SS has never moved his limbs FTL in a controlled manner without being in FTL travel through hyperspace. If you are traveling at FTL speeds and decided to make a hand gesture while traveling, then automatically your hand would move at FTL speed too (because your whole body is). But that doesn't mean you can move your hand that fast while standing still.
So your saying if you can travel at FTL speeds you [B]must have FTL reflexes? And don't give me that flying blind crap for even you can stop in time if you are light years away from your destination and you have human reflexes.And true one can be blind and have good reflexes through hearing.
But hear this:
You can be deaf and have good reflexes through sight. True or False?
If true then has Thor ever shown he can respond to sound faster than a human. If no, then you can't assume he can. Also in fairness, there has to be a physical bell in order to ensure that no one commences an attack before the other is able to try to commence one. That's like racing without a physical start instrument (one would be destined to take off before the other).
Yes Wolverine, Cap, etc don't not have FTL reflexes. But neither have they have ever dodged lasers from their reflexes. Moving in evasive action in order to not get hit is not dodging from reflexes (or seeing the attack coming and then moving). Now spiderman does have FTL reflexes. Since his spidersense tells him before the attack. Thus making his reflexes infinite speed (since he can dodge any speed provided he gets out of the way before the attack is launched).
You didn't counter my argument about Sue not being human and thus is feasible to have superhuman reflexes. It is understood that many characters have faster than human reflexes and it was never stated on panel (Hulk is one of them). And whose saying she needs FTL reflexes in order to get her shield up in time. Thor can supposedly throw his hammer at the speed of light (it is hyperbole though and not very credible) and not more. Thus she will need to get her shield up less than light speed. But she can (instantaneously). If Thor throws his hammer at the speed of light from 10 meters away then Sue would have to get her shield up in 33.33nanosec (add more time because of the whirl motion first). note : all this is assuming that she is responding to Thor . But since her shield gets up instanteously and planning is allowed before the bell then even with human reflexes she gets her shield up. And like you said reflexes are based on response to stimili. She doesn't need to respond to Thor. She has already decided to get her shield up before the fight began. Thus taking away the decision time to get them up. And add that it takes no time once she decides she wants her shield.
And where do you get the crap that all matter manipulation is psionic?
I seen with my very eyes that SS blasts (points his hand and fires) at target to manipulate its matter. I even seen visible power coming from his body before to a target in order to create an effect.
And Diana can move her limbs FTL (she blocks barrages of lasers and and other energy beams with pin point accuracy like a dayjob and even sending the beam back to its origin). Thus can easily land a blow on SS (since SS has never been shown to dodge FTL from an in-close battle situation and shows constantly that he cannot even dodge Hulk like speed). Now if you show me where he has dodge FTL attacks from up close quarters (or even from semiclose quarters) then I will agree that Diana will have a hard time connecting a hit on him. [/B]
Mindship already explained the scan showing FTL movement.
Answering a question with a question. Yes if one is traveling in a physical manner through space from A to B, reflexes match one's speed. To imply otherwise is silly. If one cannot perceive and react to the world they would never be able to control their trajectory and destination.
Which characters do you believe have FTL speed but don't have FTL reflexes?
I've never seen anyone on here actually take the bell thing literally.
Sue doesn't have superhuman reflexes. Your basis for saying she does is because she blocks bullets and lasers when bullets and lasers lose to everyone. There has never been anything to suggest she was physically enhanced by the Cosmic Rays. And she doesn't stand a chance in hell against Thor. I'm going to leave it at that since it's getting ridiculously off-topic.
Spider-Man does not have FTL reflexes. 😐
Matter manipulation is a psionic power, I've seen Surfer do it without firing a blast. Just like I've seen Sersi do it by firing a blast and I've also seen her do it purely by thought.
Repeating for the third time now: You haven't shown a single thing to suggest Diana can even catch up to Surfer.
