Quantum Bands VS. GL Ring
Which is more powerful? Which would you rather have?
Debate.

Quantum bands are more powerful than the rings. They don't need to be recharge whats so ever. quantum bands have unlimited powers they an absorb the gl rings power making them useless.

Thay say the the ring is the most powerful weapon on the universe...but I doubt it.
Quantum Bands for me. They don't need insane amount of willpower to be used.

Personally I'd go with the Quantum Bands. It has near limitless potential.

How can you say that the Quantum bands are more powerfull than the GL rings? And just so you know, GL rings can absorb energy just as the quantum bands can. I say the only advantage the QB has over a GL ring, is that the bands dont have to recharge. Besides that, they are exactly the same.

does Quasar need both the quantum bands to function? couldn't he do all that stuff with just one and give the other to one of the Avengers or something?
same question about the Nega bands

They're stuck to his wrist. Super-glued. He can't get them off. Must be uncomfortable as hell.

Lol. Hell yea. And heavy. But yea Scoobles, i believe he needs both. Same with Nega bands. Doesnt Rick have to rub tghem gogether to transforn to Captain Marvel? I could be wrong though.

quote: Everything There Is To Know About Quasar's Quantum-Bands
by Mark Gruenwald
What's Quasar's Standard Operating Procedure?
1.
2. Contain. Q encounters someone who looks menacing. Immediate reaction: whip up a containment vessel around him to prevent further danger.
3. Drain. If it appears this menace has energy-based powers, Q taps those powers and drains them off. The length of time this takes depends on the extent of the menace's power. He cannot do this to persons whose energies are outside the electromagnetic spectrum or are vastly more powerful than he (e.g., Thanos).
Attack. Clobber the guy with a quantum-construct, be it a personal weapon (Q prefers nunchakus) or a big something like a giant hammer or anvil.
How Strong Are Quasar's Quantum-Constructs?
It depends on:
1.
2. Energy available to the quantum-bands. Usually not a problem. The quantum zone--the realm of potential energy from which all actual energy in our universe derives--has an infinite amount of energy available for tapping. But if he's out of the multiverse, in some magical dimension for instance--oh-oh, he's dependent upon how much he happens to have stored in his wrist-bands at the time of entry.
3. His concentration at the time of the construct's construction. If he's really alert and imbues it with the appropriate thickness, density, and stability, it will be stronger than a quickly or sloppily-constructed object. Mental fatigue is a major factor. When he's tired, he's sloppy and makes poor judgments, including during quantum-construction.
The design, size, and thickness of the object created.
* Design: Some shapes are intrinsically stronger than others, usually the simpler the sturdier (spheres, triangles, tubes, discs).
* Size: The smaller the object the more time Q has to make it dense and thus more durable. A boxing glove around his fist would probably be denser and more durable than a boxing glove the size of a bus made in the same amount of time.
* Thickness: The thicker the "skin" of a hollow object the stronger it may be. Something as thick as a dictionary will be more durable than something as thick as a single sheet of paper. Furthermore, while the Black Knight's sword might be able to slice through a quantum-construct (see below), if the thickness of his construct is greater than the length of the blade, the blade will not be able to penetrate all the way through.
Does Quasar Feel The Pounding His Constructs May Take?
No. There is no feedback circuit between him and his constructs. In other words, if pressure is applied to a construct, he does not feel referred pressure on his head. His brain only shapes the energy, it doesn't provide it or is connected to it in any way. He feels it no more than a sculptor would feel it if you smashed his clay statue.
How Long Do His Quantum-Constructs Last?
In general, the energy remains solidified until he deconstructs them. Untampered with, a construct can remain in existence theoretically forever. Once an object is created, it is no longer dependent upon his consciousness or will power to remain in existence. If he is knocked out, the construct will just remain floating there. He can mentally embed a self-destruct timer into a construct at the time of construction, causing it to dissolve at an appointed time.
The forms that he makes out of quantum-energy may be broken, however. This is dependent upon how strong he originally constructs them. If he surrounds the Hulk in a tissue-paper width quantum-construct, the Hulk is going to be able to tear himself out pretty darn quick. The torn pieces however will not dissipate until he absorbs them back into his quantum-bands (which looks like he wills them out of existence).
Can He Bolster A Previously Built Construct?
No. If he does not construct one strong enough, he cannot just pour energy into it to bolster it, he must either create a second construct around it, or deconstruct it and reconstruct it stronger (which may only take a fraction of a second, but this would certainly allow super-fast so-and-sos to free themselves).
How Heavy Are His Quantum-Constructs?
It depends on how dense he makes them. Anywhere from barely negligible to several times as heavy as the object constructed of conventional materials would weigh. No matter what they weigh he can swing them around with the greatest of ease.
How Many Constructs Can He Make At The Same Time?
This depends on his powers of concentration. While it's possible to perform two similar but different tasks at the same time (e.g., transcribing the musical notes to one melody while humming a different melody), it's difficult and takes longer than doing a sequence of separate tasks. In other words, to form a shield and a chair at the same time would probably take him just as long as forming one first and then the other, and they probably would not be as well constructed as doing them separately. The exception to this would be the mass production of something simple, such as a swarm of baseball-sized spheres or a slew of javelins.
How Many Quantum-Constructs Can Remain In Existence At The Same Time?
Theoretically as many as he makes. Once they're in existence they're set for life. However, there is a definite limit to the number of things he can animate at the same time. If a construct has moving parts--say, two blades of a pair of scissors--it will take concentration to keep that object operating. When he stops thinking about it, it will stop moving though it will not blink out of existence. We've yet to see Quasar try to bring into existence as many quantum-constructs as he can manage. His mind would definitely fatigue before he came anywhere near using up all the energy of the quantum-zone available to him.
What Can The Quantum-Bands Do Besides Make Constructs?
They enable him to quantum jump or create small apertures between the fabric of space/time in the actual world of matter and energy and the potential world of matter and energy that is the quantum zone. He can then travel through this trackless featureless zone and emerge at a different point in our physical space. His quantum-bands enable him to keep his bearings while in the zone and thus emerge where he wants to. He can cross countless light years in a single jump, if he so desires. Important note, however, he cannot quantum-jump in an atmosphere without ripping a huge hole in its ozone layer. Thus using it for teleportation on Earth is out of the question.
Quasar could also use the quantum-bands to bolster his metabolism, though he has yet to realize this is a property of the bands. (His predecessor--Marvel Boy--did, though, and used them to give him superhuman strength and prowess.)
Can He Preprogram His Quantum-Bands With Specific Commands?
Yes. He has preprogrammed them to be sensitive to incoming energy fluctuations of sufficient power to do him harm and automatically absorb that energy. He also programmed his quantum-bands to automatically whip up a forcefield when it senses an incoming energy source that may be harmful to Q's form.
He cannot program his bands to automatically protect him from danger from non-energetic sources. Thus they cannot automatically protect him from ballistic objects (kinetic energy is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum). Thus a bullet could catch him by surprise but a laser blast couldn't.
He's also programmed the quantum-bands to automatically protect his mind from psionic influence by producing a jamming wave in his mind.
I like super strength.

They both need to recharge. It's much longer anyway. They got rid of that ridiculous 24 hour rule. It's more like two weeks these days.

I'd choose the ring...my will power, plus my creativity...there'd be no stoppin' me. Like when I'm watching TV and want some chips. Some people might just sit there because they're comfortable....but not me!! I get up and get the chips.
If that isn't heroic willpower, I don't know what is. Hal has nothin' on me.
