after images have to be looked at in context. i never said after images make you fast, even tho the ppl who normally do it have heightend speed and reflxes anyaway, but bouncing around all over the place, is different from what superman did with the probe, he was tagging him with punches and using heat vision...the same way they showed afterr images when he collected all the falling debris from a collapsing building b4 anybody on the ground got hurt..its about what you do, so if ppl wanna make it into a major argument thats on you all im simply too cool for the needless back and forth
Look at Northstar/Aurora they are vastly slower than Superman and yet they can claim similar feats as well using after images. Yes, Superman is very fast in combat situation, I just don't agree with the point afterimages means much.
After images sometimes are used to show a characters path and sometimes they are used to show speed. Like is we see Puck having after images it's to pretty much show his agility. But if a character like Supes has after images it's most likely to display speed.

Actually Puck and even Wild CHild have done similar feats, but after-images are not an indication of great speed. Do I think Superman can travel speeds faster than light? you bet your ass I have the comics that were mentioned. Do I think after-images are a strong indication of overall speed? no.
thats why i said they should be looked at in context..even tho guys like spidey and DD can dodge bullets when they feel like it, normally thier after images show the direction in which they are traveling...a good source of this would be Spider Girl..they do that for her a lot..but super speed guys, its usually trying to visulaize thier speed
eh? Snoop as I said even Wild Child, Puck and the twins have done exact same stuff in your scans except different powers of course. That doesn't prove really much. Is Superman combat fast? yep. Do I think afterimages are a great indication of speed, hell no. Namor has done similar things as well.

Yep, Puck always makes his "witty" comments in them. Superman is super fast, faster than those mentioned. I just don't feel after images do him justice as people much slower than him have accomplished similar feats. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even classic Quicksilver has similar feats.
huh? of course I do, I even said Superman is super fast, faster than the people I even mentioned. Just after-images are still not a great indication, as you really don't know how fast they are going, and people vastly slower than Clark have done similar feats.
