Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Firestorm, is that you?"

Physicality Edge: Firelord

There's no doubt about it, Firelord edges out Kilowog in nearly every physical capability, and while yes, the green lantern has shown attacks that can get into the realms of star level destruction, Firestorm casually shows off these feats. That said, it's not that hard of a difference, otherwise I would have cried foul. Our favorite grumpy alien in green benefits from scaling, since he has gone toe-to-toe with some of DC's top tiers, even though his pure feats in strength, speed, and durability have been lackluster compared to the heralds of Galactus. I'm giving an overall slight edge to Firelord, although consider this more of a tie. I don't think physicality will play too much into this, however the power cosmic user should generally be on better terms in this respect.

Weapons Edge: Kilowog

The power cosmic is certainly more destructive than a green lantern ring, however Kilowog can uses his superior creativity and versatility in his weapon to a great advantage, and should generally have better defensive options with his constructs and more varied offensive options to put Firelord on the defensive. That said, this is another close edge. We look at what the respective warriors have done with their weapons, and we can see that Firelord has consistent better feats of physical power. That said, a devastating shotgun will generally fail against a trained sniper or quickdrawing revolver, so in terms of pulling his own weight with his weapon Kilowog snags this edge.

X-Factors and Verdict

Kilowog is certainly the better fighter here. He has a more varied line-up of enemies, and planet-busting baddies like Firelord aren't exactly new to him. However, I have to side with Marvel's Herald due to superior experience, and better feats in pure destructive force. Don't get me wrong, Kilowog will give this hothead hell, but Firelord is more equipped to win a battle of attrition, and even takes several edges in the early battle if he goes all out from the beginning. Kilowog needs to focus on wearing down his opponent as fast as possible, and forcing his enemy to drain energy, and a lot of it, before he can lands enough hits in to KO or kill his enemy. And my vote ultimately says that he will, most times, not be able to. In this close battle of cosmic power, Firelord just pulls more mileage with his powers more often, and as Wass said, many of Kilowog's greater feats comes from working with other lanterns, which he won't have for this match-up. Very, very close, and awesome match-up Monkey! Made me actually have to think this one through, lol.
