VS Firelord, one of Galactus' Heralds and former Nova Corpsman, annihilating all those in his way with his cosmic flames! In this battle between a Green Lantern and a Herald of Galactus... Who is deadliest?

Kilowog


"This looks like somebody I was born ta pulverize!"

- Kilowog

Kilowog is a Green Lantern from Bolovax Vik, a planet within Sector 674. A geneticist with one of the brightest minds on the planet, Kilowog was chosen as a Green Lantern when his predecessor from the same planet died in the line of duty. Receiving rigorous training and the universe's most powerful weapon, Kilowog proceeds to become the peacekeeping force's primary trainer. In his career, he has faced many intergalactic threats from Parallax to the Black Lanterns. He's also known as the trainer of multiple human Lanterns, such as Hal Jordan. A staunch ally and hero, Kilowog strives to protect the galaxy and uphold the Corps at all costs.

Firelord


"Direct your rage at Galactus, not at me... sure it will amuse him."

- Firelord

Firelord is a Xandarian Herald of Galactus and was a member of the Nova Corps. A Denarian within the intergalactic police corps, Firelord was once Pyreus Kril and a friend to future Herald, Gabriel Lan (Air-Walker). When his dear friend went missing and became a Herald of Galactus, Kril tried to find him and ended up encountering Galactus. Striking a deal with him, Pyreus became one of Galactus' numerous Heralds and sought to find worlds for his master to consume. Since then, he has been both a hero and villain for intents kept to himself.

Cosmic Staff (Firelord)
The Cosmic Staff is the Firelord's primary weapon. While it can be used for basic melee combat, it is primarily used to project the Power Cosmic to its full extent. He can do the same thing with the same power with his body, but he prefers doing it with the staff. The staff is near-indestructable and has a length of five feet. He can use this to either blast off enemies with flames as hot as a star or strike targets hard using his staff backed by his strength.

The Power Cosmic has no definite ends, allowing Firelord to keep spamming his cosmic blazes upon the enemy.

Green Lantern Ring (Kilowog)
The Green Lantern Power Ring is the primary weapon of Green Lantern Corpsmen. The most powerful weapon in the universe, as said by the Guardians of the Universe, the Power Ring channels the green color of the Emotional Spectrum. Willpower fuels it, and Kilowog's willpower has built up for a long time and never has he backed down from battle. The ring can create constructs and blast out energies of pure will, which hurts more the more willpower the Lantern has. Kilowog, having a high amount of willpower himself, can generate constructs so strong it can reach Class 100 in terms of strength.

The ring does have that well-known limitation within a day, requiring one to recharge his/her/its ring with a Power Battery. Also, the ring constantly drains itself when it's constantly used for a certain period of time. The willpower of a Lantern might be strong, but their constructs can gradually weaken when their power levels drop. For this battle, Kilowog will start fully charged.

For Kilowog's feats with the ring, see the section below.

Powers and Abilities
It is advised for voters to outright give the edge to the warriors in this section instead of going on part by part, since both of these warriors don't have the same power set.

