could any Green latern take the surfer? If not, how many laterns would it take?

[Venom.Symbiote]

Living planets. Hah. All the Surfer would do is ring the dinner bell and Galactus would come and have a little snack. Only difference is, the living planets could beg for their lives while the others couldn't. LOL

I'm joking of course.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

I would assume so. For Hal Jordan, a being of only 6 feet, he can easily move thing many times his own size. What could a being tens of thousands of miles wide be capable of?

but what does teh physical size of the ring bearer have any effect on the amount of will power they posess?

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

If he can beat Kyle, he can beat Hal, John and Guy just as well.

but some may say that some of the other laterns are better strategists than Kyle and may find a better way of going up against the surfer?

especially in a tactical team of maybe three members

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

alright how many rings would a single latern need to wear in order to get a better chance

would three be too much...

would 10 be overkill?

Here's a site with feats of the SS:

I really think the surfer could handle a bearer of the ring; As for several of them... I don't know, I think it's up to the writer.​

 

[ElectroFlare]

Surfer could drain those rings like he drained the Hulk.

Then he could turn the rings into bar-b-qued chicken and have a snack.

i didnt realize how long that quote would last...

[roach]

damn I was gonna have it put on my headstone

 

[ElectroFlare]

That's not a bad idea...under that have

Surfer PWNS GL(any and all)

*Trying to stay slightly on topic*

 

[Marvin]

I think u'd have to be specific... which lanterns?

or the concept of a "lantern" in general cause by that resoning...
just give Reed Richards a ring and make him a "lantern"

 

[Speedball]

I'm gonna say that it would take all the Corps, two Supermen and a female Kryptonian from anoher universe and a Martian. Oh yeah, Mogo would have to be there too.

 

[Elijya]

but what does teh physical size of the ring bearer have any effect on the amount of will power they posess?

It wouldn't, but it would effect their imaginations, the other factor in using the rings.

If Hal Jordan can use his ring to move something the same size as him, couldn't a planet with a ring move another planet?

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

but if one being felt moving a object the size of a planet was necessary, wouldn't they all also feel it was necessary and act in the same manner.

in an all out battle, surely scale wouldn't be a limiting factor against a human sized latern.

if you need to hurl a planet at surfer, you're going to hurl it, no matter what size you are. I would think a latern would do what he must.

also what does the size of an object have on its effectiveness...

even if a human sized latern wouldn't construct something on the scale of a planet, wouldn't a construct of something smaller but more dense be just as effective?

 

[Genesis 1.0]

I think that what Elijya is trying to say is that the scale on which each would think is vastly different. A human Lantern or humanoid Lantern would think on one scale, but who can say what scale a sentinent planet would use? For instance, when Mogo was visitied by Kyle and those aliens were drilling and draining it's resources, it created an entire race of creatures in the hundreds of thousands in order to attack and drive them off. Mogo wasn't even thinking actively then, he said he'd lost himself and simply reacted reflexively. It wasn't till Kyle brought him back by reciting the Green Lantern oath that he gained control of himself again and ceased creation of the creatures.

Now if he created an entire race of creatures in that mass number without actually thinking, imagine what he'd do when he puts his mind to it. THAT is what would make this match impressive.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Surfer vs. any individual Lantern: Surfer wins. Reasoning: Although Lanterns are all theoretically as powerful as the Surfer in that they can do practically anything, every Lantern subconsciously limits himself to some extent. Faced with a being as powerful as the Surfer, I think anyone would be pretty scared and doubt their own abilities, which would lead to further limiting of the Lanterns. So the Surfer takes it with relative ease against just one GL.

Surfer vs. the entire Corps: Corps wins. Reasoning: Kyle was more powerful than the Surfer as Ion, and Ion is all of the Corps' power channeled into one person. Take that power and put a 7,000+ to 1 advantage in manpower behind it, and I think it's pretty clear the Surfer would get pwned. Numbers count when each Lantern can do about half the stuff the Surfer can on his own.

Personally, I think the Surfer would tax himself quite a bit against a handful of Lanterns, like say 5 or 6. Upwards of ten or a dozen good, well-trained, resourceful Lanterns and the Surfer's toast, let alone the entire Corps.

 

[rigel7soldiers]

There was a GL from Daxam. I think maybe he could take the Surfer, maybe.

I stand by Mogo, though because Moore and Gibbons created him.

 

[JesusOfNazarath]

If he can beat Kyle, he can beat Hal, John and Guy just as well.

That was rookie Kyle. Rookie Kyle wasn't really any good.

 

[JesusOfNazarath]

Surfer could drain those rings like he drained the Hulk.

Then he could turn the rings into bar-b-qued chicken and have a snack.

Lanterns have the power to drain things too.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The question is, would the ring override the Power Cosmic, or would the Power Cosmic override the ring? My guess is the latter. One's willpower in energy form, the other is the energy that fuels the entire universe.

Welp since we know what happened in IC with sbp

Spoiler

killing 30 sum odd Gls and 2 with his super breath

i think its safe to say SS would easily win and it would probably take legion of lanterns to win. Kyle wasn't even close to defeating SS he lost twice.

 

[JesusOfNazarath]

I dunno, Dr. Doom's robot stole the power cosmic from Surfer with a machine. Anyway I think Kyle would put up better fight now though. It'd be cool.

Here's some of Kyle's feats if anybody wants to check em out. In the the third link Kyle recreates his power ring. I thought that was pretty cool.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, Dr. Doom's an unparalleled genius. I doubt Kyle could even begin to conceive of a machine that would actually steal the Power Cosmic from the Surfer, and I doubt the ring would be able to fill in the blanks and do it for him given that the PC is a totally alien power source to it.

Measuring one character against another by measuring how they've each faired against yet other characters is never a good indicator. The Surfer's lost to Thor multiple times, but I still believe the Surfer is inherently more powerful than Thor.

 

[owenstar]

Surfer is just sick...plus he holds back...all the damn time

SS pwns the GL

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

it seems that people are giving the general view that a few laterns may give the surfer some trouble.

i wonder then how many laterns do you feel would be able to rumble with galactus
