A distinction without much difference.
Whether he truly PHASED and had the attack pass THROUGH him, or TELEPORTED in a fraction of a second forward and back to avoid the attack, or simply had such a high level of super-SPEED and was able to simply side-step the attack by a fraction of an inch, and half a semi-second later returned to where he was standing ....it would all be the exact same process in terms of RESULT and OBSERVATION.
The attack would either be passing through him (legit phasing ....similar to what someone like the Martian Manhunter can do), or it would seem to be passing through him due to him moving so fast through sheer speed or through teleportation (similar to what someone like Superman and the Flash do when they let attacks like Doomsday's fire breath - for Supes - or other attacks - for Flash - simply SEEM to pass, or phase, through them).
The effect would be the same ....it's just the method of doing it that would be different. In all 3 cases (true phasing, fractionized teleportation, or instant speed-shunt) the result would be that the fire-ball/sonic-boom/whatever would be passing through where they were.
Thus, a distinction without a difference.
As for what Badabing had originally asked ( Umm, this isn't a vs thread. It's a discussion thread to see if we can have a few vg vs threads here.), I believe we can and we should.
For that matter, a number of the VG characters have become very legitimate comic-book characters ....in particular the Street Fighter series.
