This was posted in another forum,after this let's back to the main topic.
Green lantern wins normally but it depends on the lantern,writer and version.
HECK IF THEY WANT TO THEY COULD HAVE LOIS LANE KICK SUPERMAN BUTT AND HER SISTER.They had powers before.
Anyway a green lantern at his/her best could beat superman at his best.
Oh and edited info below.
By the way superman uses his super speed to try to stop star sapphire,but it did not work,she blasted him.Look it up.
THEY CAN SET thier ring to auto fire like john stewart did shown here below.
Info from another thread or website.

John currently sets his ring on auto fire being extremely cautious towards what Superman did to bruce.
A human may not have a reaction or speed time with a Kryptonian. That's why the ring does everything for what he wishes. John knows currently knows who he's dealing with. GL's are proven to move FTL.

GLs are basically mini-cosmics when they get a chance to get a shot off.
Sodom Yat and Mogo are likely fast and/or durable enough that they can get that move off without any stipulations.
True, I think if a GL (earth GLs) have the amount of time to use their auto shield and concentrate on their willpower to keep their shield up while supes is speed blitzing, that will give a GL an amount of time to to set their ring on auto fire and counter blitz the attack.
If I'm correct I think Hal, John, and Kyle used intangibility. I never seen GL's used Intangibility for a good defensive strategy during a battle before. Hopefully if you or anyone could tell me or can post up scans would be useful.
Mogo is a highly telepathic/telekinesis planet. I don't know if it will be a fair fight between supes and mogo.
I remembered when Superman and Batman agreed to search for kryptonites all over the world with different colored kryptonite including the blue one that contains magic.
GL's ring constructs always were fast that's why in issues like Rebirth when John went towards Supes eyes. Supes didn't react to dodge the attack. The same thing goes in when max was using his mind telepathically.
Supes noted John has the quickest draw compared to the league. I don't think in this scan John has reaction time or set his ring to do that for him. After all when Supes grabbed the martian manhunter, he didn't go into blitzing, I think it was human reaction time. GL constructs are fast enough to give in a decent fight against supes. If you notice, Supes didn't have time to move away from his construct and the construct was almost with flashes speed.
In this scan, John didn't use enough willpower that he needed to keep his construct from shattering. Supes noted he had to use all of his strength to break through his construct. One thing to note, John's willpower exceeded his ring due to his memory about his failure saving Xanshi.
If either Superman wins or GL wins it wouldn't be an easy fight, but will be interesting.
Note -The will power THAT john use that exceed the power of the ring was to bring a planet back and was shown in the 90's and he created moons.This is a great feat that no green lantern has done or matched before and since.When superman broke john construct,trust me,john was not using enough will power.By the way he does not need to use his full will power to hold superman in his construct.He just need to use enough and of course he did above but he did before and he could do it again.Hal as done too,you know hold superman in a construct so it's clear that early new 52 hal jordan is not as powerful as the early hal pre-new 52 or recent hal.
@glforthewin said:
john Stewart kinda beats superman in Rebirth (just go for the eyes) and since hal is a better lantern than John he could take superman
reply
John is the better lantern,and has the higher will power so he is more powerful besides he has beaten hal two times in the past and gave hal a recent new beat down and took over the corps.
John Stewart has a few words to say to Hal Jordan. But instead he punches him in the jaw. Meanwhile, the Lantern recruits take an unexpected stand against a personal injustice.
It’s Lantern vs. Lantern as John Stewart battles Hal Jordan for the leadership of the Corps! For months, John Stewart has let his anger build as Hal Jordan sent Guy Gardner into the Red Lanterns and declared war against other corps across the spectrum. After the devastating events of “LIGHTS OUT,” John is determined to rebuild the Corps as he sees fit—even if it means taking down his oldest friend!
Read the reviews and comments.

