WARNING: Contains Potential Spoilers for ABSOLUTE POWER #4!Superman’s greatest achievements pale in comparison. However, there is one feat by the Man of Steel that might measure up to what the Emerald Knight has just accomplished. Let the debate among the Green Lantern and Superman stans commence!

The final battle of the Absolute Power crisis event explodes in Mark Waid and Dan Mora’s Absolute Power #4, and while the finale delivers plenty of epic moments, it’s Hal Jordan who truly steals the show by single-handedly holding off the entire multiverse.

Fans following the event will that Absolute Power #3 ended with the revelation that Waller had struck deals across the multiverse, enlisting villains into her personal multiversal army. As the battle ignites in issue #4, these deals come to fruition, unleashing hundreds of villains through the multiverse portal. But when chaos threatens to overwhelm, Green Lantern steps up, pushing his power to unprecedented levels.

Green Lantern vs. the Multiverse: Hal Jordan Single-Handedly Held Off the Multiverse

Amanda Waller Unleashes the Multiverse in Absolute Power #4

As villains from the multiverse pour through the portal—including Earth-3's infamous Owlman and Ultraman—Green Lantern wills a construct to contain the breach, preventing the villains from ing through while Flash Barry Allen works to shut it down. The fact that Hal can single-handedly hold off an entire multiverse of villains is one of the most impressive and powerful feats of any DC character. His willpower is pushed to the absolute limit, which becomes evident as his construct begins to crack under the immense strain. Yet, Green Lantern holds strong, refusing to give in.

Although Hal eventually calls for reinforcements, the way they provide aid only amplifies the magnitude of his feat rather than diminishing it. The depowered Flashes—Jay Garrick, Wally West, Bart Allen, and Max Mercury—answer his call. When Hal its he’s running low on willpower, Jay responds, “Then let us add ours.” The Flashes place their hands on Hal, ‘lending’ their willpower, which strengthens the construct until Barry successfully severs their connection to the multiverse. While Hal received help in the final moments, it was still his power that held back the entire multiverse, making this an unmatched achievement.

Green Lantern vs. Superman: Whose World Ending-Save Is More Impressive?

The Man of Steel Contains a Black Hole Within the Palm of His Hand in JLA #77 (2003)

One of Superman’s feats that most closely compares to Green Lantern holding off the multiverse is when Clark contained a black hole in the palm of his hand. This took place in JLA #77 by Rick Veitch, Darryl Banks, Wayne Faucher, and David Baron, where a device housing a small black hole is destroyed, forcing Superman to contain it in his hands before it could expand and destroy the planet. Superman had to hold the black hole until he could fly into space and launch it safely away from Earth.

This parallels Green Lantern’s feat, as Hal contained an entire multiverse within the confines of his construct and only stopped once Flash severed the connection between their Earth and the multiverse. So, whose feat do you think was more overpowered—Green Lantern’s or Superman’s?
