Ed's Notes: Question... If he just ZAPS Green Lantern with his Ring, full force... That's a 21/21 attack against... WHAT, exactly? 8/4?  Because the Skin Armor won't work, but will Hal's Body stay at 12? Why would it? If it would, then Gold Bullets (etc...) would never work. And I feel like they SHOULD. (Against an RV of 4.)  But an EV 21 will do 17 RAP's against an RV of 4, before any column shifts.  So either he's DEAD (4-17 = much less than -4, even after last ditch defense, and there's no reason to think his Invulnerability would function either) OR... Do you use an RV of 4, but keep his Body at 12? (So kind of like the Wonder Woman vs. Bullets scenario?) Then he's at -5 (out of -12) and potentially as high as +7, though still thoroughly stunned, after Last Ditch Defense.  (But then we're back to STILL having basically nothing to fear as no GUN (EV 5?) with a gold bullet) will ever do enough damage to an RV 4, to surpass his last ditch defense if his Body stays at 12!  Just a thought. Not sure how to work this so that it makes the low-end situation a threat, but doesn't turn GL into an effortless KILL for Sinestro.



First Appearance: Green Lantern Vol. 2 #7 (August, 1961)

  1. I always had an issue with the GL Rings not working against Yellow, but he could force construct arm wrestle with Sinestro.

    I've always determined (No emotional Spectrum BS) that the Two rings operate on pretty much the same frequency and therefore can interact with each other.

    1. Seanbaby said it best on his Superfrields page, (http://www.seanbaby.com/super.htm) ...

      "Yellow only seems to work on Green Lantern when both he, the bad guys, and the writers remember."

      Lol.

      In the same article...

      "Serious Fact: I keep a white board by my VCR, and marked down every time Green Lantern's powers worked against yellow. Out of 30 episodes where Green Lantern appeared, his powers worked against the color yellow 24 times. In fact, in 3 episodes, the stuff he made was yellow already. It had to be something wrong with my TV, since I figured if you made a yellow rocket that couldn't touch the color yellow, the world would explode. No, my TV was fine. Either the guys who colored the show had all their green markers dry up, or they got f*ck!ng hammered before they started."

      And, yes, I highly recommend his site. Lol.
