Hal wins, until Vulcan is gets a handle of emotional spectrum.

This isn't a match, Vulcan can literally pull the GL energy out of Hal.

Vulcan got a handle on Warlock Quantum Magic in no time. Hal is a dead man walking.

He didn't get a handle of Black Bolt energy. That and the emotional spectrum is alien to Vulcan.

So no. If it comes down to fly and blast. Hal has him dead to rights.

If Vulcan can get a handle on Hal. Than its lights out for Hal. But that will take time.

DarkSaint85
Considering some of the highs of Hal, where he overrode the control of the Guardians of Oa, it would be a good match.

vansonbee
Vulcan takes it over Hal, but no stomp here/

leonidas
just a bad match i think. this has been done a million times and it usually goes the same way. i'd take vulcan for a heavy majority. hal would need to go ooc and hit him with something truly massive to take vulcan out before he at least gains SOME control over hal's energy. eventually--and soon--he'd have no problem simply draining him ftw.

jrodslam
Hmm its tricky. Yes, Lanterns operate via emotional spectrum, but the energy they project is still light energy none the less. Maybe save for a red lantern i believe is like a plasma(someone correct me if im wrong)? I cant see a way Hal could win. Its all light and energy at the end of the day. What part of the emotional spectrum it comes from may possibly be irrelevant.

Yup. So like i said, emotional spectrum doesnt mean much. Vulcan doesnt need to wield it. He just needs to manipulate it. That he can do.

What about a Red Lanterns Plasma though? Its not light. Hmmm. Anyone know?

Atrocitus created the red battery using blood magic from the Five Inversions, which at times has also been mentioned to be mixed in to the vomit plasma (if not the constructs as well, I don't recall precisely).

Black Bolt didn't use his electron manipulation against Vulcan.

Blue Area Vet
Vulcan manipulates all forms of energy. Like I said, he manipulated Warlocks very powerful Quantum Magic which isn't light.

abhilegend
Yeah, because Warlock is as powerful as Hal or as experienced as him.

GTFO. Amped Havok literally beat the ****ing shit out of him.

You GTFOOH you butt hurt meant muppet, that Warlock would have beat the living hell out of Halle Berry. That's why that version didn't last long. Try reading Annihilation II for a clue. You're an idiot. Also, you scans are loading too slow. If it's the scans of Havok beating Vulcan with a point blank surprise attack right after he absorbed the equivalent of a star, a) you ain't telling me shit, I have the issue and b) that's hardly a low showing. You're lowing balling is filthy. So for all your crying, I proved that Vulcan was able to absorb Quantum Magic with no problem, which isn't light energy. Deal with it.

Vulcan easily drained Warlock.

Vulcan is being underrated here. I usually ride with Hal in most fights, but blasts and constructs are all light/energy. Vulcan and absorb and manipulate. Its like dr.lightx100. I cant say who wins here. If i were to give Hal a majority, its only due to his years of combat. I cant call it though.

Sure you can, take the emotion out of it. It's literally the worse match up possible for Hal, that's not knock on him.

He's not dr.light x 100, because Dr.Light's control is so powerful that it would override Vulcan's.

I believe it's entirely possible for Vulcan to manipulate GL energy, but that doesn't mean that he's capable of overriding Hal's control.

Hal also manipulates said energy, and can manipulate/absorb most kinds of energy.

In addition to that he has a history of a much greater scope of power and one of the most powerful wills in comics.

I agree about Vulcan being almost certainly able to manipulate the green energy, but how well can he do it compared to Hal? The green energy is fueled by willpower - it requires great willpower to wield it properly, and you must also be able to overcome fear to gain the greatest power from it. Hal has a very strong will and is well trained and experienced in the use of the energy. While on the other hand Vulcan was unstable and bit of a tantrum thrower, he didn't strike me as being a guy who was without or on top of his own fears, possibly making him a less effective wielder. This may come down to who can exert the best control.

At first glance this looks like a fight where Vulcan has all the advantage, but I'm not so sure.

