Noone ever doubted that Surfer can fly at lightspeed. It has yet to be shown him fighting at superspeeds or lightspeeds.

I just wish there would be less...dubious scans provided of Surfer doing the speedblitzing. Like a scan of Surfer doing to somebody what Ganymede did to him, for example. Superman does that a lot.

yes i see what you mean

in order to do that in close proxmity it shows that the person in this case Silver Surfer has fast reactions which are near to lightspeed and control.

I can't seem to find any, so that leaves three options:
1. SS can't fight at lightspeet
2. He can, but nobody can find a scan of it
3. The writers have never thought to have him use that power as he as so many to choose from

Given his power set he should be able to given the level of character he is and the level of opponents he faces, but thats just my opinion.

right, really Superman aint touching Silver surfer anyway

*sigh* they're all dubious. By the time he finished thinking, "another nanosecond....." they nanosecond would have already passed, lol.

Besides, a nanosecond to straighten my body is something even *I'm* almost fast enough to do.

I know it sound like a hard ass Superman fanboy, but....you can't dispute combat speed in scans like the ones I've posted. You can dispute in the ones we've seen of Surfer so far.

Surfer wins pretty easily. Close this thread.

He IS fighting the guy in that scan... unless you mean actually throwing super-fast punches or something, which I doubt Norrin has ever done.

I'm just not sure that physical damage could put SS down.

Thats what im talking about demi. Actually fighting speed. Surfer seems to display none.

lest clear this up Superman uses speed feats because that is what he is really speed and strength, that is why Silver surfer mostly has showings of the power cosmic becasue thats his main source/showing of power which really can do anything.

Imagine this is supes

The first scan wasn't working.

The second scan...I'd definitely say a forcefield is a good strategy for Surfer to use. To be honest, I DO think Surfer can beat Superman fairly easily. I'm taking issue with people who say he does it becuase he's faster and more durable...the feats aren't in his favor.

The third scan...you can extrapolate it, but it's (once again) dubious at best.

ok its late where i am and i got school so i'll continue this later if you still are debating.

as that link was not working here is a similar link (the closest to the original that i could get in 10 seconds)

basically the link and the first one was meant to show his phasing ability and that he can use his powers while doing it.

Now we're talkin! I didn't have issue with the idea that Surfer can beat Superman....just that he could outslug him, outspeed him and outlast him.

But any of those techniques would work just fine!

To me, that works better as a power feat than a speed feat.

We all know Supes is fast, but are the opponents he fights in those pics necessarily moving at super-speed?