Firelord
Superhuman Strength= Being a Herald of Galactus, Firelord possesses an immense amount of cosmic strength. The Marvel Universe Handbook puts his strength level at Class 50, but take it with a grain of salt. Firelord's strength has been demonstrated time and time again to be more than Class 50, just like Luke Cage's strength demonstration telling the readers that he's no mere Class 25. Firelord's strength numbers at around Class 85-100, with his strength allowing him to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Thor, Nova (both Richard Rider and Frankie Raye, a Herald of Galactus), and the Silver Surfer. His feats aren't many, but they speak for themselves. Superhuman Durability= The Power Cosmic enhanced Pyreus Kril's skin to superhuman proportions, allowing him to endure harm even dangerous to normal superhumans. As of other Heralds of Galactus, Firelord's skin enables him to travel through the rigors of space unharmed while also giving him protection against immense trauma. His body, although energetic, is solid and has a defense mechanism that automatically incinerates most projectiles before they even reach his skin. This is mostly attributed to his flames, however. Nevertheless, durability is one of Firelord's strongest points. Flight and Superhuman Speed= Since feats of Firelord's ground speed is nonexistent, this section will mostly cover his flight speed. Firelord is easily faster than light and can maintain such feat for days. His speed is comparative to those of the Silver Surfer, who has traveled from galaxy to galaxy within minutes. He can use a star's gravitational field to break his speed. Superhuman Senses= Endowed with cosmic senses, Firelord is able to use his cosmic awareness to locate objects or persons of interest. Even when something or someone is cloaked, his senses can tell him where it is. As a demonstration, he can sense a speck of dust in motion a million light-years away. With that said, sneak attack isn't the best choice when dealing with Firelord. Cosmic Energy Manipulation= The strongest power Firelord has. With the Power Cosmic within him, Firelord is capable of manipulating large quantities of cosmic energy for a variety of purposes. He can both project and absorb energy, create flaming loops, bring a rain of fire, and manipulate flames itself. His energy level is equivalent to the outer layers of a small star and his energy blasts usually hurt the most.
 * Deflected the Mjolnir with his staff, thrown at him by Thor. The deflected hammer would wreck three trees as a result.
 * Knocked around numerous stone creatures that acted as Ego, the Living Planet's anti-bodies. These anti-bodies were weaker than Firelord individually, but they're still superhuman nevertheless, and Firelord defeated swarms of these things.
 * Defeated multiple Asgardians and fought Loki physically. Normal Asgardians are Class 25 in the strength department while Loki is around Class 70-100.
 * His strength is comparable to those of Thor's and Hercules'. When Thor tried to restrain him, Firelord managed to free himself and kick the Thunder God away. In a separate occasion, the Herald successfully stalemated the Thunder God's strength.
 * Survived a backhand from Thanos. The Mad Titan's backhand basically feels like the impact of a meteorite, or even worse.
 * An enraged Thor punched him and failed to do any damage.
 * Got blasted across the solar system by a full-power fusion of two powerful Novas, Richard Rider and Garthan Saal. Both of these Novas were easily planet-level threats and surviving a blast from one of the strongest power sources in the universe was one thing.
 * Tanked taking his own energy blast reflected by Sanctuary II, the Mad Titan's ship. He crashed into a nearby moon and recovered relatively well, albeit dazed until Ravonna came in.
 * The heat of stars mean nothing for him.
 * Withstood an entire assault from the Phoenix (Jean Grey). Jean attacked him with the primal fury of the Phoenix Force. She blasted him to buildings, showered upon him cosmic flames seemingly equal to his own, but all she did was annoy Firelord who ended up returning to Professor X, pissed off.
 * Endured and withstood an onslaught from Classic Drax, the Destroyer. Classic Drax was far more powerful than the Drax we all know today and has the power to rip small stars and strength equal to those of Thanos.
 * After Jean Grey blasted him to a building, Firelord immediately recovered and flew to the Phoenix's location within seconds, quickly firing another blast at her.
 * Reacts to Thor's Mjolnir thrown at close range, quickly deflecting it.
 * After days of trans-light travel, he reached Earth. Not the best showing, but he's still fast in the demonstration.
 * Revealed a planet hidden by Designate, a being with power comparable to Odin's, using his cosmic sense. On the same planet, his sense extended to the point that he could feel that the planet's inhabitants were all dead.
 * After scanning the energy of the Illumination Stone, he could locate the Thanosi (a group of Thanos clones) planets away. He also said that he could sense a speck of ice fall off a hurtling asteroid two million light-years away.
 * Located Sanctuary II by sensing its electromagnetic energy.
 * Attacked Sanctuary II with the power of a small star. This kind of power was the one that Pyreus got hit with in the durability section.
 * Destroyed one of the Annihilation Wave's motherships that were enormous. He would later destroy both smaller and equal ships alongside his fellow Heralds.
 * Tanked an attack from Tarakis, a Thor-level being, and countered him with the blast as hot as a star.
 * Released cosmic flames from his eyes fast enough to reach Galactus' ship within moments.
 * When the Silver Surfer got a dose of Firelord's flames, he hinted that he couldn't take much of them without absorbing or redirecting them. This is impressive, as he could withstand supernovas easily.
 * Set someone on fire by just touching it.
 * Matches the Mjolnir's energy projection with one from his own staff.
 * Rained cosmic fire upon Seekers (Annihilus' hit squad composed of beings with power equal to the Heralds themselves), killing them and saving the Surfer.
 * Absorbed Supernova's energy release alongside the Human Torch, flying to the upper atmosphere to release it. Johnny got knocked out when he released it, but not Firelord.
 * Destroyed a meteor the size of a planet.
 * Reduced an alien's head to ash.
 * Destroyed a barrier made by Loki alongside Iron Man. While Iron Man was depleted, Firelord's still good.
 * Encircled Hercules with a loop of fire.

