Which Lantern Corps is Supreme?

[hclixinarcadia]

With the release of DC 75, viable Lantern Corps teams may now be formed.

Are the new additions to the Blue Lantern Corps, Red Lantern Corps, Violet Lantern Corps, Orange Lantern Corps, and Indigo Tribe strong enough to overcome the more established Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps?

What about the Black Lanterns and White Lanterns?

Should a War of Light ensue, which Lantern Corps would reign supreme above all others?

[azbat]

First view, comment and vote.
Stick with the classic. Green

[carnage666]

Violet Lantern Corps would win as love conquers all!

[MattPetersen]

If we're playing Golden Age, then I give it to Green Lanterns.
Modern Age, it MIGHT be a tossup between Green and Yellow depending on the point build.
As of now the one thing that the Green Lanterns lack, which REALLY REALLY irks me are, LOW POINT LANTERNS and CLOSE COMBAT FIGURES.
We really need some low point Lanterns to help flesh out GL teams. The Sinestro Corps has quite a few different lanterns UNDER 100 points that offer many options for team building.
And while we do have the new Guy which helps the GL team for close combat, he lacks a really good defense for someone who will be up close and personal. Arkillo is a beautiful and low point brawler that the Sinestro Corps can be proud of.
I'd like a new Kilowog to fill this void. One that can go toe to toe with Arkillo!!!

In the end I'll still say Green, but it might be due to bias ;)

[CowboyBebop]

With all the tk, support, and regeneration; I give it to the white.

[charlesdward]

My personal vote would go with the Sinestro Corps, mainly because most of them are sadistic psychos. And they can still reason and think, unlike the "GRAAAAAH" Red Lanterns. Plus they're my favourites (read into that what you will).
In reality though... it would likely be the GLC because, hey, the good guys always have to win in the end (...I say through gritted teeth).
And I'm not so sure the fanbase would be so accepting of having the GLC destroyed... yet again. Then again, they could just revive the Corps by "discovering" they weren't killed after all... yet again.

And in HC terms... again, the SC... because they could easily Outwit (Manhunters, yay!) all of the White Lantern healing stuff. And they have the Anti-Monitor.

[specialmagic]

With all the TK, regen., "Live" power, and auto-healing of the white lanterns, I think they would be the team to beat.

[afinley2429]

black cannot win for they are all dead (meaning gone, beaten)

[2Face]

In Heroclix and comics, I would go with the White.

Good poll!:cool:

I think the Corps that would have the best chance is either: Green, Yellow, or White.

MY VOTE THOUGH IS: GREEN!!! :d-indomitable::d-indomitable::d-indomitable:

[darkjacen]

My vote's for the GLC. In clix they may be lacking in the close combat department, but if it's golden age they're a bit more competitive. Even in modern age, thanks to the five we got recently they're a lot more playable.

A close second would have to be the White Lantern Corps. All that mobility and a guarantee that you can't 1-hit KO them (not to mention all the healing options available to them) make them very powerful.

[zero214x]

I love the sinestro corps and the Black are beatsticks. But I would heve to give it to the whites because the whole corps does things great and each figure has a good ranged and close game plus the 1st lantern deadman can pull the others to him when they're in trouble.

[airdomin8]

Why isn't there a "Brown" Lantern?

[Hellfire117]

[HauntWrigs]

Has anyone actually played against the new White Lantern Corps pieces? It's re-donk-ulous. I mean, seriously. In a 4-player team game, I sent my whole force against the Hal Jordon and it took my whole force. Thankfully, my teammate held its own against our other foe. But man, seriously.

[omnimon177]

Sinestro Corps for sure simply because of Anti-Monitor, Guardian of Fear.

[daemion]

sinestro corps.

[crazymike2501]

whichever dc comics writer gets paid the most money says wins...

or are you talking about fan...dumb???

useless...

[da_turtledude]

White Lanterns all the way. Then Green.

[HapPolnareff]

In game?

Sinestro corps>White lanterns>Green lanterns>Black lanterns>Red Lanterns>Everyone else

Maybe Blue deserves a mention, but I don't know.

[crownroyal578]

Red, based on what is currently available, and assuming a set point build. Loaded up with penetrating damage and damage reducers, these guys are impossible to put down, though a good Sinestro build would give them a run for the money.

They'll burn you all - that is your fate!

