His reflexes have always been written as pretty crappy for some one as fast as he is in either universe. The guy always gets hit, no matter who the offender is.

I suggest you read my previous posts as even a speedster going one mach of their maximum can do serious amount of damage to them. Also Northstar vaporized the norm as well.
If that were the case then basically every feat of 616 Northstar is a lightspeed feat.

the art, in combination with speedster atomizing, mark millar's comment, and pietro's flippancy on mach 10, as well as the sheer badassity of the sequence...why is it so hard to believe?
because a light speed user wouldn't get speedblitzed by Northstar that easily. Unless Ultimate is like 616. Where are Mark Millar's comments? So badass means lightspeed?
Show me where he has shown anything even close to lightspeed prior to this?

i learned that in like third grade, man. 🙄
Exactally, so when he just does one feat no one bats an eye?
approaching lightspeed? as was he close? as any speedster can approach lightspeed how close is the question

COME ON, MAN! do you have some beef with ultimate pietro? there's no reason to fight this feat as hard as you seem to be.
Or you like Pietro to much, a light speed user would not easily get speedblitzed the way he did against Northstar.
You all are making it out to be all ultimate feat when really others have done the exact same thing.

Seriously, you're kind of picking with that one.

Well considering Deathstroke forced Wally into the location of his chosing it's not that bad. Plus he made a carrer tagging all the Kid Flashes.

not really as I can always approach something which can also mean moveforward but that doesn't mean I have to be right beside it. QS going lightspeed make absolutelty no sense what's so ever.

It still holds the same weight as the Northstar/Quicksilver example (maybe, haven't seen it). Still, super fast guys like Flash and Superman get tagged by slowpokes like Hulk and Batman all the time. Bart Allen just got thrown out a window by the damn Griffin and that's a guy with ultimate speed. I'm sure he'll be taking more hits as the book goes on.I think it seems pretty clear what Mark Millar intended with his statement and the appearance of a light barrier further backs it up. Maybe it contradicts what other writers portray Pietro as but it still doesn't change the fact that Millar wrote him as close to lightspeed.
I posted it, Northstar a slowpoke? If Northstar is like 616 Northstar then it's fine. Bart was holding back as he stated as Griffin was his friend and he tried to talk sense into him, when he got tossed out he transformed and took it serious.
Maybe? it definetly contradicts what the other writers stated. If they explain it in the next issue all is well and I'm definetly cool with it. As of now this comes completly out of no where. It's like Wolverine surviving a nuke or the Nitro incident
I'm not calling Northstar a slowpoke. Just saying he doesn't have to be near as fast as Pietro to land a hit. Not in a comic book at least. Things like that are why we get Hulk fanboys trying to justify their Hulk/Superman matches by stating he tagged Quicksilver or some other nonsense.
And even if Bart is holding back he should still have the reflexes as you say to avoid the hit.

If Ultimate Northstar is like 616 Northstar than all is fine, as both could go lightspeed. This feat is still completly out of the blue.
Well considering Bart is you know...afraid of using his speed as he feels he might die and all.

Does this example work better for you?

can classic jay garrick steal speed? for some reason, i remember a comic within the last couple of years where he steals somebody's speed and says something to the effect of "sorry, it's a little trick wally's been trying to teach me"
