If a character has good feats, they aren't "no-names" anymore.

I know. It was a rhetorical point.

These "Spacial Cops" were facing down galactic class threats while the Kryptonians were little more than conversation pieces in Superman's curio cabinet.

Lanterns may have more experience facing super powered threats, but kryptonians have formal military training as well, and the numbers on their side.

Several of the militia members in Montana and Idaho have military training as well, doesn't mean they're good enough to take on Seal Team Six. Krypton wasn't a major military power before or at the time of it's destruction.
On a side note, I'm not sure if it's canon or not, but if you get the chance you should read the Novel "The Last Days of Krypton", by Kevin Anderson. A very good read that covers the loss of Kandor, the creation of the Phantom Zone, and the events leading up to the destruction of Krypton, as well as an interesting insight into the political structure of the Kryptonians. It's not a comic or graphic novel, but fascinating none the less.

And lanterns's majority are not near the level of principal lanterns, no matter what experimented with the ring they are, though they have an amp. i get your point, but this is not a easily fight for neither of them.

thanks for the recommendation bro, i'll read it, the premise sounds interesting, i love read history books even if it's fiction! 😄, have you read something about mass effect?

I agree that it's not gonna be easy, I just think that the Lanterns experience will be the deciding factor.
I've played Mass Effect once, but never read any of the books.

Unlikely that a highly trained force faced with with an opponent significantly out numbers and out guns them, wouldn't choose a tactic that would neutralize those advantages? Interesting theory. You wouldn't happen to be a member of the French military, would you?

Yup. GLC is filled with morons. Remember Emerald Twilight?

A dozen kryptonian gangraped doomsday. That should give you an example how powerful they are.

Doomsday isn't that formidable past his first few arcs.

GLC wins.

These aren't your average Lanterns, they are three of the greatest Green Lanterns in the history of the Corps and 195 seasoned veterans, and Atrocitus. The strategy I posed is a very basic bottleneck strategy military forces have been utilizing for thousands of years, nothing overly complex. 198 amped Lanterns, combined with Atrocitus's red ring and magical abilities should be enough to eek out a win here.

Pretty sure that was a weaker Doomsday clone and not the actual D-man himself.

Right, it's a 300 type scenario.

Emerald twilight had Hal kill most of the corps single handedly because they were too stupid.

He was still more than superman could handle on his own.

He fought the lost lanterns, kilowag, and Sinestro before becoming Parallax. And he didn't fight them at the same time. Most were 1v1. Plus he was getting stronger after each fight because he kept taking the fallen lanterns rings.

That's why I said they were stupid. Also he didn't just fight lost lanterns, they were the only ones left alive.

Well right, but he didn't technically kill anyone until after he became Parallax if memory serves me correct though.

Also, ty for the kryptonian feat. Curious, which version of DD was it?

Fighting several Lanterns one on one isn't the same as fighting several dozen amped Lanterns at a time. Emerald Eclipse was just one arc. Sinestro Corps War, and War of the Green Lanterns were much better.

Exactly.

Exactly, not mention, getting beaten by Hal is a low showing by no means.

He beat them and took their rings. In essence he killed them.

Doomsday Rex.

Yeah, look at War of Green Lanterns at how effective GLC is. Heck in future superman alone was stalemating GLC for 50 years.
