as far as reverse-projection: i'm simply using the origin as one more source of inferential and implied data. one more brick in the house.
You're trying to convince me that Doomsday having superspeed shouldn't be surprising since he has Kryptonian origins and that comparing Hulk's agility to Doomsday's is ridiculous. If you're not, then I don't care what you think. I think those two premises are laughable. Completely laughable.
Yes, Speedfreak was zooming around Professor Hulk. And then Professor Hulk started dodging him and Speedfreak exclaimed how Hulk couldn't dodge him forever. Which is right about when Hulk ended the fight anyway.

the thing about dd vs hulk--his speed was referrenced OFTEN. and it wasn't just by slow guys. a POINT WAS MADE in its referrencing. you'll say the same point is made when hulk's speed is referrenced but that is different because the context and intent differs. superman says he's as fast as lightning. hyperbole? perhaps, but it certainly is made to appear less so because it was referrenced so many times. is he faster than flash? no. but was there a point in such a declaration? of course. i don't see anyone saying hulk is faster than quicksilver. given his ltd appearances and the number of times his speed is referrenced, i think it clear as day that we are to assume a level of superspeed well beyond hulk.
Guy Gardner. Booster Gold. Who else? No, nobody's stated Hulk is as fast as Quicksilver. People have sad Captain America is as fast as Quicksilver though.

and as to your claim that we both know hulk's done everything speed wise dd has....? well, no. he hasn't. show hulk actually overwhelming someone with his speed (anyone, forget people with legit dc-esque superspeed) instead of simply surprising them. that is a very large distinction.so, yeah.
No sh1t. Show me where you can completely and utterly divorce characters' exclamations from the fact that Doomsday surprised people with his speed. That
is a very large distinction.
So, yeah.
