Green Lantern. Human imagination meets magical construct creation beats technological limitation

Green Lantern. All he needs is a super sharp green spike through the eye-plates.

That has been retcon though.

I don't really care if a retcon took away the GL vulnerability to a color, being sniped by a repulsor blast is enough to take him out anyway, regardless of the color of the beam.

I haven't caught up much on DC lately, are the Lanterns invulnerable to attack if they can't raise a 'shield' in time now? Sure they can make matter and stuff with the rings, but can they see a beam of light coming and react to it before it cauterizes their neck-stump? I always assumed they were more-or-less mortal (or some kind of alien) except that the ring lets them make matter, energy, and junk.

I don't see any targeting computers in that lame face mask. Unless Martian Manhunter is there to relay tactical data via-telepathy (which doesn't seem to be in the stipulation of Green Lantern VS Iron Man), what defense does a Lantern have from a high powered light beam coming at it from extreme range? Because Iron Man can do that, he's got computers and stuff.

I agree that it more or less comes down to who gets the drop on who, but it seems to me like Iron Man has the edge here, unless Green Lantern uses another hero's tech (bylaws?) to 'cloak' himself from Iron Man's sensors so that Lantern can get the first shot.

Hal has reacted and moved at faster than lightspeeds. Even if Iron Man gets the surprise attack, Lantern will block it, and then knock the stuffing out of Iron Man all within the span of a second, maybe less.

As far as I know the ring warns him to danger in the surrounding area. In which case he'd easily know about a 5km away attack.

In a blind fight (no preparations), Green Lantern can just imagine EVERYTHING Iron Man can do and more. He would win. The suit would take damage and fail (partially until fully) before the ring would weaken.

Batman wins he always wins even if its not his fight....

but Iron-man as Id like him to win

 

[Blunderboy]

I do love how heated these debates get about fictional characters.
I do much prefer Iron Man as a character though.

Also, my money would be on Iron Lantern.

 

[Ieyke]

Green Lantern EASILY has the potential to win, but he wouldn't.

Green Lanterns are seemingly the least imaginative people in the galaxy and never ever fight remotely near what they're theoretically capable of.

Stark, on the other hand, thinks waaaaaaaaay outside the box and would just out think any of the Green Lanterns without particularly trying.


Basically, this is Batman VS Green Lantern. Because Wayne is Stark's nearest equal in DC.
Everyone knows Batman would win.
