Which MCU Character could potentially become a green lantern?

So in this scenario, Hal Jordan dies in the MCU, possibly killed by Thanos.

The ring then flies away to find a new wearer.

Who becomes a new green lantern and why?

Realistically it'd go to Thanos.

Cap or Strange most likely

Baby Groot.

Lol ^^. Groot with a ring is Dangerous. Based on will power Thor. But he has what he needs. Vision perhaps could use it wisely for a boost. To me he fits the bill mostly

@thordinson: Baby Groot would wear it like a belt lol

Generally it goes to the person with the most willpower and either A) the ability to overcome great fear, or B)not having fear. I would think the person most like that would be Cap.

For green? Spiderman and Cap.

@kgb725: i'm assuming you go with Thanos because of his will to become the most powerfull?

Richard Rider, probably Rick Jones, hmmm Groot's a nice choice too. Oh, Vance Astro.

EDIT:

Oops, Probably Groot, Cap, Hawkeye, or (unexpectedly) Drax

Coulson

Dr Strange

Phil Coulson

Lol cap is easily the best choice imo. Honestly yes probably be better than hal

Obviously Thor or Vision. Green lantern ring has just about the same requirements to use as Mjolnir. You need to be pure of heart, have strong and non-corrupted will, be free of fear and lust for power and so on. In other words - worthy. Ring would most likely choose Thor since Vision is partially a machine, and maybe MCU Cap since he was also able to make Mjolnir move.

Is this whole pure of heart and lust for power a new thing? I mean, Sinestro certainly wasn't either of those things and he was a Green Lantern before he was a Yellow Lantern.

Samuel L Jackson

It would be cap or spiderman

@thoromdil: so Thor is much more 'purely good' and 'willful' than cap? okay. though, considering Cap can't lift Mjolnir I guess that's fair enough. Mjolnir is like 'goodness meter' of MCU after all.

and Cap did hid the fact that bucky killed tony's parents. while Thor still believes in his brother for redemption.

@bruceveidt: He also went out and did it so yes

Cap by far.

Thor would also be top pick.

Lol at the Spider-man comments.

@yosefscion: well it's weird to me too. In comics Cap was able to lift Mjolnir and in the movie he wasn't. I guess maybe the whole Bucky situation and civil war made Cap compromise some of his unbiased goodness for friendship and Mjolnir could feel that. Anyways if Thor is more worthy then Cap, he is probably a better pick for the ring too.

@rr79: I think Sinestro was originally a good pick for lantern, but he became corrupted over time. Once ring chooses you it doesn't abandon you anymore even if you change your attitude. That's how Sinestro was able to wield the ring while being an asshole at the same time.

If I am not mistaken Sinestro was semi corrupted from the beginning. I seem to remember something about him wanting to rule his planet from the very beginning, but I could be wrong about that.

It definitely wouldn't go to Thanos, I remember it being a legitimate plot point in the comics that to overcome fear, one would have to have fear in the first place and generally they go to someone virtuous and strong willed. This is Cap to the letter.

Captain America

Cap is the obvious answer, and I think definitely the best answer.

True, and the wording has nearly always been 'you have the ability to overcome great fear'. If it was the absence of fear that would dictate where a ring went, Darkseid would likely have attracted all of them.

Cap does seem like the best bet... and he has the power to overcome great bullies too :)

Captain America

Well i think Cap has the majority for now, anyone else?

This isn’t a battle.

@thoromdil said:

yeah. but it made Cap seems more 'human'. not just a living symbol like Supes in comics (Supes seems to be moral guideline for humans. if Supes say its good, everyone would likely follows)

I vote for Matthew Murdock aka Daredevil. He overcame great fear to become the man without fear. That sounds like Green Lantern material to me.

@yosefscion: Mjonir isn't like GL ring at all, or are you saying that freaking Hela is more worthy than Cap ?

Cap. That whole "I can do this all day" scene from Civil War is pure will and determination in my book

@thegerudoking: in fact my marvel lantern set up goes as follows(I know all of these aren't in the MCU but whatever):

red: hulk

Orange: Norman Osborn

Yellow: punisher(or wolverine)

Green: Daredevil

Blue: professor x

Indigo: silver surfer

Violet: either Betty Ross or Jean Grey

@ldm said:

well, by shown 'feats' it looks like Hela is less 'willful' and 'determined' than Cap because as another had pointed out, Cap even when he's far weaker than opponent, still didn't back down. no one seems managed to push Hela to the edge.

Mjolnir seems to choose decent guys so far... other than Hela. so Hela might have participated in its creation.

Idris Elba

@chattepuncher: ayyy

Winter soldier

Not a battle.

Matt Murdock!!!

I can think of a lot of candidates although I wanna say Hawkeye.

Bobbi or May from Agents of Shield

Not a battle
