GL Captain America vs Green Lantern gauntlet

I thought this was an intetesting topic so here it goes.

Steve Rogers gets his shield and he also gets a GL ring. He is been training for 5 years so he is not a rookie on this scenario.

He goes emerald dawn all of the sudden.

The guardians send his best to try to stop him

He gets to rest between rounds and heals. How far can he make it?

1.- Killowog

2.- Guy Gardner

3.- John Stewart

4.- Sinestro (yellow ring)

5.- Kyle (normal)

6.- Hal Jordan

Can Steve Rogers outwill the best GL's?

Fights are like Emerald dawn. Stop Steve Rogers by anymeans necessary and Steve Rogers wants to reach the Central battery.

Everyone at best of their capabilities.

Go!

Props to Deadline for the idea

A theoretical character with no feats vs actual characters? Golly gee, this is hard.

😬

You mean Emerald Twilight, right?

So you're saying he doesn't even make it to Kilowog. 😛

Guy and John should swap places. The fanboi in me wants Guy and Kyle to be at the top and kick Hal's sorry ass down, but I'll let you have that one.

I would also point out one other thing: it's been stated repeatedly that willpower is the most important factor but not the only important factor. There's also concentration and creativity to consider. While I have no doubt Steve has the former covered, the latter I'd have serious doubts about. That being said, creativity is not that important (Kyle has it in spades, Hal not so much).

I'm not sure he can take a majority from Sinestro, and maybe even earlier. Unless people want to start showing me some really high end willpower feats from Cap, I'd have to defer to the proven commodities.

Even willpower isn't all that. GA has plenty of willpower - survivng on theat desert island, learning MA to take down Deathstroke, etc.

Same with Batman.

Neither of them were even able to conjure much.

Edit. Nevermind.

Bump.

So people are saying that cap will be the best GL.

I will bump this up so they can back up their claims

He would clear this Gauntlet with five days training. Again, his super solider serum also affects his mental capacity for combat. Think about the wars this guy has been through, the adversity, the cosmic wars with the Avengers- you are giving THIS guy a most versatile weapon. He would literally bring war to Superman and would be a bit more willing to use lethal force, although I don't think it would come to that.

I have no idea why some of you think it's sacrilege to say he would be superior to Hal. No disrespect to Hal, but he's not A) as accomplished a hero and b) it's not even fair, Cap is a SUPER HUMAN combatant.

He has a 5 YEAR experience with the ring. Not 5 days

Also, what showings are the base of your argument? (Please be specific)

I know what you said, I said he would be able to do it with only 5 days training. And there are no showings of him every being a GL, so....

My opinion is based on the traits of the character. Super strong will, super human combat skills, super human physical skills, ability to recall all information, super reaction, all of those things will be augmented by the ring.

By the way Cap used to be a cartoonist and an industrail artist. So yea I'd say he has a lot of creativity.

Batman has all those traits and he didn't fare any better being ring powered

👆

That's what I'm saying he's the perfect GL.

I don't think he's got better willpower feats than Cap. Also i think it was stated he was too cynical (Batman).

Not sure if Batman is really creative but he is intelligent(maybe the same thing).

I can see him getting MAYBE to Sinestro, but no further than that.

His willpower alone will carry him a long way.

Batman does actually have high end will power feats. He is pretty smart and really creative as well.

I don't remember if batman or GA was the one stated to be too cynical.

But Batman either with Green ring or Yellow ring have not performed up to par with the top GL's

I don't think Cap will do any better, the best and closest example I can think of that will resemble a Captain America GL will be Batman or Uncle Sam and none of them have performed very well with the ring. Uncle Sam seemed pretty good on paper but in the end he didn't deliver.
