Is Wonder Woman's speed an overhyped myth??

I ask anyone who reads this topic, to put personal preference aside and actually consider the characters history and feats.

Most of her speed feats are in part due to the fact the character has to block things that would harm her.

These things typically tend to be bullets which characters as fast as Superman don't need to avoid.

This topic honestly came to thought because of a vs thread, where Noone was capable of showing superior speed on a personal note. All notable speed feats were scaling off characters. But how reliable is that? Do we assume the characters operating at maximum just for the benefit of Wonder Woman?

If anyone has anything concrete, please feel free to share.. personally I don't think it's accurate to suggest keeping up with Zoom suggest she's as fast..

Wonder Woman is a real deal. She doesn't have any obvious weaknesses, has high levels of strength/speed/durability/skill, and possesses some of the most unfair trump cards in the comics (lasso, bracers, ...). She has the potential to defeat any herald.

Edit. Misread the title a bit. But no, her speed isn't overhyped either. She can often keep up with Superman, almost at least.

What's her best sped feat though? should of been my question.

And how concrete are the feats where she's scaling off other characters?

The only time I ever seen her suggested as a peer to Superman in speed, was in the same run where the writer suggested Superman wasn't lightspeed.

I thinks it's a writer thing. At the end of the day, I think personal Feats >> scaling off other characters. But I honestly just wanted to get other opinions on the matter.

It just comes off as Light being a bad shot and not being able to see where Batman is.

But he can tag something flying as fast as Superman (remember, they even remark on it, how Superman managed to get rid of Parasite without him activating his powers), yet can't hit Batman with BOTH beams? Bit contradictory there, hence, I wouldn't place too much on it.

Abhi will come in and say how Superman was at 50% power there, as well, as Vixen had been siphoning his powers.

Her best is the Shattered God feat, IMO.

As to how concrete? Meh. Flash gets tagged by Deathstroke. By his Rogues - doesn't mean they are all as fast as he is.

What's the Shattered God feat? and it's context? It sounds intriguing.

Context: it was a dark god from ages ago, shattered into a trillion trillion pieces (or whatever), then spread all over the galaxy - over Oa, edge of the universe etc).

All those pieces gets pulled together, back to Earth. Diana stops them.

Superman was literally at half power there as Vixen had half of his powers.

Its one of the most baffling scenes to be routinely posted everywhere.

Really hard to say how fast she's going though in terms of mach.

Superman is noisy, clumsy, and obvious. Notice that the villains hear his approach before he appears on panel.

Batman is quieter, scarier, less predictable, and has the good sense to move AWAY from direct attacks.

So I can react to a noisy fighter jet barreling straight at me in a predictable path, but not to a mosquito?

Tell that to the many mosquitoes who whisper of me in hushed terms.
