dear dear dear. where do i begin.
Fact: wonder woman has on occasion blocked light speed attacks from multiple directions. this means she was moving her arms in punch like fashion with pin point accuracy and top tier hand eye coordination. of course if she is being attacked this would be COMBAT that she is in and thus, reacting at FTL speeds in COMBAT situations.
Let's look at a couple of things that may not be obvious to the casual wonder woman reader but, to one such as i, the fangirl101: it is plain as day. In the scan below, FLASH is asking what happened to wonder woman. this would indicate that she moved so fast, and he was preoccupied as well, as he didn't catch what happened to her. martian manhunter is using martian vision and gl is using his ring to make a telescope, illustrated by the telescopic green circle, to indicate that she is some distance off the planet. where am i going with this? well, wonder woman was fast enough to forcibly fight, as in combat, a white martian off world in less than a few seconds. she moved at faster than escape velocity, much faster, while battling a being who is described as strong and tuff as superman in the story arc. that is a combat speed feat. oh, and then she returns to the planet in less than a second flat after she beats up on primaid. another speed feat.now, on to the next COMBAT speed feat. in the scan below, wonder woman is blocking pieces of the shattered god's light particles, in sustained combat. she's protecting herself and the other gods from the shattered god. and the shards are compared to the power of a small star. take a gander at her hands. they are moving at ftl speeds in a FIST position. if one didn't know that she was defending, it would look as if she were pummeling him. you know why? becuz it is no stretch at all, to see that she could pummel someone with the same speed and accuracy that she blocks. actually it would be easier as she would only have one target. when she's blocking, she has multiple targets in multiple directions.
in this next scan, wonder woman speed blitzes the uber powerful white demon.
in this next scan, please note the swoosh lines drawn about wonder woman. swoosh indicates some measure of speed. i'm not saying that it's light speed. but it's clear that she and superman are trading blows at an accelerated pace. this is another combat scene.
Now if you dont' think wonder woman can strike at superspeed, then take a gander at what she did with her foot while fighting doomsday superman
wonder woman moves at superspeed to fight a demon before superman can react IN COMBAT
need i go on, or have you had enough. it's clearly clear, that you didn't know that wonder woman has fought in superspeed mode. fangirl101, game, set, match!!!
only one of these scans show combat speed (the blocking energy bolt from gods in all directions) the rest is just flight speed (oh and the foot thing too is super speed)
I do believe that ww does have combat speed the problem is, is that she rarly ever shows it. With non speedsters that have superspeed their powers should be explained as having to go into a speed like state that they have to switch on like an energy beam that would make comics make a little more sence.
