10. Green Lanterns

Weakness: Self doubt

The Green Lantern Corps are the self proclaimed police officers of the universe. There are hundreds of beings that do their best to keep the universe safe. They use a power ring to create solid constructs to help protect and save entire races and planets and they use their power rings to do it.

The Green Lantern Power Rings are one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. The funny thing is their near indestructible constructs can be broken by the user’s own self doubt. It can cause their rings not to work or not be as powerful as it should be. Users like Jessica Cruz have overcome their self doubt and become one of the strongest Green Lanterns of all time.

9. King Hyperion

Weakness: Arrogance

King Hyperion took over his world and killed all of its heroes while he did it. When Hyperion went up against the Exiles, he lost twice. Each time he lost it was because of Blink. She isn’t stronger, faster, or more powerful than he is. What Blink has over him is humility and the intelligence to use his hubris against him.

The first time she pulled out her teleporting rock. Hyperion laughed and tried to use his heat vision. Blink teleported back to Hyperion and crippled him. The second time, he thought he was ready. He vibrated so Blink’s teleporting rocks wouldn’t work. He thought he was safe. His arrogance leads to his defeat when Blink teleports a ton of sand into his body.
