There is a great misconception amongst many KMC members over who exactly can and cannot "dodge bullets"

Characters such as DareDevil, Wolverine, Batman, Captain America, etc, etc... all have managed to fool people into believing that they can "dodge" bullets... this is simply not possible, while yes, they do avoid being hit on a consistent basis, they are not actually dodging bullets, they are merely avoiding the aim of the person firing at them.

High velocity rifle fire can travel at over 3,000 mph (over mach 4) which is obviously way too fast for any non-speedster to avoid if it's on target when fired.

I've even heard people state that "Wolverine (or whoever) dodges lasers all the time" which is even more ludicrous... once again they are only avoiding the aim of the person/machine behind the weapon.

Spider-Man is another character people claim can "dodge" bullets and that he does it more often than any other character "proving" that he can... once again this is not the case... his spider-sense lets him know when he is about to be fired at and his superhuman speed allows him to easily move from that location before the shooter can even pull the trigger

I know this thread is fairly pointless... but I don't care... the growing number of fanboys on the comic forums who constantly state that "(insert name here) can dodge bullets/lasers" is mind-boggling

The characters who actually can "dodge" a bullet after it has been fired include Superman, the Flash, Quicksilver(classic), Speed Demon, etc... basically people who can move and react at the speeds necessary to avoid a projectile travelling anywhere between mach 0.5 to mach 4.5

not disagreeing on anything other then this....wouldn't SMs spider-sense in essense actually allow him to dodge bullets? i mean, if it's coming at him, wouldn't he see it in enough time to "dodge"? instead of moving out of the way before it is shot?

I like how in the first choice, if they pick it, they call themselves idiots. laughing


Anyway, people are still going to claim that Wolverine (impowered by the souls of millions of fanboys, basically making him a high level cosmic) can dodge bullets.

Plus, I also thought that Spiderman has dodged a bullet after it's been fired...

Spider-Man is slightly more difficult to slot into either group... he's at that point of superhuman speed/reactions where it's conceivable for him to do it on occasion.... He has caught a bullet before... but I would assume that it was a, relatively speaking, slow moving round

No, Im telling you that in time you wont have to!

embarrasment I guess thats why they are called COMIC BOOKS. They dont have to make sense all the time. If all comics were based on actual facts, like say not being able to dodge bullets, the comic would be kinda boring.

While I agree completely with what you're saying, I just want to say that Spider-Man actually HAS dodged a bullet that was already on it's path towards him. I'm looking for the scan now. But he was standing still, the bullet was fired, and it was still in mid-air, about half-way to him, before he started to move. I'll keep looking for it.

But you're right on about everyone else. Kudos.

It doesn't really matter if Wolverine can dodge bullets or not. I know fans argue he can to prove ha has super reaction speed or whatever but in the end it's pretty pointless.

Good thread.

Yeah, DD can hear aim and time of guns. Others can see it and dodge accordingly.

Hell, any of us could occasionally dodge gunfire just by avoiding where the gun is aimed as much as possible. Same principle in something like table tennis (ping pong). The pros don't react to the ball, they merely anticipate theri opponents next shot based on the trajectory of the paddle and the position of their body.

But Scoob's right. They're anticipating the bullet, not dodging it once it has been shot. Speedsters are the only ones who can do that (occasionally Spidey).

Batgirl has dodged bullets. No, not the aim or the person firing, she dodged the bullets effortlessly.

The red dot was on her forehead, she heard the fire and it showed the bullet going towards her almost 3 inches or so from her face and she just sidesteps it. Then, 10 more bullets are fired and she casually goes around them while they were inches from her body.

Deathstroke has done the same thing.

IMO D.C streetlevelers are way above Marvel's.

Yeah, some people don't seem to realize that one of the reasons why guns are so loud is that the bullets are breaking the sound barrier. It's good to see this type of thread here.

Punisher was shooting at him to be fair.

"His heat. Pumps" (gunshots)
"By the way--in case you were wondering--I can't dodge bullets. I can't outrun bullets, I cant otthink bullets. So, it would seem he wasn't shooting to kill me. He was shooting for me to do something like this. To get away from him, so he could bail."

