I'm repsonding to a statement that was made in the thread, so my comment was and is relevant.
We're ten pages in. You've been 'responding' this entire time, even towards people who are interested in a completely different discussion.
Move the **** on.

If they are interested in a completely different discussion, why do they keep trying to convince me that Slade can kill Alex before he could activate his powers?
Yo.

well hey now, disagreeing is all well and dandy; I do it myself every now & again........... 😄

well, specifically U said:
he still has to cross the distance before he can attack and there is no way he can do that before Alex thinks "blast".
........and THAT can be argued to not be accurate, seeing as how a man w/a snipers rifle can stay right where he is & take ya out from a great distance. 😉

.......ok, that would make sense.

Been posting this like several times already.. does no one read what I post? 🙁
but plz note: thats not applicable to EVERY caliber of bullet

ahh, my mistake: I was using "meter", instead of "feet", which *would* drastically alter the power of any bullet..........my bad. 😮

Why not? They're arguing that DS will be too fast for Havoc. That might be true, but distance and the bullet speed should still give Havoc enough time to react. Thus, we are arguing that the bullet still NEEDS to travel the distance needed to hit Havoc and the time it takes to do so would give Havoc sufficient time to think "omniblast" or "plasma shielding" in a quickdraw scenario.
Bullets exist in real life and (for the most part) are quite measurable. Thus, we should be able to use RL physics computations to make our points.
Unless there is something in comics that state that Slade's bullets somehow move faster than the fastest bullet that exists today, I don't see why we can't use this type of argumentation to make our case.
Is there any proof havock can just omniblast off the cuff with no prep to charge or situate himself? I know he's never done it in xfactor books. And doesn't he wear a suit that keeps his his energy contained. Like cyclops' visor. If he has to get naked to do it or be in street clothes, this fight is over before it starts.

I'm not the Havoc experty, sadly, so I can't really tell ye. However, (IIRC) based on how his powers have been described in the past, its a constant omnidirectional blast that he contains via his suit as well as training/concentration similar to how Scott's eyes are in a constant energy blast (that's contained via ruby quartz). I don't see why he can't just let loose with an omniblast.
Also, he's been able to erect force fields before. I think in this scenario, he's more likely to do that than do an omniblast in a quick-draw.
I think this fight will come down to more than a quick-draw, tbh.
That's what i'm saying, his suit contains his energy. How does he omniblast through a suit that blocks his energy? I've seen the scans and he doesn't seem to be wearing his suit when he does it. DS's staff isn't some one trick pony, i've seen it do hundreds of different things. from blasts, KO gas, electric attacks, sound attacks, neural disruption to making a shield and in one issue, absorbing starfire's blast (although he's dodged her blasts so easily she comments 'he moves around them like they are standing still. Kid flash can't even do that'😉. It's basically a lethal version of batman's utility belt.
