Would you rather a Green Lantern Ring or the powers of a Kryptonian?

During Marvel's Civil War, did you go for Pro-Reg or Anti-Reg?

Difficult question really. If the Green Lantern Ring didn't come with the attachment of stupid blue midgets with non-sensical plotlines I'd probably go for the ring. If not, it's pretty hard to mess up with Kryptonian powers. I mean Kryptonite doesn't really exist and you can do basically anything. You could be the ultimate superhero in many ways. Overall, I'd probably pick the Kryptonian powers. But I think I'd make a better Green Lantern than Superman.
Anti-Reg, though I consider the entire plotline to be some of the worst writing to exist in any medium. It's baseless Bush-era allegory that ruthlessly ignored established character's personalities to suit a wafer-thin plot. If Marvel comics should retcon any single thing out of existence I'd say it should be Civil War. Regardless of which, everything that happened in it was undone within a year so I guess they don't need to.

Also, if you were a member of any Lantern Corps, which Corps would you be a part of and why?

Batman: Year One for sure. Dark Knight Returns may have been good story-wise but in terms of character design I really wasn't feeling "Fat Batman". Year One has everything.
Definitely Green. The others just seem imbalanced. I'm not an imbalanced person. Letting a singular emotion control your life is utterly destructive, even if it's something happy like love. Love with nothing else turns to obsession. Love is meant to compliment your life, it may even define it. But it's not supposed to control it. Things like rage and fear are already destructive, having them consume you just makes the destruction more permanent.
Will isn't an emotion. People writing Green Lantern (Johns especially) make things up as they go. The guy called "Life" and "Death" emotions. No, they're states of being. Will is an attribute that can be fueled by emotion but a person doesn't need to be emotional or feeling a certain way to be driven and focused. Will is a quality that can exist independently of feelings. That is why it's balanced. Balance is justice. Justice is the ultimate goal of anyone who feels injustice and everyone at some point feels injustice. This is a worthy thing to devote your life to.

Is the Green Lantern ring the most powerful\useful weapon in the DCU? Are Green Lanterns really above Superman? |

Painkiller Well, in general everyday use, yeah I would say they are. A competent Green Lantern should wreck Superman. They are supposed to be able to move faster than him and creating Kryptonite should be well within their abilities. Geoff Johns seems to have forgotten any use for a GL Ring aside from firing blasts and creating giant boxing gloves but that's another issue really.

(If you're getting bored with Green Lantern related questions just say so.) Could a compotent Green Lantern beat the Justice League by themselves? Also, is a White Lantern ring more powerful than a Green Lantern ring? |

A Green Lantern, no matter how good should still go down to The Flash.
A White Lantern Ring is a plot device. Nothing more or less. It's power is to retcon character deaths and kill an otherwise unkillable enemy. That's it.

Range of powers, probably Green Lantern or Martian Manhunter. Threat level I'd say The Flash.
Batman is probably their most useful member though. For all the muscle provided by guys like Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern etc none of them are especially good at problem solving or deductive reasoning.

What version of Batman: Arkham City will you be getting?
I'll hopefully have the Steel Box edition pre-ordered for me, for my birthday.
