So you can shove your nonsense up your ass for all care.
Wolverine can throw one punch in .038 seconds. It's all Srank said and It's a better speed feat than Beast has to his name, regardless of whatever red herring bullshit argument you want to start here so you can cling to your sad superiority complex.
Yeah, exposing the red herring isn't a red herring argument. And you got personal real fast. How boring.
Let's put this farce to rest once and for all for all those people who believe... "zomg... why can't a comic character be ten times faster than a human being???" Why can't Cap... a Super-Soldier be 10X as fast as a human? He's more than 10X as strong, right? Hell... he outclasses Daredevil in speed! And even DD is arguably 10X faster than normal humans!!!
So here we go: Cap's best running feat is a mile in just under a minute. Well, he said he could do it anyway. A mile is 1607 meters. That means Cap runs a bit over 25 meters per second. Which means he would run the 100 meter dash in just under 4 seconds.
Usain Bolt ran it in under 10 seconds. So Cap is actually (if you apply true mathematical measure), Cap is only ".4 times faster" than Usain Bolt.
Does that sound right? Cap isn't even "twice as fast" as Usain Bolt? No. Of course not. But that's because the term, "faster," used in comparisons like "Person X is twice as fast as Person Y" isn't actually mathematically accurate at all. It's a figure of speech. It's colloquial. So let's stop trying to justify comic character feat capability through pure mathematical measure extrapolated from the liberal use of colloquial terminology.
Furthermore, let's stop trying to justify Wolverine throwing 25 fully cocked and extended punches in a single second. Because that basically requires you to believe that Daredevil runs 100 meters in one second (which if that doesn't sound absolutely retarded to you), means he's 4X faster than Cap... who already outraced him on-panel.
