Ah, never mind. I misread what you were trying to say. You were talking about cutting them off from their power source. I thought you were saying that Black Lanterns were more powerful than 'regular' Lanterns.
It's all pointless anyways. Lanterns aren't drawing their power from the central battery continuously, they just charge their rings once in a while.
For Black Lanterns, that charge is not shown (obviously). The only thing that is shown is their power increasing every time they make a high-emotion kill. It's more likely that that energy is powering their ring and then also the central battery itself.
But regardless of how exactly it works, the central batter definitely doesn't continuously feed the rings power, so cutting it off would, at best, only prevent the ring from being recharged if it ran out of energy, which it won't here. (Like that run on sentence?)

Some of it is, yes. But the part where rings aren't fed power continuously from the central battery isn't. There's nothing for Thor to cut off. Rings hold their own charge.
Originally posted by abhilegendYes, you did. Thor cutting someone off from their power source doesn't mean he can only do so if the character has a magical source of might unless you prove it.
No, I didn't.Why would I need to prove a negative anyway?

So, assuming Black Lantern rings require recharging (which is a pretty big assumption. Do you really think Black Lanterns are going around saying a stupid oath to recharge every day?), and assuming they require recharging at about the same rate as a Green Lantern (24ish hours), do you really think Thor is going to stalemate him that long and then cut Kal off from recharging (again, if it's like a GL that would take seconds. Thor would have to think and act very quickly)
The whole notion is absurd to the highest degree.
Originally posted by CogitoI never even argued Thor would do so but the whole notion their charge is infinite and cannot be severed is absurd.

Yes, quanchi. You ARE asking abhil to prove a negative. Thor cut Juggy off from his power source by negating all MYSTICAL energy in their vicinity. This was explicitly stated:
In truth, all Thor did was shut down Juggy's FF for a few seconds.
Anyway, unless you can show PROOF that Thor can negate non-mystical energies (more specifically, the Anti-Matter/Death energies that comprise the BLC), then him negating Kal's energy in this battle isn't even plausible.
