KMC Forums - how fast can superman fly?

via suspension disbelief, i agree. but by powerset, set for him power wise, no. especially on earth he reduces his speed even more drastically putting him below light speed. do writers at time ignore this for the sake of story, yes. does that mean he is faster then he is suppose to be, no. its just consistency hiccup and lack of overall knowledge. too often in DC they have given reasons why not but a few mostly flash cant reach light speed due to physics and then you get a science nerd who tries to quantify an ability using real science and it fails miserably its a comic dont read more into it.

Flash moves at light speed if he tries to move faster and above that he gets drawn into the speed force... does he have feats where he moves so fast time hold still, yes.. should some one try to quantify the feats b/c there is an explosion releasing radiation and ppl start quantifying the speed of particles and turn around and start spouting how Flash was moving 10x 30x the speed of light..
tryin to give a science lecture an by extesion giving flash a whole new set of powers which he doesnt have but they do it to BS through an argument just to win a debate.

Superman has more statements saying how slow he is to Flash, how he moves below light speed, its bn shown in one way or another like the duo blackholes for every inconsistent feat and lack of science you have an equal amount if not more putting a gap in speed for superman...

tell me if superman is running against flash and he cant keep up and shoots a laser vision from his eyes and the laser cant reach flash how fast are they going, how fast is the laser traveling?

how about when flash is fighting Amazo how fast are they moving compared to superman who is on site and frozen?

that 1% of speed Superman cant and isnt suppose to reach makes a real difference in comics...
