Vulcan vs the Flash

That's the thing, there's very little information on this power. Xavier says it's continually reactive. Meaning it's always on, therefore as soon as the Flash connects or before the Flash connects the adaptation happens.

If it's after the Flash connects then his body will instantly heal itself and adapt to the impact. So the same move can't be used again.
If it's before or on contact then the Flash's powers are useless.

The brain has to send nerve impulses to the body to adapt. Which takes (very short) time.

You want to know how many times faster Flash is then thought?

But that would mean Darwin would have burnt himself in that scan. It would also mean that he'd be dead in this one.

Therefore the adaptation is instantaneous. It can't be measured and it's continuously active.

Both those things happen vastly slower then what Flash is capable...

It's active, but it's not mystical. It's genetic. So it has to work through pain. When he was dropping, his brain sent the signal to adapt to the hitting. (It says it right there- "without even trying, his body grew lighter, his bones grew soft...he almost bounced when he hit the pavement.) the adaptation happened before he hit the ground.

And fire isn't as fast as Flash either - you know when you touch something hot and it doesn't burn you in instant, it takes like one millisecond before you register it, with someone else, their brain would send a signal of pain, but with Darwin, his brain sends a signal to adapt the heat...

But it can't send a signal of his head being ripped off when it is already a mile away from the body after the nerve impulse begins it's travel.

It's instantaneous by human standards, but to Flash, it's crawling.

After seeing those scans, I'd rather see more of the actual character that Vulcan took his powers from...he seems more interesting than this new "omega level third Summers brother"...just my opinion...

Hell yeah. One of best characters recently introduced.

yeah he actually looks like an interesting character.

as for this match. i still think the flash wins

i don't know how it is possible that he is a relative of cyclops or any other summers because he was born in the Shiar empire

I agree. Vulcan is going to be quite the interesting character it seems.

But Flash still wins this fight.

I think they were referring to Darwin.

we were.

Okay you've convinced me, the Flash wins because he thinks much faster and can lay down at least 7 speed blitzes before the pain registers.
The only way I can see Vulcan winning is if his body goes into some super healing state, after the pain registers.
