This isn't spite at all. Thor is the only Lantern-level threat on the Avengers team.
THANK YOU!
I really think most of you are seriously underestimating the Green Lanterns. Yeah, I'm a fan, but I am strictly unbiased when it comes to this sort of thing. A Green Lantern has the ability to :
- Protect themselves (or whatever else) at all times with a force field
- Create an infinite array of weapons of any type they can imagine
- Fly at the speed of light (faster, when using a trans-luminal conduit)
- Reproduce nearly any type of energy (including radiation)
- Scan life forms (& pretty much anything else) in order to isolate vulnerabilities & gather a variety of useful intel
- Use the ring's 'tractor beam' (for lack of a better term) as a form of telekinesis
- Lets not forget the somewhat over-used energy blast / laser beam thing that writer Jeoff Johns seems to be so fond of
- Emit electromagnetic pulse
- Transport back & forth between the matter & anti-matter parallel universes
- Temporarily accelerate the metabolism of the wearer in order to (relatively) rapidly heal from illness or injury
- Generation of mental "earplugs" to block out telepathic communication and manipulation
I could go on & on. Guy & Kilowog are both seasoned vets of the Green Lantern Corps. True, neither has as many feats as the headliner Lanterns, like Hal, Kyle, & John, but still, they both have plenty to demonstrate that they are badasses, especially if you flip thru a lot of the recent books - War of light, Blackest Night, Brightest Day, ect.
I love the Avengers, & I'm not saying they couldn't take these two Lanterns. Maybe they can, but it certainly wouldn't be a stomp. Remember, just because the Lanterns are outnumbered means little. A Green Lantern can create autonomous constructs of other people (Green Lanterns, other super heroes, villains, even shit they just made up) to fight for them.
Give it a second thought. No way this is spite.
