Anyway, Jay has put a beating on Black Adam before and Adam is a lot faster than Herc is and probably around the same level of strength and durability
Herc is more skilled than Adam is though, most likely Herc will try to use AOE attacks and may even get a hit in on Jay, but Jay already has already shown his durability when Zoom punched him from New York to Dallas

If Herc does get that lucky shot in, all that's going to do is tell Jay to be careful and not get hit by him and take him out sooner when he realizes Herc is a potential threat.

He was telling him to stand down and didn't want to fight him. Just because he's flying straight at him doesn't make it a blitz and doesn't mean Sentry is going all out either.
I think so since Herc really wouldn't be able to hit him. Adam tends to slug it out but if he should win without too much trouble if he actually uses his speed and picks Herc apart.
Herc is def a more skilled combatant and sometimes skill can overcome physical stats but with Adam and more so Jay there's too much speed to overcome.
Jay has never "put a beating" on BA.
There is the one issue where the JSA were fighting BA and Jay laid multiple blows on Teth that he couldnt react to. However at no point did those blows appear to in anyway harm Teth.
Teth was still able to thunderclap and out civilians at risk to get Jay out of his hair.
Not really seeing what Jay is going to do to put Herc down. Due to his age and the heart atrack risk while hes the power to he cant risk IMP, because i diubt he can push his speed high enough without risking a heart attack.
I'd call it a stalemate leaning towards Herc. Herc shouldnt be able to tag him but if he gets that lucky strike (al la BA in WWIII with the swinging arm vs Jay) he can take a few.
Adam was hurt to the point where Jay could draw blood from him, and I need to see evidence of Herc's pain tolerance and more importantly his durability being above Adam's before I buy the argument that Jay can't hurt him.
He said no prep and no BFR
*edit* saw where he said no speed stealing down the page
I was skipping over RZs quoted/posts (on ignore), so it was one side of a phone call for me, but if thats about speed stealing, then no, no speed stealing.
Talk about overkill for an already hard to deal with power!
I will call hyperbole, just because statements like that abound all over comics. Temperatures like that would ignite the atmosphere, destroying MMH, lol. Moreover, the scan you showed, showed nothing that MMH's HV used was hot enough to rival stars being born.
Pain tolerance - Herc would rather set himself on fire with napalm, or kill himself, rather than suffer more pain. Yet, he was still able to decimate SHIELD, and fight Ares:
I don't think so, we already know that Superman's (and Martian's comparable HV) can reach those levels. Yeah, it probably would ignite the atmosphere but we've already seen Heat vision being used excessively on Earth without any collateral damage (when Supes vaporized the Doomsday army) logically everytime Superman or any character in his tier throws a punch it should logically destroy everything within miles
J'ohn may not have been going all out but it's fair to assume that, knowing Adam, he used a fair amount of force with his HV to try to stop him and was partially successful as it did somewhat burn Adam's face. Adam wasn't very phased when half of his face was burned, that's ridiculous pain tolerance
Lets also not forget that Adam was getting his face turned into pudding by a dozen + other characters in WW3 and was still fighting and wasn't slowing down much. That's insane damage soak and pain tolerance

Napalm shouldn't even hurt Hercules even if he doused himself with it and lit himself on fire. That aside, again it's a cool feat but that doesn't show Herc having any higher of a pain tolerance than Adam does.