You don't think DD's faster than a bullet though do you? It would be as useless as bringing up Flash getting hit by a man throwing a dart.

Not to mention the fact that Spiderman and Taskmaster have CAUGHT bullets.

And supposedly, Logan's done the same thing.

And I can't count how many times Daredevil has intercepted bullets with his billy club.

Also, Captain America has dodged bullets AFTER they were fired, just as many others have.

I agree, that they SHOULDN'T be able to. Lest they can move at Mach speeds - but that's what suspension of disbelief is all about.

To answer the question....Street Levellers CAN'T dodge bullets....but they do. no expression.

Daredevil has dodged bullets after they have already been fired. Hes mentioned that he sees them as they cut through the air and it makes it easy for him to twist and turn between the bullets.

Refer C-Master's answer:

"Punisher was shooting at him to be fair.

"His heat. Pumps" (gunshots)
"By the way--in case you were wondering--I can't dodge bullets. I can't outrun bullets, I cant otthink bullets. So, it would seem he wasn't shooting to kill me. He was shooting for me to do something like this. To get away from him, so he could bail.""

In this comic, which I have scans of somewhere, (I think it's Ultimate Team-Up, with Spidey, Punisher and DD) DD HIMSELF admits he cannot dodge bullets.

Therefore, the argument that he can dodge bullets is nonsensical.

Before you said anything. It's a ridiculous non-canon crossover where Wolverine defeated Darkness.

King KAM
Yes, you can dodge bullets, now go stand infront of a man with an AK-47 and start practicing!!! evil face

Jyppe
People without superhuman reflexes shouldn't be dodging bullets after they've been fired. And Reflexes alone won't really help that much, you need to be very fast in order to pull something like that off.

To dodge a shot that's going to be fired, you only need to move faster than the shooter can anticipate.

Besides, comic bullets are the biggest jobbers in the world. They never hit, or the shooters never aim at the guys who they're trying to shoot. And bullets always slow down when they're going to hit them. Hell, I'm sure that even Aunt May has dodged bullets..

And we are not even so sure how fast that bullet moves...it wasn't a regular one, after all...

That's a good feat, anyway...and I wouldn't put it past Wolverine to react to bullet after it has been fired, if we go by his higher feats.

All these guys have been put to shame in bullet dodging by Nightwing, however. He's insane. Dodged bullets from 20 SWAT agents, with his back literally turned and in very small space (Stairway to be exact). And that's probably one of his lesser fats.

Did anybody here ever read The Destroyer books, with Remo Williams and his trainer, Chiun, Master of Sinanju? According to Wikipedia, Marvel published several comic book and magazine series based on the books, although I never saw one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Destroyer)

Anyway, according to the books ( I haven't read them in ages) Sinanju was the sun source of all martial arts (ninjutsu, kung fu - everything is a mere shadow of Sinanju) and practitioners were the best assassins in the world. Through training, their entire nervous systems eventually adapted, until they could no longer eat meat, and they could climb straight up sheer walls, survive impossible drops, dodge bullets and run over anything without making a sound.

These were cool books, basically ripping off everything in sight, but I always enjoyed the basic premise, that one could through sheer willpower and training (basically mind over matter) do things that were normally thought impossible.

The same basic argument applies to the common legend of a woman lifting a car off her trapped baby, stuff like that.

Of course I am not saying that normal human beings can dodge bullets. But the books were a lot of fun to read!

Skilled ones can avoid getting shot, with a bit of luck. But they can't literally "dodge" them, certainly not without strong anticipation. But anticipation requires attention, which might be problematic if someone else is trying to shoot you from another angle.

Here's an interesting article:

http://martialarts.jameshom.com/library/weekly/aa043000.htm

Dodging the Bullet

Being impervious to bullets is one thing--dodging bullets is another. While it would seem impossible to be able to dodge bullets, like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, there's some history about training in the martial arts to dodge projectiles. For example, at higher ranks in some martial arts, black belts attempt to dodge thrown knives or even catch arrows. Ninjitsu, karate, and kenpo practitioners have all demonstrated the arrow catch--even on US television's That's Incredible show. But because of the incredible danger involved, catching arrows and dodging bullets seems to be still the domain of fantasy, something Xena, Warrior Princess could do, but not mere mortal martial artists.

