One time, Green Lantern was fighting a villain with fire powers. He made a green bubble around the villain. The villain tried to blast through it with his fire powers. But ten seconds later, he had passed out from lack of oxygen.

"It's a really good bubble." -John Stuart

[@KingOfElectricNinjas]

Considering Green Lanterns travel through space all the time and often bring friends with them, making an airtight bubble seems like one of the first things they learn.

[@AveSicarius]

​@@KingOfElectricNinjas How do they create more oxygen though? Plus if they can create Oxygen, they can likely deconstruct it to, or just remove it from the bubble. There you go, instant incapacitation of pretty much anyone who is reliant on oxygen and can't just live on photosynthesis or some shit like Superman (who is apparently immune to the vacuum of space). You could just create a vacuum bubble and now your opponent will go unconscious extremely quickly while being unable to do anything unless they can break out of the bubble, and you could simply layer the bubbles or setup traps outside of it. Honestly the GL ring is absolutely busted if use appropriately, but this is a universe with Superman who is a literal plot device that is as strong as he needs to be at any moment and can somehow travel massively faster than light (while still knowing what's going on) and punch holes in the universe with magic photosynthesis powers, so I guess being super OP is necessary?

[@kappadarwin9476]

@@AveSicarius I think their ring provides the oxygen for them. If I remember GLs had to go through the anti-matter universe as part of a trial.

The only weakness is MAYBE some mental strain, and even that’s a weakness usually written out or overcome in the comics. Again, she can’t make complex objects like, say, a gun, but similar to the T-1000, simple things like knives and stabbing weapons are on the table and highly effective. Plus, since they’re indestructible and even their movement can be controlled, she hypothetically could make a “bullet” of sorts. Also, to get it out of the way: Hal and them suggesting he could make constructs inside people can also be done by Sue.

Originally during the early silver age, the green lantern ring could basically do whatever the writer wanted it to, from creating life, to telekinetically puppetering people's bodies, to accessing other dimensions, but came with the weaknesses that it couldn't effect anything that was the color yellow in anyway. One of the most absurd situations Hal found himself in was when a bunch of mobsters were working with a toymaker that would make gadgets to help with crime. The toymaker had a special machine that bathed the hideout in "invisible yellow radiation" that would kill a normal person in seconds (the mobsters had special necklaces that shielded them from the radiation) meaning Hal couldn't just go in and capture the mobsters. Instead of doing something reasonable like luring the mobsters out or breaking the machine, Hal decided to use the Green Lantern ring to alter his body on a molecule level to become a robot immune to radiation so that he can go into the hideout and fist fight the mobsters. Later stories would retcon/dial-back the green lantern ring to mostly using the hard-light constructs people are familiar with, but in return removed the weakness to yellow.

In the old comics, the green lantern ring was basically a handheld reality warping device with an advanced AI and limited power. My guess would be that most lanterns mostly stuck with hard-light constructs because it's simpler (and thus faster and less mentally taxing) and more efficient than anything else they can do. In combat, if absorbing the enemy's attack and shooting it back at them takes a quarter-second longer than stopping it with a bubble, it's probably not worth it most of the time - that extra quarter-second could get you killed. In newer comics, flying really fast, shooting lasers, and making hard-light constructs are pretty much the only things that the ring can do. There are a few utility things as well, like active sensing and long-range communication, plus life support, but that's about it.

In the Silver Age and a little after Crisis, Green Lantern actually could make permanent constructs (see the Crime Syndicate's prison). I guess he had to will them to disappear, too. Or maybe he has to specify "make a DISAPPEARING giant fist". Also, they were not always green, he could make them subconsciously and they could be sentient. That and he had powers beyond making things - once, he made his sidekick Tom Kalmaku turn into a swan. Because he was dreaming about him turning into a swan, and the ring made it happen.

