Firelord does not fight in hyper speed like Goku, or Gladiator, his flight would simply bring him into contact with Skaar, and then he would get the beats. Like I said Skaar is immune to fire, and when he amps up with the Old Power it would be a wrap. Imagine Firelord taking a 100 trillion ton punch in the face... Not pretty.
Interesting, I remember that comic as well, after all I have it, just not with me presently. I think they would have a good fight, but I still think Skaar would take it.
Unless Skaar can react to a being flying at him at multiple times the speed of light, it doesn't really matter if Firelord doesn't have lightspeed agility.
The shortest distance between two points is always a straight line.
Those two points are Skaar and Firelord. Firelord flies at fullspeed at Skaar, and Skaar will not and should not be able to react. Firelord would fly right through him.
I've never really understood this 'travel speed vs fight speed' deal. It's only a problem if the guy cannot accelerate to his top speed in an instant and needs time to build up speed.
The factor that you fail to recognize is that Firelord would not be blanketed with any sort of force field to shift the impact away from him when he made contact with Skaar, and you underestimate Skaars healing factor and general toughness. Skaar can armor up, which amps him to class 100 stats. Firelord does not, and never has been able to throw multiple hit combos. Firelord basically fights at slightly above human speeds. Skaar is also a hardened warrior despite his age, because all he has known is combat. No Firelord would lose, because this would turn into a slug it out. Yes he has flight speed, but no battle speed, so punch for punch, Skaar is going to out punch him.
Correction, Firelord loses. There is absolutely nothing that Firelord could do to Skaar that would keep him down. However Skaar could put Firelord down permanently. Skaar beat the Juggernaut, and that was before Cain was depowered again. Cain would simply crush Kril.
I'm giving it to firelord but lol at the peeps that is saying that firelord can fight at light speed. I can only think of one character on kmc that fights anywhere close or above the speed of light going by on-panel showings and it ain't fire lord.
Who has Firelord beaten that is on Skaars level of power? Skaar would not only be hitting Kril with class 100 punches, but he would also be hitting him with seismic assaults the like that could shift a continent. The scan above of Drax hitting Kril was clearly not in the 100 trilion ton range, or Kril would flown out of orbit. Nah Skaar has the feats to put this match out.
He beat him by outsmarting him which has no bearing on his battle with Firelord here. He's still a vicious child and Firelord has the power cosmic and experience on him. Firelord wins.
The trillion ton thing is being thrown around way too much. He only got that high from absorbing Worldbreaker hulk's footsteps. which isn't a normal occurance at all.
