green lanterns are capable of shutting off metahuman genes? when did this happen

I don't know that specific example off hand, but GL's have been known to do transmutation. Hal once turned someone into a bird and in Pre-crisis era, he turned his entire team of JLA into pure energy, among other crazy stuff.

yea but thats pre-crisis stuff........which shouldnt be used
Originally posted by TricksterPriestcolor me skeptical. when have they ever used that in battle? and why does no one bring that up against SM huh? his powers are derived from kryptonian DNA structure just the same. what indication is there that oan energy of any sort would automatically bypass magneto's shields ?

I'm not sure why the auto-shields from light years away feat didn't end the magnetizing argument on page 1. Anyone?

As a point of clarification, pre-crisis feats are not non-canon across the board. It's very character-specific, as many were actually unaffected by the crisis and their feats remain valid. I had to do some digging on this one time for a tourney, and found DC's comments to this affect on various characters. The Corps in particular was not affected, so PC feats are valid. I'm not sure if that extends to the few Lanterns who were present for the crisis though, but I don't believe 'wog was among them.
At one point I was going to have an entry in the "Mythbuster" thread about this, but never got around to formalizing my research. And now it's years old and scattered so it'll likely never happen.

Thank you. I got into an argument with somebody about this a little while back, who was claiming all pre-crisis feats were non-canon or not allowed. 🙄
My arguments were it depended on the character.

It very much does. Actual DC press releases exist to back you on this, as well as some common sense involving unaffected characters from reading the original crisis.
Or just bring up, say, Donna Troy and send your opponent's head reeling with continuity insanity. Characters where they couldn't quite tie up all the continuity threads pretty much single-handedly discount absolute arguments about discounting PC feats.
Unfortunately for Kilowog is fighting Mag's in his prime. In his prime he has manipulated the Electromagnetic Spectrum and anything to do with it. I'm sure there is a magneto fan out there that can list the ways he manipulated light (create dense light, bend lasers, turn freaking invisible, etc). As you can see as a lantern a weilder of light constructs they would be wtf owned.
Add that with his impressive displays of magnetism (i really don't think pulling a small ring from kilo's finger is going to be as had as lifting land masses or creating complicated machinery with his powers of magnetism.
Also it really doesn't have to be solely metal for magneto to bend it to his will it just takes more concentration. Anyway Magneto in his prime should beat Kilowog. If it was current or just average magneto then yeah good herald level GL should beat magneto.
