The One Green Lantern Who Can Solo Superman Finally Gets DC's Respect
DC is finally giving some respect to the one Green Lantern who is capable of taking Superman down all by himself. While any Green Lantern was once capable of taking out the Man of Steel by manifesting Kryptonite, that ability is a thing of the past, and it would now take many Green Lanterns at once to stand a chance against him (as was proved by the Corps' battle against Superboy Prime in Infinite Crisis.)

In this case, Ch'p's small stature is a major advantage, as he possesses a perspective other Green Lanterns don't — one which makes him
