And as we saw in Final Crisis, it's not just light, it's the entire EM Spectrum.

Hell yeah. His fight with Lobo cemented that fact to me (surviving an anti-matter attack and not even being KOed all because he had that much control over his body, which is composed entirely of energy).And as we saw in Final Crisis, it's not just light, it's the entire EM Spectrum.
The entire EM Spectrum?! Is he more formidable than Dr. Light? (Arthur)

Ray could use the white light, though, couldn't he?

EDIT -
As to being more formidable than Dr. Light? I'm not sure. I don't know how powerful either of the Dr. Lights were.
Originally posted by -Pr-Or something like it. Like Dr. Light did.

Originally posted by zopzopErr, no they didn't. It's why that one BL got pissed off and ranted about how that'd be the last BL he destroyed. Which necessarily presumes that he actually destroyed that one, among others.
They reformed I beleive. He could produce white light but not THE white light. I have that issue but it's been a while.

Ray is boss. 👆 I doubt he could take Deathstrom, though.

In fact that Weird Western Tales was actually a LOW showing for him. He never transformed into his energy/light form at all during the entire issue. So it pissed me off when he was shot by one of the zombies and he was bleeding profusely, that he didn't just transform into his light form. He heals all wounds when he does that and transforms back to his human form, we've seen this on panel (he was paralyzed from the neck down in his human form but instantly healed himself when he went light form then switched back)!
Back to the BL thing, he had his hands full (LITERALLY) containing ONE ring :
And previously he was merely driving them back :
The thing that struck me as odd about the entire issue, aside from Ray's low showing, is that the Zombies were after ONE ring. The Zombies in the raid didn't seem to be wearing Black Lantern Rings and this is kind of proven when one of them is "destroyed" there is no "Connection Severed" message. In fact, there was NO 'connection severed' message in that entire issue, even when he went "Nova" toward the end and wound up burying himself under all that debris along with the rest of the Zombies.
Originally posted by zopzopThat's not odd at all as it isn't the only time that's happened. Off the top of my head, when SBP destroyed the BLs that were hounding him with his inexplicable emotional spectrum burst, there was no "connection severed" message there either.

Either way, the absence of evidence (no "connection severed" msg) isn't evidence of absence (the BLs weren't destroyed). And this absence of evidence definitely should not override the evidence we do have (BL bein pissed off Ray destroyed another BL among others).
