Say what you will about no-name Lanterns, in numbers of five or more they can take virtually any Earth hero down. Not everyone is Superboy-Prime after all.

Earth wins. The GLC are powerful but I don't think they are enough to stop nearly 100 strong heroes. Most of all, the heroes have more versatility in their team and i betting that their team work would be good as well.
I think they could. 6:1 odds, and even a normal GL is more than a match for a lot of heroes, while the stronger ones working as a group can take on the stronger heroes. A single random GL would be a major boss fight for some of these teams.
Exactly. There's a large number of named lanterns who're more than chumps. Even minor ones who've shown skill, like the one that help out Blue Beetle in the SC tie-in, or the ones over at Wonder Woman, or the members of the GL Corpse. Or the sentient smallpox.
Except characters like Wally, Fate, Barry, Bart, and a few other ones will be a major problem. I mean, they can take down a huge amount of GL, heck, you can argue that they can steal speed from anyone on the battle field.
Though, I doubt Omega meant current version of all since JLA right now is broken up. They have almost no members and the toughest members are out of the JLA; members like Barry, Wally, Superman, and Spectre. That's some serious fire power
Shiiit. Did we forget Mogo? Isamot, Vath and Salaak?
Along with Wog, Salaak and Mogo will be hard pressed to take out, they they have as much experiece as the main 4 earthmen. Plus like mentioned Arisa's been around for quite some time.
Oh yea, Mogo. I kinda discounted him since I assume the OP would want him out just like the other super-lanterns.
Salaak is definitely a good one- not just for his own skills, but for coordinating this many.
They can't steal speed from that many people at once that I've ever seen, and good GLs definitely have a chance against speedsters.
Fate's good, but just how many good GLs could he take on? GLs can combine their powers too.
Don't forget, some of the opponents will go down quite fast. Most of the Titans and Secret Six and Suicide Squad and Doom Patrol are hardly going to be useful, the Rocket Reds'll go down, etc.. We may be talking a dozen or more GLs against some of the tougher opponents.
Actually, they can. Both Wally and Barry have proven that they can steal speed from an entire planet, and the planet itself. They have no issue stealing speed from any one.
Mogo will probably get destroyed in a few hits by Superman or something
When and/or if the Lanterns take to the skies, that greatly reduces the Flash's effectiveness. Also, the Lanterns have the best aoe. Honestly the biggest problem the Lanterns face are the Magic wielders. The Flash's are being given too much credit in this fight.
Have they? I know of Wally's lent speed from others, but when has Jay, Barry and Bart done it to ppl far far away? Also, how often has it been done? Or are we just taking all feats into account whether they happened one time or not?
I just dont understand why whenever a Flash is involved "They'll just speed steal." is quickly mentioned. Like thats what they do when they fight. Thats not the case. Not even 1/2 the time.
I don't know about Bart, but Barry and Wally have stolen speed numerous of times. They have done it a lot of times, so I have no doubt they will do it. It's not an ability they do onces every 5 years, it's often
Im not saying that Barry and Wally has never done it. I know they have, but ive never seen anyone other that Wally steal it from a distance as youve stated. The one time i did see Wally do it, he had people build up the kinetic energy to give to him. Also, Flash's speed stealing of people doesnt happen often at all. Not every 5 years, but not 1 out of 5 issues either.
