TheGreen Lanternis one DC superhero with a long history . While most citizenry are more familiar with the Hal Jordan adaptation of the hero , theoriginalGreen Lantern was actually a man named Alan Scott who gain access to a magical lantern and ring . These items allowed Scott to tapdance into the mystic power of the   Green Flame   and make headway nigh illimitable power .

These powers made Scott a powerhouse against even DC ’s most powerful foeman – but like any bully power author , Scott ’s tintinnabulation had a major weakness that could be uniquely overwork by one specific Marvel superhero !

At first , it would seem that Scott would be more than amatch for any Heron in any universe . Not only does his ring admit him to pilot , throw away up protective shields , and create energy construct like other Green Lanterns , it grants Scott a host of other powers as well . In the yesteryear , Scott has shown he can move objects with his ring , unfreeze items , overhaul through walls , and even shrink objective . Moreover , since his ring guide from a dissimilar power seed than most Green Lanterns , Scott ’s ring does not have the common vulnerability of Green Lantern rings , such as a weakness for the color yellow .

However , Scott ’s ringdoeshave a separate weakness – it can not affect anything made of wood . While this seems like a eldritch helplessness to give a superhero , it prove to be one Scott had to constantly defend against – for while his energy shield could shrug off the most powerful bullets , it would n’t break off a simple wooden pointer from penetrating it .

As a result , Alan Scott ’s Green Lantern would be about defenseless against one popular Marvel superhero – theGuardians of the Galaxy’ssentient Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree - man Groot ! As a livelihood Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , Groot is basicallymade out of Natalie Wood , meaning Scott ’s most potent attacks would think nothing to him . Moreover , Groot can form wooden weapon system out of his body and throw them at Scott , meaning this Green Lantern would constantly have to be on the defensive attitude against his opponent .

allot , Scott might be capable to use his other power to launch an attack against Groot ( alternatively of directly attacking the tree , he might be able to shrink the reenforcement structures of heavy nearby objects and make them tumble onto Groot ) , but Groot ’s own strength and speed would facilitate him guard off such tactic as well . And onceGroot gets his handwriting onthis Green Lantern , it would be game over as even super - powerful enemies have a hard time taking on Groot .

Amusingly , Groot ’s advantage over Green Lantern is so enormous , that even his “ weaker ” physique – includingBaby Grootand Teenage Groot – would likely be too much for Scott to address . Baby Groot ’s smaller size would make him a much harder target , and his ability to grow tenacious wooden tendrils warrant he ’ll be able to ensnare theGreen Lanterneventually . Alan Scott may be powerful – but once he faces off the Guardians of the Galaxy ’s tree - military man , he ’ll lie with whatrealpower is !
