Green Lantern project

It was recently brought to my attention that our Green Lantern pages aren't the best. Aside from Hal and possibly Alan Scott being semi-composited, we don't list their powers in a proper way. Green Lantern powers and statistics come from their Power Rings and Lanterns, and therefore, most GL members can potentially perform the same powers, just to varying degrees of effectiveness. There is no strict power set, as Jordan himself put it, you become your imagination. Because of this looseness in how their powers are handled, I believe we should make a page for their Power Ring and list all shown powers and abilities there, similarly verse-specific powers.

A sandbox I made to compile said powers. I'm also looking for feats, but that's of a lower priority for now. Current priority is Post-Crisis, but Pre-Crisis, and Post-Flashpoint stuff is wanted too, but to a lesser extent. All help is welcomed, but let's all try to cite our sources to the best of our abilities. Same with other colored corps, it's nice to compile their stuff as well, but our top priority is fixing up the Green Lanterns themselves.

Resources to help out with

• This huge respect thread on the Green Lantern Corps forums. It's very old, poorly cited, and a good portion of the links are dead, but is still a massive resource on the rings capabilities
• The DC Wiki has a largely well-cited list of powers and abilities, but it's far from complete
• Respect Threads in general, but only s many are well cited.
• Appearance lists for various GLC members and related characters. I have compiled lists for Abin Sur, Saint Walker, and Solomon Grundy, and will make lists for other characters on request. Several major non-human GLC members should be a good starting place since they have less appearances and are generally not as powerful.

Thanks to everyone who helps out!

This was on my to do list but you got to it before lol.


It looks pretty good so far. I can help with the remaining citations when I have free time

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Take your time, there is no rush!

Some things I forgot to add to the original post:

• Day 1 Hal Jordan tanks a nuke with no injury (18 Kilotons)
• Year 1 Hal Jordan stops continents from drifting (1.164 Pettatons)

Both of which if accepted should scale to weaker Lanterns as possible minimal. Also, cold resistance via constantly flying through space. I'll add these when I get back.

 

[Confluctor]

cold resistance

I am surprised they don't all already have that.


I think we can just add extreme temperatures because I think I have seen a panel of them standing lava and whatnot. Tho I gotta look for it.

Or is cold resistance different than extreme temperatures?

Yeah it goes both ways. Lanterns can fly pretty close to stars (warning: gorey) and the aforementioned nuke feat would mean Hal was unfazed by the intense heat of said bomb.

A day 1 Lantern has a MFTL+ feat, though that might be the ring guiding him rather then his own skill. Also noteworthy is in the story, a dying lantern (Laham) was able to send his consciousness through space to find a replacement, so a good astral projection showing.

Also Breeon mentions rings can reverse time, but they don't because of rules.
Both stuff from Green Lantern Quarterly Vol 1 2.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Green Lantern Quarterly Vol 1 2 - G'nort 'disguises' himself to look like Hal Jordan, not sure if this is illusions or shapeshifting.
Also, The Divine Phoenix informed me that the ring tends to operate under Subjective Reality, so I'll add that to the list.

 

[Confluctor]

I am thinking illusion creation.

Also, Subjective reality? Really? I have never noticed it myself. Hope they provide some scans because that would make quite a bit of sense for lantners.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

The logic they used is that since Hal says their power is imagination, they'd effectively have a lower version of t since they can make replicas of stuff they imagine. I'm not too familiar with that power so I'll let others decide on that.

 

[Confluctor]

Hmmm, I see... Tho I am not sure about it myself; I will wait and see what others say.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Updated the Sandbox. I'm gonna start going through Hal's massive power list and see if I can find sources for most of them.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Cyborg Superman says Green Lantern can atomize Doomsday (Superman Vol 2 78, first(?) issue of Reign of the Supermen or one of the first I believe), though he probably wouldn't do something like that due to a no-killing rule, but could still be added to his P&A.

About this

Considered the most powerful weapon every conceived by Superman

I think it should be specified which version of Superman said and which year. (I kinda can't tell because of the art ).

I say this because Superman has seen some insane weapons in post crisis, eg; miracle machine in final crisis. So it wouldn't confuse some people.

Fair enough. Everything aside from the Tomar-Re speed feat is Post-Crisis. That statement in particular is derived from The Last Will and Testament of Hal Jordan.

As I've said before, before someone brings it up, I don't think John Stewart's solar system feat should be treated as 4-B, or as a cap, as the capabilities being exceeded was more likely due to the size and complexity of what he was creating, and creating planets and a star isn't 4-B anyway.

