well, is she?

Bentley
No /thread

abhilegend
No. She doesn't even has any flight feat which suggests she is lightspeed fast.

Putinbot1
If the writer wants her to be, she will be.

Bentley
Yep, writers can make light batsh_t slow

StiltmanFTW
She's not.

shadowknight
Just light bullets are a joke in comics since street lvl heroes are constantly dodging them, laser are also jobbed out. In reality WW isn't but there's plenty of examples of her blocking laser with ease.

She's the fastest Herald in DC but her flight speed isn't on the big leagues level. An amped Superman that was powered by infinite energy couldnt touch Wonder Woman.

Pretty got darn clear she had the speed advantage here and he was powered by enough energy to hurt an supposedly universal level being once Supes unleashed it.

Which is more recent?

XLR87T3
She caught the Flash multiple times, and reacted to FTL speed characters

Wonder Woman is faster than light speed

DarkSaint85
So has Batman. Using comparison feats like that doesn't always work.

Catwoman has caught three Flashes.

XLR87T3
Street levelers vs someone who constantly fights Kryptonians. Hmm...

Flyattractor
Having a Blockbuster Movie always ups the Characters Power Settings.

DarkSaint85
Batman has consistent showings of reacting to speedsters.

To Flash, WW, Zoom, Superman... And that's just n52. Outreacts Hal's autoshields in his first appearance.

You really don't want to go down this route, lol.

The difference is, Wonder Woman actually beats the crap out of those speedsters. Powergirl and Faora have to bend knee to her, Batman constantly physically loses to Harley Quinn. How many times has WW fought Superman? She has given him a hard time almost every time they fight.

I said she out reacted Superman. That was Superman. I said he had infinite energy flowing through him and he did. I dont get what you're trying to say here. He was well aware of his abilities which is the reason he froze an entire corrupted city.

And so has Batman, almost every time he fights Superman smile.

Hell, the times WW has fought Bats, he's done pretty well.

None of them have outreacted Batman. So based on your logic, he's FTL too?

Wait...

You asked me to give you an example.

I did.

Now you're asking for more??? Lol. Moving the goalposts much??

My point remains. In comics, writers ignore power levels to write fights.

Therefore you cannot just use fights to assume power levels.

How about YOU prove something for once.

Show n52 WW, not holding back, fighting n52 Batman. You say my showing is an outlier, prove it. Show me in the n52, how WW speedblitzed Batman.

Because it was cut? He stopped fighting because the mindcontrol was broken but he was still talking abd standing. Not incapacitated by a long shot.

travel speed no. reflexive/combat-style speed i'd say yes. her speed feat vs amazo was impressive. she was shown to be faster than kara recently wasn't she or am i not recalling that right? aside from a flash, can anyone recall a time she was overwhelmed or just flat out not fast enough to battle someone...? i'm not sure this is all that complicated imo.... /shrug

Aside from Flash meaning the only person she has fought other than Clark that is actually faster than light?

Good job proving WW is a slowpoke leo, you're a top debater!

It literally says she has her edge over the others due to her skill in running.....

Then says Godspeed (the next below her) is weakened.

That's it

Yes she can go lightspeed but it's harder for her to reach that speed compared to other Heralds.

Lol... her skill is the reason she is as fast as she is. Bruce Lee Martial Artist "skill" made his hand movement one of the fastest in the world. No matter how skilled a human can get, it will not put them on the level of being able to tie up a kryptonian before he/she can react.

DarkSaint85
Ask Karate Kid lol.

But perhaps I should've clarified. WWs position on that list is due to her skill.

Of those below her, Godspeed is weakened, and Shazam runs as fast as lightning.
I'm sure you can Google the speed of lightning thumb up. Fast, yes, FTL, no

She practically solo'd Zod and Faora for a moment there (who were beating the crap out of Superman before WW showed up), and then literally treated Clark like a hostage victim because she destroyed Faora so thoroughly.

Zod could have finished Superman, and he would have had an advantage. Instead, he agreed to a truce.

Says a lot about his respect for her.

Agreed. Superman is, at heart, a farm boy who can't really understand what it means to be a true warrior. Zod and Diana at least understand that, despite being enemies.

Thanks.

Meanwhile, I've shown n52 Batman, without armour, whilst injured, being sucker-punched by an amped WW who is not holding back. Who is specifically trying to kill him:

https://i.postimg.cc/HVYd0GQB/batman35-justiceleaguefenrirplan1.jpg

Can't really call it an outlier, when so far, I have shown the only time they've fought.

