Well at least if you use Major Force, you won't have Hermione end up like Alex did! That whole "stuffed in a fridge" thing would ruin the H/Hr ship.
I had the Hermione/Jade thought too, but I'm guessing she'll be more the Carol/Alex role. But if you do the "Hal from the past pops up and gives Harry a replicating ring" thing...
You mentioned the ring upping Harry's magic...are you going to have the ring able to take an emergency charge from Harry? Until the Ion story, the ring could run out of juice, just based on usage and not time like Hal's.
Another fellow comics geek, of course...I always liked the Kyle GL.

- If Force shows up, he may well end up in the fridge...
- I hated the replicating ring plot and refuse to use it on principle.
- Re: the ring running out of juice, I've decided that since the ring is semi sentient, Harry is going to order it to inform him when it gets to 1/4 of a tank as it were...
- I liked the GL concepts, who ever was in the spandex... Especially since the entire concept was a Lensman homage...
