Powers of the Ring

Flight

Unaided flight — from city streets to interstellar space.

Hal Jordan flying through space

The power

Rings grant unaided flight — from hovering over a city to crossing interstellar distances. A Lantern can outrun starships and maneuver in vacuum with precision no pilot could match.

Flight is instinctive, controlled by thought. Hal Jordan, the test pilot, flies like he was born to it — pushing the ring's speed to its limits. The ring automatically maintains life support during flight, wrapping the bearer a protective aura.

In combat, flight is a weapon. Lanterns strike from above, outmaneuver slower foes, and use their momentum to add force to their constructs. A Lantern who can't fly well can't fight well.