So going back to my original point: power-scaling is useless. If a writer wants to show it, Batman, a street, is able to fight with WW even when she's bloodlusted and amped. If a writer wants to show it, WW can tag speedsters. That doesn't mean she's faster.

meh the mayfly fight was super short. hard to conclude anything from that. she was more trying to figure out who mayfly was. i thought the feat where she blocked that bullet from a sniper rifle AFTER it penetrated the window was pretty damn impressive. calculate the speed of that bullet and the time it would have covered the distance from the window to her bracelet and that a hell of a reaction feat.

bizarro from trinity (if that's what you're talking about) did beat the hell out of her, but i've never been sure if that was canon.

she didn't QUITE seem as fast as hermes in combat, but it was pretty close.

cheetah is a good one, but it could be argued that cheetah too has light speed or close reaction times. we saw cheetah and superman. besides, wonder woman has given almost as well as she's taken from cheetah so that's close to a wash.

i think it can be said pretty definitively she can't travel ftl--at least not on her own though she can approach light speed. i consider her reaction speed to be light speed. there are feats to indicate they could be ftl, and some that would say otherwise. after thinking about it, i guess i'll settle in the middle. she's as fast or faster than pretty much anyone not superman or flash imo.

beatboks
Post Flashpoint not sure but pre Flashpoint Wonder Woman is definitely not faster than light.

She couldn't catch or keep up with Jesse quick who is a Speedster that is definitely not faster than light Jessie has only one feat of reaching light speed when she was entering the speed force and that particular feed she was chasing her father's killer so pretty damn motivated to keep up with a Wonder Woman had to lasso her

Yeah, so what you're telling me is, she allowed herself to get cut?

I don't think you quite grasp the speed difference between a FTL speedster and a street level human, lol. EVERYTHING Ras does should be in super slow motion to her. She could parry, brush her teeth, build a desk, carve it out of wood, make a whole stack of pencils, and write her life story on that desk in the time he realises she's parried his first blow.

He shouldn't be able to disarm her of her sword. He shouldn't be able to land a single blow. He shouldn't be able to draw blood.

But he did.

According to the 'logic' of power scaling, of battle feats, this means he's strong and fast enough to duel her. A human.

Is he, IYO?

leonidas
so reverse flash wanted to get stabbed and beaten bloody by batman....? what's happening...? confused

the important thing is phil was right when he said yes, no and maybe. thumb up

DarkSaint85
Exactly.

My point is that relying on power scaling off battles alone is a bad way to go about it, because writers don't give a hoot about power levels.

Batman can tag Zoom. Ra's can disarm WW. WW can tag Superman.

Doesn't mean they're all on the same level.

I don't think you quite grasp the speed difference between a FTL speedster and a street level human, lol. EVERYTHING Ras does should be in super slow motion to her. She could parry, brush her teeth, build a desk, carve it out of wood, make a whole stack of pencils, and write her life story on that desk in the time he realises she's parried his first blow.

Lol... she chose to grab his sword. Yes, that's what I'm telling you. How do I know she chose to grab it? Well, his other swing, she split that sword in half.

I dont even know why this is being mentioned when Superman along with Flash have far worse showings, lol.

If Wonder Woman blitz Superman or move too fast for him to hit, that can NOT be ignored. Especially when she is moving so fast Supergirl didn't even see what happened or she is outright blitzing Supergirl and Powergirl to the point of them being unable to even touch her. That shows just how fast she is.

A cut slips through. Lol, he got past her defenses. You're crazy.

He disarmed her as well, did you miss that?

Superman and Flash also have far better showings to tell us they can go fast. Casually breaking the time barrier, crossing the universe etc.

WW....does she have the showings that aren't just power scaling ones? That's the question. As a WW fan, I'm sure you have them, right?

Nor can Ra's, Deathstroke, and Batman etc. Power scaling can't only work when you want it to work, Carver.

If we have an example of both of them trying a blitz, one of them stops the blitz, while the other one casually speedblitzes the other, it's certainly worth a lot.

Thanks.

Meanwhile, I've shown n52 Batman, without armour, whilst injured, being sucker-punched by an amped WW who is not holding back. Who is specifically trying to kill him:

https://i.postimg.cc/HVYd0GQB/batman35-justiceleaguefenrirplan1.jpg

Can't really call it an outlier, when so far, I have shown the only time they've fought.

So going back to my original point: power-scaling is useless. If a writer wants to show it, Batman, a street, is able to fight with WW even when she's bloodlusted and amped. If a writer wants to show it, WW can tag speedsters. That doesn't mean she's faster. How many times in New 52 has Batman been that durable without armor or amps? You don't seem to know the meaning of the word "outlier", we take their average feats against all characters he fought, not just one character. New 52 Batman's best physical feat is the scans you've shown, that's not even close to being an average showing for a guy who constantly struggles against Bane and Harley Quinn.

