So i stop debating with some people because their mind are only limited to DC bench marking and scale of power.Marvel have their fair of fanboyism but DC fanatics make less sense and have more ridiculous reasoning.
But the ridiculousness is half the fun in reading their posts 😄
But what you are defining as DC fanatics is largely people who think certain DC characters would win far more than lose because they would. Not so sure in this case because I think Sentry at his best might win even on feats and I'm very sure that in terms of the intent of each character, he would win at his most powerful. but I've been on boards where as soon as you put certain DC characters against a Marvel character, someone will post and say, "Oh joy, here comes the infamous DC speed blitz again."
The problem is it is often true, especially if you are dealing with Superman or Wonder Woman or the Martian Manhunter and, on the other side, the likes of the Hulk or the Thing. I'm not saying they aren't fast but DC tends to jack up the levels of their characters to insanity. Thor is kind of an exception. In his early days (see Essential Thor volume one) he had lots of very obvious, spelled out speed feats. Running at blur speed or so fast people didn't see him or caught a flicker. They haven't shown him do things like that for a long time but even so, his speed is highly debated.
Then there's bias from people who are mostly fans of only one of the companies. I also think Marvel somewhat shot themselves in the foot with the Marvel Handbooks. They wanted to sound reasonable by putting limits on their characters like lifting a hundred tons. Sure some of them are said to be able to lift 100+ tons and yet they fight characters that can lift less than 100 tons and its still a decent fight. They tend to put exact speed limits too.
The result is that a lot of people judge by what they see in the comics when they judge DC power levels. But they tend more to default to the handbooks when they think of Marvel power levels. They may not think that's what they are doing but they are. The problem is that most Marvel characters far exceed what it says they can do in the handbooks.
