Out of the top 3 GLs, which one has the greatest feats? Both Sinestro and Hal can use old, Pc feats. Please state why. I'll post pics later.

In terms of feats, it's probably Pre-Crisis Hal Jordan ftw.

In terms of how they seem to stack up against one another currently? Sinestro.

Prep-Man
I don't care how Geoff is making Hal into a shmuck and Sinestro knowing everything. Hal has been beating Sinestro for years.

Well, I guess that means the last...7-8 years of comics don't mean anything to you, huh? wink

I can't even remember the last time Hal has cleanly beaten Sinestro one on one.

it seems like Sinestro is a better lantern than Hal..but Hal willpower is greater..

Prep-Man
Hal has more wins over Sinestro than the other way around. And has held his own against Cyborg Superman.

This.

I think Sinestro's more knowledgeable and skilled as a Lantern (Green or Yellow), but Hal, ultimately, can tap into greater levels of willpower.

Prep-Man
Sinestro hasn't accomplished as much as Hal in terms of feats. Hal has greater power and versatility.

Even early on in their mutual careers, way back during the hey day of the Silver Age, Hal had to resort to context and even plot device in order to beat Sinestro. Hell, it was often said that Sinestro's ring was more powerful than Hal's own, but Hal would think outside of the box such as setting counter-vibrational clocks to interfere with their rings or using the environment to beat Sinestro instead of straight up overpowering him...namely because for decades, he couldn't. Yellow impurity and all.

Regardless, for about a couple of years short of a decade, Sinestro and Hal are shown as practically equals through and through with Sinestro exhibiting greater skill and finesse over Hal. Johns has been portraying Sinestro as typically a slight notch above Hal ever since he brought the two of them back.

Be that as it may, in direct confrontations, when was the last time Hal clearly overpowered or out shined Sinestro?

I can't see the last scans (404 Not Found showing up on my screen), but that first scan more or less proves my point.

Hal hasn't dominated Sinestro or showed anything clearly so far beyond him outside of that Krona Killer shot in the past few decades. The way they're both portrayed currently and consistently, I highly doubt we'll see Hal straight up beat down Sinestro anytime soon.

Prep-Man
Hal overpowered Sinestro there. And here is another.

BTW, I never said Hal would NEVER work or struggle against Sinestro, just that he has beaten him many times in the past. Or gotten the best of him.

Hal probably tops out with Krona buster, and he has some very nice feats from when Kyle was main GL.

But head to head, Sinestro usually has a very slight advantage, and Hal usually needs Kyle to support him at least once. Beating the Weaponer is by far Sinestro's best feat to date, considering he was schooling Kyle, Ganthet, John Stewart, and three or four other GL's..

JakeTheBank
Yeah, he's beaten him in the past, a past that has since been rendered muddled and somewhat hazy in terms of what counts as canon and what doesn't since COIE.

Under the current regime, aka Geoff Johns, the gap between Sinestro and Hal isn't that huge if it even exists at all.

Sinestro never did as good against Lobo than Hal has. wink

I agree. I actually think Sinestro is being played up as being the #1 Lantern NOW, but everyone keeps on forgetting Hal's past feats. Hal for most of his career has been one of the most powerful top tiers. Right there with Thor, Supes, and Surfer, IMO. Especially PC, which he would take the cake.

Johns fanboyism for Hal is only overshadowed by his fanboyism for Sinestro.

From the start, before Sinestro War, he forshadowed Sinestro becoming the greatest GL again. In the backup story to the Sinestro War prelude..
