So your reasoning is that because Supes has used sound/vibration effectively that it translates into him not being able to be harmed by it? So would you argue that because he shoots heat vision that he can't be harmed by that as well?If you guys want to argue Supes vs Blackbolt then dig up the old thread and we can do it there.

Well, that's kind of what I'm getting at. Majestic can, and has, reacted on a nanosecond-by-nanosecond basis on panel. He certainly has the ability to blitz the shit out of BB.
However, even IF BB managed to get off a scream, just how fast do the waves produced by his scream travel? Seems like they'd be limited to the speed of sound, and if that's the case, avoiding them would be effortlessly achieved by Maj... But I'm not 100% sure how fast his voice travels, hence my question.

If Carver is considered mentally retarded whilst the above post is supposed to represent the average intellect then the human race is in some serious trouble.

Is CIS on because if so, I don't see 90% of the things being mentioned in this thread happening.
edit: btw that is not to say I don't think black bolts voice wouldn't hurt majestic. I just don't think the ******* would give him the chance to use it.

I'm sitting here with the trades of his minis/solos when he was written at his peak (imo) and some of the later more recent stuff as well. I'll browse through them again to see how often he blitzes.
You might find him building devices at super speed but starting a fight out in a blitz fashion...it ain't there.
The thing about speed is that you don't often see a true speedblitz (at least the ones described in the forums as tactics) happen in the pages of comics. You will see things done via superspeed such as evacuating a city, building a city, or assembling tech in mere moments. Generally, proponents of speedblitzing/"speed kills" will argue that because those things are more complex and require more effort and thought than simply punching someone a billion times a second, it should be common sense that they could fight that fast. It's not wrong in theory, but it opens up a slippery slope if you base things on what could feasibly happen in comics based on what a specific power or ability can do.
Superhuman speed is a power just like energy manipulation, super strength, telepathy, etc. It just seems to get a pass more often than not under the virtue if you're faster than your opponent, you simply can dominate them with ease. In reality, that would certainly hold true more often than not, but in the world of comics, not so much. I don't think speed isn't important at all concerning forum fights, but I don't subscribe to the theory than under a forum battle, speed suddenly trumps everything and any instance of it not doing so in a comic is automatically PIS. There's a healthy medium, I feel.
Concerning this fight, Majestic should get the majority due to his stats, but really, the idea of Bolt's voice not effecting him is ridiculous. I don't see Superman effortlessly beating down Bolt, either (though he'd get a decent majority as well).
