    ...Is it willpower or to be used needs huge amounts of willpower?

    I always thought GL's needed a huge amount of Willpower because that's how you could control the rings but I read in some posts that the green energy is the manifestation of said willpower.
    Can some experts help me with the matter? @sinestro_gl@avenging_x_bolt

    "It has been claimed in-universe that only a pure form of willpower can use the ring effectively. When Green Arrow tried to use Hal Jordan's power ring against Sinestro, it caused him great pain and difficulty because (according to Sinestro) Green Arrow's will was "cynical". It has also been shown that the user's stamina is drained with every construct. When Green Arrow fires a small arrow-like construct from the ring, he describes the experience as feeling like losing a week's worth of sleep. When he questions Kyle Rayner about this, Kyle affirms that the feeling is normal."

    Ok, thats a scene from Rebirth but it doesn't really answer my question. GA got tired because the rings need extrordinary amounts of focus.

    Batman had similar issues.

    Uts both iirc. Gl's need courage and strong will to be inducted and effectively perform as a member of the GLCorps.
