While you and
@Roadtrip635 continue pummeling the Green Lanterns with lemons
, it should be noted the Hal Jordan re-imagined superhero's ring was created in the late 1950's. The character's creators probably did not give much thought into the yellow impurity weakness as what was conceived for his predecessor, Alan Scott. That guy's
magic ring weakness was
wood.
It would be great if Grant Morrison, the guy behind the 1994 explanation of the power ring yellow impurity, would somehow find this thread and start posting in it. One of his best quotes was, “People say kids can’t understand the difference between fact and fiction, but that’s <expletive>. Kids understand that real crabs don’t sing like the ones in
The Little Mermaid. But you give an adult fiction, and the adult starts asking really <expletive> dumb questions like
‘How does Superman fly? How do those eyebeams work? Who pumps the Batmobile’s tires?’ It’s a <expletive> made-up story, you idiot! Nobody pumps the tires!” (

That guy would have been using that word to describe me a LOT for things I have argued, like why are some character's eyes drawn as a solid color? No irises or anything? How the heck do they see?
Morrison: "You're an
IDIOT, DE."
Me: "Sorry Mr. Morrison."
