Actually, as stated in this thread already, shift x is 80,000 to 150,000 mph. Which is freekishly fast (haha, bad pun) but nowhere near Flash. Parker will stand about as much chance as he would against Flash, but Wally would still beat the living crap out of Freek.
And Spidersense doesn't actually allow Spiderman to move before an attack begins. It begins to warn him before it happens, but his natural, instinctual reaction time still makes him begin to physically react after the attack begins, by a couple hundredths of a second. Which is pretty much all Speedfreek would need, apparently. (80,000 mph is a buttload over Quicksilver's Mach 3...)
Though all this thread illustrates, of course, is the fact that Speedfreek is way the heck over the speed cap for the tournament, and so Long Pig is disqualified. Long live Dr. Spiderhulk!
