Gosh i wish i had debated in this thread since the beginningdoes superman fair well against extremely high level mental attacks?
Superman thinking at light speed is such BS, even Flash doesn’t think that fast unless he uses the Speed Force which allows him to break the laws of psychics. Superman may think faster because he is not human. Nate being a mutant is still human and has never shown any ability to think at light speed.

Except.... you know, travelling at literally 100 trillion times the speed of light and stopping exactly at the place he needed to go. Other mutants have thought at light speed levels, All the light speed speedsters in marvel can think at the level they are moving, that means Nate is no different. Nate is as human as Superman is which is not at all...

So anyone moving faster then 30 m/s would have to do this, to give you some simple examples of speed and how slow the speed of thought really is. A bullet can travel around 180 - 1220 m/s and the speed of sound is 340.29 m/s.

The problem is that for anyone to process data at the speed of light has to be able to alter the laws of physics, electromagnetism can only travel at the speed of light in the presence of a vacuum and since none of these characters heads are vacuums then they can not think that fast unless they alter the laws of psychics.
For Nate this shouldn’t be a problem because of his vast awareness and ability to become intangible. Most of the characters that I know of that travel at that speed have some type of awareness or skill that allows them to manure at those speeds much the same way as Navy fighter pilots moving much faster then they can think, it’s the skill and technology that allows them to go that fast.
Are you kidding me? Most laws of physics DON'T REALLY apply for comics. This one definitely don't as it has been proven by quite a few characters by being able to manouver and perfectly coordinate in such speeds. Even if their brains were working just for 1/2 or even 99/100 of the speed of light they would be HORRIBLY misplaced every time.
The only possible 'skill' is that their brains operate as fast or faster than they can move. That means this law doesn't really apply at all.
