Sure he does.

Supes doesn't have FTL reflexes either, but he does come a lot closer to that than Thor does.

He really doesn't. He just has the ability to go into FTL flight speeds really fast.

But if this is going to turn into a "yeah-huh"-"nuh-uh" argument, let me know.

I'm talking about his reflexes, and they are.

It probably will.

I've debated this with someone a while ago. I've seen Supes display really, really fast reflexes, but nothing to indicate FTL.

For flight speed, I would say Superman is faster than Thor, certainly. And faster running on the ground. Thor's great speed feat in covering distances is using mjolnir to teleport himself - it's why he gets a perfect 7 in speed in the latest Marvel Universe stats. And his reflexes fighting in close h2h, are as fast as anyone's.

I've seen him fly while talking about flying at lightspeed being used as proof that he has LS reflexes, but it doesn't prove too much.

He really, really, realllllly doesn't. Not faster than light or at lightspeed reflexes that I know of.

Yeah he does.

You're going to have to be more convincing than that. At least Soujaboy tried to put some reasoning behind his arguments.

What the hell do you call fighting Wonder Woman from the earth to the sun and back in under two minutes?

Flight speed. Flying to the sun and flying back to Earth. Not the same as reflex/combat speed.

He was fighting her the entire time. eer

He spped-blitzed her and flew her to the Sun. No punches were thrown until they reached the Sun where he just punched her once and sent her back to Earth. Again, nothing to indicate FTL reflexes, just FTL flight speed.

Bah!!! Correct.

But that was one mighty pimp smack. 😮‍💨

Anyway, I still maintain my position. If he didn't have light speed, or faster than light speed reflexes, he couldn't be able to perceive lightning as moving in "slow motion."

Where does this "lightening moves in slow motion" that Superman supposedly said come from?

Are you sure it wasn't:
Magical lightening i.e Captain Marvel (his lightening has a history of being slow enough to dodge)

or

Some blast from a badguy. In comics, blasts are far, far slower than true blasts. Take electro, his bolts have been dodged all the time but his powers are near lightspeed.

It's just something fishy about Superman ever saying nature lightening moves slow to him.

I think it's this scan...

But does it matter? Since lightning does not travel at the speed of light....

So? If you have slower than light speed reflexes (as lp and Accel are saying), you wouldn't be able to see ANYTHING going at 1/2 light speed to be travelling in "slow motion."
