Flash vs Storm

Either you don't know a damn thing about Flash, a damn thing about Jean, and/or not enough about Storm.

Or, you're just too stubborn to realize you're wrong and concede.

What's it gonna be?

I'm going to take this over in a calm manner. First what the hell are you talking about in the first place, diden't i say storm loses? Is that not enough? I said storm loses plain and simple because she is too slow(flash moves faster then instantly), how am i dumb for saying that, or are you saying i'm dumb because storm can beat flash? I think your are really just trying to annoy me because that statment was completly pointless and uncalled for.

First off. I apologize. I'm taking out my anger from my incomplete homework on you. So, I'm sorry about that, shouldn't have done it.

Secondly. However, I did not make this thread. Yes, I did know the winner of it though. Because it's common sense. Standing still after the lightning bolt has been conjured, Flash can STILL easily evade the bolt and kill Storm before the bolt even hits the ground. However, given the same parameters against a telepath of high enough calibur, Flash would go down.

So, let's think about this logically, shall we?

Split second = (Oh, I dunno..., I'll give Storm the benefit of the doubt) 0.5 seconds maybe?
Instantaneous = 0.0 seconds. <--This means it happens as it's thought.

See, in Storm's case, she thinks the attack, and then it happens. However, for Jean, all she has to do is think it. Her thoughts = attack/action. They just occur faster than Storm can produce any sort of attack.

It's just the universal fact of being a telepath/telekinetic. Yes, Storm is a off-branch of telekinetics, but not a TRUE telekinetic.

Not that it would ever be an issue, but Jean's shields could easily withstand Storm's lightning, or even a large storm. Storm, however, cannot withstand at all any sort of telepathic/telekinetic attack meant for her death.

split second

A very short time (as the time it takes the eye blink or the heart to beat); "if I had the chance I'd do it in a flash" [syn: blink of an eye, flash, heartbeat, instant, jiffy, trice, twinkling, wink, New York minute]

That is indeed instantly with no lag, how am i dumb when the definition is sitting right in the dictionary as fact.

Now that storm and jean's powers work instantly, that mean's both shall strike at the exact same time, what will hit first? A mind bolt or a lightning bolt? Light travels faster then the mind so the lightning shall be the victor, But this is reality science and not comic science. What happens if the mental bolt and the lightning bolt strike at the same time? Double K.O Which was the point of what HOF was talking about.

Who said that Jean is going to launch an mind bolt? That takes more time.

But when she thinks that she is snapping someone's neck, the neck snaps at the EXACT moment she thinks so. When Storm thinks that she shoots the lightning, lightning appears AFTER she thinks so. It appears fast, yes, but still after the thought.

It's simple logic. Comic book world, real world, Jean is faster nonetheless.

It's going to at least take an instant to snap storm's kneck and by then storm would have a lightning bolt sailing straight for her, making it a double K.O. like HOF said. Do keep in mind that lightning is quicker then thought so pretty much the lightning is sitting on her when she thinks of it, in which take no time at all, it will be a close match and i beileve it's a 50/50 chance for both ladies.

That dictionary definition refers to instant n. not instant adj. or adv.... inability to comprehend a dictionary definition vindicates Metalmanx's earlier comment.

Why do you keep trying to argue about this.

1. Occurring at once; immediate: instant gratification.
2. Imperative; urgent: an instant need.
adv. At once instantly.

blink of an eye

n : a very short time (as the time it takes the eye blink or the heart to beat); "if I had the chance I'd do it in a flash" [syn: flash, heartbeat, instant, jiffy, split second, trice, twinkling, wink, New York minute]

...Eh? Lost me there, long pig.

"flash, heartbeat, instant, jiffy, split second, trice, twinkling, wink, New York minute" all nouns and non-literal idioms. Storm generates lightning jiffily. Woopdeedoo.

You don't see it yet?

You're confusing "instant" (adjective/adverb) with "instant" (noun). While you may believe they're the same, they are not.

That's what X is pointing out to you.

The comic scans say split second and blink of an eye without the noun, and it would have to be in a split second when your in a car explosion and have wind lift you out during that time the car explodes and moved to safty.

Ok, since we're doing spelling stuff: In all seriousness, when the hell are you supposed to use ";" at in a sentence?

Also, how do I stop my sentences from running? A trip wire? ZING! Nah, serious.

split second&#8194;
1. a fraction of a second.
2. an infinitesimal amount of time; instant; twinkling.

Without the noun

You mean that scan where Storm is hovering over a car's flames? Sure seemed to linger there for awhile, for having such an instant connection with the weather. She was there long enough to be hurt and highly uncomfortable, which means her powers are not instant. For if they were, she wouldn't have even been in that situation long enough to feel the burn.

By the way, you forget to take into account that when Storm produces offensive weather effects, she must first produce the appropriate weather. I can't think of any time in a comic when Storm needs lightning that she doesn't produce the necessary black storm cloud first. She creates and manipulates weather, but can't do anything that the planet can't handle. Thus, she cannot produce a lightning bolt from a regular, sunny day cloud. So, in order for her to have a lightning bolt ready to attack Jean, she would require unfairly-advantaged prep time.

However, she can discharge lightning from her hands whenever she wants. But we're not talking about that kind of lightning.

...Huh?

Those were the noun definitions you just gave. 🤨

The semicolon is close to a full stop, but not quite.

So, it's something but not really?
Oh, great help.
