Daxamite power levels are identical to Kryptonians, except Kryptonians store the power of the yellow sun and remain fairly powerful for a short while even when back under a red sun, whereas the Daxamites lose their powers instantaneously under the red sun, and of course Kryptonians are only vulnerable to kryptonite, Daxamites to lead.

Daxamite power levels are virtually identical to Kryptonians, the only difference is their weakness.

Salieri - Some reason when I read that, it made me wonder if Yat has the old lead allergy that Mon-El had/has. I guess the ring would protect him from it if he did/does.

Adam- In my opinion, the the whole invulnerability vs. GL ring would depend on the willpower of the ring wielder and how imaginative they where. Could Mogo affect a Kryptonian on a cellualr level via the ring?

Sounds like a good forum topic to me! LOL

Yes indeed…who knows, maybe the Yat/Welling battle will decide the outcome of the war…

“…at least a temporary resolution to the ‘Will Ranx blow up Mogo?’ question.” It seems like that was a fairly permanent resolution to me.

You’re right. Sodam is TWP ‘counterpart’. But correct me if I’m wrong, but TWP is technically a pre-Crisis powered Kryptonian?

Forgive me for my ignorance, but is a Daxamite as strong as a Kryptonian? I know they’re distant cousins, much like the Vulcans and Romulans, but are they equal in power. (I read all the Hero Histories, and you keep saying Kryptonian-level power, but I just want to make sure that they’re equal)

The question is can the GL ring, with its now lethal force update, hurt someone who’s invulnerable? If not, then it’s going to turn into a slug fest, and if TWP has the armor on, I’m going to give him the edge. Unless Sodam gets some KPL (Kryptonian Power Level) backup.

That would be great. I’d love see that smirk knocked off of his face!

I’m expecting the rewriting of the Book of Oa to lead to the Red Lanterns, as the Johns written Booster Gold alluded to on the blackboard. Most likely the anger and hate going along with the killing will factor into this at some point, maybe corrupting the green will based rings. At the very least, there should be some fallout to the Lanterns lethal force. Was happy to see Arisia not resort to lethal force.

“Y�know, it just occurred to me that Sodam Yat is the natural choice to keep Tom Welling Prime busy�”

That’s very true. That should be one hell of a fight. I thought Killowog shot Arkillo in the face in this issue, but he’s apparently still alive. I keep thinking of the JLU espisode when Kyle asked to be switched with John Stewart. One of the little blue leprechauns says something like: The Green Lantern Corp is a para-military unit dedicated to the peacekeeping of the Universe. You’ll just have to deal with it.” Or something along those lines. As far as the lethal force initiative, will they be able to put the genie back in the bottle? Yes, but not without reprocussions…

I just picked up today’s issue of Green Lantern, it is indeed awesome. Yet I must say, Countdown’s schedule really spoiled the effect of this issue.

I’ve seen that noted a few times. Interestingly, it’s the Daxamite “Sodol” Yat who was supposedly going to be the one to kill Superman in “Twilight of the Superheroes”…
