Granted, Flash makes remarks about taking it easy as well. Supes has cought Wally on more than one occasion, and just the same Wally has outsped Supes at times. Their speed is definately comparable.2- GL's are plenty fast. Notice how they outfly jets and things easily?
3- The Booster statement wasn't the only statement refering to his speed. Quit acting like it is. His speed is noted in nearly every issue. I don't even understand why you're bothering to act like he isn't fast. Several notes of his have been mentioend already.
1- But hes not an equal. Speeding to the max doesnt make him equal either when Flash does the same, time travelling or not. So even he end up matching DD theyr still < Flash.
2- Yes they are. When.they.are.flying. And im talking combat wise, i.e without fligth. Its not the same thing and its more revelant since it was in a close combat that he went down.
Now, if Gardner was stated, shown or written flying towards DD with such speed as the necessay to outspeed jets and more, its one thing. Flying rather normally to an opponent he knew nothing about and getting beaten in a close match its another.
3- And who is saying DD wasent fast? Sure he was. The Booster claim stands out because its the only controversial one.
As for the human eye part, i see it as they wer reacting faster than a human could respond in return but not totally invisible to the eye. Like a blur.
Wich brings us, to the thread discussion. Thor has moved in blur lite speeds against opponents. The DOS DD didnt seemed above it.
