Hal Jordan's willpower is so strong that he can manifest it without a ring. The ring he wears is basically a construct. He made it out of his own willpower. This is a guy who overpowered Ion in base form, and Ion is the freaking source of his powers.
Before Hal Jordan, there was Abin Sur, an alien from the planet Ungara, who patrolled the spaceways of Sector 2814 until crash-landing on Earth. With his dying breath, he granted his power ring to Hal Jordan, and charged him with accepting the role of Green Lantern of this space sector.
When Hal Jordan joins the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro is assigned to be his instructor. Jordan is horrified at his new mentor's totalitarian methods, though Sinestro maintains that his iron-fisted rule is necessary to protect the people from alien forces.
Hal Jordan is among the first Lanterns to be introduced to the DCU and was chosen by the ring after the death of the original ring-bearer, Abin Sur.

Hal Jordan is legendary for the vast amount of willpower he has, which was strong enough to hold the entity of fear, Parallax, at bay inside him for years. As for Guy Gardner, his willpower is even stronger than Hal's. In fact, it's so strong that it overloads his ring.
DC revealed in an old Green Lantern comic the very dark reason why Batman will never be able to wield a power ring. In order to use a Green Lantern ring, the wearer must have an incredible amount of willpower. Hal Jordan is perhaps the most famous of all the Green Lanterns and also one of the strongest.
Before Sinestro attacks him, he discovers too late his powers are decreased due to Soranik rescuing people from being imprisoned and escaping with them. Hal then uses his energies as a living construct to incinerate the Fear Warlord, apparently destroying Sinestro and Ranx for good.
It is more than a desire for revenge against the Green Lantern Corps that has caused Sinestro to especially hate and strike at Hal Jordan. It is far more personal. Jordan was not corrupted by the ring as Sinestro was. Jordan was hailed as the greatest Green Lantern of them all.
The power of the Blue Lantern Corps is one of the strongest. They are capable of incredible feats that most other lantern corps aren't, such as charging power rings without a battery and healing the connection between a red lantern and their power ring.

The original Green Lantern, Alan Scott's weakness to wood stemmed from his subconscious belief that his powers couldn't affect the material. The later Lanterns' weakness to the color yellow came from the Fear entity trapped within the Green Lantern Corps' central power battery.
Basically, Hal is above someone (Or rather, a group of people) who's/who are above Superman. But Superman has won against him. But Hal is stronger than someone stronger than Superman.
Hal and Sinestro worked together to bring Abin Sur's killer to justice, but Sinestro became increasingly unhinged after hearing about a prophecy regarding a rebellion on his homeworld of Korugar.
Sinestro is the main antagonist of Green Lantern: First Flight. He was one of the greatest Green Lanterns in history, but he believed that the Guardians were unfit to keep peace and order across the universe with them simply capturing and arresting criminals instead of exterminating them, and so he betrayed them.
There are few beings more dangerous than Thanos. Sinestro in all his arrogance would believe he could best the Mad Titan. This is an error he wouldn't live to regret. Thanos is just too powerful for Sinestro.
He arrives on Oa and kills Kilowog, Sinestro, and all the Guardians except for Ganthet, who was protected by the other Guardians and survived without Jordan's knowledge. He then renounces his life as Green Lantern, adopting the name Parallax after absorbing the Power Battery's vast powers.
Sinestro is Green Lantern's arch-enemy. While Green Lantern's green ring is powered by his will power and courage, Sinestro wields yellow ring that feeds on the opposing force of Fear.
