i don't have to prove it. his amount of combat speed feats sets the precedent that he can and does use his speed when the situation calls for it. it's been proven.
I am just saying that any artist has to convey what is going on with on panel confirmation.
i disagree. there are tons of instances where characters with speed fight each other, but there is no mention of them actually using it. again, the precedent is set.
Superman and WW both seemed to have an edge over Konvikt, but it wasn't just a one on one battle anyways and the bought him enough time to recover from the initial shot he took.
for several panels superman is facing him one on one and dominates him.
I am not saying there is a reason I am saying it's in character for Superman to take on a brick without blitzing. It's still a viable option, but he isn't doing it ten out of ten times is my point.
as soon as he realises he's up against someone as strong as the hulk, though, he would use it, because it's the way he is. he's in it to win either way. if he can't do it with strength, he'll add some speed.