He was pretty durable against NoBody. Was smashing through walls and stuff. That's pretty much the only time he's been in a fight without his armour.

You were the one who asked for scans against a non holding back WW laughing out loud now it's against ALL characters? Lol, moving goalposts much?

My point still remains. Writers ignore power levels. Just today, Superman was punched harder than even Doomsday, and all he had was a little bit of blood.

Show me ALL the times a speedster has moved so quickly, Batman is unable to react. Give me the average. He's fought Zoom, stabbing and punching him. Outreacted Superman. GL. Fought WW. I'm sure there are Flash scans too.

DarkSaint85
Look, at the end of the day, WW isn't Ares, lol.

She is THE biggest female superhero in all of comics. One of the Big Three. Had her own TV show, film etc. Been around since the 40s. Has her own title, and guest stars in many books.

And yet, when ghostman asks a simple question, all you guys have as proof are power scaling feats??? She's fought this character, who has this feat, therefore she gets that feat too??

Come on.

What feats does she have to say she is FTL?

Bentley
She made this sandwich very fast

...Dang, that feat would scale against Alfred.

Too lazy to track down scans, but she did deflect Hermes lightning.

Which, given his status as super speedy messenger of the gods, is most likely not typical lightning. And even if it were, Hermes himself is still fast enough, where aim dodging would be impossible if she didn't possess sufficiant speed.

I'm saying that writers ignore power levels to write a sexy story. They don't all sit in a room and hammer out consistency.

'Hey Snyder, last week you wrote that Batman can bench 500lbs, right? I better stick to that limit'

'King, remember in Batman #163, published back in 1974 DC said he could take a punch from Judomaster? Better stick to that!'

Batman has herald durability if you use the logic of power scaling. I do NOT think he has herald durability.

XLR87T3
Also, the scan with Faora and Zod canonized Wonder Woman's power level, there is no ambiguity. She is Kryptonian level, even Superman recognized it

This is why characters with relatively fewer, yet consistent, appearances are easier to argue, theoretically. IMO, someone like Gladiator, who barely exists through his entire history as some do in a month, looks better for three solid feats then someone like, say, Superman.

It's not lowballing Batman to say "So in 50 years, he dodged a bullet twice? Not a bullet dodger, imo."

It's cherry picking to put those aberrations over his entire history.

DarkSaint85

I wrote a comment on this nearly 2 years ago:

Originally posted by DarkSaint85
I think it depends on how many showings they have.

Deathstroke has plenty of showings, where, whilst he tags Flash, also has many showings where he is much slower than Flash (hit by bullets, for example).

Therefore, fights don't count as much. Feats do. Because of PIS, or WIS, or whatever, where he has to be shown to be a threat - thus, dumbing down the other side. Why else would Toyman be a fricking threat, lol.

LT? Darkseid? Fights count much more. They don't have as many appearances. ABC scaling is needed. When they enter a fight, it's a pretty damn big deal.

Captain Marvel? He has a fair few appearances. So his feats need to be taken into account. Orion? Fewer - and then, he only seems to be trotted out for fights (he IS the Dog of War, after all). So his fights count for more.

So with Konvikt, power-scaling is all we have. Hence my comment above about WW - she's been around since the 40s, yadda yadda. She has TONS of showings. She's not like Ares, where he's pretty much defined by his relationship with Hercules.

So it should be easy enough to post her FTL feats.

Looks like Darksaint is saying the same thing I did just now. It's good to see he retroactively agrees with me. thumb up

Another fine example, is Val Armorr. He has few feats, AND he's human. His feats aren't PIS, and Slades are.

Because aside from the fewer showings, he also has narrative context from day one, of being fast enough and and strong enough to challenge Superboy. That was his initiation.

Plus, he was made in the silver age. Someone like him really couldn't work now, so he gets a pass for remaining relatively unchanged, as a relic of history. If Batman learned some martial arts that could rock Superman and defend a Flash blitz, it would be total bullshit.

That's pre 52. Hence my use of only n52/Rebirth scans.

My point being, it doesn't weaken them at the very least. It makes them bloodlusted. Superman was def bloodlusted there, and Batman still managed to dodge them after they were fired.

No words on how it affects humans differently, and without those words, we can't just assume WW is weaker. Power scaling doesn't work

cdtm
Well, I don't reallly have a dog in that race. I mean, as a fan, I win either way with Supes.

Just saying, the amp is pretty vague and doesn't seem to do much at higher levels, aside from making the victim bloodlusted. Basically, there's no real mention of a mid tier/herald level being being stronger, either.