 

[Teezar]

Aren't the rings also called extra-dimentional weapons also twice infact.
By hal jordan and lex luthor

 

[Confluctor]

Extra dimensional can mean anything, aside from getting a higher tier without proper context.

Additionally, extra dimensional is often used as flowery language. Can you provide the scans and context so we can analyse what it means here?

 

[Teezar]

I would hit I wouldn't wanna stress myself looking for the books I saw it so just ignore my chat.

Agreed. Density of said star would be different then a rea star anyway so it'd have to be calced. In general I feel like we should look for destructive feats to scale them to, though, since they'd be more reliable.

Not super useful, but I found a pretty neat FTL+ reaction/movement feat for Hal earlier/resistance to Time Manip (moving about freely after slowing down the passage of time to picoseconds)

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Legends of the DC Universe Vol 1 28-29. Some of neat stuff.

• The ring managed to shrink the entirety of Earth done to subatomic sizes, leaving it 'hypercompressed'.
• He sealed it within the rings internal pocket dimension, which Lanterns have sealed people t in the past (seen here)
• The destruction of the ring would create a blast that will destroy all planets in the solar system and then the the sun

Notably, this probably downgrades Alan Scott's 4-B statement to 4-C as it's destroying each body individually.

 

[Confluctor]

I believe Alan should be more powerful than a standard ring because the nature of his power, so I don't think we should downgrade his 4B statement.

 

[Hellbeast]

I'm pretty sure the ;ex statement is in reference to the Power Ring of Earth 3 in the New 52

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

I believe Alan should be more powerful than a standard ring because the nature of his power, so I don't think we should downgrade his 4B statement.

Alan apparently has better peak feats anyway. I mostly meant it in a way to subject more justification towards 4-B Superman and co.

I come back, bearing calcs

• Lanterns destroy Xanshi (53 Exatons - Moon level)
• Kyle Rayner creates a planet (1.6 to 53 Zettatons - Small Planet to Planet level)
• JLA push the moon (1.6 Yottatons - Planet level+)
• Traitor destroys planet (3.2 Ninatons - Large Planet level)

 

[Confluctor]

Oh I see. But yeah, in that case, I can agree

 

[Confluctor]

I have found a scan for invisibility, but tracking down the issue has been a pain

Justice League of America (2006) #1 has an invisibility feat for Hal. I've just been to lazy to read it and add iit to the list.

 

[Confluctor]

Alright, will look through that on Sunday when I am off.

Although the one I found is where he turns an entire city alongside himself completely invisible.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Interesting. If you post the scan, I can try tracking it down for you.

 

[Confluctor]

It's awfully small and low quality, but if you can, that will be
great

Found it. Green Lantern Vol 2 2
Weirdly enough, downloading the image made it a lot bigger.

 

[Confluctor]

Oh neat. Thank you.

I have been looking for it for a while but had no luck lol.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Green Lantern Corps Vol 1 3, Ub'x is dying/fading from existence as a residual result of The Crisis and Ch'p restores him with his Power Ring. Ub'x staff works like a Power Ring itself and kept him alive through The Crisis via willpower, and his willpower began to fade when he realized how lonely he was.

Any idea what kind of power this is for Ch'p? Life Manipulation? Healing? Negation?

 

[Confluctor]

The first one is definitely healing imo

The second one would fall under durability/unconventional resistance to Anti Matter imo

 

[Firestorm808]

I can assist when available.

the first is healing and the sencods seems is Acuasuality (type 1) or resistance to anti-matter

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Some stuff so I don't forget -

• Dream Manipulation? (Green Lantern Corps Vol 1 211) The Power Rings also seem to help sober them up after Gardner spiked their drinks, is that poison resistance?
• Age Manipulation (Green Lantern Corps Vol 1 206)
• Can't find it now but I think Sojourner Mullein (a Post-Rebirth Lantern) has a pretty blatant NPI feat where she trades blows wit beings of pure data.
• Black Hand with GL energy absorbed creates an earthquake, can we use that to give teh GL Earth Manipulation? Will post scans bt I gotta go for now.

 

[Confluctor]

that poison resistance?

Yes. Lanterns have unconditional resistance to it iirc

can we use that to give teh GL Earth Manipulation?

I disagree with that... At least for now. Mainly because a lot of abilities between different corps aren't interchangeable

My fault for not posting the full thing. It's not Black Lantern Black Hand, but him when he just stole GL energy and used it as his own. Not sure f that makes a difference though.

Oh then, I can see Limited Earth Manip at the very least

 

[Teezar]

This can be uses as a scan for memory manipulation.

 

[Antvasima]

This seems to be a good idea to me. Thank you very much for helping out.
