7,7000 miles per hour isn't even light speed

There's nothing on panel to suggest that, that I can recall. 🙂

Is this a version of superman that doesn't require breathing? AkA, can move indefinitely through space without air? (cause, IIRC, there are versions that can't.). Also what happens if he's too long away from a yellow sun or encounters several red suns on the way? Can he even take his sweet time on solar systems with red suns?

As for Apoc, Apoc can absorb mass from extra-dimensional sources or something, iirc. He can simply throw mass in one direction to gain constant acceleration, after some time with constant acceleration he can reach close to light speed in this universe. Due to time dilation while centuries might pass outside, he'd subjectively experience just decades to reach the end of the visible universe.

Do the math on that one.

It's much faster than a million times c.

Oooh... for some reason it didn't seem that fast when I just saw the number 25.3.

So that one's something like 10^6-10^7 x c.

batdude123 Fellow Tu Quoqumber

Pretty fast.

It isn't?

Are you sure? I mean, c'mon. Seven thousand is a big number! No way is light that fast!

Not to mention, if you were interested in exploring the cosmos, Superman's powers are much better suited.

I was about to say surely you could transform into a space ship and fly around. Probably one not so stupid looking. And without the comical laughing. Or with.

With a body made of shapeshifting celestial technology, you'd think you'd be able to give yourself warp capabilities. I'm surprised people haven't seen an episode of Star Trek is all I'm saying.

1 nuke shouldn't be even a slight danger to Apocalypse.

What's the longest distance Apocalypse has teleported on panel? Didn't he teleport from Earth to the Moon?

Apoc non jobbing should pwn ANY herald lvl being. I'd take his power set any day over superman's.

Nvr kind of has a point. Power-wise Apocalypse is no slouch. He's essentially a blend of Martian Manhunter and Cyborg Superman, sans the DC Comics "everyone travels/reacts at lightspeed" treatment, and telepathy feats of J'onn's scale.

His powers aren't the problem...

He's not pwning every herald level character.

He's a techno green lantern...or more along the lines of an Engineer with more powers.

Powerwise, he can get creative. On panel evidence suggests he sucks at using said powers ermm

Bingo.

However, even with proper execution of said powers, he isn't beating every herald level character.

Blair Wind The Iron Avenger

You can get pretty creative with tech BD. I mean if he can really do anything he can imagine with tech, he could potentially create the ultimate nullifier (or any of the tech Doom uses to pwn Silver Surfer ala stealing his powers) So yes, with proper execution he COULD pwn a herald level character.

In this case its intelligence vs raw power. If you are intelligent, using Apocs powers can provide greater returns. If you do not feel like thinking much, go for Superman's powers, they are still a blast to use.
