Good feat actually.
http://s1134.photobucket.com/user/s...02_10a.jpg.htmlNear light speed off of an attempted cheapshot. Glad you brought that up.
While it being a simple low feat would suffice, he was just reflected a beam that was powered by all the Infinity Gems and a sun that was draining Galactus.
He also really made no effort to escape as he blatantly said he was trying to make sure the Elders perished in the black hole.
First off, your first few observations are pointless, and the last one is a stretch of the truth. Surfer had no plans to die with the Elders, he also did not do anything as they were being sucked in regardless. He said he would if he must, but they were going down anyways, just as Surfer was until "MASTER" was screamed several times by Nova and Galactus showed up. This is just the first in a drastic series of comprehension fails.
Before I address this, here's In-Betweener flying really fast out of a black hole:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_017_08b.jpgNow, again, he used hyperspace to travel from Earth to a random place in space where a giant ass black hole was in seconds. He uses hyperspace. Never went against that. And the near light was a threat that he would drag an Elder to his death while traveling at those speeds.
However, he did not fail to escape a black hole. In fact he says he needs all his speed to break through the other side:

And it was reinforced repeatedly that Surfer was the only one who could get outside the black hole:

And I already know what you're going to say, but you know why Surfer needed Chaos and Order's power to get on the other side of the black hole? Because In-Betweener sealed off travel through it to everyone present but himself:

So yeah, good lowballing attempt there.
As you've conceeded the use of hyperspace throughout this story, I'll concede to forgetting that In-betweener sealed the realm and that's why he needed help out of a black hole yet again.
There is one that I want to point out specifically though that is not here, and I point it out because it wasn't stated anywhere but is pretty much irrefutable, and also breaks down several pieces of your arguments
Reed and Surfer just flying on his board.

And when it switches perspectives, you see the telltale signs of FTL/Hyperspace travel.

So they're seen just cruising at one angle. In the other angle it's that artists array of colors that details hyperspace/ftl sometimes, then back to the other angle of just cruising.
But I'll bring it all full circle later.
Let's see how long 4 cycles takes:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_031_07b.jpg
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_031_08b.jpg
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_031_09a.jpg3 pages of dialogue. What is that, like 2 minutes? 4 cycles of 30 seconds?
But to explain. Surfer starts hyperspace. It says meanwhile. Then we get the scans I posted. Then it flips back to Surfer finding Strange. What I posted was how long four cycles was.
4 cycles.
Being amused at how long it took to travel from point a to point b in hyperspace does nothing to diminish the fact it was both used as I said, and also that when Surfer thought Zenn-La faced imminent destruction, at one of his most desperate moments ever, he used a wormhole to traverse light years in seconds. Why go to all that bother if he could do it himself without hyperspace?
You didn't disprove anything here, you just thought it was funny I guess?
"the story"
No, it wasn't the story, it was some people who knew basically nothing about Surfer trying to pin their hopes on him. Here's from the exact same issue:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_111_09a.jpgSo unless it took billions of years for him to do that...
But wait, there's more. In a later issue, Surfer did actually accomplish visiting everything in 616:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_142_05a.jpg
We're actually given a timeframe oh how long it took to visit every corner and every star in the universe too.
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_142_15a.jpg
Centuries. Not billions of billions of years. I could post some more flight from that arc too where Surfer is just zipping through the macroverse observing everything at unbelievable speeds, but you'd just write that off as hyperspace.
So no, let's not listen to someone who knows next to nothing about Surfer's power on his speed. Funny thing is, you can't even use the hyperspace excuse since it blatantly said coordinates were useless, and them not factoring in hyperspace would show an ignorance on their part of his power that's law in the Marvel universe.
When you argue yourself into a corner, no?
Do you just not understand what was going on or something? You make this mistake right below too. Surfer wasn't traversing hyperspace or across the universe. Surfer was trying to enter the cosmic swell to travel to another universe.
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums..._v3_114_06a.jpg
No, you may or not be able to use wormholes, but hyperspace travel can be used without coordinates or direction, as it's simply faster than light travel. Wormholes are optional, but frequent. I've addressed this before and I'll address it more in these posts.
As for the Macroverse. Are you sure you read that story? Surfer flew around in the space of the Macroverse for a couple panels, merged with the consciousness of a planet, then sat on a beach, then decided it was time to go home, found Sama D again, and mentioned that Sama D has been exploring the Macroverse for centuries and that he should come with him back to the regular universe. That measure of time had nothing to do with Surfer.
Comprehension fail again.
As for his casual mention of having visited every part of his own universe previously, we know this is only hyperbole, as pretty much every arc in the entire volume involves him visiting places he's never been before and encountering beings and races he's never met before.
So you could claim it, I guess, but the previous hundred 140 issues in this volume alone don't support it.
