Superman vs Sinestro: 3 Rounds

Having more than one ring makes you more powerful. There's ample evidence of that. Just none that suggests that two rings makes you twice as powerful.

If this is current versions, as the pictures suggest, Sinestro takes all three. And he'd take all three without needing an extra ring or an unlimited charge. He's more powerful than he's ever been, including his pre-DCnU history. And current Superman, frankly, is not.

There's ample evidence that having multiples of the same spectrum makes you more powerful.

There isn't if you have multiple spectrums. Presumably it's more complicated, since you'd have to be channeling two emotions at the same time to use two different rings. Now, if anyone is capable of using two rings to their maximum effectiveness, I'm sure it'd be Sinestro.

I agree that channeling two different emotions presents a serious obstacle to using either emotion to its fullest potential. But I can't think of a single instance where having more than one ring (different colors) ended up compromising a Lantern's fighting capacity such that he was less dangerous than he was before while wielding a single ring.

Do you have an example in mind?

When Hal had an added red ring, he was more powerful than when he just had his green ring. When Hal had an added blue ring, he was more powerful than when he just had his green ring. When Guy had a added red ring, he was more powerful than when he just had his green ring.

Don't remember Hal having a red ring, blue rings already supercharge green so that's not a valid example, and Guy's just boss/fighting an enemy with a specific weakness to multiple spectrum colors.

I'm just looking for specific, non-circumstantial powerups

And they're there. While there aren't any examples posted so far proving (or even suggesting) that different color combinations cripple a Lantern's effectiveness below that of a single ring-wielder.

Whatever the case may be, for this thread Sinestro has the ability to effectively use both rings without one hampering the other.

Sinestro wins this in every way.

No he doesn't. Sinestro wouldn't just beat superman, he'd kill him.

Maybe in his wet dreams. In reality, it would go like lobo vs sinestro except superman wouldn't hold back.

Lobo isn't vulnerable to Kryptonite.

Sinestro can't create kryptonite. Why do GL and Surfer fans resort to kryptonite in every thread?

We disagree about whether GLs can or can't (btw, they can), not all GL fans resort to it.

I honestly think a GL, and especially Sinestro or Hal, can beat Superman via constructs, exotic powers, etc.

This.

Can Sinestro beat him? Sure.

Would he, for a majority? Not imo.

Entire post crisis history would disagree.

Except it doesn't.

Superman wins.
