When? I hope you aren't reffering to that scene in the infinity gauntlet when surfer misses...

This is a page if from I.G #4, where he makes a mad dash for the I.G and...fails.Anyway, Surfer and Warlock are over a lightyear away waiting for their moment, Surfer is using his super vision to watch Thanos. As soon as he gets a chance, he goes for it.
What happens here is insane, Surfer flies OVER a lightyear in LESS than the time it takes for Thanos to throw a punch he's already cocked. Probably around 3 seconds at most.
So, you math wizards, exactly HOW fast is Surfer flying here?

about 11,000,000 cActually, he's probably throwing the punch in a fraction of a second (how long does it take us ordinary mortals to throw a punch--1/10 of a second?), in which case Surfer is probably doing something like 320,000,000 c.
This is almost warp factor 700, based on ST-TOS scale.

I don't think anyone expects....anyone to be able to fight 320 million times lightspeed...well, maybe the Runner.
That's what I want to know though, did Runner fight Thanos at high speeds or was he just able to move around him in filght speed? And Flash have abilities that Runner doesn't that whould help. 🙂

How does that show Thanos having faster than lightspeed reflexes, and fighting speed?In the scan, he had the gauntlet. Plus doesnt Thanos have cosmic awareness?
I can't explain how fast your reactions have to be to do that, but goddamn...do I really need to?
No, Thanos doesn't have cosmic awareness that I know of. Technically, Thanos isn't cosmic....

That's only flight speed though, not fighting/reflexive speeds. 🙂
are u stupid or just plain retarted? thanos has too much POWER, he can do almost anything with it, includin givin himself beyond lightspeed reflexes. also that chair thing that thanos uses can use his own power to teleport him cosmically GREAT distances.

It doesn't, Surfer misses his mark as Thanos was moving in for his punch on captain america. It was luck on Thanos part. Surprised and knowing that he nearly lost the gauntlet, he then wills himself back to full power.
Before that, Captain America was easily dodging his blows, and Thanos was hit and caught unaware by different characters.

<<Well that changed things a little.>>
i don't think so snoop. not really, anyway.
let's assume for the moment that flash CAN steal his speed for a short time. NOW what does he do? IMP? this is a guy who stoiod in PROLONGED battle with ODIN -- and WAS NOT ko'd! you cannot tell me you think flash can do enough to ko thanos when even ODIN could not. and that's leaving aside the fact that thanos's telepathic powers (and yes, flash HAS been affected in the past by telepathy - he couldn't outrace psych-pirate's powers, for one, and that was in the days he could out race ANYTHING!) may come into play.
so he gets IMP'd a couple times, the theft wears off. now what do we know of thanos? we know he's repeatedly struck ss in combat, and warlock (a teleporter). call pis if you wish, but he has done so MANY times, so if you label it pis you need to label ALL their fights pis. i don't think you can do that. it's happened too many times. that tells me thanos DOES have the ability to strike objects moving at or near c. and it would only take ONE shot to end it. i am curious -- why the desire for proof that thanos can destroy a planet (he did it while battling drax early on BEFORE he was enhanced)? surely you can't think it would TAKE a planet-type blast to kill flash?
you flash fans did well in making me realize flash could get in some good shots and prolong this fight. but in the end he lacks the offensive capabilities to win this fight while thanos has MORE than enough and has shown the ability to hit high speed targets MANY times in the past.
