I mean, there is very solid precedent for having weird spirits bound to your rings and/or lamps.

You can stash it or make it into a fashion statement.

And who could resist wearing the cage that binds a literal embodiment of an anthropomorphized aspect of our known universe?

Yes, really.

Do the rings have planned obsolescence built in by the Guardians so around the time new rings are being released the old ones can barely keep a charge?

The Ring that Baz had was one made by Sinestro. And from the arc Sinestro was described as the best Green Lantern because he was shown hacking his ring to do crazy stuff (like split it's power off, so instead of having a runtime of 2000 minutes he makes 2000 rings with 1 minutes worth of power to help an army of citizens fight a load of Yellow Lanterns.)

Because of the way Baz's ring was made it would malfunction a lot.
But he also never had formal training which ment he never had formal limitations like other Lanterns. So he used the ring to bring his brother back from a coma. Which was cool.

I guess it kinda makes sense when the guys who made the rings are hyper-controlling assholes. Of course they'd lie about their limitations.

Well it makes a little (if crazy) sense. Say you get a magic ring from out of the sky and all you know is that it's super powerful. You'd probably try some crazy poo poo. Whereas if the minute you got it, some rear end in a top hat from space showed up and gave you strict instructions on how to use the ring and what it can and cannot do, you'd never try anything kind of nuts.

I would specifically try all the things he told me it cannot do. Buuuut maybe that's just me.

It's like if you spent your life, from a child, in a strict wizard school. You know in order for a spell to work you have to make THESE precise movements, and THESE exact pronounced words, or else the whole thing just fizzles.

Compared to a sorcerer or someone with innate magic, would just be throwing poo poo together and see what sticks, not knowing there are "supposed" to be limitations.

Choco1980: Feb 22, 2013; I fell in love with a Video Nasty

All this talk about Baz makes me think of the Hellraiser comic series from a few years back. I don't have the panels to post unfortunately. Due to a very long string of events, Harry D'Amour from Lord of Illusions is the new Pinhead. Anyways, at one point he gets summoned by some people and they're all "nyah nyah, we put you in a magic circle so you can't touch us with your demonic powers!" And D'Amour is all "well, good thing magic circles don't stop lead" and pulls out a gun and shoots them, thinking "good thing I didn't put all my eggs in THAT basket!"

Isn't Baz like the fifth or sixth human Green Lantern? How are there so many of them running around at the same time? I thought the whole conceit of the lanterns was there was like 1 per 'sector' of space and sectors were gently caress-off huge.

To be fair, this is a planet of loving morons.

Makes me think of that whole deal from Earth X where all the god characters are really super-evolved aliens with unlimited power, only they're molded by the beliefs of others. So characters like Thor have no idea that they're secretly cut off at the knees.

Giving Power Rings to cats starts with Dex Starr and at no point goes to a Green Power Ring.

Cats get Red Rings. Squirrels, planets, broccoli and mathematical equations get Green Rings.

Space Ganesha gets a Blue one.

From Ren and Stimpy Show #6. This is the first time Dan Slott wrote Spider-Man.

I bought that comic from a freakin newsstand! There's a bit further in parodying the whole Spidey-trapped-under-rubble bit, where he's like, "Got to do it for my third grade math teacher! And Otto Flippa, Incan God of Ties!"

Otto Flippa's head is an upside down Beetle
