Mind linking me to the Mark Waid interview?
A mutant with an a mutation that allows for adaptability should work. If you completely eliminate PIS and CIS then IMO several mutants should be able to overcome, Sebastian Shaw and Strong Guy would eventually be able to counter. Shadow Cat should be able to, as should HP Doomsday and Nimrod fo shizzle. Cannon Ball should be able to if his shields are up.

It doesn't really work like that, even Superman, who it seems can turn up or turn down his perceptions (so a second doesn't feel like days or something, and he would be able to interact with normal people everyday without going mad from boredom), is still able to perform superspeed feats on a dime.If someone shot a bullet at lois from 10 feet away, and clark was standing right next to her, if his perception speed was TRULY turned down to human level, then the bullet would have already hit Lois by the time his human level brain speed was turned up to be fast enough to react to the bullet.
Yet we know, by feats, Clark would have no problem stopping that bullet even if the gunman fired it from 10 feet away while Clark's back was turned, even if he was interacting with Lois like any human level perception speed entity would, just hundredths of a second before it was fired.
It seems to me, Superman is simply able to walk both lines. I chalk it up to psionics, somehow.

Yep.I believe one eye worked at normal speeds and the other at superspeeds, right?
This sequence is the one where he's coming in at re-entry speeds and kind of illustrates that. The copter appears to be frozen in place when he focuses. Then he dodges it.

Mills. Do you think Nova could have reacted to Supes and Flash when Flash was in the Diner eating pie?

New Teen Nova speed blitzes Hulk 10/10 in a forum fight then.
Prove me wrong.
😱
There are actually a number of options, just not very common ones.
Defense:
vast durability advantage
auto-shields
an appropriate nullification/absorption power
default intangibility (like a ghost)
a "hydra" power ("destroy one and two pop up" sort of thing)
reality warping field
ability to fight without a literal body (Iceman becoming water particles and such)
a logia devil fruit power (from One Piece)*
Offense:
AOE
auto-hit (like most spells)*
a fast weapon (like Mjolnir)
Telepathy
* my choice

The question posed here today is what power(s) can handily counter the blitz, coming from a herald leveler?keep it under Trans boys....and the trolling to a minimum
😛
Shields are problematic.

Wow, a bullet catching feat.
He only needs what... About a thousand more?
