Can you even have individual Orange rings? I thought that Corps was an all or nothing deal. Full central battery power and what not.

Sorry, I could never keep the details clear....

For this rumble, Shaw gets a stand-alone avarice-based orange power ring.

Optional: Or ignore Shaw, if you must, and just do Mandy and Skull. But I really wanted a three-way.

On the one hand, Mandy is way better with rings and such. He's also trained himself, through just being stubborn as hell, into a person who can challenge Iron Man with his fists, despite being, otherwise, just a guy. That's definitely spectacular willpower.

On the other, Skull is significantly more experienced with wish-based cosmic artifacts.

Shaw is a step behind the other two.

I guess I'd give it to Mandy - he's got two edges, plus he's physically VASTLY superior, which the ring's amping ought to work with, and hopefully better than it does for Yat.

Lex Luthor was temporarily deputized as an Orange Lantern wasn't he?

Anyways, I agree this is pretty much Mandarin's fight. In addition to his previous experience with ring-based weaponry, Skull doesn't so much inspire fear, imo, as he does piss people off.
