they arent really, theyre just a bit stronger. truth be told if it werent for the ability to shut down the Rings they dont seem much diff than Ion 2.0. in effectiveness (which as observed hasnt been that great based on wat we've seen to date).
yea, I dont think calling the AL's "seasoned Corpsmen" is valid given 2 of them were brand new to the Corps.....
aside from Torquemada, who else has a side ability??
I thought the Ion force and the ring was connected. IMO i really think A person with the power of Ion (even 2.0 version) a aplha should not be able to cut off the connection between the user and the ring or the ring itself. A alpha can do it to a normal GL but to a Ion imbued ring bearer? I just find it hard to believe. Either way one can not prove it. Atleast I don't think so..
I mean when HAl went all crazy and took a ton of rings Alpha guys could have stepped in and be like "no, stop" and off it goes.
when hal went crazy afaik there were no alpha lanterns which are new to the glc sincethe return of the lost lanterns who were captured by cyborg superman iirc.
And ion was established directly by the guardians themselves... I think it is actually unclear whether ion requires a ring... However sodam could die from the lead back from superbly shoving it in him during infinite crisis? I would think that there being only one ion puts him above the powers of the alphas.... But like I said who knows..
1 ion 4 alphas 1600 regular gl corps members...
If you said mogo was still alive....

Ion doesn't require a ring. Yat was given a ring to prevent the lead that was given to him by Prime in the Tales of Sinestro War. He also has the ring to limit the use of Ion force. Mogo is still alive, and I think the amount of GL there are in the DC is a lot more then 1,600
well, they are connected in 1 fashion: apparently Yat couldnt access the power of the symbiote while he wore the Ring, and THAT was happening becuz Scar was preventing it from adhering to his requests.
well, even b4 then the Oans could shut down a GLCr's Ring, but on the day Hal went bonkers it was just too convenient that they remember being able to that..........
Yat wasnt given a Ring; he simply kept the 1 he was given as a GLC-member.
I dont recall him using it as a limiter for the Ion-pwr however.......
