Match the feats!

Ok it seems people are arguing without knowing the context. This happened in this week's GLC

Those green insect-y looking things were completely unaffected by Hal's attacks (later learned they are constructs of Krona's original gauntlet). Hal, being an idiot, figured "MOAR POWA" was needed, so he baited them into following him into the full force of Mogo's blast amped by hundredS of Green and Yellow lanterns. Hal went face first into the blast along with the critters, using a shield construct to protect himself. Missing from these scans is John's comment that there was no way Hal could survive.

@Celey: I don't know what you want. Using shields to straight up tank energies is not the same thing as absorbing or deflecting. It seems like a very clear cut differentiation to me, so I don't understand the confusion 😕

Did Hal use a construct to shield himself?

That's just Phildo's way of saying Hi.

I understand.
However u pointed out the autoshields in regards to Abhi, to which I said was a given. A gl autoshield shouldn't be considered in the feat for obvious reasons.

But now we're on the same page regarding shields.

Phil is a little shit, i am aware of his perpetual butthurt.

Then i need to educate myself more i suppose on a lanterns powers. I thought everything they did was willpower based, even autoshields. So for lack of a better phrase does size matter?

really?

Everyone except WW.

👍👍. Thx now theres context. Good post and feat

Better late than never 👆

Since he always automatically has some shielding being a GL it gets factored into his normal durability, correct?

it looks like the bug guys can but Hal couldn't.

Btw his perpetual butthurt is self inflicted.

Of course. OP didn't specify no shields.

I was asking the op for clarification because at one point he did tank the blast w/o extra shielding.

He did eventually use a construct to shield himself.

A shield does a lot of what deflecting does....
Ever heard of "deflector shields"?

I don't know what "extra shielding" is supposed to mean.

Standard auto-shields are a construct, albeit one made unconsciously. Yes, Hal made an additional shield-like construct, but that does not mean there wasn't already a shield there to begin with.

Shields simply tank energy. Deflecting, and "deflector shields", divert energy/matter in another direction without taking any of the force.

Here Thor deflects an energy attack, he does not tank it whatsoever.

I gather most of them can do it?? *shrug*
At least Thor, Surfer, and Thanos can eat that type of blast. Also Hal clearly used shielding after he tanked the initial portion of that blast.

Are you telling me Thor, Surfer and Thanos can "eat " blast from hundreds of Lanterns?

And did anyone say Hal took the blast unshielded?

Sad thing is, the shield shattered when it hit the surface of the planet.

Extra shielding as in the construct. I was asking for clarification from op because Hal did tank the blast albeit briefly with just his standard durability(autoshields).

Err... Hal "tanking" the blast with the construct is essentially deflecting the blast away from his body correct? So as to not get hit by said blast...?

Hence the clarification. So basically u are allowing shields?
Are u just going by Hal's initial tanking of the blast with just his autoshields?

Think the disconnect are the words shield and tank

And the two very clear instances where he did tank the blast with just conventional durability(autoshields) and where he clearly used a construct to increase his defenses.

Nobody is comparing anyone's durability with Hal.

Just asking who can tank that without any shields or whatnot.

But if you want you can post someone taking that kind of power with shields too.

What about Supergirl feat?

Took several attacks from Superman without getting koed. Stalemated Diana in strength.

Was only koed by a combined attack from Superman and Diana.