[NicMonsteR]

the indigo tribe will pwn everyone's face's j/k

i actually voted for white, lots of tk good dmg, they almost all seem pretty good.

[DarkLordVerjal]

The GLC the best? Is that a joke? They have maybe 6 good pieces, and 4 of which are Hal. All are high point pieces.

Sinestro Corps has low points(60-70s) for support, Lyssa Drak who is honestly one of the best pieces in her point cost for what she brings to the table. They have a EXTREMELY powerful Collosal piece, a variety of Medium and High cost pieces, and Superman Prime.

They have variety, and versatility.

White Lantern Corps are the new kids on the block, so and have some new-agey spiffy healing powers. But, they have no upfront Outwit, there is only 11 of them, most of which are 140+, and only 2 pieces that are less then 100. Animal man being 83 on the team you can honestly work with, but Ice is awful. I see them as being second best, but they could never beat a Sinestro Corps team. Their attacks aren't overly crazy, and all it takes is a single outwitter to make them a joke. Sure, you stop turning when they hit their regen, but then ANYONE can hit them for 1 with a 15 for the Kill.

See, and this is why polls like this one are bias. No offense sir, but you are my example. People who aren't exceptionally good at the game, who play a veteran player, and suddenly that piece that guy used is the Cat's Meow. NO WAY it should have taken your entire team to drop Hal, unless you have a thing for a team of Lian Harpers or something equally amusing.

[PhoenixFire]

Sinestro Corps all the way! :laugh:

[adam1der]

White Lanterns win. Besides the fact that they represent life itself, there are twelve members(including Sinestro and Deadman) and they have back-up from the Brightest Day clix thanks to Deadman for a total of 18 members.
They have the largest numbers out of everyone IF you use Highlander Rules. Otherwise, Green Lanterns kill with their numbers.

[DrugSex]

My heart says GL but my brain says WL... So i choose WL.

[taskmaster3030]

sinestro corp no doubt!

[mkweaver]

I voted Green, because the company lets Hal Jordan win in the end every time, even if it takes a couple years... :ermm:

Oh, you meant in Clix!

I think if it were Highlander rules with no points limit, Green wins due to sheer volume. If there are point restrictions, it is probably Green or Yellow, but at 400-500 I think it could be more just who runs WL Hal on their team (since he is the Rainbow Lantern that can keyword any of them in a game).

[Hellboy]

NOK

Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur,
Natromo faan tornek wot ur,
Ter lantern ker lo Abin Sur,
Taan lek lek nok -- Formorrow Sur!

[VikingRS]

Clix-wise this is a little tough. In a choose X number of clix regardless of point value vs a point system I think it actually might go to the Sinestro Corps either way.

Green Lanterns are all expensive in points (for any X)

But the SinCor can bust out the new Sinestro, Mongul, AA Grod LE, Crisis Sinestro, Prime and Sin Bats.

While in a point system there are more low cost Sincor members that the GL's would get out action'd.

At at 155pts I think that WL Hal could be effectively replaced by 2 SinCorp members on that team.

In the end though, we need more Lantern Generics like the Zamarons. One for each color. Heck, even Orange could have Generic construct clix.

[Darmonoth]

In comics i am going to go with Orange! Larfleeze kills all! he should have been even more powerful in clix. so in clix i pick black.

[Goldeeh]

In comics or in clix? In comics, RAGE wins! Did you guys see how much damage Red Lantern Vice did before he was put down? I HATE the Guardians (except for Ganthet, of course).

[broodwarjc]

Sinestro Corps all the way. The new Mongul brings pseudo-indomitable for one piece on the team possibly every turn, the new Sinestro brings high damage and attack penetrating damage, Primr brings big hypersonic beat-stick, lyssa brings cheap tk-perplex-outwit-brilliant tactician, LE Grodd brings secondary tker-barrier-psy blast-pulse wave, scarecrow brings good attacker-cheap perplexer, ect... There is almost no bad piece with the Sinestro corps keyword, heck the old Vet Sinestro is still good. White lanterns are nifty, but really the healing options on half or them are lame and rarely happen, the LIVE power at the end is seriously overrated, most of the times I have fought white lanterns I hit them exactly on to that clix and then finish them off, most of them are 7 clixs deep, as long as you plan for that they are easy to beat.

