@darkhoudini: Im short on time so ill only counter the most important stuff.
Face it or not Mongul gave Superman trouble-During the Bronze Age of comic books, Mongul was stronger than Superman and almost totally invulnerable to harm.[5][6]Superman defeated him by foiling his schemes, but only once defeated Mongul in hand-to-hand combat. Even then, Superman fell unconscious immediately after.[6] Mongul also demonstrated the ability to teleport;[5] limited telepathy and telekinesis;[6] and could project blasts of potent force via his eyes,[4] hands,[5] or chest. The character also used technology to shrink his enemies and place them in dimensional-inversion cubes designed to prevent escape by warping their interior reality and absorbing any power used against them from within.[6] The Modern Age Mongul the Elder version started off with less power than the silver age but was still a formidable foe and a capable match up against Superman on multiple occasions if, albeit, slightly weaker.
Even when Kyle Rayner had Superman help him fight Mongul, Superman struggled with Mongul and it was Kyle who took Mongul down, even though he was a rookie and had a weakness to yellow.This is even more impressive considering Superman was more powerful here than pre-death-https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_medium/14/145849/6506467-rco011.jpg
While Mongul was beating up Hal, i think youre a smart guy. Anybody can tell Hal is getting old, he was aging and less powerful than before. He also didnt even have his personal shields on since Mongul is yellow and lanterns still had the yellow weakness back then. So without any shields, an aging Hal Jordan with a weakness to yellow takes several hits from Mongul and still manages to knock him out.
Wonder Woman sent Hal back. He is still tanking it. And keeps fighting, he wasnt stunned or anything. While Diana did shatter the construct he was more or less trying to contain her and New 52 Hal is not the strongest hal jordan version.https://comicnewbies.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wonder-woman-vs-green-lantern-5.jpg Its also notable if you look closely Hal staggered Wonder Woman with a club construct.
In comparison a kick from Diana did this to Superman-https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11114/111140292/3505976-www.jpg
That looks like it hurt Superman a lot more than Hal Jordan who was sent back some feet away from Wonder Woman when she hit him.
