Writer's Block: A super debate

Green Lantern. Nearly unlimited possibilities based solely on my will and imagination vs. sticking to walls and being really strong and agile. Duh.

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

That was a totally awesome Alan Moore story.

Yeah, but the science geek in me always wondered why you had to invent a "lightless region of space." Just say the species evolved without sight for some reason. A omnivore that evolved at the bottom of multiple canopy forest might not need sight in the deep gloom, especially if the local "sun" was a dim M-class or a Brown Dwarf. Incredible hearing, and a sensitivity to touch that includes subtle changes in air pressure.
