Per Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, it's impossible for a mass to reach the speed of light.

So really, the concept of a solid mass moving faster than the speed of light could be perceived as more ridiculous than energy doing it.

The speed force shits on Einstein.

Or Lightmaster?

Ray can control more energy types than photons, though.

Photon? You mean the black chick who went by "Captain Marvel" for a while? I wasn't aware she ever went FTL. All I remember from her appearances I have were her saying AT lightspeed, not faster. And I think I know who Lightmaster is, but am unfamiliar with him, so I'll have to take your word for it.

Yeah, but it happens in comics, so we just accept it. On the other hand, something like light being faster than light goes too far for the suspension of disbelief, unless there's context people haven't mentioned yet?

solid mass cannot accelerate to light speed, photons on the other hand is always at light speed, never slower. This means photons at rest are Light speed so photons in movement(photons accelerating) are FTL.

Originally posted by Delta1938 Actually, I recall something along the lines of the Shazam bolt being faster than lightning if it needs to. Billy was turning into Cap, Flash didn't know what was really going on, and thinks he's saving a kid from being struck by lightning. The bolt changes direction, follows Flash, catches up to him and still hits Billy. But I could be misremembering. Also, how is Ray FTL if he turns into energy?

oh i didnt know that.

Yeah,it's one of those feats that got tossed around for years on a half truth.

Here's the entire thing:

does anyone think it will work on ray?

Has Ray been hit by mystical energy before?

Comics say different.

What in those scans implies that Shazam-bolts move faster than 'regular' lightning?
