Yeah that's after much time has past to accelerate to that speed. He has never shown that type of speed from a standing start.
Originally posted by Uriel005That feat had him intending to make Flash rescue the people in that amount of time. Funny how people accuse people of something they do. Some may not like the feat, but the art and the statement is clear.
good for him still has speed stolen... meh I just happen to think Flash if you take what is said about his abilities which is usually when he's doing them he happens to wind up being retardedly broken. Don't think I'm knocking other characters by comparison but someone who can literally turn moving things into not moving things energy included, can run through time and access a dimension that only one nonspeedster to my knowledge has accessed (gorflack), shown in Flash Rebirth to have something of a matter manip/generation capability. Additionally he completely smoked supes in that run as well a character who has done similar feats to surfers travel in terms of crossing stellar spans in seconds (surfer beats supes out there imo but still none to shabby to completely smoke someone like that).

Boy do I love that feat. If you ever needed a case of people picking and choosing to suit their argument, this is it. We're given time, distance, people, and speed. Any one of these numbers could be the "incorrect" one, but guess which one the Flash fans pick?
The one that doesn't belong? 😛
This fight is over before Zoom and Flash even know it's started. Before they can even react, Surfer absorbs enough energy to create a new universe, but in this universe all the planets are inhabited by Shalla Bals; surfer flies from planet to planet, making love to all of the quadrillions of that universe's shalla bals, then finally returns and decapitates Zoom and Flash with his surfboard before they can even do anything. Thanos grins and pimp-slaps their severed heads.
How did he do the feat then? If he ran any slower it would be impossible to do. Action>statements.

^ That he ran just under the speed of light? oic 👆
I do think it was a crazier feat though. So people can dismiss it as a high showing, but I don't think he was going under light speed. The feat wouldn't have been possible.

God said he was going under lightspeed on one of those little boxes.

Bare in mind I've forgotten the exact sit.. On that feat so .. 😮
Originally posted by Tha C-MasterI doubt you would apply that sort of logic equally across the board. Then again, let's test that out by trying one such variation:

(i) In one second, classic Wally saves 100 people from an explosion by setting them each down a mile away one at a time and saves the last person at the last possible microsecond... a feat that requires 1/1000th the speed of light...
... but the narration panel states he is running at near light speed the entire time, you're going to disregard the narration panel and say that he had to be only going 1/1000th the speed of light otherwise it's impossible?
Color me skeptical.
I'd go by the artwork and the fact that he saved the entire city at the same time. But even then it would be better to classify it (if you disagreed with it) as being something akin to Logan slicing Thanos with the power gem. I wouldn't say it was the other way around, though, just me.
Originally posted by 753Not at all, because if he was going under light speed or even at light speed he wouldn't have saved them. Unless the DC speed of light is 2.5 quintillion miles per second.
inpossible in the real world only.God said he was going under lightspeed on one of those little boxes.
I'd rather classify it as a crazy feat myself. Either way he has better feats. As we've hashed.
Originally posted by AmbientWell the artwork and the narration said that was what he did. The nuke had hit the ground during the feat. Which is why I say that he didn't do it at the under lightspeed. Didn't the writer rule it as that.
For all we know it took a few hours for that energy to build up for the explosion.. Conflicting statement = ??? action < definitive answer..Bare in mind I've forgotten the exact sit.. On that feat so .. 😮
