Since this thread was created to put superman next to flash with a hidden agenda, please superman fans, dont even bother to dispute my ranking, i normally refuse to answer wank/bait/fan based answers thread, but everyone needs a good laugh every now and then. Wink.
how is Superman below Gladiator? Superman has picosecond feats.

What he says makes perfect sense to me when you consider Eisteins law of general relativity. If your traveling at light speed according to Einstein the speed of everything else is relative to your speed. Therefore something for example traveling at half the speed looks slow as paint drying to you. Everything slower than light appears to move like a snail pace and anything light speed would appear to you the same way a car traveling at 50mph like when you travel the same. When you drive on the freeway at high speed you don't suddenly gain enhanced reflexes to react to things moving that speed you have already adapted to a different frame of reference. When a fighter pilot flies at Mach 16 etc they don't gain super human reflexes to compensate they simply adapt to the frame of reference. Said fighter pilot likely doesn't have the reaction speed to dodge or block a martial artist who moves at a franction of the speed he flies when he operates at the speed of normal human movement but can react to dodge things while flying and can react to like speed air craft in a dog fight.

Like vdII or what ever his face said that's not reaction it's just the way anyone is capable of reacting if they can operate at that speed. If we suddenly developed FTL propulsion than any pilot flying it could match SS or Superman's abilities to do these things.

Haha, its like you're stuck in a loop. You're at the mistake here. But don't let that deter you.

Reflex speed, in addition to the flat-out stated McDuffie thing, but her good showings against Flash and Zoom (remember, her beating Zoom?), and on a couple occasions Superman has used repeated rapid-fire bursts of heatvision and having them deflected.
Busiek flat out contradicted at and Simone did it too.

Flash was a blur to her under Simone, as was Zoom under rucka and Zoom flat out massacred her under Johns. Superman has caught Barry at hyperlight speed and was said by Professor Zoom that his reflexes rivals his own. Better than her in every way.

Oh hey, she herself says that Power Girl is as fast as she is.

But its like a single statement from Mcduffie is be all and end all. How about I use a scene where Deathstroke was said to be faster than her?

And Superman has actually blitzed people who can swat heat vision out of air and deflected kryptonite rays out of air from different places. Several of them.

Where on earth do you get an idea like that?? Running speed is travel speed NOT reaction speed and CERTAINLY NOT reflex.
Mirrium Webster dictionaries define reflex as "An action or movement of the body that happens automatically as a reaction to something". Not one statement about running or travel speed.

Every single thing metioned here is about travel speed NOT reaction speed. One has to do with the rate of travel, the other has to do with how quickly the body autonomously responds.

Again this is travel speed, not reaction speed.

The reason why Martial artists have superior reactions to a normal person is because their training (katas etc) makes certain responses to certain ctions autonomic. By constatly repeating katas so a single response is to trained to be the autonomic muscle memory reaction to multiple similar actions or attacks it becomes more likely that the body does perform this as an auto reaction before any thought is placed in making a response. The defense aspects of almost all amrtial arts are very similar and repetative. It's only in the attack aspects that MA's become complex as these are usually thought about before performed.

Deathstroke uses 90% of his brain and his reactions ARE superior for that reason. Need I mention he has also tagged Flash?? Are you using that argument to suggest that Flash has slow reaction speed? NO.

Superman blitzing people is travel speed. People swatting his beams is reactions speed. So the fact that you cvan supply such instances is porrf that there are others with superior reactions to him that are not in his league for speed of operation. You essentially just proved the argument of the person you were responding to to be correct.

Not how I'd have put ti but close enough I guess to my point.

We all know how this ends. You say 'lol' a lot, make some sexist comments, people roll their eyes, the people who like to pretend WW's weak look dumb, and you try again next time.


Umm fanboyism and sexism are pretty different

Gladiator

Wonder Woman

Martian Manhunter etc etc.

That's what I was saying travel speed is not reflex speed. But many don't seem to get it. When it comes to their favorite character, travel speed = combat speed. When it is someone they want to put down its the opposite

Surfer does have high reflexes, but many say he doesn't and then say teavel speed is not qual to cobat speed but when it comes to theri favourite, travel speed is combat speed

You still haven't explained why you put gladiator over superman. What is your basis for this?

Because he hates Superman. If you look at all his former posts regarding Superman you'll see that (like Carver) he really hates him. For Christ sake, he even picks WW to win over Superman in a fight. LOL. Despite all the evidence shown that proves she has virtually no chance against him.

Well, I was referring to the other guy that h1a8 quoted but yeah, Carver does too. You shouldn't be surprised by this. You don't remember him picking WW in the Supes vs WW thread that went on for what seemed like an eternity?

Never said WW would pull a majority but she can pull some wins against any Herald because she has the fts (that I posted in the thread). This is a woman that beat Mongul and a Kryptonian by herself. Handled Zod and Faora by herself, stomped Supergirl, was running through Hal. Yeah, she could most def pull some wins and if someone said the majority, I wouldn't fault them for it either.

I'm not sure how Surfer is even in this conversation.

I'm not sure how two writers (maybe even just one) in the old DCU suggesting that Diana was faster than Superman makes her so.

Get this real life logic out of here. Bring in her feats or shut up.

No, he literally vanished right in front of diana before she could react. And laughing out loud @ him tagging Flash as a reaction feat.

How does this even makes any sense is beyond me. Superman outreacting people isn't a reaction feat but a travel speed feat.
