Willpower of Green Lantern: Superior to Superman?
The DC Universe is getting rather intense! Heroes are falling like flies as a mystery force saps their ability. Superpowers? Out loud. Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern we all know and adore, is likewise powerless. Still, don't panic; Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, is on hand to save the day!
In Green Lantern #13 Amanda Waller's Amazos—robots under control—are sucking the powers out of heroes. Though it appears they are losing, the Justice Society is fighting valiantly. Alan Scott senses his own power sapping away. Then, though, he performs amazing feat: he pulls his power back from the Amazo by pure will! This is a great bargain since it suggests Alan Scott might be the best Green Lantern ever!
Why is this absolutely crucial? The Amazos quickly brought down the whole Superman family! Alan Scott must thus have even more willpower than Superman if he is to grab his power back!
Alan Scott: The Original and Strongest?
Alan Scott first emerged in the 1940s. Originally Green Lantern is him! Unlike the other Green Lanterns who employ rings driven by cosmic willpower, his power comes from magic. He has shown he has serious power. Alan Scott's will is not debatable once he assumed Waller's Amazo. Being the only one able to reverse his own power, he is the strongest.
See Tim Sheridan's miniseries Alan Scott: The Green Lantern by Tim Sheridan and Cian Tormey if you would want further knowledge on Alan Scott. DC Comics offers single issues right now.
The Capacity of Willpower
The Amazos have almost killed practically every superhero in the DC Universe. The Amazos draining their rings caused the Green Lanterns to lose their powers. Alan Scott is different, though. The Amazos cannot merely suck it out since his power resides inside him rather than in an outside object.
Alan merely willed his powers back, thus it's easy to say, but it's much more than that. Including Superman, every other hero was unable of doing that! Alan is displaying REAL power instead of merely flaunting his will!
Alan Scott: The Hero Our Need
Right now the DC Universe finds it in a difficult position. Alan Scott is, however, really shining! Maybe he is the only hero able to save the planet. Although Superman often receives all the focus, Alan Scott is demonstrating his ability to save the day!

Green Lantern: A potent emblem.
Green Lantern is a title handed down through centuries of strong entities, not only one hero. Their shared one quality is their dedication to advocate for universe justice. Green Lanterns have worked with the Justice League to save Earth and employ willpower to produce amazing objects of light.
In summary
Within the DC Universe, the Green Lantern is a potent emblem of bravery and hope. Though many have adopted the moniker, their commitment to justice is unflinching. And now, the Green Lantern has demonstrated he has the will to overcome even the toughest obstacles thanks to Alan Scott.
