I mean surely they knew the power the kryptonians have under the yellow sun so why not use that to their advantage? Also doesn't the power of the rings hurt Superman when used against him because its green I was wondering if it had the same affects as kryptonite.

I believe that Krypton had a Red Sun, so a Kryptonian would not really know what to do. Just like Sodam and the Daxams had no real grasp of their full powers. I know of an Elseworld were "Superman" has a Green Lantern. Also, the ring is not made of Kryptonite nor is it magic so it effects him just like everyone else.
Now Alan Scott could mess Superman up.http://www.facebook.com/gljosh

They explained Hal and the boys weakness to Yellow and why it came to be.
But how the hell do you explain wood?
Is there a wood entity?! lol.

In GL: Legacy Hal reveals to Tom his emergency strategy to take out the entire Justice League. He hints that he could make green kryptonite if he wanted (though his actual plan to defeat Kal involves fear).
I think he could do it so long as Kal doesn't get the drop on him (easier said than done).

Yes, but we've also been lead to believe that you have to know how to make it. Like ingredients to a cake. A few years back in Superman: King of the World, I think it was called, Superman was starting to see dangers before they happened because of a villain who had control over time and space. As a result, he was everywhere righting wrongs where he had no jurisdiction. You know, the whole spiel about how he and the League do not involve themselves in global affairs that involve politics.Originally posted by Space Cop View Post
Anywho, the JLA decided to step in and throw Superman a beating, or, I'm sorry, 'apprehend him so that he wouldn't cause anymore damage to himself or potentially harm others.'
Good luck.
Superman started kicking everyone's asses. Batman tried to use a synthetic form of Kryptonite, only to have it destroyed in front of his eyes, because it was exactly that, 'synthetic'.
The Martian Manhunter tried to assault him mentally, only to end up seeing what Clark was seeing and realizing that Superman was telling the truth about what was going on.
Not long after that, Orion steps in. He goes toe to toe with Superman, with each other knocking the other into another continent, punch after punch. But Superman, more passionate about his endeavors, edges Orion out slightly.
Somehow, the League gets the upper hand and manage to restrain Superman to the ground, with the combined strength of J'onn and Diana, and commands Kyle who was the only GL at the time to create real Kryptonite with J'onn feeding him the info as to how to do it. They tell him to hurry, because there'd be no way they could hold Clark forever, even with all of them there.
Kyle creates the Kryptonite, but can't sustain it, because he doesn't want to kill Superman.
Superman escapes.
Buy the books. It's all there.Last edited by The_Brightest_Day; 10-15-2010, 12:44 PM.Comment

First there was the idea that a piece of wood knocked him out and Alan created a mental block that his ring could not work on wood.Originally posted by The_Brightest_Day View Post

Why didn't the Guardians ever recruit Kryptonians?
How do we know they didn't? The Corps has millions of years of history.Comment

Pre-Infinite Crisis, Kryptonians weren't able to leave Krypton due to genetic tinkering. And a Green Lantern that can't leave his own planet isn't good for his space sector (especially if that sector includes Khundia). Especially since they didn't have two Lanterns per sector back then.
Post-Infinite Crisis, I'll go with the old "Guardians are paranoid" explanation. They want to give their officers just enough power to defeat enemies of the Corps, but not enough to provoke an uprising. A Xudarian Green Lantern is enough to keep sector 2813 clean. No reason to hand out rings to Kryptonians.Comment

After the New Krypton fiasco, I'd say it was a smart move on their part.Originally posted by Michael Heide View PostComment

On the other hand, one might argue that a Kryptonian Green Lantern might have been able to keep Zod and his men in check, preventing a war in the first place.Comment

Maybe the Kryptonians didn't have anyone with enough will? SD80's right, the corps has been around for millions of years. Millions. In all that time they very well might have had Kryptonian GLs.
But that doesn't nessesarily mean they'd all have super powers. Just look at Sodom Yat. The guy never seems to lounge around yellow suns, so he's almost never super powered. And the same would hold true for Kryptonians.
Kryptonians being bound to Krypton is only in effect for the Post IE Superman; they changed that by now I believe. And it was never in the Silver Age.
The GL ring could kill Superman by making Kryptonite ... but it'd also be blocked by anything yellow if we're talking about Silver Age GL. Sometimes you need to know the molecular structure of Kryptonite (as Kyle had to I believe), but sometimes you don't. I doubt Tom did in Last Will. But Superman can be hurt by sufficient strength as well, bo in GL terms a sufficient will can hurt Superman.Comment

Is their any record of daxamites being GL's either? Before Sodam Yat? They are a highly xenophobic species.
My reasoning is that no kryptonian had the right qualities to become a GL.Comment
