Regardless of how inconsistant the writer writes them, thats how its suppose to be.I'll remember this comment when you argue against Strange's auto shields. 😈
Gl's cant fight at lightspeeds such as hand movement speed. However Surfer cant either. Unless you call flying in a circle at lightspeed and shooting a beam in the middle fighting at lightspeed, like other Surfer fans do.
He has:
Flown into a mansion, went through the halls, went into a room, broke the lock with his hands, grabbed Nova, exited the mansion so fast that the alarm didn't go off until Surfer was half a light year away.
Dodged through a meteor shower while going light speed.
Saw, thought and reacted with a plan in a microsecond.
Searched the ENTIRE earth, each corner and hole and house in less than a few seconds.
Scanned and searched with his own eyes the entire UNIVERSE in less than a few hours.
Thought and reacted in a nanosecond. Moving his arms and breaking chains....in a nano second.
He's faster than Flash in reaction and speed. Don't even try to bullshit and say he just flys fast.
