And yeah, the star feat occurred when he was Ion. Here's that:

I guess he technically didn't 'reignite' the star. He transformed it from a red star to a yellow star. Pretty cool feat, but he sacrificed himself to do it.

Well, Yat looked physically damaged after the explosion, so his auto-shields definitely didn't hold up. Here's the feat:

For context, that explosion was originally designed to destroy Mogo.

I must have forgotten that, thanks.

huh Where's that one though? Is a cool feat, but at the same time doesn't make him look that great, to me.

That's because he wasn't great. 😛

It's too bad, because Yat had SO much potential to be an epic character. I mean, a GL with the physical power of Superman? C'mon, how could you possibly go wrong with that combo? But somehow DC screwed him up royally, and when he fizzled out, he fizzled out hard.

Norma Jean style...

Hell, Superboy almost KO'd himself just by simply running into Val.

2) Find out the most powerful and recent American* (Iron curtain) Hydrogen bomb test to that and times it's energy output by a factor of 1,000

(Probably Castle Bravo due to the era and infamy of the test since it irradiated Japanese fisherrmen, however a lot of this stuff classified)

3) You know Superboy's "full force" attack strength.

Towing planets is one thing but in terms of using his actual battle potential you have to have something more applicable

I don't recall mentioning anything about planet-towing... 😕

Not you but it's been thrown around for decades

Well its (the scan) pretty prominent throughout the thread.

😆

But really, I would think, even though he's using it to alter the Sun, that the Ion power would've protected him long enough to survive it turning into yellow. He took off his Power Ring. Did it have to do with the lead in his system from his fight with SBP? I dunno if it was ever removed. What comic was that from?

Yeah he did. Too bad.

It's been the same cropped scan floating around here since I can remember

Thanks!! Now we can stop with the off-topic stuff. 😄

It was an interesting segue.

Meh, a Guardian's most powerful attack was once likened to that of "a dozen hurricanes" or somesuch. Point: text-box narration cannot always be taken at face value--especially when displayed feats eclipse the narration in question.

Agreed. 👆

He actually destroyed Ranx which was a planet sized machine and tanked the black hole at the heart of it. You can see green energy destroying the machine.

It's an energy projection and durability feat.

He didn't sacrifice himself. He was alive when Krona extracted Ion from him. And why is this feat dissed so much? How many characters can turn a red star in a yellow star?

Yeah, I should have been more specific(and now I understand what Delta was asking above.) The star transmutation feat didn't kill Yat--he sacrificed himself in the sense that he had to remain within the star for it to stay yellow. If he ever separated from the star, it would become red again.

That said, Yat was removed from the star when Krona pulled the Ion entity from him. 👆

Definitely better if he didn't die, but still seems low to me that he had to STAY in the star to keep it yellow. I dunno, I guess I expect more from what's supposed to be a significantly amped GL.

A refresher on Validus...

Silver Age Superboy states that Validus is "a DOZEN" times more powerful than himself:

Validus demonstrates this superiority by stomping Superboy(literally):

Hell, Superboy almost KO'd himself just by simply running into Val.

Here he restrains/overpowers Silver Age Mon-El with two fingers:

Val also possessed energy attacks(ie. mental lightning) so potent that, even in a drastically weakened state, he was able to fend off a portion of a Sun-Eater:

And back then, Sun-Eaters were powerful enough to destroy entire galaxies. In fact, the one Val forced to retreat had destroyed entire galaxies:
