Red lanterns because they mad.

I disagree. Hard light constructs + cognition > napalm + blind anger.

I would think a Sinestro Corpsman would be able to shield themselves from the napalm blood, at least for some duration, and could easily create enough offensive constructs to overwhelm and kill the red lantern.

The only exception would be if it was a higher up such as Atrocitus, Bleez, or Vice. In that case, I don't think a single Sinestro Corpsman (not counting Ranx) would be able to win (against Atrocitus, at least. Maybe Arkillo too). However, average Yellow beats average Red, IMO.

Ummm... Sinestro himself makes a huge difference in this battle. The Corps is much more effective with him at it's helm. And Despotillis could wreck lives.

The red Lantern breath stuff cuts hard light constructs like butter, they need to dodge it. If the yellow corps are organized and employ tactics they take this easily because the red lanterns are simply incapable of doing the same, if it's just an all out bash the red lanterns take this easily.

Fair, however I think your own argument speaks for itself in regards to a fight, and the other point that I made - intelligence is big here. Red Lanterns are just blind rage; Sinestro Corpsmen can think tactically, move quickly, and use advanced constructs. I haven't really heard an argument in favor of the Red Lanterns that answers that. And can someone clarify - the OP is confusing but the second half combined w/ the thread title makes me believe this is a 1 v 1 - a random member of each corps. If it's the whole corps, the Red Lanterns may still win, simply by outnumbering and overpowering the SC, and Atrocitus is a huge bonus in that regard. But if it's a random 1 v 1, definitely the SC.

um the red lanterns are seemingly more powerful; Rage trumps Fear.. Red is used in laser pointers bc its a much harder and focused light.. plus the red lanterns have an additional ability burning blood..

actually its just gone right over your head..

yes i spoke about color strength bc u did.. but allow me to elaborate

every power ring is technically even in power out put (also based on how strong a person is under which ever emotion they possess) sense both rings are even in power output.. so instead of looking at whose better with the ring (reasons being its a battle btwn corps) we look at the additional things they get from their ring.. red grants blood that burns and connects a second heart which will keep you alive if your own heart is damaged or destroyed.. red wins

All but about 3 are incapable of creating constructs and the ring itself is a negative influence unlike the helpful computer like nature of the others. It depends on who is leading the yellow because if there organised under Sinestro or Mongul they won't lose against the mindless suicidal Reds.

actually do we even know if the other rings cant be used like the other ones??

also i think the red lanterns are stronger than most of the others.. if anything i think id take 2 or more yellow lanterns to take down one red.. atleast thats what i saw in the blackest night

I bolded the part of your response because the rest is more FYIs that I'm already aware of (I've read just about every issue of every GL comic for the past 7-8 years now). You have asserted that napalm blood + consciousness derived from the ring make the red lanterns superior but you haven't made any valid point WHY. What I said in my previous post (and shall reiterate) is that you have simply stated the obvious about how the Red Lanterns function and asserted that they win without making any comparisons. Napalm blood is cool, but there's no reason to believe that, given Sinestro Corpsmen have intricate knowledge of other corps including, at bare minimum, all of the features of a Red Lantern that a Sinestro Corpsmen would not be able to outsmart the functionally mindless Red Lantern. Advanced constructs, incredibly advanced AI within the rings, and the obvious intellect deficit give the Sinestro Corpsmen a massive tactical advantage in any one-on-one situation.

It probably can do all the same things but the ring itself is mad so it effectively works against the user when trying to think straight. In blackest night the one of the big weaknesses of the BL was they where focused on trying to remove hearts rather just kill them as quickly as possible which doesn't kill RL so they had a massive advantage against them as their rings effectively replace there hearts but that comes with it's own big obvious weakness.

well, one reds lantern can plow through many black lanterns and kill them while one GL cant

now on these next scan it shows how one GL has a red ring in addition to his green one so id say hes far more powerful than anyone with just one.. but red makes it so you cant think or be reasoned with.. also being this powerful he just easily kills a yellow lantern..

The post of RLGardner descimating BL was more an example of main character power rather than RL power. Having the abilty to talk means he wouldn't even be a typical RL.

I don't think that matters if they get hacked to pieces by thousands of construct knives/blades in a matter of seconds.

Oh, and one of the highest ranking Red Lanterns got beat by a street-leveler:

@Equonox: That scan is kinda PIS.. anyway half the RL's now are not raging out of there minds and can think. Also Rankorr is likely to be a game change to new and he seems to be the pretty powerful, he seems to stronger when he feels fear as well. In the recent issues of the RL's I think they went out and killed a bunch Yellow Lanterns anyway.

its an example of what a rl couldnt do.. in fact hes stronger than any group of lanterns as shown a Group easily gets killed.. while he alone can but yea hes a main character thats why theres another scan that shows just 1 RL taking out BLs with no trouble until the robots kill him.. but the RL is doing more than any group of lanterns especially GL, SL, and SC

Red Lanterns are cool but the Yellow Lanterns/Sinestros are cooler IMO.

As for who would win, I think the Sinestro corps would win especially if they have guys like Cyborg Superman, Mongul, Anti-Monitor etc in this fight, those guys should be able to solo most of the Red Lantern Corps.

As I always answer: if Sinestro corps gets special members like Ranx, Anti-Monitor, Hank Henshaw, or Superboy Prime, they win with some challenge. The basic Corps is destroyed.
