Best all around Marvel speedster...

This may be a stupid question, but how does Sentry's whole 2 seconds in the future thing (or however long it was) play into this, if at all? Does that just mean limited pre-cog, or does it mean he's always faster, because he's that far ahead of people? Or is it just plain BS?

It's bullshit that has never been shown or referenced since his origin.

Cosmic: Easily. Surfer is more than capable of doing that. He's actually got enough speed to compete and not die right away against Superman, even if Supes is better at using it and faster in combat.

Ha! I thought as much.

thats not bad...

still, Starhawk 😛

Hmmm... To the sun and back by the time The Sphinx yells "Noooo".

I think you vastly underestimate the power of the one who knows. sentry might beat him, but it isn't a stomp by any means (which has been my point all along really)

Exactly how close to the sun was he supposed to be?

Looks pretty close to me. That and looking at the alternative possibilities, it makes the most logical sense.

^Naija, how fast do you feel Surfer's punching speed is?

Processing speeds has to factor into motor response time on some level.

For example, if Quicksilver was punching Surfer as many times a second as he could, do you feel Surfer would be able to catch his fists?

I do feel he would be able to intercept them for sure. He has some pretty impressive and undeniable feats when his speed is emphasized.

ok, so just going by speed, his best feat is this one, which is great because it is also a combat feat. If need be, I can expand this point, but unlike a lot of the characters who are fast but more brawler or whatever, Starhawk is strictly a speed character, and his MO is to accelerate to FTL then blast at his opponents.

anyways, it says he goes instantly to lightspeed than increases it through "geometric compounding". if lightspeed = c, than "geometric compounding would be: c + cx + cx^2 + cx^3... etc. Taken with the "multi-erg" (which is a measure of power, like joules), we probably shouldn't try to figure out a quantifiable value, but it is clear that he very quickly can accelerate to multiple times the speed of light:

(notice, he is invisible to the pathbreakers sensors. These are good sensors. In the issue that immediatly preceded the one this scan is from, Starhawk was moving FTL when the robot attacked him. This means the robot CAN sense things FTL, but Starhawk now is moving so much beyond that)

Here we see his ability to dodge at FTL:

and he is quick enough to punk Mantis in h2h:

So, not just travel speed, but dodging and reflexes are incredibly fast.

I think Quan is going to take me up on the BZ, so if you want I can expand on the other stuff, like his durability, strength, healing, attacks, precog, awareness, intangibility, etc, but, you know, nice to keep some aces up the sleeve, and I'm lazy... so lazy....

but ya, with all his other powers, and his style of FTL combat in normal situations, he is a definate competator when considering who is the most effective speedster. My use of Starhawk in the tournament included him as a FTL medic, which by itself is AWESOME. Considering Starhawk can take blows from Mjolnir....

so ya, save turning this into a "respect the one who knows" thread, let me know what else you want to see.

no, you are right, I should keep that stuff on me. I'm sure my boss would understand. I mean, its arguing about superheroes on the internet!

Good stuff 👆

I hope to see that BZ. Should be good.

Sentry's best speed feat is catching a sniper bullet? the same type of sniper bullet that street levelers dodge without breaking a sweat?

it was a skrull rifle

Well, its definitely impressive for his sensory abilities then, but we don't know by how much, as we don't know how far away he was. Which in turn means we have no idea how fast he was going.

I doubt he was out in space or anything though. lol.

sentry could hear a hummingbird or some other animal in Africa from the US, thus he could of been continents apart

sentry's pretty fast imo faster than light

so we have even less knowledge about how fast the bullet would be?

He has flown to the sun in moments when fighting the Collective, he also flew to Jupiter in a couple panels.

ya, people have pointed that out to me already 🙂

Not quantifiable but he's flown to other planets / stars in the span of a few panels. I think he traveled to other Galaxies in a similar time frame but I'm not sure that was canon, it was a bed time story for Franklin Richards or something.
