You really don't know how to read or understand anything, do you? Superman punching Zod while flying is him punching at Superspeed because he is already using Superspeed.

You need to prove it was done at human level speed. Just because it was done in real time doesn't mean it was Henry Cavill punching Michael Shannon.

Your tantrums are amusing though.

This is seriously hilarious.

Err... no. He's flying at super speed but punching at normal speed. The proof is that we can see him flying at super speed yet still only punches at regular speed.

What you're saying is like saying that if Usain Bolt starts punching while he's running at top speed, he's actually throwing faster punches than Mayweather does when Mayweather is standing still. That's just a ridiculous argument.

Bottom line is, you have zero proof to back up your claim that Superman was punching in super speed. The most that you can do is prove that he was flying in super speed.

Using his logic, if a skydiver high-fives another skydiver they would have done so in super speed.

I offered to explain it to him, but he was so embarrassed by his lack of knowledge that he just started throwing insults.

It's amazing how many people don't understand that if two people are going the same speed and direction, then their speed relative to each other is 0.

Err... no. A punch does not accelerate with uniform magnitude, at least it depends on the punch and the mechanics of it. Stepping forward at the last minute just before the punch hits makes sure it accelerates faster at the last minute. A drop punch achieves something similar. Torquing your hips towards the end of a kick makes sure it's accelerating faster at the end than it did in the beginning.

Fight scenes with Captain America and Winter Soldier utilize stuntmen, shaky cam, close up shots and sped up frame rates to create the illusion that they are faster than heavyweight professional fighters. So your argument here holds no weight since visually, they actually do seem faster than professional heavyweight fighters. At least for most of the time. Every now and then they might throw a hit that looks slow, but then again not every movement a professional fighter makes is always at top speed.

You have no clue what you are talking about. The acceleration of the fist is approximately uniform in a cross or a jab.

False, 99% of the fight scenes are done with the actual actors. Nothing is sped up. If that was the case then they are still slow as shit because the speed up doesn't make them look fast at all. Professional fighters are still a shit ton faster.

Post any scene where you think Cap or WS move their limbs faster than a real professional fighter and I will show you the joke of the day.

I understand your point. Just wanted to nitpick though.
You should refer to "relative velocity". The theory of relativity is used for speeds very close to the speed of light. It's far more complex than simple relative velocity.
