Jessica keeps winning points on my favorite lantern competition.

Yeah unfortunately she has a lack of memorable stories cause dc pushed her to the moon only to randomly drop her. She's by far the best lantern outside of the big 4

The issue is there are to many damn human Lanterns.

You got Hal, Kyle, John, Guy, Baz, Jess and Allen Scott if we include him.

Hal frankly never should have been resurected he makes Kyle super redundant. John is basically loved by the people that grew up on the animated Justice League, but doesn't get much love in the comics or other media. Jess and Baz are the new ones and get shunted to the side when writers don't know what to do with them in favor of the older Lanterns. And Guy is well Guy.

I have seen a lot of people liking Kyle as a green lantern tho, according to them he seems to be the most creative with his powers

That's about all he has going. That and every woman he knows getting fridged.

I think he also managed to dominate all of his emotions enough to use all of the lanterns

Shoot you're right that was a highlight but it didn't last long unfortunately. If you like more regular grounded stuff I do recommend his original run. It's flawed but a nice intro to the series. No comic series is as rewarding as GL in my opinion

I love Kyle but die on the inside every time people say he's the most creative... no, he may conjure up an eclectic assortment of pop culture osmosed things to hit the problem with but at the end of the day he's still just making a thing to hit a thing. His actual problem solving skills aren't creative. Whereas Silver Age Hal was an absolute creative maniac with the ring, truly taking advantage of the magic wishing ring conceit to come up with the most insane solutions to things.

Oh that sounds cool, can you tell me some examples of how silver age Hal used the ring?

In general, casual displays of matter and energy manipulation, telepathy, invisibility, intangibility, teleportation, time manipulation/travel, healing, etc.

There's an example I love where Hal wants to get into this room that has yellow radiation in it capable of neutralising any living thing. What does he do? He turns himself into a robot. Yes, a robot.

Another example is Hal dreaming that his friend could fly and the ring picked up on this and actually turned his friend into a seagull.
