Has anyone in Marvel or DC fought so fast that it appears as if time stopped?
Another question... has anyone ever fought to the point where the entire fight was invisible to the necked eye. Not just a blitz at blinding speed... I'm referring to an entire fight taking place at invisible speeds.
I see a lot of people typing "character "A" won't be able to see character "B" during a fight but I can't think of anyone doing this minus Flash.
Does anyone have feats of characters doing this?
This is Makkari not even fully aware of what he's capable of. His abilities as an eternal is coming back to him slowly. There's some kind of Doppler effect happening to him in his "red" and "blue" perception. I think that has something to do with something moving at around light speed.
In DC you got more than a few examples but in Marvel it's rarer.
Nova and Makkari were already mentioned, but were Northstar and Aurora? Those are the only other characters that I recall speedblitzing on a regular basis. They are NOWHERE near as fast as the DC crew but Mach 10 flight speeds/blitzes are not bad at all!

I don't think there is any other way to describe a speedblitz, tbh.But keep in mind that 'character B' doesn't necessarily have to be KO'd for them to have still gotten blitzed.
Imo, members of the Flash Family (and co) are the only characters who speedblitz frequently enough on panel for it to be considered an 'in character' tactic... In DC, at least.
You forgot Superman

Nniiiice...that's the kind of speed fts I like to see... I don't think people minus flash have anything identical. I low Gladiator does...he worked on a computer for hours at hyper speed.
Can anyone post a scan minus flash surpassing or matching this speed ft?

Does it infrequently, but enough times to argue the tactic..
Off the top of my head, he's done it against Cyborg Supes, Bizarro Superman, Mongul Jr, and Lobo..
Personally, I usually just look at whether a character has the ability, and whether there's anything special about such a tactic, than whether he actually does it in comics..
I mean, Alan Scott manipulating time is within his range, but I wouldn't argue he does that.. But with a speed blitz, we're just talking about moving really fast and hitting someone. It's not a forgotten power or special skill they just don't use, it's the writers dumbing a character down...
Realistically, who WOULDN'T just pummel someone into oblivion if they have a major speed edge? That's why I chalk it up as PIS, and not CIS, because no ones so stupid they'd just slow themselves down to their slower opponents level..
Related question:
Lets say two people are fighting in the middle of an arena, with a crowd of people watching, including one hypersonic speedster that can catch bullets. The two combatants move so fast, they vanish in the middle of the ring.. To everyone, including the hypersonic speedster, it becomes an empty ring, but they're still in there fighting.
Is there any way the two guys in the middle of the ring can perform this feat and be sub light speed?
Thinking of a specific example, but I'm also just wondering..

I know what example you are thinking of. Im not going to post the scan though.

Indeed. 😄
So, how fast do you think that is? Cconsidering that one of the characters that couldn't see them was actually much faster than the hypersonic character that caught the bullets, and yet they were still invisible?

It's kind of hard to say. How fast would you have to be to catch twelve bullets from a machine gun point blank range? Then the person that disappeared in front of the bullets catcher is far greater in size than the bullets. So he would have to be moving at a FAR greater rate since someone that can basically see bullets in slow motion was unable to see this person at all.
Then you also have to add the fact that the person that was moving this fast wasn't just moving in a straight line...he was punching, kicking, dodging, blasting, talking...etc, etc...faster than even super human eyes could see.
The speed has to he insane imo but only people like Darthgoober, or even H1 would be the best people to ask about those type of calculations.
