Superman vs Alan Scott

vs

CIS is off for both characters. They both want to kill each other. Superman will use his powers intelligently, and will use his speed (etc.) to it's utmost advantage.

Alan

Superman.

Alan.

Alan's shields aren't automatic though are they? Wouldn't Superman kill him before he could react?

He's literally made of Starheart energy in pre-DCnU. If he wills it, he would be a lot harder to take down than a baseline human.

Didn't Johns retcon that though?

He uses a ring now, where he didn't before.

In any event, being made of Starheart energy doesn't make him immune to punishment. He's been hurt, lots of times.

That just dealt with how he channeled his power. He remained far younger than he had any right to be, essentially willing himself to look differently. After the big switch from power inside himself to the ring, they also started merging the two late in the JSA's run, calling him "Green Lantern, Sentinel of the Starheart" essentially merging his two titles. We never got a full description of what changed between the two versions or if it even constituted a downgrade. General forum consensus was that it did, but I never saw anything to back that up. And I also seem to remember it being referenced that he was made of Starheart energy after the switch to a ring.

I'm waiting for someone to say Superman beats Alan's head in with a 2-by-4 (before anyone replies....that's a joke).

Original Green >> Big Blue (even if he has a 2by4)

Alan taps dat ass. 😮‍💨

Alan

The ring is just for symbolism. The energy Alan wields is all internal; he only crafted himself a power ring due to him rechristening himself Green Lantern again after ditching the Sentinel moniker.

If this is all out, I'll go for Superman.

Superman was the one who put up the best fight vs Parallax back in the 90's before Zero hour

but I have to say is pretty close IMO and no problem seeing Alan Scott winning too

I wonder why this two have not faced each other, does any one knows if they have faced ever?

Probably because of the 'he's a top-level GL, only magic,' factor, which makes him a rather bad matchup for Superman.

alan all day. the feats he accomplished before the relaunch are above supermans.