Yet the legends persist. There's even an account of the legendary Morehei Ueshiba, founder of aikido, dodging the pistol fire of six army men in a demonstration of his skills. Common sense would tell you this has got to be bunk.

But as it is a personal account by Gozo Shioda, himself an aikido legend and founder of his own style of aikido, it makes you wonder if it really could be true:

"One, two, three. The six revolvers fired at the same time and a cloud of dust whirled around us. Then, suddenly, one of the six marksmen was flying through the air! What had happened? Before we could figure it out, Sensei was standing behind the six men, laughing into his beard.

and

Facing Ueshiba Sensei were the barrels of the six revolvers which had been fired. This far I could remember clearly, but the next stage, where Sensei had moved the distance of 25 meters and thrown one of the six marksmen, I simply could not understand. I couldn't find any explanation for other than "God techniques.""

There's so many facets of the martial arts that are just too mystical to explain, at least within the science of today. Perhaps in the future we'll understand more about human reflexes, coordination, and skills, and determine ways to amplify them to a level where blocking bullets with bracelets like Wonder Woman would be possible. But for now, these tales are just another part of the fascinating mystique of the martial arts.

There is a great misconception amongst many KMC members over who exactly can and cannot "dodge bullets"

Characters such as DareDevil, Wolverine, Batman, Captain America, etc, etc... all have managed to fool people into believing that they can "dodge" bullets... this is simply not possible, while yes, they do avoid being hit on a consistent basis, they are not actually dodging bullets, they are merely avoiding the aim of the person firing at them.

High velocity rifle fire can travel at over 3,000 mph (over mach 4) which is obviously way too fast for any non-speedster to avoid if it's on target when fired.

I've even heard people state that "Wolverine (or whoever) dodges lasers all the time" which is even more ludicrous... once again they are only avoiding the aim of the person/machine behind the weapon.

Spider-Man is another character people claim can "dodge" bullets and that he does it more often than any other character "proving" that he can... once again this is not the case... his spider-sense lets him know when he is about to be fired at and his superhuman speed allows him to easily move from that location before the shooter can even pull the trigger

I know this thread is fairly pointless... but I don't care... the growing number of fanboys on the comic forums who constantly state that "(insert name here) can dodge bullets/lasers" is mind-boggling

The characters who actually can "dodge" a bullet after it has been fired include Superman, the Flash, Quicksilver(classic), Speed Demon, etc... basically people who can move and react at the speeds necessary to avoid a projectile travelling anywhere between mach 0.5 to mach 4.5

Vamp (from Metal Gear 2) works in that way. He reacts to the actions of the shooters body right before the trigger is pressed.

Funny thing that they went this slightly more realistic route with a guy who walks on water and ressurects himself. smile

And I realized it was A LOT CLOSER to him than I thought before he actually started to move. Just saying.

So someone with 15x times reflexes of a normal human being should be able to do that?

In this comic, which I have scans of somewhere, (I think it's Ultimate Team-Up, with Spidey, Punisher and DD) DD HIMSELF admits he cannot dodge bullets.

Therefore, the argument that he can dodge bullets is nonsensical.

Well, it looks as if we are at a crossroads here because hes also stated that he sees the bullets cut through the air which allows for him to twist inbetwen them.

Its not just his spider-sense that moves him. Its his physical speed. His super reflexes help, as do his spider-sense but if he couldn't move so fast then it would all be pointless

Again, it isn't the reflexes that enable him to dodge. Reflexes allow him to know there is a threat faster and percieve situations better but without the speed necessary to dodge them then you have nothing

Aye, maybe he has and you know I dont like him (no offence Tooth). But report him in such threads rather than in here where he has done nothing wrong IMO.

I might pm digi and ask him whether it is considered spamming, because this has occured to me a few times this week and im not 100% sure but it'll be good to get it cleared up. then if it is considered spam report all you want, but if it isnt drop it.

