I don't know, I think I could get behind a version of Hal Jordan who's a hilariously inept moron with a power ring. And if he overcomes his rampant stupidity and succeeds because his heart's in the right place, then that's heartwarming as well as being funny. It's a human quality! It's the infallible white bread Mary Sue Hal Jordan who sucks.

I kinda like the cage bars one. It's not your fault Hal, that's just how comic and cartoon artists draw cages.

A funny thing about Silver Age Green Lantern is that he gets his ring and then pretty much instantly starts using it to date movie stars.

In defense of Hal, his lameness created a character vacuum that has subsequently spawned laterns of pure awesomeness such as Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner and G'nort.

Guy Gardner can be argued as "what if Hal Jordan was born butt ugly and dropped most of his filter?"

Guy Gardner, like most of the non-Hal GLs, didn't really begin that way. He was a social worker who got the ring and was presented as an equal choice to Hal, it was just that Hal was closer to Abin Sur when the call went out. A series of "Hal fucks up" left him in a coma with brain damage and that, plus Hal being an rear end in a top hat, lead to Guy being gradually written as more of a dick. JLI really solidified the dude as "giant rear end in a top hat" but he wasn't initially that.

Is Guy actually in any of the main DCU books right now? (JL3k1 doesn't count. Though his/her clumsy attempts at feminist solidarity are either really awkward by Giffen and JMdM or really, really funny)

This very situation became a running gag on Batman: Brave and the Bold. It was usually G'nort who would exclaim about the one punch knock out though, as Ted was long replaced by Jaime at that point.

I don't have the pages on me, but there's a story in the early 90's about how there can only be one Earth Lantern and rather than destroy a city with their rings, Guy and Hal agree to fight it out powerless. Hal suckerpunches Guy down and Blue Beetle's in the background, laughing his rear end off. Guy springs back up, going, "No one punch... NO ONE PUNCH!" and the fight goes on. The funniest One Punch moment is still when Hal punched down Batman during Rebirth. Not because Guy was given the Blue Beetle role, but because of the legion of angry Batfans who couldn't accept Batman being punched ever.

Huge Batman fan, but that punch sold me on Hal because someone needs to call Batman out on his poo poo once in a while. Then they have that one issue together in GL where Batman puts on the ring which was nice.

All this did was remind me of a G'nort storyline I read when i was a kid about him facing off against some giant, probably yellow, flea or big conscious group of fleas (a la Marvel's Swarm). Heck if I know where I read it in (I'd guess a JLA/JLE/JLI book though).

Gaz-L posted:This is the rare case of him not posting an edit, right? Oh it's worse than you know. Short version: Arisia was a plucky alien kid/green lantern who had a brother/sister relationship with Hal. This turned into a crush on her part. Her ring, acting on her will to no longer be a child, gives her an adult body. Upon revealing this to Hal, they make out and start a relationship. Hence:

prefect posted:Don't you technically take brain damage any time you're knocked unconscious by a physical jolt? Yeah, but in this case Batman's punch resulted in Guy changing personality (becoming an extremely nice guys) before another punch reverted him to his old self. All in all Guy's brain is probably full of black spots.
