Kyle Rayner has had an interesting time of it in the Green Lantern universe, pretty much since day one. Positioned as the new lead character after Emerald Twilight had Hal go insane and kill the entire rest of the Green Lantern Corps, Kyle was kinda the most powerful Green Lantern by default.

But even long after Hal was turned good again and the Corps revived, Kyle is still considered a heavy hitter among the ranks.

While he isn't nearly as strong offensively as the other entries on this list, Kyle - thanks to his day job as a comic book artist - has the most creativity when it comes to his constructs, able to make complex, intricate constructs on the fly. And despite not being the strongest of his peers, his combat skills are nothing to sneeze at either. Remember, this dude was the ONLY Green Lantern out there for a very long time.

And it's a good thing that the Green Lanterns are the ones who found him first, because as was shown during Green Lantern: New Guardians, Kyle is more than worthy of the other rings, to the point where he wielded every power ring all at once. Kyle is also the only White Lantern, able to wield the power ring of life to defeat Necron and the Black Lanterns.
