The original Green Lantern, with powers of a different origin, also has a weakness. His? Wood.
How does that work? Is it like Superman is to kryptonite? Or that his power won't work on wood. Which still seems awfully limiting.

Franny and Isaac are gorgeous.

It doesn't work on wood. There's a camping trip story where this and yellow are factors.
Shoot, DX, Matt, either of you remember who all was involved and who wrote it?

IIRC, in the very first GL, it was specified that the ring only worked on things made out of metal, but not on non-metal. Later the non-metal thing got changed to wood.
We just had our office June Birthday party. We had cake.
It wasn't very good cake, but still, cake.

You all know this is just PORN, right? You know that, right?
Green Lantern, goes out to the woodshed, powerless against the wood, and then gets a golden shower, so weak he falls to his knees, and then the pizza boy comes in...

It probably came out while I wasn't reading comics, so I can't help. The only camping trip I ever remember was Hal, Ollie, and one of the Guardians camping when they were taking their trip to discover America, right after Ollie lost his fortune and first grew his beard.
The one that makes me laugh even more than the yellow is the guy who's weakness is fire. (Martian Manhunter? I think?) 'Cause really, how does that possibly count as a superhero weakness? That's a totally normal thing to be hurt by!

But the problem is this: not very good cake has many calories as excellent cake. Better to use those calories on mouthwatering goodcakeness.
Isaac and Franny are total cuties.
Mmm, now I'm in the mood for a good piece of yellow cake with white frosting, my favorite. Either that or pie--triple berry from Baker's Square would do nicely right about now.