Atrocitus in particular has been using blood magic for eons. As you said, it is what he used to fashion the Red Battery:

He can also use it to 'purify' the minds of his Corpsmen, track down other entities from the emotional spectrum, etc.


Blood magic is also what enabled him to preform this laughably haxx resurrection feat:

So yeah, given the RLC's magical foundation, it makes sense that all/most of their powers would be reinforced with magic on *some* level, imo.

Maybe you should read some green Lantern comics before making any comments.

Oh right, you've never read any comic.

Havok had absorbed only a portion of the star's power.

Hal would beat the shit out of Warlock. Magic or no magic, you don't mess with Highball.

Considering Dr. Light's feats, why not? Havok amped on a portion of a star's power made Vulcan his *****. Dr. Light casually defeated and drained all the power from female Dr Light who is directly powered by a star.

Yes, most definitely.

Vulcan might win a matchup due to far higher durability and regeneration, but Dr.Light is better when it comes to manipulating energy.

Light's taken over Cassie's lasso, Superboy's HV and Kyle's constructs.

And, like I said, Hal is more powerful overall.

Hal every time.

Supermex
Vulcan's Abilities

- Vast energy absorption, manipulation, transformation and projection
-'Flight
- Force field projection and manipulation
- Life support and limited regeneration
- Variable energy blasts
- Limited super power replication and repression
- Energy siphon and disruption
- Psionic resistance



According to information from his creator, (Ed Brubaker), Vulcan has a "hidden potential" which allows him to fully generate and have control over the 7 elements (fire, earth, electricity, wind, water, darkness, and light). Due to this supposed/intended ability, it can be argued that Vulcan is a match for other god-like heroes such as Black Bolt , Thor or Silver Surfer according to his creator

leonidas
yeah...none of that matters. he has been able to totally shut down the minds of heroes before, even jean. he should be able to muddle with hal's mind. it's not tp, it's energy manip. he should also be able to handle hal's shields. the energy that fuelled the eldest made him dwarf even gladiator in power, so the power level of the opponent really doesn't matter in that regard. not saying he can manipulate a skyfather, but i don't think hal's being more powerful overall (if he is) would be an issue as the difference wouldn't be that great. if hal's entire power base wasn't dependent on the exact thing vulcan specializes in, i'd say he can take it. but....like i said, i still don't see anyway, other than saying he's hal, that he logically wins this very often....

yeah i've had that discussion many times. i think it was his own power that he used to shut down power. darwin's powers are personal. he seemed to use energy in the brain against the person to shut down powers. i'd need to go back and look again, but i don't think darwin's powers really played much of a role. he also had someone else's but their power never really surfaced either iirc.

vulcan is dumb at times, doesn't mean he would miss the same thing here. he could have done it right away. not sure how it's not a victory though. even though he didn't think of it, it was still him who pulled it off.

He was more powerful than usual. That showing can't be used because of that.

He disconnected the power supply for the Eldest. That's not the same as directly beating him.

Pointed that out earlier and showed pics. They don't care. They want their information from a D.C. only perspective, anything else doesn't register. Vulcan's whole thing is the efficiency with which he is able to pluck energy right out of super energy imbued beings. It's like cheating in super hero comics, but that's what the hell he does. That's the character. GL, with a single exotic power source would be the worst match up possible. By the way, Annihilus would snack on a GL ring like a handful of skittles.

Let's recap:
- I commented on the nature of Red Lantern's magical energies and the source
- I commented on the fact that Red Lanterns don't matter regardless, because Hal is a Green Lantern.

