Green Lantern Squad vs. Silver Surfer

[The Arbiter]

Norrin has marked the planet Mogo for destruction. The lanterns have 72 hours to find and kill him to stop Galactus from showing up.

RULES: Norrin can hide or run away as a tactic, but he cannot retreat more than one pluto sized orbit away from Mogo or the planet will no longer be "marked".

Mogo cannot leave the system.

Lanterns get a full Rumbles style breakdown of Surfers abilities and feats for basic knowledge.

The Lanterns tasked with finding and killing Norrin are:

Kyle Rayner
Hal Jordan
John Stewart
Guy Gardner
Sinestro (green ring)
Kilowag

Can they track him down somewhere in the surrounding solar system in the 72 hours provided? Can they defeat him if they do find him? Or will Galactus feast?

[The Arbiter]

These are POST CRISIS lanterns btw. Sorry for not specifying

[The Chou Lives]

If they know so much, they know how ****ed they are.

A thousand wags?

Can Norrin take that many wags?

Are there inhabited worlds in the system that the Surfer could just turn himself into some random inhabitant of and wait it out that way?

I mean he just needs to find an icy/frozen world. He can turn himself into snow.

[Pendaran]

Right. I'm basically saying, he has a variety of potential "this never gets to be a fight" options.

I was thinking more like gas giants and martian landscapes

Why not, for sake of argument, discount things like turning himself completely into a rock in some asteroid field type stuff, they can 'see' him, though he may very well be intangible/unattackable. So, that's still a big problem. It's a lot of area to cover, like looking for a specific spec of sand on the ocean floor, I mean, just 'finding' him would be a challenge in itself. I'd argue, cause this is comics, yes they'd find him and maybe have a few hours, say 1-6, left to take him down.

In this case, again what the hell do they do against his intangibility?! He pops that and just whistles dixie until Big G comes along for his afternoon snack.

Lanterns have affected intangible beings before as well as become intangible themselves. It's rare, but has happened.

Of SS caliber?? I mean, there's someone like say kitty pride, who does wear down/tire out, but someone like SS can be intangible virtually forever and in various frequencies/degrees). But let's say that they can, effectively force him out of it/hit him. I still just see SS outclassing the GL corps, in virtually all categories and by a good margin, but it would be a fun fight to watch!

What Arby said, but also point of order: this isn't comics. A rumbles scenario doesn't hinge on showing up at the most dramatic moment. The real question is whether or not the rings and Mogo can collectively come up with sort of sensory array that can lock onto the power cosmic.

Of course, even if they do, speed isn't equalized. Surfer should be able to feel them coming with his cosmic awareness and just jet to the other side of the solar system before they can close in, perhaps opening a black hole to cover his escape like he did in Annihilation.

I could buy the Lanterns being able to do some auto targeting nonsense if Surfer was restricted to a smaller area, but they aren't going to be making a solar system sized net to catch him in. (Heaven's Ladder not withstanding I guess.)

Edit: I guess technically if they can find him, John can target him from that range and they can do the Mogo death star thing with him aiming, as had happened a few times. But given those vast distances and Surfer's speed I'd think he'd just dodge it.

I also wouldn't peg a single shot being enough to kill him. Damage him, probably but ... boy is mad durable.

[Pendaran]

I think that between hiding as terrain features and fleeing, he should be able to just run out the clock without it really ever getting to a fight.
