For a change of pace...
Wow! For a change, it isn't Superman who is being obnoxious, but Hal Jordan! And he's not fooling around either, but going for the big guns! I guess this answers the question about whether or not Green Lanterns can defeat Superman. Heck John Stewart did a pretty darned good job back in Rebirth, and that was without any fancy Kryptonite. All Guy would have to do is whip out that old Porno that Supes made with Barda and threaten to broadcast it, and Superman would be on his knees blubbering. Kyle? Well, Kyle would just have to show him his magnificent buttocks. And maybe tousle his hair a bit.
I can only assume that somewhere, Jimmy Olsen, is cheering, as is Barry Allen, considering what Superman did to HIM a few blogs back!

Hey, Sally -- Superman isn't being attacked by Hal, but by an alien masquerading as Hal who also happened to (surprise, surprise) steal Hal's power ring. (I love GLs, but they are A-One experts at losing their lousy power rings.) The most interesting part of this tale is the fact that, once Superman finds out it isn't really Hal attacking him, he doesn't hold back. The alien in question gets the total bejeezus beat out of him. Hal just watches the whole fight with total amazement, and afterward says to Superman, "You're kidding -- you're really that powerful?!"
Superman's response is, "They don't call me Superman for nothing!"
There's never been a doubt in my mind that an experienced GL with enough willpower could turn Superman into a blue and red smear. Say what you will about Parallax & Zero Hour and all that jazz, but GOD how I loved that panel of Hal knocking Supes out in one punch. ONE PUNCH!
In case you forgot it...

I agree, actually. If the ring is being used by someone who really knows how to use it, then Superman wouldn't have a chance. Tom Kalmaku once took out Superman (and the entire rest of the Justice League!) with Hal's ring, based on an idea that Hal once had regarding how he would take out the JLA if he had to. (Of course, the ring was also helping Tom because it had taken a semi-sentient form [Marty Jordan], but enough of the sticky details ...)
Well...Hal is occasionally a bit of a dolt. A CHARMING dolt, but a dolt nonetheless. However, I DO think that if he (or any of the other Lanterns) really put his mind to it, he could wipe the floor with Superman. Either make his own Kryptonite, or lure him over to a nice RED sun perhaps.
And it goes without saying that Alan Scott could take him to school if he wanted to. Anyone who can pull off the sort of costume that Alan has, and make it look GOOD, is awesome beyond belief.