[Mister mind]

in 1000 point builds the 4 black lanterns (5 with scar) took a ton of punishment from the sinestro corps, I kinda underextemated them but with 7 members with outwit....and penetrating damage every where!!!

there way more powerfull than 1000 points of the white lanterns and you just dont have enough room for all the greenlanterns of late....

black hand countering all of 1 color kept the game competitive. and scar is kal-l's new best friend in big games...nevermind the martian controling mongul after he died to blast sinestro (mace) to kill him....great game.

no time limit...only 3 citical misses rolled the entire game. with the black and yellow lanterns (played as indestrustable)

So, it looks like we are talking Heroclix here and not comics. What point build or is it just in general for all point builds of 300 and up?

[hclixinarcadia]

Yes, we are talking Heroclix. I'm actually going to host a War of Light Tournament and the point build is 400 points Silver Age. You have to have at least one lantern but none of the other lanterns. The rest of the team don't have to be the same lantern keyword.

If anyone would like to exercise his or her team-building skills based on these build rules, he or she is more than welcome. Please post teams at:

[larthosgrr8]

i think sinestro got it. they have prime. primes eats every other corp up almost by himself! add in arkillo,crisis sinestro, and mongul and they can eat through ANYBODY! i picked red before i knew we were talking about clix. ohh and did i forget to mention they have THE BATMAN has a two panel member. batman beats almost every ring bearer by himself too. every thing that makes the other lantern nice, he can shut down. even on the sinestro corp!

[Catman25]

The Sinestro corps win for sure because they want to kill and are still able to think, unlike the red. In clix they have prime who would beat any of the other clix lantern figs.

[The Arachnid]

Realistically? The Black Lanterns win. Everyone dies. It was only through the efforts of all the other corps that got the black beaten. If we are talking every corp for themselves? Always, always bet on Black. :) Now clix wise? Though a green fan, white looks to be a contender.

[Hellboy]

If we're talking game, not narrative, then I change my vote to Sinestro Corps as well.


but still... NOK anyway.

[TheGoodReverendJLang]

The Red Lanterns win, due to the sudden appearance of double super dooper rare Vice!!! Opponents would be fooled by the zero range on his dial, only to fall to his attack SP "Spit Fire!!!" which grants him Pulse Wave as if he had a range of ten and four damage!!!

Plus, did you not see the issue where Atrocitus had HIS HEART RIPPED OUT OF HIS CHEST AND PROCEEDED TO CONTINUE KICKING butts :cool:

(In a game of clix, gotta give it to the Green. Too much firepower and options, especially with all the new "can use this power as a free action" love they got in 75th)

[agrippa1737]

Cuz Wizkids be racist!!!1 :cheeky:

YES!!!
Proof: One white lantern (green arrow?) has special power "white flight" and of course there is a character named black panther.
Kidding

Merry Christmas everyone. My stocking has a few clicks in it I here (my 4 year old can't keep a secret).

[Wombatboy]

In the comics it would have to be Green Lantern Corps, of course. The comic is called "Green Lantern" after all. In game, I'd say probably white for now, based on numbers and the sheer ridiculousness of those pieces.

Why isn't there a "Brown" Lantern?

If Red Lanterns throw up blood on people would you really want to see what Brown Lanterns would do?

[Ro-gan]

Green. Of course.

[vamroc]

It's The Black Lanterns all the way
Scar
Black Hand
Kal-L
Martian Manhunter

Objects
Black Lantern

That's a vicious team

[Mr. Cranberry]

If Deadman...Aliveman?...is on the White Lantern team then the White Lanterns have this easy. No other team can send everything they have in an all-out attack and then retreat back across the map.

Add to that each figure has a way to heal and none of them can easily be KO'd if they're not on their last click. Every other Corps is Vying for second.

very true. if the yellow have prime it's a wrap. there is nobody on any other team that can deal all the damage he does in one turn. he can put just about any other lantern on their last click in one shot. he will track you down and rip your arms off. if you tk out crisis sinestro and then prime it's a wrap. i will say green is next. why, john stewart. he's a white lantern killer. let hal ans tomar re shoot at someone and then have john get tk'd up and sharpshooter them to death.

