I would not immediately think this is this, especially if they were acting differently than each other.
Anyways, I think we're going vastly on a tangent...so let's get back on topic.

Still, isn't that when you're looking for it? Picture 'em just passing by on the street. Can you recognize the famous people from childhood photos if you aren't told to look for them? I.e. If you're looking through a photo album of someone's uncle, will you immediately recognize kid De Niro in it, if you're not told there's any famous people at all? There's a huge difference between that and being shown an album and asked 'which one is De Niro/which one is famous?'.
Another Nail got it dead on when Superman showed up with a beard and heavy disguise, Lois took one look and said, "You look like you're hiding your identity," then took it down to something like the classic Clark look (which didn't exist in-universe prior to that).
If people don't think you're hiding something they won't generally give you a second glance.

Eh, it's a fun one 🙂

I might be willing to compromise here. How about a five-legged cheetah? Those must go really fast. The extra leg and all.
i'm more inclined to believe that dodging laser beams/ energy blasts means the characters have super ninja reflex speed and every one knows that ninjas are FTL

I thin kthe fact that how close the bullets are to him, the fact that his webs arent actually slow. and That he actually reacts before the person is done pulling the trigger most of the times, would allow him such a thing. Spider-sense gives him a headstart remember, that + his reflexes should do the trick.

They aren't slow, but they're not even remotely near bullets.
Heck, fun fact, there's no way the trigger mechanism is fast enough to react to a bullet in mid-air. The triggering mechanism of a gun takes far more time than it's traveling to a target in most circumstances.

Yea, anticipation will do. I guess not the best example scan.

Why is that unbelievable? Punch beats everything in comics. Except maybe a kick from Batman.
dd's nickname should be "bertron's titanic"

He never actually resurrected on his own after Imperiex's entropy blast killed him, he was regrown using some of Superman's DNA. So current DD =/= H/P DD.

GL blasts, Superman's HV, Cyclops' optic blasts, Darkseid's Omega Beams, Iron Man's repulsor rays were the ones I mentioned off the top of my head. This is a wide variety of energy beams/rays/lasers that have nothing to do with each other, but coincidentally enough, have been specifically quantified on-panel as matching/exceeding light speed. And I haven't seen that kind of wide variety of scans where energy blasts are specifically quantified as going at "cheetah speed" at all. The entire E-M spectrum of known energy also travels at light speed.And the argument is, whether this coincidence is indicative of a clearly obvious pattern... or, "energy blast default speed = cheetah speed," or apparently, "conartistry."
Prove it.
I don't believe Darkseid's beams have ever been stated to travel light speed although they can travel through time and space (this is not speed but teleportation and time travel).
A GL can create EM beams so it is possible they have CERTAIN beams that can travel light speed. I've never seen it stated that they actually went light speed though.
Neither have I've seen Iron Man's repulsor rays as being mentioned to travel the speed of light either.
Superman's HV, I will give you that ONE.

well thats my pointjust because cyke shoots multiple potshots...it doesn't mean either 1) he has FTL reflexes (which would have to be the case if you consider the potshots traveling at lightspeed) OR 2) his potshots are NOT traveling at lightspeed (as it would be impossible for his less than FTL reflexes to perform if his beams were lightspeed)
because there exists the third plausible option that comic writers aren't taking all factors into consideration when they create a panel
Yet people are using feats of when someone blocks a random blast of energy that they have FTL reflexes.
I think Clark gets away with someone not knowing he is Superman because most believe that Superman doesn't have a secret identity but rather believe that he is Superman 24/7.
Superman's hair changes a lot too when he becomes Clark. The hair means a lot. With glasses and a good change of the hair anyone can look like a completely different person, especially if one has the notion that they aren't playing two different people.

Reread Final Crisis.
Originally posted by h1a8I can't recall any post-Crisis GLs, other than perhaps Kyle with his special ring and amps (has he even?), ever emitting E-M spectrum energy from their GL rings. Feel free to post a scan for me proving otherwise. Back on the subject: I believe you when you say that you've never seen it stated that a GL beam goes at light speed. For that, read Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale.

Again, I believe you.
How unsurprising.
Originally posted by h1a8And since random energy beams/rays/lasers are made of cheetah pieces, it's more logical to assume that's a feat of FTC reflexes, amirite?

Very few people seem to know/acknowledge that.
