Didn't Byrne make it clear on Twitter that these books were written as if they were canon? Keep in mind that Classic Parallax is arguably the most powerful Green Lantern of all time, and many orders of magnitude beyond Hal's conventional power levels. If the Silver Surfer can metabolize Classic Parallax's power then Green Lantern Hal Jordan wouldn't even be a threat to the Silver Surfer.
That said, the Silver Surfer's feats in canon are far beyond that of Hal Jordan's. Both in terms of raw power and versatility.

Good, Hal drains Surfer.

Not only do Green Lanterns operate on a lower scale and scope of power than the Silver Surfer. But the Silver Surfer can more or less do anything, telepathy, telekiniesis, matter transmutation, energy absorption, phase through matter, bend space, time travel, you name it. He's not limited to light constructs and a misleading slogan of only being limited to his imagination. Keep in mind that Quasar's light constructs meant to contain the Silver Surfer were proven about as effective as rice paper.

And if all that wasn't enough, Hal is on a timer. Even if we make the most generous assumptions and pretend that the Silver Surfer will job throughout the fight Hal's ring will run out of energy. The Silver Surfer generates his own energies.
Am I going to debate you, Abhi? No, because you frequently lie about the scans you post and refuse to source them, and I have neither the time or care to do the detective work required to dismantle your bullshit for you just to deny what's actually being explained in the comic.

We're not talking about Quasar here.

Literally who cares? Quasar isn't even rookie GL level and his shields weren't able to take ten times gravity of the Earth two issues ago.

It has more than enough energy to literally oneshot surfer.

Hahaha, you've literally posted non canon scans trying to use it for Phoenix and I'm the one lying? Irony just committed suicide.
Abhi, he didn't break through the shield, he simply reduced his density to become intangible. In terms of toughness the Surfer gets the nod. GLs wouldn't likely be able to pull themselves together after being directed by cosmic lasers.
Neither of these guys translate into an identical copy, so it's pointless trying to compare them.
The Surfer has his strengths and Ring wielders have theirs. In the DCU the Surfer wouldn't be a lightweight in any way shape or form. Could He defeat Hal? Of course. Those shields are meaningless to a guy that can pass right through them.
Speed? He's fast even for DCU standards. Could Hal beat the Surfer? Sure, just not for a majority.

Glad to see someone here with their head on straight.
Remember when Richard Rider with the ENTIRE Nova Corpse powers fought Norrin? Remember how that went for him?
Even Hal would face the same. It would be a worse beating than Zod gave to him, as Surfer's physical stats are far above even elite Kryptonians, and his energy powers are insanely OP.

Jack T Chance literally reassembled himself after getting cut into pieces by Lobo if you are talking about some random feat for Surfer. Kyle literally held souls of entire Justice League in Obsidian age even after getting killed. Hal resurrected himself after getting killed and turning into a black Lantern.
There's literally no feat Surfer has which Lanterns haven't done.

We go by feats, not your random thoughts.

Surfer is slow as shit compared to pretty much any speedster.
Hal literally oneshots him at this point, he's on a different level for years.

No idea how someone can see the Saiyan Saga in Dragon Ball, determine Goku beats Superman, yet downplays Norrin
You realize Surfer can create stars, snuff out planets with a fraction of his power, tank attacks from cosmic level Uni-Lord, those two guys who took down Galactus in Annihilation, evolves planets ect ect..
Norrin would eat Super Perfect Cell for lunch, let alone Zod.

Surfer isn't even on pre-pubescent Kryptonians level. A black hole almost ripped him apart just recently, even 12 years old Jon Kent can tank black holes just fine.
