I mean there are many ways to counter your opponents speed, in a short amount of time. Not every character is going to be ko'd within the first second of the fight.
I didn't say he'd be KO'd in the first second. All of what you mentioned, however, is trumped by Superman's speed.

Than answers me this. If your survive the first attack in the first moment of the fight, your than able to summon a force field. How then does Superman use his speed against you?

How would you be able to with Superman constantly pounding on you faster than you can react?

Aren't speed and reaction time two totally different things?
For example, Colossus isn't faster than the Hulk but he's able to react to his punches.
Or in Beta Ray's defense. He may not be able to move as fast as Gladiator, but he can react to his attacks due to his god like reflexes.

But, Gladiator is not the speed blitzing type. He has fast travelling feats though. And Superman's reaction timing and speed are faster than Thor's. That much we can agree on, yes?

Well to be fair there isn't anyone in the Marvel universe thats the speedblitzing type. However even when there are characters that move faster than Thor and/or BRB they still seem to be able to hit there opponent.
Thanos for example is not the fastest of characters. However he has been shown to have reflexes that are sharp enough to hit characters who move at light speeds.

In response to Thor being stronger then Superman, in a cannon crossover, Superman KO'ed Thor with one punch to the face. Superman in that same cannon crossover also caught Thors hammer.
The funny thing about that is during that same time Thor was ending Ragnarok, and was going into "the slumber of the gods". Wonder why it's considered cannon?

Yeah, but the thing is, speed is a b*tch. 😬 This sucks for a lot of characters. Superman is NOT as powerful as Thor is, but he's faster. barker
