It doesn't have to be mentioned. We see him doing it. The speed of light cannot cross 3-4 planets in one panel. He was flying so fast that Superman and the GLs could not catch up, who are confirmed FTL characters.
Techincally you can't say if it was really specified that it was just SBP. I know that I use both SBP and SMP as the same person. I assumed that he meant current Prime.
Yeah I just checked and the only reason why he is SMP now is because of legal disputes over the superboy name. So SBP's feats are the same as SMP's. With that said I still say that the team wins due to Void and his control over darkness. he could just instill a deep amount of fear into Prime.
Look, I know thinking is not really your strong point, but I'll hold your hand through this.
SMP said he was gonna fly through Oa at the speed of light, yeah.
But how does SMP know exactly how fast light is?
Then, we see him a couple pages later, flying past planet after planet, which is FTL speed, and the time he was nearing his destination shows he was going FTL.
So, what do we go by, what SMP said, or what we saw?
I'm curious as to how you came to this conclusion. All SBP said was the he was going to fly through OA itself (to initiate the big bang) at light speed. Nothing else was mentioned about how fast he flew to get there.
Considering that he got to Krypton in a few sentences (and this is with the GLC "slowing" him down) that would have to be far, far, FAR faster than light to achieve.
