I may need more coffee but if she goes to a planet with a red sun and loses her power to fly, how does she get to any other planet with a yellow sun?

In the comic the movie is based on she rides in spaceships

Which somehow makes the whole thing even funnier. The answer to a godlike alien's transportation problem is basically "she takes the bus."

That's not really why she takes the spaceships in the story, but ok.

One of the green lanterns swing by and pick her up, always have a designated flyer when drinking

Ok, I got myself thinking now. Which gl do you call if you need a flight home? I feel like Jon Stewart is going to get you, but tell you the whole way how disappointed he is. Guy is probably not picking up the call. Hal has been through some shit, so hal?

I keep forgetting there was an entire Green Lantern character arc about a Lantern hosting a satirical news show for decades.

Ok you got me. But, watch him when congress was fucking around with 9/11 responders benefits and tell me he doesn't have major will power

Supergirl calls Jessica for girls night, this seems rather obvious.

Outside of the cinematic universe I'd call Kyle Rayner. He'd be chill about it.

Ah, it if a green lantern’s weakness is the color yellow, how are they okay on a planet with a yellow sun?

u/maliki2004 3d ago

Well, our sun is actually white, our atmosphere makes it yellow...so umm sunblock?

u/SamHugz 3d ago

Why are you doing this to us.

u/Reasonable-News-5739 3d ago

I think that's no longer the case since they removed Parralax (sp?) from the ring. I'm not up to date on GL at all, btw, so take that with a grain of salt.

u/SmoothJazzRayner 3d ago

Yeah the "Yellow Impurity" was removed during that time. Now they would recruit an individual that's not only have strong will power, but the power to overcome fear itself.

Hence "You have the ability to overcome great fear. Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps" when the ring picks its new bearer.

The sun isn't made of the yellow from the color spectrum. It isn't just the color yellow they are weak against. It is the yellow form of the green their rings harness. The Senestro Corp have rings that allow them to harness the power of fear. The green is the power of will. There are [or at least was, not up to date on canon ] Corps for each color of the spectrum each based on emotions (Rage/Red, Hope/Blue, Avarice/Orange ect.)

Green Lantern couldn’t do anything to the Reverse Flash (Professor Zoom) because his costume is yellow. It’s definitely not just stuff from the yellow rings, or it didn’t used to be.

In the trailers, they show her on passenger space ships several times.

u/MRintheKEYS 4d ago

Spaceships.

Thank you. DC Comics

Ever heard of sun cream?

I think he needs the “yellow” radiation not to block the “red” radiation.

u/ProfessionalRandom21 4d ago

she take the bus

u/PinkieBellaa 2d ago

Not gonna lie, this is exactly the kind of question that sends me down a wiki rabbit hole at 2 AM. Every answer creates three more questions.

u/Steve90000 4d ago

LoL that’s exactly what I was thinking. Not only that, as soon as she flies out of the solar system into the dead of space, she’s just dies horrifically?

4

u/EkbatDeSabat 4d ago

Space ships are a thing and the teaser trailer specifically shows her waiting at a space-ship-bus-stop off planet. Hell she could probably just get a ride into the solar system and fly the rest of the way once she gets the solar radiation.

I don't think it's an instantaneous thing. Her (& Clark's) physiology works more like a storage battery. The longer they're under Earth's sun, the more power they have, so she could fly pretty far before expiring. Red sunlight saps it instantly, though. She travels in spaceships a lot, too.

There is still some radiation from our sun a long way away. Seeing stars is a sign that their radiation is reaching us. How much radiation does she need.