That is not a matter of comprehension, it's a matter of effective communication, or lack thereof. If you wanted to emphasize his existence as a Green Lantern, it would have been better to say something like "It doesn't matter, Hal is a Green Lantern." The two items mentioned in your recap doesn't even make sense. Both Red Lanterns and Green Lanterns manipulate energy and Vulcan's ability to manipulate energy, all energy, dwarfs theirs, so they have that vulnerability in common.

those are def valid points. it's also valid to say that is an extreme outlier, even for hal. i'd still give this to vulcan going by standard showings for hal, but you've all convinced me it's likely closer than i may have originally thought. thumb up

and for the love of everything that's holy why the F*** does EVERYONE on the forum not put BAV on ignore?? it's maddening, seriously. if everyone ignored him i wouldn't be forced to read his motherf****** quoted posts and wouldn't be forced to follow his trolling or, more embarrassing, especially for forum vets, watch others get drawn into the troll-fests. f****** spam is getting tiresome in so many f****** threads. ignore him, or stop responding to his sh!t. seriously. and i'm begging y'all--stop quoting his bullsh!t.

If it's the scans of Havok beating Vulcan with a point blank surprise attack right after he absorbed the equivalent of a star, a) you ain't telling me shit, I have the issue and b) that's hardly a low showing. You're lowing balling is filthy. So for all your crying, I proved that Vulcan was able to absorb Quantum Magic with no problem, which isn't light energy. Deal with it.

Vulcan easily drained Warlock.

By the way, check the strength feat by Warlock and note that Vulcan takes a punch to the face by Warlock.

Hey Saint, I'm writing in large print since you seem to be having problems with your vision. You said I don't post scans when I debate. I just wanted to tell you, the picture above is called a scan and I posted it. You can bookmark this if you like for future reference.

P.S: Leo, here's some more material for your crying. Have fun.

Hal wins.

carver9
Vulcan wins a HUGE majority. Like a clean sweep win.

Zack M
No, he doesn't. Vulcan isn't anything Hal hasn't seen before.

DarkSaint85
Hal has faced Krona, with the Ion entity draining him. He overpowered that, and overpowered the Guardians no harm policy, and killed Krona.

If his willpower can overpower the embodiment of will's control on the emotional spectrum, PLUS a Guardians' control....he can override Vulcan's control.

Hal's willpower is just haxx like that. Oh, you can control Lantern energy? Well, Hal has that +1.

Hal. He can "out-will" anything Vulcan tries to throw at him, as he's dealt with far greater controllers of the energy he uses.

CosmicComet
Hal's track record is too damn good, and his high end too insurmountable.

Stoic
Wouldn't this be Vulcans fight to lose?

Zack M
You'd think so, but Hal's will has been hax lately.

So, here he is fighting Krona, who not only is a Guardian (and thus, unable to be killed by a ring), but also had all the emotional entities under his control - including Ion.

Krona was able to redirect ALL of Hal's will, with a simple shrug:

This was due to him controlling Ion, and thus, willpower:
https://comicnewbies.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/green-lantern-hal-jordan-vs-krona-3.png

He was even able to drain Hal's ring:

And yet...

We all know what happened in the end of that fight.

Krona+Ion's control of a Lantern's ring >>> Vulcan's control. Ion IS willpower. And Hal just overrode that. He overrode the Guardians' failsafe to stop it killing one of their own.

Stoic
OK well I'm convinced. Hal wins ugly, but it should be noted that his Krona era feats were not his average or norm showings. It's really taking him at his very best and throwing him up against a high herald level energy manipulator. Hal was operating at low end Sky Father levels at least. That's not really his average.

like i said--hal obviously has the higher showings, but he does not always fight at that level.

Is this just a high end showing or were there other showings that proves he was operating above normal?

Zack M
Hal is a being of PURE will power now. He's actually more dangerous AND he has the Krona gauntlets.

carver9
Vulcan will still control his energy though.

Zack M
It won't do much. Hal just put the smack down on PARALLAX recently. Vulcan isn't beating current Hal.

Galan007
Like others have said: it's not in character for Johns-era Hal to go into every battle with his 'God-will' fully activated.

-Sinestro
-Krona
-Volthoom
-Nekron
-Parallax
etc.

They were all beating Hal initially. It was only when his 'standard' wasn't good enough that he dialed-up his willpower enough to win. As far as I'm concerned, Hal's will is just as dynamic as Hulk's strength, but that's neither here nor there...

