Blue Marvel for a solid majority.

That strong of an opinion for BM eh?

With John's longer breadth of feats due to his respectable length of history, (and I'd argue his highs are much better too), I would give him the majority.

I disagree, obviously, though not enough to argue it, but if i did, like abhi pointed out, i'd win. 😉

Blue Marvel has the luxury of fewer and more consistent appearances.

John Stewart has higher highs and lower lows, though he always struck me as one of the more consistent GLs.

Tough call.

Stewart should have an absurd advantage in experience. He might take it based on that.

Blue Marvel has been active since the 60s, hasn't he? So he's got edge in terms of experience.

But I still want to say that GL would win this.

I agree, as its part of the character's backstory, and not a retcon, but you'll always get the posters who dismiss anything thats not on panel.

Doesnt change my choosing BM in this battle, though.

Active? No

leonidas MWHAHAHAHA!

i'd take marvel. be interesting to see how john dealt with the anti-matter energy. if we assume bm's antimatter is the same as the dc version of antimatter, that probably wouldn't be good for john. antimatter tends to trump a lot of things in dc. oddly enough, i can't recall off-hand how a gl has fared against antimatter though. maybe someone has a scan to help out?

Unless anything has been changed, Blue Marvel's entire backstory was when his costume was damaged and everybody found out he was black, when the civil rights movement was going on, both sides hated him, so he retired.

Not sure if it's canon for current John, but his Power Ring protected him and J'onn from anti-matter during COSMIC ODYSSEY. Dunno of other times him, or even any GL, have handled it.

Marvel antimatter isn't like DC antimatter.

From what we've seen of BM and Thor it's powerful, but DC's antimatter is unstoppable. A whole nother magnitude of dangerous.

Not to say that BM's antimatter couldn't hurt Stewart.

The GL shield that Stewart placed around J'onn shattered almost immediately after the blast commenced. J'onn tanked the bulk of the explosion unaided... And Stewart survived via auto-shields. That said, I just don't think Starlin had a grasp on what anti-matter is within DC cosmology when he wrote that story. It can(and has) destroyed things FAR beyond J'onn and Stewart.

Anyway, we saw how Lanterns and Guardians coped with anti-matter during SCW.
