And the patronising "this is why you do x" statements don't help anyone.
There is nothing special about comics that allows it to ignore logic that can apply to any hypothetical fictional discussion.
They are all subject to the same kinda tropes and character dilemmas and procedure where you argue viable feats and try to eliminate bullshit stuff that doesn't work.
I get all that you are saying. But again, its pointless to what I'm saying.
As I said, this in-character speed argument angle is never able to give an answer to a completely basic question.
Again, answer this to me honestly, if Superman DOES decide that he does want to use his speed as well as he could (and this is a very realistic possibility, seeing as CIS-Less Superman does not really get represented in comics), how could Hulk possibly win?
Seriously, if you could just admit that there is an avenue for Superman to win 10/10 if he simply did something as basic as not be retarded, then this argument could end, and you can go back to the in-character arguments (even though its not relevant to this thread anyway) without me ever bothering you about it again.
