The editor of the comic himself confirmed that the wording was off, and the intent of the author wasn't for him to be faster than radio waves, but too fast for the other to contact him using those means.

I know but there is a tendency for writers to say stuff like that on panel and then 'real life' contradicts it. In the case of Quicksilver we have the Mister X incident he travelled from Eastern Europe to America in minutes and it was specifically stated to QS they were in trouble. Also he stated to Hercules that he travelled half way around the world in 92 seconds, the way QS said it he implied that it took alot of effort and it was a big deal.
Since its your job to prove that DC characters are superior to Marvel I would like to see some proof.

What do you mean? He said Quicksilver was running faster than radio waves. Are you saying that the radio waves were slower than in real life? I'm not going to assume that without some proof. Quicksilver got a huge off panel upgrade. I'm not going to place any limitations on his speed until I see them.
The Thunderbolts fight with Mister X? Eh, that doesn't in itself disprove him being able to go faster.
Now the second example would be more in line with what you're going for. Do you have a scan? Been a while.
Quicksilver needs another feat similar to that radio wave one and he'll be cemented as a light speedster.
Where is the implication that it took a lot of effort? He definitely made it seem like something worth noting, but the Flash has shit in the same vein like that. Hardly sets a limitation for the character.

Is the same shit as you posted on herochat? IIRC, he said something stupid like Quicksilver didn't have to be running faster than radio waves to be out of radio contact. The comic outright said he was running faster than radio waves. No two ways about it.
He really has become a shitty editor. F*cked up with Thanos: The End.
No, what it implies is that Breevort needs to re-read the scene.
The way he phrases it suggests that he thinks Quicksilver moving faster than radio waves is solely based on the team failing to contact him by radio. However it was outright said that he was moving faster than radio waves.
Oh for gods sake, he doesn't have any other speed feats comparable so it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Not arguing he was exhanusted or it was his top speed but it did take effort worth noting otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it. The point is it contradicts the idea that he can run FTL. Is that alright?

Get it from Philo. He posted it originally. Probably asked him the question in the first place.
I get that it should be criticized but like I said, he got a big upgrade off panel. If nothing else, it's a high end feat. One more, and his definitely light speed.
I can accept it took some effort but unfortunately it doesn't in itself disprove the radio wave feat like I thought it did. Might as well take Flash down a peg.
Wasn't that scene written by Pak? Worst case scenario, Slott writes him faster than other writers.
just out of curiosity, do you want QS to be faster than Light so you can use that scuffle he had with thor , where thor states he defeated fleeter foes?
QS only has one ftl feat ,i don't think he can go that fast imho, he may be FTL in future but in that thor fight he wasn't
Quicksilver has been has been said to be travelling faster than radiowaves in the newest issue of Mighty Avengers. That's faster than light. Any insane increase in power I've missed?
I think you're interpreting that line in a very odd and inaccurate way. Quicksilver needn't be moving faster than radio waves for somebody not to be able to contact him by radio.
1. Didn't Slott write that scene? If so what Breevort said don't mean anything.
2. Why is Breevort talking about radio contact? I can't see anything there that suggests they were trying to contact him by radio. He seems to be making assumptions.
3. Did Slott write the fight between X and Quicksilver? Edit: no he didn't.
Seems to me you could assume that Quick could have FTL speed under Slott. That other feat were he travels from India to Tibet suggests that (Mighty Avengers written by Slott I assume), eventhough I don't think Slott did any math I'm pretty sure his intention was that it was a Flash level feat.
