Hal Jordan Weaknesses and Intelligence revision

I want to suggest a change to Hal Jordan's profile since it seems VERY outdated in both the "Intelligence" and "Weaknesses" sections.

His current profile looks like this:
Intelligence: Above Average

Weaknesses:
Cannot affect anything that's yellow. | Rings hold a limited charge and need to be recharged with a power battery every so often. The ring cannot be used without sufficient willpower. If the user is somehow overcome by fear they will be unable to use the ring and will become vulnerable to the color yellow. If Green Lantern loses focus or concentration (i.e. through illusions) his power will weaken. | Prologue use of Krona's Power Gauntlet causes Hal’s powers to go unstable, becoming thought, expression, a construct, a being of pure unharnessed will, close to disappearing inside the emotional spectrum forever.

Intelligence Section:

Intelligence: Genius (Capable of ultra-rapid diagnosis of complex biological threats and fabricating subatomic machinery, such as creating a tuning fork to mess with radio beings and attacking combative nanites in his own bloodstream. He can modify the molecular structure of photon energy shields and resists being transmuted partially into a Guardian. Displays exceptional Battle IQ, such as phasing beams to activate the somatosensory cortex in Hector Hammond's thalamus, he exhibits rapid tactical deduction when he tells an alien by the way they reacted to food, then deducts they're a colony creature and punches them in the brain, deducing the central nervous structures of unknown alien colonies) | Extraordinary Genius (Possesses massively parallel processing and mnemonic sustainment indispensable for the instantiated holographic modeling of millions of interactive, self-generated neurological vectors simulating living inhabitants, while simultaneously stabilizing the macroscopic architectural structures of the entire Coast City megacity. Capable of reverse heuristic engineering to forge his own Green Lantern ring from scratch, reconstructing peak Oan technology and universal self-sustaining electromagnetic components instinctively, surpassing millennial collective intellects under conditions potentially lethal to human sanity)

Weaknesses Section:

Weaknesses: Rings hold a limited charge based on energy output and need to be recharged with a power battery. The ring's constructs and effectiveness are entirely dependent on the user's willpower and concentration; if Hal loses focus, is severely compromised mentally, or his willpower waivers (e.g., through extreme telepathic manipulation or illusions), his constructs will weaken or dissipate.

Why the Yellow Impurity Weakness should be removed: Hal Jordan (and most veteran Green Lanterns) has been able to affect the color yellow for nearly two decades.

Why Krona's Power Gauntlet Instability should be removed: This is not an inherent weakness of the character; it was a side effect of a highly specific, temporary piece of equipment that he no longer uses.

That's basically it. They aren't HUGE changes, but I believe they are fundamental to avoid misinformation on his profile.