You know something? Damn im sure we'd all be mighty embaressed if our wives/husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends etc. knew that we got into such passionate debates over comic book characters on an internet forum confused

Yeah I think that no-one of the people can straight out dodge bullets, fired from point-blank range of course. But from a distance maybe, and those with skills or powers to know when or where someone will fire.. Well i dont know if they count or whatever. But no-one except proper speedsters are capable to full on dodge them IMO

There is a great misconception amongst many KMC members over who exactly can and cannot "dodge bullets"

Characters such as DareDevil, Wolverine, Batman, Captain America, etc, etc... all have managed to fool people into believing that they can "dodge" bullets... this is simply not possible, while yes, they do avoid being hit on a consistent basis, they are not actually dodging bullets, they are merely avoiding the aim of the person firing at them.

High velocity rifle fire can travel at over 3,000 mph (over mach 4) which is obviously way too fast for any non-speedster to avoid if it's on target when fired.

I've even heard people state that "Wolverine (or whoever) dodges lasers all the time" which is even more ludicrous... once again they are only avoiding the aim of the person/machine behind the weapon.

Spider-Man is another character people claim can "dodge" bullets and that he does it more often than any other character "proving" that he can... once again this is not the case... his spider-sense lets him know when he is about to be fired at and his superhuman speed allows him to easily move from that location before the shooter can even pull the trigger

I know this thread is fairly pointless... but I don't care... the growing number of fanboys on the comic forums who constantly state that "(insert name here) can dodge bullets/lasers" is mind-boggling

The characters who actually can "dodge" a bullet after it has been fired include Superman, the Flash, Quicksilver(classic), Speed Demon, etc... basically people who can move and react at the speeds necessary to avoid a projectile travelling anywhere between mach 0.5 to mach 4.5


Yeah, yeah, yeah, "it's only comics." But the thing is, comics may not have to make sense with real-life physics, but they DO have to be internally consistent to be entertaining.

I completely agree with you, and this issue is even more inane when it comes to dodging laser beams. If nothing else, how does one see the beam coming if the "give-away" light from the beam moves no faster then the beam itself? This, of course, says nothing about the speed of the electrochemical impulses needed in order to react fast enough.

Technically, even Superman should not be able to dodge a laser beam. And the only reason I might give it to someone like Wonder Woman is because one could argue (though this has Never been stated in a comic) that her magic is enabling her to perceive things superluminally. But again, this is pushing it.

The better interpretation, as you've aptly phrased it, is that they are avoiding the attacker's aim. Hell, how else could Batman dodge Supergirl's heat vision (yet he get's caught by her freeze-breath!)

Ahh, comics...

wolvertooth
if we take all the feats of the characters then they are very very few who should do it, i mean spider-man right? can dodje bullets? but gets hit from people that are not near to be fast as bullets? you want to tell me he can avoid bullets mach 3 but cant avoid kraven,scorpion or even black cat???

Hasn't spider-man himself said he can dodge bullets and other stuff.

Actually, yes. Answering flaming with more of the same is never a way to solve it.

And there's usually a valid reason that it starts in the first place. 90% of the reports I get come from people who won't look in the mirror occasionally when they accuse others of being unecessarily rude.

So yeah, I realize you're not the only one at fault. But if everyone could just stfu and start acting respectful, we'd have a better time at this.

My thanks, if anyone's willing to comply.

...

P.S. Posting scans that differ from something you posted isn't spam. It's called a counter-argument. This thread has come up in the reports about 6 times today...at least make it worth my while.

Bullets tend not to change direction to hit the person they are fired at.... but it's not liked he got floored by Molly Hayes or anything

in one of wolverines mini's from a few years back he took on some mafia guys in jersey, and when he was at the top bosses mansion the guy had a throne room of sorts, and in front of the throne he had a collapsable floor that revealed a lion's den that he would let his enemies fall into..anyhoo wolvie had just barged in the place in the first place so they started letting off,and from point blank range he dodged most of them

and really old school mini circa early 90's he stormed a building filled with yakuza guys and they were shooting at him with full auto rifles in the dark and he dodged them all and gutted them
