Super speed? Check. Flight? Check. Oversized boxing gloves? Check.

I don't know that there's a better choice out there, for me.
That's two for a GL ring. Now, if we each had one, which one of us would win in a battle?
The one wearing a yellow jumpsuit... :P

Best line in all of television history.

PS - it was the whole belt, not just the buckle.

I remember, in an old Alpha Flight, there was a character who had a sword that was claimed to be only a few microns thin, yet was strong as a full-weight sword. I remember one scene was only a flurry of sword-strokes trying to render the fact that the person getting cut had been cut into nice, neat eighths with minimal effort.

That would be a badass sword.

Nemesis.

On a related note, in bad cyberpunk literature and games (which has spilled into comic books) I see reference to weapons only 'one molecule thick' and have to think: WTF?!?

Yep. Don't care either. Know why? Because I have kept hold of a sig for at least a couple of hours now without misplacing it. That is the taste of victory!
