Originally posted by JayDaDonSupes probably the greater inspiration but its more on character achievements and Cap simply cant compete their because of his human limitations. In fact I find superman all the more inspiring considering the fact that in his story lines he could make himself god of mankind, make himself to be that superior man who strongarms humanity into being better but doesn't. He hears the whole of human suffering and the whole of human good. Granted he filters it out but he does experience it. Knowing the depths of human depravity must be so incredibly depressing its amazing that he doesn't throw up his arms and take over. He trusts mankind to be better than that and does right by humans by letting them make their own mistakes.
Honestly, I have to put cap on the same level because 1. He's takes that same honored position in Marvel that Supes does in DC. And 2. He's not nearly as powerful as Superman. He's (for the most part)in alot more danger staring death in the face. And he'll still do it everytime. Compared to the guys he inspires, he's just a human. Superman may inspire gods too, but c'mon, Steve is a human being inspiring gods. That (in my book) counts for so much more. I know everyone won't feel the same though 😛@Squall, Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how the sig turned out.
Not to take anything away from Steve at all mind you. Thor looks up to him and Odin looks at him as the son he always wanted and wishes Thor would take a page out of Steves book or Steve would just out and out take Thor's place.
I know it's not a green lantern ring. But in Bru's run he had to use the Nova force Steve practically mastered it on the first try. Iirc Nova force fans cried foul as that should have taken many months as other users but Steve is that good at adapting or using something new.
Steve did the same during avengers volume 3 Kang arch. I wouldn't be surprised if Steve inspired Supes himself to be honest.

That also wouldn't be the first example of Steve mastering something rather quickly
Avengers#53(468)
Marcus: Initial analysis indicates that they are using the inchoate energies within the pyramid to duplicate our simulacrum-projection technology, though how skilled can they---
Kang: Enough, do not underestimate them. Captain America is an astounding warrior-- he has never fought under these conditions before--but already he adapts- mastering the form more completely than many who’ve trained for decades, it is what makes him such a worthy foe
The only times I've read Superman using a GL ring, were in an Elseworlds, where he overpowers Guy Gardners will and reassembles the ring around his own finger (The fact he overpowered Gardners will proves this is a non canon story!), and a story in Superman where a giant alien abducts Hal with the help of Dreadnaut and Psi Phon. Superman doesn't actually wear the ring, but he helps Guy and Hal charge up the aliens ship, claiming he's not used to this willpower stuff (Implying this wasn't an easy task for him.)
Another thing, how easy the ring is to use is variable, and doesn't seem entirely based on will power.. Oliver Queen has will enough to step out of a hospital bed, on shaky feet, and fight for the life of his son against Onomatopoeia. His willpower is evident from his deeds. Yet, he can barely create a ring construct?
Yet a guy like Jack T. Chance can contend with Lobo. I like Jack and all, but there's not much reason to believe his willpower is > Oliver Queens, except for the fact he can use a ring easier..