So john stewart did not just kinda beat superman,he beat superman period.
Clearly john stewart beat superman and supergirl and flash,and wonder woman at the same time along with other justice league members with at that time in green lantern rebirth comic..He blasted them all,but superman did not get the full blast like the others but soon after he got another blast of green lantern power.John clearly beat him,so john won.
No excuses folks.
By the way superman uses his super speed to try to stop star sapphire,but it did not work,she blasted him.Look it up.
Another point DEPENDS on the green lantern,THEY CAN SET thier ring to auto fire like john stewart did above.The only reason that i can think of for supergirl taking john stewart ring away and knocking him out with it is because he was not prepared and he had no idea that there was another supergirl and she was evil so he did not have set his ring on auto-fire and auto-protect,and besides he was using his ring to save lex.
Info from another thread or website.
Star sapphire as beaten superman too in comics and hal had to save him.
In the superfriends comic a old issue a evil green lantern well trained was going to kill all of the super friends with a green ring including superman and the good green lantern from parallel universe along with his team and the rest of the super friends together stop the evil lantern by tricking her,oh and it was a woman.
So for along time i always knew green lantern were more powerful and could win.
A rookie lantern would be less powerful however just like a rookie kryptonian,but a highly trained well experience and well prepared should be able to beat a well trained kryptonian,but it depends on will power,story and experience.
That's the facts.
Anyway hal as beaten superman a number of times too just like john.Green lantern could just blast superman to death or pound him to death.
Look what john stewart did to supergirl in the justice league cartoon when they went to the future.He smashed her to the ground using his ring.
ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT?
Green arrow said green lantern is more powerful then her,meaning they are more powerful then a kryptonian but there are folks that have excuses for that.
When hal punches superman with one punch some of the comments i read said he must be using kryptonite and he does not.
He was stronger.you could see the pic below of course he was parallax hal jordan.
Green lantern have super strength too but normally they not as strong as superman or wonder woman unless they use constructs to project power to become as strong or stronger then superman or if they have powers of thier own like sodam yat or get extra power from oa or some alien force that comes into them or they have a bunch rings or maybe have another lantern ring that's not green etc..etc..
Sodam Yat
Powers and abilities
Daxamite powers
Like their
Kryptonian cousins, the Daxamites gain a large number of abilities when exposed to yellow
sunlight including super strength; flight; super speed; super hearing; X-ray, heat, microscopic, and telescopic vision; and super breath. While the Daxamites are invulnerable while under yellow sunlight, the substance lead is still very lethal to them even in small quantities, as
Kryptonite is to Kryptonians. Due to his exposure to lead from lead shielding at a nuclear power plant and uranium stabbed into him by Superboy-Prime, Yat must wear his Green Lantern ring at all times to stop the lead poisoning or he will die within a few minutes.
Ion powers
The benevolent
Ion entity bestows its host with powers similar to a
Green Lantern Corps Power Ring and the
Starheart. With those powers, Sodam Yat has been described by some as the most powerful superhero in the universe. However, access to the powers can be controlled through his power ring, which he is required to wear constantly, allowing the Guardians of the Universe to shut off his Ion powers. In the
Legion of Three Worlds miniseries, it is revealed that being host to the Ion entity has allowed Sodam to survive, unaging, into the 31st century.
KYLE WAS ION TOO.
Even john stewart had a boost of power and became a guardian.
Hal Jordan
Powers and abilities
As a Green Lantern, Jordan is semi-invulnerable, capable of projecting hard light constructions, flight, and utilizing various other abilities through his power ring which are only limited by his imagination and willpower. Jordan, as a Green Lantern, has exceptional willpower.
As Parallax, Hal was one of the most powerful beings in all of the DC Universe. In addition to his normal Green Lantern powers, he was able to manipulate and reconfigure time-space to his will, manipulate reality at a large scale, had vast superhuman strength which he demonstrated by being able to knock out Superman with one punch, a higher sense of awareness and enhanced durability. As Parallax he still was able to be harmed nearly just as easily as a normal Green Lantern but seemed to be able to endure more physical punishment. While Hal Jordan was Parallax he was never defeated by physical force, all of his very few defeats were of a changed mental state during or after the battle, which was usually the result of dealing with his own conscience and he would just give up, leave the battle and hide himself.
Some superman or superman family fans love forgetting when he does get beat or when a kryptonian gets beaten.Captain marvel as beaten superman too a number times in the comics.
If a well trained green lantern can't beat superman the writer is not doing thier job AND THEY ARE BEING INCONSISTENT since BEFORE MANY were born HERE DC SAID YEARS AGO A GREEN LANTERN WAS MADE TO TO BE MORE POWERFUL AND THAT'S WHY THEY PROTECT MORE THEN JUST EARTH.
Kyle is a white lantern now but still a lantern and he clearly more powerful then superman in the new52.
Look it up.
Hal is back to himself in the new52 in his own comics but when they show him in the new52 at the beginning in the justice league he was not as powerful like he was pre-flashpoint,THAT'S WHY SUPERMAN WAS WINNING,but now he closer to HIS ORIGINAL POWER LEVEL and will get to his PRE-52 POWER level he had before OVERTIME IN THE NEW52.
So stay tune for more green lantern stories in the future.
They should make a movie showing that,now folks who do not read green lantern comics will have the cartoon movie justice league war hal and early hal in the justice league new52 stuck in the heads.
DC Has done green lantern a disservice.Now folks will think superman can beat any green lantern,and that's not true.
Oh and hal kill krona by using his will power to get rid of the no kill thing,so it that does not mean he use sheer will power,he just got round the no kill policy,but he boost up his will power for it,but in terms of will power john stewart is the only one that max out the ring,not hal,but hal does have high will power,but not as high has john stewart.
Powers and abilities
- John Stewart’s power ring provides him with the abilities of all other Green Lanterns; these abilities include flight and limited invulnerability.
- Stewart was briefly taught by Ganthet on how to reroute his mind to think in the 'language of the spheres'- the first language of the universe- to evade telepathic detection by Fernus, the 'Burning Martian' identity of the Martian Manhunter; although the intensity of this method meant that John couldn't use it for more than a minute without burning his mind out, it has never been specified if this means that he cannot use it again or if he could use it at some future date if enough time has elapsed since his last use of it.
- As with all other Green Lanterns, the ring is a weapon of the mind and powered by will, therefore onlylimited to the wearer’s imagination
- Like all Green Lanterns, Stewart's personality affects his ring's creations, giving them a solid, architectural quality. In Green Lantern: Rebirth, Hal Jordan remarks that "everything John builds is solid". He also remarked that Stewart is the best flyer in the Corps.
- In Green Lantern (vol. 4) #26, it was shown that John's willpower exceeds the limit of his ring (when he tried to recreate a planet from scratch), a feat that had not been depicted before this point.
- John is a discharged member of the USMC with full combat training. In addition, he is an expert sniper.
- When he temporarily used Indigo-1's ring as a member of the Indigo Tribe, John was capable of accessing the powers of all Lantern Corps rings in his vicinity, even managing to harness the power of the Black Lantern Corps by drawing on the residual Black Lantern energy around Mogo's core. John is not shown to be significantly affected by the Indigo Ring's mind altering capabilities, although this could be because he was already capable of feeling compassion.
- As well as his obvious powers as a Lantern, John has recently begun to demonstrate an ability to kill when he is certain the situation requires it, destroying Mogo in order to save the universe from the army of Krona-controlled Green Lanterns that Mogo would have created and later killing a fellow Lantern who was about to give in to torture and reveal vital information to their enemies.
moving the earth
- First, it's pretty well established that Superman has a healthy respect for Green Lantern power.
