The Difference Between Green Arrow and Green Lantern

First off, let me point out that I am a HUGH comic book fan. It is the source of my excellent vocabulary, the inspiration of this latest entry on my blogspot and the reason I still watch Saturday morning cartoons. (If they still existed.) Alas, they do not so I am writing this on Saturday morning instead. There are advantages to both you see and since it is a beautiful day outside. (cold but beautiful) I will start off with the positive. If you have ever read any of my e-mails you must realize that the word Robin is part of my e-mail address. The reason I like Robin is because he is a superhero that has no powers and must rely on other things such as his intelligence, strength of mind and his gadgets to overcome diversity and defeat the bad guys. That is why I prefer Green Arrow. He has no ‘Super Powers’ was born here on Earth, and his strength of character is his biggest asset. I will admit that he is a “Borrowed” version of Robin Hood and therefore not terribly original, but who cares. After all it is written in the first chapter of Genesis that there is nothing new under the sun so let’s get on with the next paragraph. There are some advantages to Green Lantern however. First off he can fly, how epic cool is that? Secondly, the scope his power or power ring is only limited by his imagination. In other words if he can think it up it can happen. This in many ways makes him the ultimate comic book hero. In Comic books the sky is nearly the limit for what can occur in its pages. That above mentioned fact is another reason why I prefer The Green Arrow. Since comic book characters are ageless and last as long as their fan base does why not stick to just one person donning the mask of power. (or potential) For with every group we have our winners and our losers. I personaly would rather be a Hal Jordan than a Guy Gardener. While I am a HUGH fan of alliterations there are some that are just EXTREAMLY ANNYOING! The powers behind DC Comics (They created both.) can destroy the world many times over and rebuild it all with in the same weekly publication. I have been a comic book fan for years and seen many Armageddons and epic disasters and life still goes on the DC Universe as well as my world too.
