Hal Jordan was the first human to gain a Green Lantern ring and he's had it for a very long time. In all of that time, Jordan has faced down some of the biggest threats to the universe, both on his own and as a member of the Justice League. This has given him experience that very few other Green Lanterns have.
While he was for a long while considered to be the greatest Green Lantern of all, that didn't stop him from becoming one of DC Comics' greatest villains in the form of Parallax.
Willpower Form Transformation: Hal's connection to the Green Light of Will is so great that he can transform into a construct, allowing him to channel greater amounts of power at the risk of dissipating into energy himself. Not even Parallax (Hal Jordan) (Pre-Zero Hour) could overpower Hal.
Hal Jordan, on the other hand, did not need any of these means to beat Superman. Instead, he uses the pure strength of the Green Lantern Corps, proving that a Green Lantern alone is powerful enough to defeat Superman.
1 Sadam Yat. Sadam Yat was prophesized to be the most powerful Green Lantern to ever live; however, Sadam was also said to bring forth the end of the Green Lantern Corps.
While Hal Jordan and his unique Green Lantern power ring may be special, he no longer holds a candle to John Stewart who no longer needs a ring at all, being cosmically powered straight from the source.
Space Ghost's intangibility allows him to avoid the best offense Green Lantern can muster. Even when Hal goes on the defense and forms a shield, Space Ghost effortlessly knocks him out with a concussive beam. While Space Ghost is enough to make Hal sweat, he'd probably be in danger with the Avengers' Vision as well.
The color yellow is Green Lantern's primary weakness, but he was able to use it to save the Justice League. In 1960's Brave and the Bold #30, the Justice League confronts the android Amazo for the first time.
In Marvel Comics, Thanos is an ultimate villain who needs no introduction, but when it comes to DC Comics powerhouses, the Green Lantern Corps is a group of beings who are so powerful that they could easily stop Thanos dead in his tracks.
So, his constructs on their own can withstand Superman's attacks and hurt him. Superman is able to overcome Green Lantern's power by combining his will with Batman and taking control of Hal's ring. But if Superman was alone facing that sort of construct, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
8 Hal Jordan's Greatest Weakness Is Overconfidence
However, his smarter enemies know how to use his abilities against him. Hal has moved past his ring's aversion to the color yellow but he is still known for being very sure of himself, and that's a weakness that can be exploited.
Many years later, a dying alien named Abin Sur, member of the Green Lantern Corps, crash-landed his starship in the Californian desert. Having selected a replacement officer for his position, the power ring chose Hal Jordan for his ability to overcome great fear.
Sinestro is, without question, Hal Jordan's archenemy, not just because of the threat he poses, but because of how close he once was to our hero. Sinestro was himself one of the greatest Green Lanterns, and even took it upon himself to train a rookie Hal Jordan.
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.
That depends on how they fight. If the Lanterns fights by Hulks rules in a straight up fight, then the Hulk will win, but if the Lantern is clever and uses his brain to out think and avoid Hulk, the Lantern has a good chance of winning.
Thor. Can Thor beat Thanos? In the MCU he certainly would have, if only he had aimed for the head. The Asgardian Son of Odin was extremely close to ending Thanos at the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
As Thanos discovered in Avengers: Endgame, Wanda is powerful enough on her own to defeat him. At the true height of her powers in the MCU or in the comic books, he would simply be no match for her. Her ability to alter reality would undo him in an instant.
It's also worth noting that the Green Lantern Corps once had a policy against using Power Rings to kill – meaning that while a Green Lantern might be able to manifest Kryptonite radiation and hurt Superman or any other Kryptonians, they couldn't actually kill them without violating their oath.
Although Batman is one of the most dangerous people/heroes on Earth, Green Lantern would beat Batman in a fight. Surely though, it would be close. Batman has been recognized for his capabilities and skills on multiple occasions.
Even so, taking both heroes at their maximum potential, it's practically a given that Superman would overpower Thor in terms of sheer physical strength. He may not consider himself a god, but the Last Son of Krypton can still outmatch the God of Thunder on his best day.
In general Superman would win round one easily. He could literally cut the armor off Tony without scratching him. On the other hand given time to prepare Tony Stark would give Superman a good run for his money in round two before eventually being defeated there too.