[Fullmetalfreak94]

RRRAAAAAAAAAARRAAAAAAAAAARRGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[oEXODUSo]

Sinestro Corps! To much power! Prime and Anti Monitor plus Sinestro! There support peaces and other figs are to good Lyssa, Scarecrow, Grodd, Yellow lantern, Mongul, even Amon can tie people up and the yellow lantern for the win! If one we had a corps version of Parralax

[oEXODUSo]

Oh and Bats to

[Grumpygoat]

It depends on the point total, but I give it to the Sinestro Corps, while acknowledging that the White Lanterns might outdo them (in part because of Deadman). Individually, most of the Green Lantern pieces are good, but as a team? They just don't synergize well enough. Mostly due to their point cost. Since we're receiving another Hal Jordan, anyway, here's hoping he's built more along the lines of the Starro Hal - an effective, but low-cost figure. More along the lines of Lyssa Drak than the 150+ point Hals of late.

[y2schwabe]

Just due to the flexibility and sheer power, I give The Sinistro Corp the victory in this one. I would also give the Whit Lanterns 2nd billing.

[vamroc]

Sinestro Corps! To much power! Prime and Anti Monitor plus Sinestro! There support peaces and other figs are to good Lyssa, Scarecrow, Grodd, Yellow lantern, Mongul, even Amon can tie people up and the yellow lantern for the win! If one we had a corps version of Parralax

You know it occured to me that The Red Lanterns should try to recruit Doomsday so they would have a power house of their own. Because NOBODY does rage like Doomsday and well he'd just look AWESOME

Don't know if he 100% qualifies for the ring. (It seems you have to have some kind of unconsolable loss as a reason for you rage to be a red lantern.)

BUT, if he does? I think the universe will be a wastland :P Red for the win!

[Grumpygoat]

Here's the thing about the Corps, though: They're full of stupid.

If Hal can use the whole spectrum of rings, it means that pretty much any dipstick can use most of the rings, as apparently only the Green power ring is the one that cares about who's using it.

Meanwhile, the Sinestro Corps ring sought out Scarecrow? Really? Here's the thing: Scarecrow isn't even the scariest Batman villain, never mind the scariest guy on the planet other than Batman. The Joker is way, way scarier than Scarecrow, and any moron could make use of Scarecrow's gas.

Doomsday might be an appropriate wielder of a Red Lantern ring, but the rings will apparently latch onto any ol' schmuck that they happen upon, rather than the best fit.

How dare you besmirch Dexstar!

Also Doomsday with a Red Ring would be both amazing and scary as hell. However, I'd rather see Mr. Mxyzptlk get a ring. He'd probably get a brown one, but it would still be awesome to see.

[Count_Aight]

As others have said Yellow Corps has too much diversity compared to the others. The Yellow Lantern is just too good for a team that has a fair amount of psy blast or exploit weakness.

Yellow takes it...until we get Red Lantern Lobo:angry:

[DarkBlueAnt]

In Clix, green.

In comics, probably green again, even though blue has advantages against almost everyone.

[MEsch1974]

In Heroclix and comics, I would go with the White.

Realistically (er, rather, comic-accurate), White trumps all, as it combines the ROYGBIV, and can push the black back to its nether region tomb.

[Mr. Cranberry]

Prime would be the first target of the White Lanterns. His DV is so low for his cost it's like thinking Magog is safe from successful attacks. But if he does attack, then yes he could take down a White Lantern by himself. Except for Superman.

I know I'm being a fanboy here, but really? If you've read more of the Batman sotries that have Scarecrow in them, you'll know that Scarecrow uses his psychology (:eek:) to drive people insane with fear in addition to his gas. Considering the fact that Scarecrow devotes himself to inflicting fear upon others, he's the perfect candidate (if Batman's not available).

I want the red to win, yes I love me some rage bacon. Honestly what holds them back is the lack of range which I personally find irritating we have seen them blast #### up. To be honest I do find BF cons way more than pros. Maybe a team ability can fix it something, like what they did in wos.

As a Batman fanboy: Yes, really. Scarecrow is one of the least frightening of Batman's foes. As in, his ability to instill terror. If someone told a random Gotham citizen that the Joker was hunting him down, it'd have a much greater impact than if you said to that same person that Scarecrow was hunting them down.

And that's before we even leave Gotham. Outside of Gotham, Scarecrow becomes even less scary. He's an awful candidate.

No offense taken. Admittedly I am a relatively new player and my team wasn't all that strong. And by the end of the match I was a bit starstruck. It's difficult not to become enamored with the new pieces. After all, isn't this one of the reasons that compels us to buy the new sets?

People need to realize that new players are key to the success of Heroclix.

I will be offering lessons to newcomers at the local store in about two months and I have a question: what are the top three most complicated things to learn about Heroclix?