Point being: Hal can obviously win if his God-will is in full-swing. However, I believe it is also within Vulcan's ability to beat him before that ever happened.

DarkSaint85
It would have to be near instant for that to occur...and Galan, good list. I note that they are mostly above HHs, with Sinestro being one of the premier ringslingers.

Losing to people like Volthoom, Krona etc INITIALLY, is no bad showing for a mere HH stick out tongue

Galan007
Totally agree. But because those are the battles most are referencing, I felt like I should point out the specifics...

DarkSaint85
I agree with the point about his dynamic will. I wonder how full capacity, in this particular instance, would be treated. Genuine question.

DarkSaint85
Originally posted by carver9

What's Hal's baseline willpower level? Baseline Hulk strength level?

carver9
Originally posted by DarkSaint85

I'm asking if that's a one time showing.

DarkSaint85
Ah. Well, Galan has a nice little list of opponents Hal has beaten, all with great control of Lantern energy, all pretty much above HH level.

With his haxxed willpower.

Vulcan's a Low, right?

Edit: Also, what is your take on the full capacity rule here? If we take Gladiator as an example of another character whose powers depend on mindset, he starts off in a forum fight with full confidence levels. Hal too would have his willpower at full, right?

Per forum rules, characters fight at full capacity, but still in character. It is not in character for Hal to start off with his willpower at skyfather/abstract-busting levels, anymore than it's in character for Hulk to start off as "Teh Wurld Breakah!!!"

He'd shred through Vulcan effortlessly at peak levels. That's not even a question.

...But his standard level is a different story, imo.

leonidas
thing is, hal has been BEATEN by plenty of people too, so the question is how often does his 'god-will' (heh, like that thumb up ) actually kick in? the list of beings who have beaten, or made him look bad is....a lot longer than the list of godly beings he HAS beaten. the same can be said of course for almost any character. i guess i would question how often we assume god-will hal shows up. imo it's gotta be less than half, which is why i still say vulcan has the advantage in this. not because hal CAN'T win, but rather because he just wouldn't go all out as often as some believe he might.

that of course is purely opinion based though. thumb up

DarkSaint85
Reported.

Krona and Nekron showings were flat out amazing... I say Hal slightly more often than not.

Galan007
The amazing-er part is that he owned/punked Nekron twice in the same comic. Once as a Black Lantern, and then again as a Green Lantern.

But tbf, that was the same issue which likened Hal's willpower to the very first spark of existence--the light of creation itself. The issue also stated that Hal was an even greater willpower nexus than the Central Battery... So when I said 'God-will', I meant it literally, lol.


...IOW, Johns wants Hal inside him. thumb up

It is ridiculous when you override a well established failsafe based on pure will. Blasting Krona was secondary to me.

The Nekron one was just nuts considering the kind of threat he posed during the Black Lantern ordeal. He basically enslaved an abstract.

Geoff Johns has gone on record stating that

"The first blow against the Justice Leagues was against Superman -- who's the most powerful of them all, I think, spiritually and physically."

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=47514

Of course the only thing he had Superman aka God of Strength do is float around in the background during the entire Darkseid/Anti-Monitor God War saga.

Typical Johns really, though he did give Superman one moment to shine in Justice League #50 where everyone is blasting the new Darkseid Baby, Shazam, Flash, Mr. Miracle, Three GL's, and Superman. Darkseid Baby blows them all away with Omega Beams except Superman who is stalemating him with heat vision. That was the only Superman moment John's really gave him. Most of the Superman moments went to Ultraman vs Mobius. I'm curious where Johns ranks Ultraman in relation to his Superman.

Yeah, Johns doesn't usually gives heavy hitters of any team much time to shine.

You should see how often Alan and Hector were all but useless in JSA.

That was insanely impressive given how that baby had the power of ALE as well. He also tanked an omega beam too.

And all the while dying too.
