I'm amazed at the amount of disrespect the Q-bands are getting in this thread.
If the ring's energy is within the EM Spectrum, it's Quasar's to own. He was draining the Surfer without the Surfer knowing he was even doing it. He's handled an enraged Watcher one on one and manipulated his energy blasts and shut down his energy form at will.
IMHO the Q-bands >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any Lantern ring in terms of EM Spectrum energy manipulation.

And then, Surfer owned Quasar.
The fact is that rings and Q-bands have both similar powers. Sinestro might even have the edge in the versatility department. And he's powerful as hell.

You realize he threw that fight right?
The Q-bands have NEVER (to my knowledge) been outdone or overwhelmed by any EMS based energy attack.............EVER. Those bands would sh|t all over any Lantern ring.
Q has had showings that were well beyond Herald level. This is just a fact. And, a lot of time, these showings were well written. Meaning that it actually made sense, as opposed to a lot of writing today, where a character suddenly and simply has the power and ability to overcome whatever they are fighting without any explanation. Just because they are really upset, or now they are REALLY trying, etc. Hehe.
Q's powers have a LOT of potential.
Then again, I am a big Sinestro fan. As a matter of fact, I am a big fan of most characters that have been written to show a lot of strategic thinking, planning and creativity. Example- Doctor Doom, Loki, old Hal Jordan, old Thanos, etc.
I think Sinestro would possibly figure out a way to beat Q. But, power to power, Q would take it.
Despite Quasar water downed somewhat, compared to his more classic showings. One of his most overlooked feats in recent times is; Forcibly draining energy from the Annihilators + Nova to power his construct.
That is insane, and it goes to show that his control over energy is not just narrowed down to the EM spectrum.

Yup someone pointed that out. But you have to keep in mind it goes against his established power set (unless it's been retconned). In his own series it was stated and shown on panel that he had no control over any energy not in the EM Spectrum (psionics, magic, dark force, kinetic energy, weak force manipulation used against him, etc...).
That's why I said if the Ring's energies are not in the EM Spectrum, Quasar dies badly. But if they are, Sinestro has no chance in hell vs Quasar.
Well thats the problem.
Quasar is a bigger monster in terms of energy manipulation, and holds greater feats.
While Sinestro character is build for these type of forum encounters, and has a history of showings to prove he can give Quasar a fight.
It really comes down if you bite into Quasar manipulating Fear/Willpower energy. If so that gives Elvis a firm advantage over Sinestro. If not, its a hard fought match that could go either way.
