Green Lanterns vs This Team

Your certitude is curious. Especially considering Dr. Polaris made Kyle punch his own face with his ring with his magnetism.

From the Book of Oa: To forge a power ring is a feat most arduous, even for a Guardian. Massive, potentially lethal levels of willpower must be sustained throughout the process. For will is the ore from which a ring and battery are crafted.

Which apparently takes on a metallic quality considering Dr. Polaris used magnetism to seize the ring and made Kyle punch himself repeatedly with it.

I don't recall this specifically, but I'd bet anything it happened before Rebirth, after which everything changed as far as Green Lanterns go.

Light is effected by the electromagnetic spectrum right?

While it's not your fault, I'm not surprised that this two-faced attitude on KMC concerning Green Lanterns rears its head again though. How "convenient" that the only time we actually see magnetism being used on the ring, it somehow doesn't count.

Or is "arbitrary" the better word for it? mhmm

Everything changed? When we're supposed to be convinced that nothing really changed for GLs even after Crisis on Infinite Earths per forum rules? I know what has changed explicitly on-panel. And GL rings being metallic enough for Dr. Polaris to manipulate isn't one of those things.

Don't be ridiculous. When Johns took over he retconned all kinds of stuff. That scan, for example, is a retcon. Rings may have been metal before, but Johns changed them to be willpower.

And after you're done doing that, then you can realize how fruitless such an endeavor would be considering

Spoiler:
Ganthet forged Kyle's GL ring from pure willpower in the palm of his hand too in pre-Rebirth and it was affected by Dr. Polaris' magnetism anyway

So, when was it actually stated that the rings are metal?

If he was able to cause the Lantern to hit himself was else could it have been?

This is where it gets kind of icky. Johns retconned the composition of the rings, but that doesn't negate what Polaris did during the arc with Kyle.

If these are DCNU versions, though, then it doesn't matter, as only what Johns wrote has been carried over, so is all that counts.

Can the ring prevent Magneto affecting a GL's brain or blood?

They can channel it but magneto hos complete control over it

I'm not saying he can negate magnetos power absolutely... Just enough to keep mags from disarming him.

The shields can block psionic signals, yes.

Then the only effective attack Magneto has is to throw shit at them?

So you're saying the GL rings weren't similarly forged from willpower in Oan furnaces before that issue? By all means, show me a scan from pre-Rebirth showing that.

.

Not sure why you need to put spoiler tags on something that happened ages ago, but whatever.

Ganthet didn't forge Kyle's ring in his hand from nothing, he reassembled Hal's old ring that he discarded and stepped on immediately before he entered the central battery and became Parallax. Ganthet just picked up the pieces and remade the ring from it.

And get out of here with these ridiculous retcon rules you're making up. You're being argumentative for the purpose of being argumentative. If Johns says rings are made of willpower, then they're made of willpower. They may not have been then, but they are now.

pretty much.

Anything in the battlefield? Earth's core perhaps?

Some heavy duty iron ore ??
