it even if it's not on his finger.

Well if it's not on his finger he is screwed isn't he?
But if he commands the ring to avoid magnetisation at the very beginning of the battle then he is sweet.

how? even if magneto takes the ring off of his finger, all the lantern has to say is "ring, demagnetise and return" and unless magneto can somehow stop it, he'll get it back.

i'm sure mags could put up a forcefield, but rings are pretty determined when they want to be, and can use abilities that the lantern could use.

Because if the ring is off his finger and then has to will the ring to de-magnetise then will it to return. Mags would've already pumped a random piece of metal through Kilowog's skull. Or made his concentration worthless by manipulating the iron in the blood in his brain.

whats Kilos durability without the ring? if magneto is able to take the ring off him, couldnt he just kill him before it returns?

Regardless in this fight the ring is already on his finger. De-magnetising it will require a thought giving Mags an opening of attack. But after that it's on.

the rings are programmed to return to their wearer when the wearer tells them too. even from some reasonably large distances. it's more to do with the ring's charge than any willpower.

say, if the ring has 90% power, it won't require any actual willpower to get it back, usually.

gl shields (assuming the ring is still on his finger) can protect against iron in the blood attacks and so forth.

that, and kilowog would have access to all the information about hal jordan's battles with doctor polaris, who for a time was a lantern villain.

and all that is assuming that magneto can even take the ring off of him in the first place, which for me isn't so cut and dry.

while i can certainly see avenues for magneto winning, i think kilowog has a fair shot too.

Thanks Pr.

I guess it's all up to battle feats now.

i would give any top tier GL a wins against Mag..so Kilowog FTW..

any proof the GL ring is metal?

Pulling the ring off the finger does jack shit.

IIRC, John had to send his ring light years away just so he could shoot himself without it automatically protecting him. The rings autoshield even when not on the wearer.

anyway kilowog FTW

Don't ask people to prove a negative.

Anyway, the rings before Johns had a few instances of being metal, though I don't know if it's been retconned. F*cker retconned pretty much everything else...

so since john came along I guess the gaurdians have decided to order the platic version of the rings for the GLs, no ?

No idea. He redesigned the entire power of the corps. Wouldn't be surprised if he changed the ring too.
