And it's apparently been debunked.
But you guys seem to be interested in a constructive debate about this all. So let me propose three different approaches to this superspeed blitz debate that nobody seems to be touching upon. Here's the first, which is reflected here:

That's the whole point of this argument.
I don't see how speed somehow gets a pass when it comes to battles. Superman punching someone trillions of times is about as likely as Thor just auto targeting someone with Mjolnir after throwing it far in excess of the speed of light. Or Thor ever losing or even being struck by an energy manipulator. Or Surfer devolving someone out of their powers.
It's the same thing.
1) If it doesn't make sense to you why Superman's speed never seems to be an elixir cure-all against top tier bricks on-panel, that's really your own problem. Because constantly whining about it makes as much sense as a Thor fan whining in every thread about why he doesn't just remote control Mjolnir with his will to zoom at his opponents at million times light speed in an unavoidable dazzling array of close-range blitzing to hit them a million times in a second. Yes, Thor can remote control it through will. Yes, Mjolnir can go that fast. Yes, Mjolnir has made tight curves and corners. Yes, Thor's kinda put everything together before even with dazzling, seemingly perpetual remote control Mjolnir tornadoes/ricochets in a tight space...
... but that was like... twice, ever. And it still didn't result in Heimdall or Hulk/Namor getting pulped to an unrecognizable mess.
So how many people do you see b1tch about Thor winning 10/10 with this tactic? Anybody? Does it make sense to you why nobody would take it seriously based on how we see Thor fight on-panel? It does to me, considering I never see him actually pull off this super-pwnzerz Mjolnir superspeed blitz on anybody effectively for a near spiteful beatdown. Is that unfair of me? You have problems with that conclusion? If so, congratulations, you're one of a kind now go troll some Thor threads with this idea. If not, hold onto that, and think about Superman again.
Still a problem? Think about Surfer now doing the same thing with his board. Then, go back to Superman again. Still got problems? Then see if anybody takes Gladiator or Hyperion using nanosecond blitzing seriously. Then, go back to Superman again.
Still got problems? Ok. You know what that means? You've got a problem.
