This is a battle between two hardened space policemen, but there can only be one! '''There can. Only. Be. ''ONE! LET THEM FIGHT!'

Powers and Abilities: Firelord's Powers and Abilities vs Kilowog's Powers and Abilities. Looking at these two guys' powers and abilities, they are fairly even in feats, but I feel like Firelord's abilities have the slight edge in almost every category except when Kilowog's ring is involved. Both have impressive feats of strength, but I feel like Firelord has done the more impressive things comparably to Kilowog. Same goes with the durability and speeds; Firelord has him slightly beat in those categories as well. Now, when you count Kilowog's ring, it kinda changes into a whole different ballgame. Kilowog's ring adds a myriad of factors of how this battle is going to be decided as the ring has limitless potential depending on the user and Kilowog is no slouch when it comes to using it (he created life using it, for Pete's sake!). Then if you involve the combo of Firelord's senses with his cosmic energy manipulation, it adds even more factors to this fight. But I think that combo is deadly enough and gives him the deciding factor that will give him the win in this fight here. Firelord is superior here.

Edge: Firelord's Powers and Abilities.

X-Factors: As you said, poor Firelord, Kilowog has the edge in every category other than experience which isn't as viable as you'd probably think. Firelord may keep him alive for a bit, but Kilowog's intelligence and his creativity will provide something that Firelord couldn't really keep up with. To be completely honest, I think the training part here is completely irrelevant when it comes to experience and Firelord has loads of it. But Kilowog has the better weapon, which I think that will give him the win here.

Edge: Kilowog.

Overall Verdict: Now it's time to decide the victor and I think I'm going to give it to Kilowog here. Firelord had a slight edge over him in practically everything in powers and abilities, but almost all of the x-factors went to Kilowog and yes, Firelord had the experience advantage. But I don't think that will be enough to beat Kilowog. Whoever wins the X-Factors, in my honest opinion, practically has the battle won as they might control the whole fight without their opponent even suspecting so, and I feel like that's what Kilowog will be doing in this fight. Controlling it and feeling out his opponent to find his weaknesses. Firelord will put up one heckuva and it may nearly cost Kilowog his life, but Kilowog will barely scrape out a win. Kilowog will be victorious!

Verdict: Kilowog.
