CISless Zoom vs Odin

It's not so much "broken implications" as it is "stretched fabrications." These "broken implications," for the most part, have little to do with the comics and don't merit serious consideration.

In some cases, you're right - ex. just because Superman saved the omniverse by vibrating one time, doesn't mean he'll ever do it again. However, I think as long as the 'points' made regarding speedsters are provable (and by "provable", I mean they can be substantiated by on panel showings), then there is no reason to doubt their validity.

...But I really couldn't tell you if the points made in this thread are valid or not, as I haven't read any pages aside from this one.

I know you're picking that randomly as an example, but there's a lot of context to the "saved the omniverse" feat.

Proper substantiation should find confirmation within the comics, that much I agree. And if there is little to no affirmation within the comics present, that's an indication that liberties are being taken.

Its pretty much the same arguments as the other thread minus the Flash 😛

Rationalizing that his regular punches get weaker exponentially is fine up to a certain point(not that I would even agree with the way your trying to portray it as) but when you try and turn that into an argument about his IMPS which always constantly increase it becomes stupid.

Odin's destructive capacity isn't an argument for him auto winning a fight where hes outmatched in speed and versatility.
Its like saying Galactus can kill the Phantom Stranger because his destructive capacity is greater.
Fallacious arguments that aren't getting you anywhere and just make this thread go in circles.

Give me an example of Zoom throwing millions of Superman level punches.

I agree. Without substantive on panel proof to back up an opinion, it is only that... Opinion. Hardly 100% factual.

Now if an opinion is based on a character's on panel showings, then that is another story entirely.

There isn't any so why ask?

Would it be because of the logic, "Since he hasn't shown it then he can't do it?"

So you can't prove that Zoom can throw millions of Superman level punches?

Because of his abilties. Just like Flash punching out numerous people in the first picosend of the comic and ending it hasn't been done.

People are claiming that Zoom can hit with the force of multiple galaxies, for starters.
Are they serious? Or just being sarcastic?

From Galans Respect thread.

no quite serious. which is what happens when this type of unfounded CIS-less talk is taken to its natural conclusions. you suddenly realize everyone who can approach the speed of light can throw imps and with force enough to destroy galaxies. makes a lot of sense.

He has the potential to do so I suppose, but not "just like that".

What I mean is theoretically his impact increases indefinitely, so it is possible in that aspect. The feasibility is another thing entirely.

no, it's not possible--not unless you're willing to accept that every single character who can approach c in the dcu can do the same. and no, again, because you are applying real world logic and theory to arrive at your conclusion which is of course pointless because (a) the attack itself does not even FOLLOW the real world theory, and (b) it is a comicbook where real life theory fails. so i'll completely disagree with you on both counts--it is neither theoretically possible as it follows no 'real' theory, and because of that it is not only 'not feasible' it is impossible for zoom to punch with force enough to destroy a thousand galaxies.

Zoom not having a defined upper limit to his speed/punching power, doesn't give us automatic authority to make up our own. His hardest punches (on panel) were Superman-level, therefore, he's not going to hit harder than that in this thread (CIS off or not.)

We use what we have, not what we think.

Within reason. Of course someone saying "Flash drops the universe on someone in the first 5 seconds of battle" is over the top. Saying "Flash can't ko someone in the beginning of the match" is not. It is explained in the rules.

I wouldn't argue Zoom doing that, but I was just saying based on his powers it isn't impossible just impractical.

I disagree. Since the (well at least the IMP) is allowed to do so without a negative effect on the body and follows the aforementioned theories. Well it picks and chooses which parts of the theory it wants to follow, but it does follow the "steadily increasing mass".

Which is why I said theoretically it is possible, but making it feasible in a match is another thing entirely.

And going at "C" and going much faster than "C" to one's will is a totally different story altogether.

I agree.

I wasn't referring to you at all. 😉

Nah you know better 😛

Of course I can but millions would be irrelevant wouldn't it?

Only in the D.C. universe though. Marvel doesn't use relativity.

How many would it take?

But Zoom never intended to kill anyone. He always wants to instruct.
That means he just as easily could have punched someone a little closer to the speed of light and they are dead. Remember CIS is off.