Kilowog
Superhuman Strength= His strength tied to his willpower, Kilowog is superhumanly strong compared to humans. He is one of the strongest Lanterns in existence and his strength signifies so. Although admittedly not the best in the strength department, he's still strong and mighty. This section will cover his pure physical strength, not his constructs. Superhuman Durability= In addition to his natural superhuman durability, the energy field generated by the ring also enhanced his overall toughness. His skin is denser than human skin and can withstand planet-level attacks. Kilowog is one of the most enduring Lanterns out there, and he can take whatever punishment that comes to him. Superhuman Speed= Every Green Lanterns are capable of interstellar flight with immensely fast speeds. Kilowog by no means is fast, even though he has a bulky frame. He doesn't have many speed feats, but his most notable feat is having him fly around the entirety of a planet within less than a second. Power Ring= This particular section includes feats done by Kilowog via his Power Ring, counting as feats of variable categories. I decided to just add this section because the power scope of a Power Ring is just way too big. Kilowog could perform even more feats of power included within the ring itself, but he prefers going directly in combat. For the fullest extent of its powers, click this link.
 * Defeats Green Lantern villain and Herald of Nekron, Black Hand, with no ring at all.
 * Caused a shockwave by simply jumping.
 * Matched the strength of his Sinestro Corps counterpart, Arkillo. Arkillo is known to be a physical contender to Mongul, who in turn is a Superman villain with strength equal or more than the Man of Steel himself.
 * Fought Superman to the Moon, giving him no chance to react by continuously beating him up. He then stomped on Superman. During the fight, he clearly gave the Kryptonian pain. He did wear two rings at the time, but what difference did that make? The ring's strength enhancement only applies to one's constructs.
 * Held off a group of beings strong enough to defeat the Guardian, Ganthet.
 * Was said to be equal to ten Manhunter robots. The Manhunters were devastating to Green Lanterns themselves, having superhuman strength mostly beyond normal Lanterns.
 * Survived and withstood having his own planet, Bolovax Vik, blew up on his face. It's also revealed that the ring automatically protected him from the blast, showing how powerful his automatic shield could be.
 * Endured being stabbed by a yellow spear construct and beaten up by Arkillo.
 * Sodam Yat, a Daxamite (the Kryptonians' cousin race) Green Lantern, knocked out Kilowog by blasting him with his heat vision. Knocked out, but nevertheless he survived.
 * Survived a black hole.
 * Created plant life from Earth.
 * Sealed multiple metahumans in a bubble they couldn't break.
 * Sealed 16 billion life energies (or souls if you want to call it) of his entire, dead race into his ring. With this, he gained the power of an entire planet similar to those of Mogo.
 * Held off both Guy Gardner and Isamot Kol, two experienced Lanterns altogether.
 * With help from multiple Corpsmen of different colors, Kilowog destroyed a Black Lantern planet.
 * Pulled out two rookie Lanterns and a space-ship from a black hole moments before they're sucked in.
 * Resisted mind control from Parallax, the Fear Entity. This mostly stems from his willpower.
 * Imprisoned Parallax alongside Kyle Rayner, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, and John Stewart.
 * Disabled two fighting Green Lanterns and deactivated their rings temporarily.

X-Factors

 * Firelord takes the edge in experience. With Kilowog being introduced later than Firelord, the Herald of Galactus has taken on more threats than Kilowog has. You may tell that Kilowog's been a Lantern for a long time and has faced beings such as Black Hand, Nekron and his Black Lanterns, Superman, and even Parallax, but Firelord has undertaken more rigorous tasks and threats. He has fought against and alongside Hercules, Thor, Silver Surfer, and the Avengers themselves during Infinity Gauntlet and separate occasions. The Fantastic Four has fought alongside him, but wait, Kilowog has once been a member of the Justice League International! Oh, Firelord has something more than that. He fought in the dreaded war of Annihilation where he fought more than a few beings that were at the same level as him. Not to mention that Firelord was once a substantially-ranked (Denarian, to be exact) officer within the Nova Corps, which is the Green Lantern Corps' equivalent in Marvel.
 * Kilowog definitely gets the training edge here. Firelord's Nova Corps days were shrouded and we have not known of what his training was like until now. Kilowog? He trains the finest warriors the universe has in the form of rookie Lanterns, among them being Hal Jordan who managed to become one of the greatest Green Lanterns and a powerful member of the Justice League. He sure put the recruits into rigorous and hellish training, but he also received the same amount of intensive training in the past by Lantern Ermey that actually put his life at stake.
 * Intelligence goes to Kilowog once again. In his homeworld, Kilowog was a scientist and considered a genius among his peers. Pyreus may have his quick and tactical thinking, but Kilowog's just smarter than him. He's also an alien specialized in engineering, as seen during his tenure in the Justice League International. Also for a record, pedagogy is within his field. Pyreus does have that cosmic knowledge within him, knowing stars and such but his main thing is wielding the Power Cosmic.
 * Again, Kilowog gets the creativity edge. This is a no brainer. Being a Green Lantern requires you to use your very imagination to survive and contain the situation. Kilowog is no exception. In addition to being a veteran Lantern, Kilowog's usage of his Power Ring is nothing to underestimate. Imagination varies from Lantern to Lantern, but Kilowog is one of those Lanterns who represent the group's creativity itself, alongside Kyle Rayner who is probably the most creative one among them.
 * Poor Firelord, Kilowog gets the edge again. Firelord's Cosmic Staff is a powerful weapon, similar to Terrax's Cosmic Axe and (strangely) the Silver Surfer's board. It can project the very Power Cosmic contained within the Herald's body, but the Green Lantern Ring has more versatility in it than the staff. Kilowog uses his ring primarily for direct attacks, but that doesn't make him unable to perform feats other Lanterns can do, such as sealing black holes and using it to identify threats, their weakpoints, complex contraptions, and even cures for dangerous diseases.
