Anyone know the basic powers of each ring? Then we could present it as a math problem, ending with "=All Freakin' Powerful".

The full set of Lantern Rings: greater than the sum of its parts.

...What if someone doesn't understand the image? (I don't, what the hell is going on in the ones being supported, if anything?)

Okay, we can tweak that line.

"Seven superpowered rings: more powerful than the sum of its parts."

[up] I'd be fine with that.

I like it but "A full set of..." instead of "Seven..."? Or "A full set of seven..."?

The word "set" shouldn't be changed IMO.

[down] That also. The generic reference instead of proper name gains nothing (?) and loses a lot.

I prefer "The full set of Lantern Rings: greater than the sum of its parts."

Edit: I think it clarifes that the power rings are of a set relating to each other one way or another. In this case, it's just a name, but the act of having a name is enough to group them enough for the trope to be evoked.
