That would be a better rivalry over Bats/Hal.

Given their insane power levels, I would duck for cover when they got tired of bickering, but refused to walk away.

He's not a leader in the traditional sense, but people look to him in time of crisis. Using that same sport analogy, John of course would be the captain, and maybe the point-guard whose level-headedness helps keep our boys in line. Kyle would be the shooting guard who can score 3-pointers which could be used as a trump card to help turn the game's tide. And Guy...well, let's just say he's that loud and trash-talking center who protects the basket with everything he's got, and also commits a lot of fouls.

Actually, I figured Hal would be more of a shooting guard, like Kobe or Reggie Miller. An obviously talented guy that folks either love or hate.

I think John would be a cross between Derek Fisher & Magic Johnson.

Guy is Dennis Rodman.

They did interact a bit in Action Comics Weekly! The interaction went about what you'd expect

Yep, Priest and Bright did those issues with Captain Atom.

I wonder, if it ever came to an argument of whether to kill a villain or some type of villainous force, what side all the Earth Lanterns would fall on?

Though I would imagine it would also depend on who was writing them at the time...

I think it was just a commission or something. Wish it was from a series... that would have been epic...

Well Hal and Kyle were always traditionally no-kill.

Guy went for as much violence as he could get away with and I have no doubt he'd kill if he could have

Johns the only wildcard in my mind. His personality shifts hard between writers....

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Off the top of my head, Tomasi had John be more willing to "do what needs to be done" but Van Jensen had him be staunchly against killing. Johns had him supporting the Corps. being allowed to use lethal force.

Guy killing when push comes to shove seems a little more consistent, even if there's been examples of him refraining from doing it.
