His magic is no joke. For him to even be in the running for sorcerer supreme is really saying something. Also he has all those combat dedicated Doom bots to throw around. Also he's got to have tons of stuff lying around from all his world conquest attempts and I think at least one of them would trump sinestro. Doom is going to take this 7-8/10
if Doom get his doombot..then Sinestro will get his corps right..and Sinestro got parallex lying around somewhere in the universe..maybe he can use that..surely Sinestro would stomp..
Energy is energy (with the only real exception being those that are mystical) and the emotion based energies have been shown to be quite malleable in the past (against cap atom and firestorm).
I dont see why Doom shouldnt be able to absorb the energy. Even if not, Doom birngs more to the field than a ring slinger (who generally sticj to shields, striking constructs and blasts)
Armor to armor, Tony and Doom have been portrayed as rough-equals in every one of their battles. Doom only gains a definitive edge when he whips out teh magiks.
Doom has always been a 'good' magic user, but it wasn't until the recent Doctor Voodoo mini that I thought of him as an 'uber' magic user. Srsly, all of his showings in that series made me say "GAWD DAYUM!!!".
Except quasar can call upon an infinite amount of energy with the Q-bands whilst the rings have a limited charge (a charge which seems to be depleting faster and faster the last few years).
This makes them alot more susceptible to anyone who can absorb energy than Quasar, technically infinitely more susceptible.
I'd guess current tony has better armor than doom but i'd say tony can do well against the average GL anyways.
Edit> i dont mean Sinestro is an average GL, its a statement is all.

Doom's absorbing ability isn't even beyond Tony's armor, the Qwardian ring is vastly superior tech methinks. It's not like Victor's absorbtion has herald level feats.
Its absorbed power out of franklin richards. The device he used to absorb surfer's energy is easily good enough and its now inbuilt (its not specifically designed for the power cosmic). In its most recent showing doom drained cosmic hulk nigh instantly.
Ontop of that DOom can do most of what a ringslinger can dobefore we even factor in the magic too.

That was a very specific situation and apparently something Doom was prepared to do -as in planned-.
The Cosmic Hulk was powered by the Power Cosmic too, using magic to turn Skaar into a boy was way more impressive but it has nothing to do with energy draining.
Absolutely. Had the actuality bomb not been detonated in Nightmare's face just beforehand, Doom would not have been able to muck with Nightmare's power.
Regardless, the fact that Doom was able to absorb energies of that magnitude is still pretty incredible (not that I think it's something he'd do here.)
