No, it regulates all the speed of those connected to it. Superman, Black Adam, etc. do not tap into the speed-force for their speed.
He's stolen speed from supes before and cheetah as well off the topi of my head, even Jay Garrick has stolen speed from supes before, and Black Adam. Flash has even stolen speed from inanimate objects.
Flash can also lend speed, and yes he can lend it to those not connected to the speed force.
Well...okay. But I dunno why you'd specify that. 😛 Considering the match is WWH and not base Hulk.
To give an idea of how strong Supes is.
Naw, you're missing my point. Yeah he uses superspeed. But to say he won't get tagged by Hulk because he's using it is fallicious, because like you said - Flash has been tagged by plenty of people who lack super speed.
They use super-speed quite often. The flash especially. It isn't drastically out of character for Supes to use super-speed, especially if his friends are in danger.
As for the flash, it's a bit of a stretch if you're gonna say Flash can't take the hulk down because he's been hit by people who lack speed. If superman and flash blitzed every villain right away, comics would be over in 2 pages.

No, I agree. But Supes used his superspeed against other bricks before as well. DD, Grundy, The General, Konvikt. All of them still managed to hit and hurt him. [/QUOTE]
Considering other times Supes has casually used his speed to avoid bricks like Lobo, Mongul, and even Doomsday, I tend to say Grundy and others hitting a speeding superman is poor writing. Writers don't always capture Supermans speed correctly. One instance he was trying to save a baby, so he hooks up some tech to himself to allow him to move his fastest without hurting the baby. Yet, someone caught up to him in a friggin FIGHTER jet. Tell me that makes any sense?
Besides this, the OHOTMU 2004 confirms that the Hulk has superspeed.
Eh, the handbook makes a lot of dubious claims. Can you name even one bullet timing feat for the hulk?
She's been rocked by typical bricks before. WWH isn't typical. He's got combat skills and military strategy experience from his time on Sakaar. And he's got superspeed. Not on par with Diana or Supes or MM, but enough to hit them and hit them hard. As he does to Sentry.
I'll agree that WW doesn't use her speed nearly as much as Supes or Flash. But again: Hulk is quick for his size, that isn't super-speed. If you have actual speed feats for him..by all means list them.
Regarding your argument about MM using his psychic abilites on Hulk - it won't work. He's resisted those attacks from from Xemnu, Cable, Professor Phobos and Professor Xavier.
I said he would use them on the warbound. I'm fully aware of the hulk's resistance to telepathy. J'onn has other options in beating the hulk.
Can you prove me wrong or give me some examples? If so, I'll concede the point and the JLA's work just got a lot easier.
I gave you examples above.
John also got WTFpwned by Konvikt. And none of the GLs did well against Superboy/man Prime. I realize that Prime is above WWH in power, but in physical strength, durability, and resistance...they're about equal.
Yet other times John's GL shields were strong enough to shrug off attacks that would of even hurt Superman. You're going by their low end showings.
As for WWH being equal to Prime, based off of what evidence? Prime is a confirmed planet mover, hulk is not. Hulk might have some insane regen, but he isn't anywhere near as durable as normal Supes, let alone Primes. Same for resistances, hulk being resistant to telepathy doesn't make him more overall resistant. Simply being kryptonian makes prime resistant to a large amount of things, including low level telepaths. Plus Prime himself, dude ate some friggin uranium and all he said was "yum"
The only thing equal about the characters is that they are both horribly written.
He took a step and nearly destroyed the entire east coast of the US. He was literally glowing from the amount of gamma he was putting out. Nearly any DC brick would've gotten wrecked by him - especially any on the JLA.
Which doesn't translate into him being a planet buster. Superman has shaken the ENTIRE planet with the force of his punches. He almost knocked the moon out of orbit by pounding inside the watchtower. When the moon was falling towards Earth Superman got the last and longest shift of holding it back, by himself. When you think about it, WWH isn't even physically superior to Supes. Destroying an entire east coast isn't superior to shaking the entire planet.
As for saying people in the JLA would get wrecked by him? Some would, but people like Supes and MM? Doubtful. Superman for instance has survived beatings from people physically stronger than him(and WWH) and not been completely owned. Yeah he felt the punches, but he wasn't wrecked.
MM has some nice durability plus he can shapeshift into a substance so hard that etrigan hurts himself by punching it. Keep in mind Etrigan is near Superman in terms of physical strength, able to casually *****-slap Superman to the moon.
Also I will point out that no, Hulk can't affect intangible beings. He can see people in their astral forms, he might be able to see intangible beings, but he definitely cannot touch them.
