Hal was creating a multiverse with one hand and fighting Spectre and the heros with the other hand while trying not to harm them, but talk to them.
All the while Captain Atom who at the time was essentially limitless, was absorbing his power with a few other guys.
Even after taking serious shots from Hal, that Spectre got up and still possessed enough power to turn Damage into the Big Bang.
Hal basically lost because he allowed himself to, because he didnt want to harm his friends.
But that's well above the Gauntlet.