[@Temon-nn7gb]

Fun fact, the ring is supposed to contain a kill block, which was shown in the comics (since superhero shit, blah blah blah), but at the same time it allows you to create fucking missiles and machine guns, which leads to a more complex reasoning about how the ring is in general determines what will kill a creature and what will not. Well, as a bonus, having high willpower does not mean good imagination, or after 130 creative solutions, most people say to themselves “Fuck this machine gun is simpler and more effective” and do not use anything more complex for no particular reason.

[@stevenscott2136]

It also used to have a protective function, which prevented the user from dying, but not from being knocked out. I remember one story where he got knocked out by a flaming saw blade hitting him in the gut. The ring didn't stop that, but it automatically made a hammock to catch him before he hit the ground. I think the ring is sapient -- and a massive jerk.

[@Kshandamion]

And Sinestro's whole war with the Green Lanterns was meant to push them into removing the kill block. Even before/without that, GLs have gotten around it with just the simplest, obvious loophole: just carry a real gun. Jack T. Chance, a native to the hellhole planet of Ganthet that got recruited because every previous lantern got killed trying to bring order to it, would just wear down criminals with the ring then finish them off with the gun. And Simon Baz, a lantern from Earth who brought the gun as a precaution, *did* kill Sinestro with it, (didn't stick only because the place they were in resurrected him,) and only gave it up after a talk with Batman.

Well, most of the first half *has* been explained in one form or another. -Green Lanterns are Space Cops, are usually limited to one per space sector, and have a mandate of nonlethal force. -The rings themselves are connected to a discerning intelligence, which allows them to select new wielders and make snap judgments as what counts as "lethal force." -A lantern's imagination is powerful, real knowledge even more so. Lanterns who have deep knowledge of engineering, chemestry, and biology can make complex constructs that can do far more than make rough outlines with weight. -While you *could* keep smashing with rocks, the Rings are ultimately just pieces of highly advanced battery-powered technology. There is an inherent limit on how much a ring can be used before it needs a recharge, which means there *is* an upper limit where a single ring uses its entire charge making one construct that only lasts a half-second. -And finally, Green Lanterns (and DC) need to get over themselves and admit it's not "Willpower" they're using, it's "Courage", the direct opposite of Fear.

[@matthewpoole2700]

It's two per sector like cops on a precinct. And it IS and always will he Willpower not "Courage". Its the ability to over come great fear, to push through when the odds are stacked against you.

He creates a giant fan. and blows it back in your face! Take That! (Batman may have helped with this plan)

[@naiitsirk]

He'll aim his ring and construct a cube where you're standing, and boom! Cube. Piss gone

[@Sorain1]

Or he grabs the air and uses that to intercept. Your in a fluid, not outer space. (Unless your in space, it'd take a pretty wide hydrogen net to meaningfully make a shield in time.)

One time, when Hal was asleep, a random dream of his ended up turning his sidekick into a seagull. Back in the day it wasn't about energy constructs nearly as much as it was a magic wishing ring. Not literally magic, but in terms of how it could do all sorts of random things. Oh, and one time Hal turned himself into a robot.

[@KATTALNUVA3]

To be fair, Hal once overpowered the literal embodiment of all willpower in the universe with his own willpower. That’s insane.

[@justadude450]

0:36 The reason he couldn't do that is that the ring won't let you kill. Although Hal has been shown to overpower the ring with his will.

[@melontusk7358]

in the timeline where Booster Gold messed up Batman's life, and Catwoman is a crazy girl with the mental capacity of a stray cat who killed Alfred, Hal Jordan showed Booster that he's strong enough to overpower the Ring's system and blow his own brain out, in front of Booster Gold,... as a flex.

He could just make everyone go unconscious by cutting off their oxygen supply. Or lock them in a cage made with the strongest material in the universe. Or make them go blind like in the video.

@@MarvinPowell1 Fun Fact: Batman's contingency plan for Kyle Rayner was to make him believe he was blind to the point that the ring actually made him blind
