And Optimus Prime with a GL ring would likely be Trans. tier. It's all about situation. Like I said, potential goes to the ring. Average goes to Mjolnir.

Mjolnir based on feats.
If we take any one GL, I'd agree. But if you combine all of the versatility feats of, say, Hal, Kyle, and the others, I think they collectively trump Mjolnir. Heck, even Alan's feats might count (versatility feats only, not power)...the power source is different but the application is the same. Any versatility feats he possesses would presumably be applicable to the ring.
Top-end power feats, it's a bit of a wash. Mjolnir has a much higher floor but the ceiling is roughly the same.
All I know is, if I got a ring, I'd go back and look up every feat from every GL. It would at least equal Mjolnir.

The problem with Kyle's feats is that for the most part, he was amped by Ion. If you take them out he doesn't have so many feats.
Nope.
The Ion empowerment lasted some time after Oblivion merged with Kyle - up until he liberated himself from the Ion power. Which is roughly one year.

How does mjolnir trump power rings in versatility?I'm fine with mjolnir having more raw power, but more versatility?
A weapon whose only limit is the imagination of its wielder?
