    Yat hasn't spend much time under the yellow sun. The more time he spends under it the stronger he gets. Superboy is superman from the silvar age. Silvar age Superman was like able to just extinguishes the sun with his breath.

    Superman-Prime is powerful... we're talking Silver Age powerful where he could juggle planets without pausing...

    he's easily able to push the earth out of orbit or vibrate himself through dimensions.

    Ion really didn't have a chance, Sodam isn't that powerful yet and he was thrown into the battle directly after receiving the Ion symbiote, he didn't know how to use it or what his limits were, so he got his ass kicked quite quickly.

    He'd also never been under a yellow sun before. The Guardians told him that he would be powered up and his first burst of heat vision was an accident.

    i don't understand that... because in the comics you clearly see Sodam fighting with Arisia during the battle of Mogo and Rann, but Mogo orbits a giant yellow sun, as seen in hundreds of issues lol

    bit of a plot hole there lol

    True, but the writer of GLC #18 forgot, or maybe he was on Mogo's night side the whole fight since he didn't use his powers (that I recall).

    nah. he didn't use his powers...

    also of note, OA orbits a yellow sun, as seen in Green Lantern 48 (Hal) where Superman journeyed to OA to prove to the Guardians that the Kryptonians weren't a dead race. also, bit of a strange note there, Superman and Supergirl (Kara Zor-El original) are actually declared Endangered Species and are under the protection of the Guardians... weird but true :p

    I never had the Guardians pegged as conservationists. Still, I suppose they did found the Green Lanterns.

    Sodom Yat is a real beast. The idea of giving a Daxomite (a Superman like being) a GL ring is awesome.

    so do Daxomites and Kryptonians share anything other than the yellow sun power up thing?  I think i read that Yat used heat ray vision?  I dont know too many enrgy absorbtion characters, but it seems a bit of a coincidence that heat rays manifested in both species...unless that is just a generic thing that comes with sucking up yellow sunlight...

    Interesting... 
     
    Because a lot of old (and nowadays newer) comics are linking Supes with being a GL.... 
     
    Like how Superman 1 Million Prime is the greatest GL, 853 centuries in the future, and a comic that said Abin Sur's ring was originally intended for Superman, and that the Guardians had manipulated Krypton a long time ago to ensure the creation of the perfect GL, Kal-El, but they decided to let him stay on the path destiny had chosen for him, so the ring was given to Hal (also there was a projection of thousands of potential candidates for the ring among them Dick Grayson and Guy Gardner[who did become a GL], to mainly show that Hal becoming GL was nothing special *ducks brick thrown at head from fanboy*)... 
     
    But this is nothing compard to the multiple reasons proposed for the yellow weakness (and Alan's wood weakness) before everyone settled on a cosmic parasite named Parallax.....

    Prime is another level even the whole science cells containment thing was abit of PIS. The guy is just to powerful to be written consistently.
     
    To lose and still be alive to Prime is an honour really. I wouldn't look at it in a bad way. 
     
    I would defintely say an Experienced Sodam Yat would be one of the top 10 strongest in the DC Universe. 
     
    I don't think Sodam will get a big billing in the comics though because he takes the shine away from the 'Greatest Green Lantern' Hal and the other Earth GL's by being so uber.
