Best travelling speed feats

Dude, how am I nitpicking? I just feel like I need more context explaining the scene as a lot of it is kinda vague.

I mean, Superman wasn't even using his own power, most ppl would think he was obviously flung by the overload effect as we can't explain what possible reason he would have to fly that far away from Earth (while KOd at that)? So I find it hard to actually accept this as an actual travelling "feat".

Tried looking for it, and the only thing I found on it was:

http://www.comixology.com/Action-Comics-1938-2011-589/digital-comic/DIG004769

Arisia finds Superman 400,000 light years from Earth--just in time to team up with the Green Lantern Corps to stop a mighty foe!

"Superman & The Green Lantern Corps"

That is why I would like more pages on 1) why we was tossed/flung in the first place when he wasn't supposed to be affected by the overload effect? 2) how far he was really tossed as comicvine and comixology synopsis of the issue seems to say 400k light years.

I'm willing to accept your interpretation as long as more pages are provided that explains it, but as of now, too much context has been left out for me to even consider this as anything but "Superman was tossed away by the overload effect" w/c isn't really a travel "feat" as that's what it looks like.

Friend had a copy of the issue, he took some pics:

"Deep space. Four hundred thousand light years from the planet earth."

"So, I was caught in the space warp, too"

Kinda throws a little bit of doubt at the "feat" itself....

Plus you got the distances wrong. It's 400k light years like the synopsis says.

What your friend failed to mention that it was a second jump by overlord drive which brought superman there.

Arisia feels overlord drive

Katma Tui explained it as overlord drive being used again.

So superman jumped a billion lightyears and then 400k lightyears from earth. Its an even bigger feat than I thought. Also superman was caught in no space warp as no warp was opened there.

Before I provide my reply, please provide title and issue number of the above scans and how it relates to the "feat"? Cuz neither scans really say anything proving your point from my perspective..

So basically, he was "blasted away".

The only feat here is Superman surviving being flung light years away.

He didn't travel the distance at his own speed. At all.

Superman certainly flew to that destination.

I went ahead and just bought the damned digital comic myself (Action comics # 589)

DUDE, seriously, STOP.

As mentioned in the bottom narrative box of the last page of Action comics 588:

The events that happen below (Action comics 589) happened immediately after Superman got tossed in Action comics 588.

This is page 1, Action comics# 589

Page 2

There was never a page that mentioned even once that Superman jumped or flew ANYWHERE or even regained consciousness prior to the pages above. Unless you can provide an exact scan where he did, then it's a fact that he got tossed by the overlord drive maneuver, got KOd and Arisia found him right after and picked him up.

She felt the overlord drive because, well, it tossed Superman and deposited him near her. Kinda common sense.

Where was it ever mentioned that the overlord drive was used again? It's plainly written and explained that it was that ONE overlord drive use that flung Superman, hell, from the text:

"I think I can guess the effect Arisia monitored just before she spotted Superman sounds a lot like what would happen if a number of overlapping starship hyperdrives were fired simultaneously."

As what happened here in issue 588:

And with what Superman said:

"Just before I lost consciousness, the hawks signaled me to get back to their ship."

He was unconscious the WHOLE time til they woke him up in pages 4-5 in that same issue (Action Comics issue 589)

So, unless you have some secret issue that happened in between 588 and 589 where Superman woke up a billion light years away, used the overlord drive maneuver again w/o the help of Hawkman/Hawkgirl, knocked himself out and appeared in front of Arisia and unless you can provide the scans, title and issue number of said comic then NONE of what you said happened the way it did.

Maybe its cos im new here but Abhi seems to be getting more unreasonable as time goes on

I think he has a serious problem guys

I've read those pages and there's no mention of Superman being flung away because of his own speed.

None at all.

Superman didn't travel the light years under his own speed. He was even knocked out.

The scans actually make that quite clear.

@Abhi: Where is it mentioned in any of the scans either you or Nib have provided, that Superman flew a "billion lightyears"?

Heck, just show me the panel where the term "billion lightyears" is even mentioned.

Wow.. There's been a rash of myth busting around these forums..

Lmao. Very rarely do you see one individual so blatantly simultaneously misrepresent multiple feats across multiple threads. Incredible. Looking at the scans posted, how this feat can even possibly be interpreted as superman having flown billions of light years is mind numbing...

Sooner or later people are just going to ignore Abhil. Let's just assume that anything he posts is misconstrued.

Based upon the fact that they traveled to sector 2813 from near sector 0. We can measure up the distance as by the estimation that the visible universe was divided in 3600 sectors. I doubt Johns was using that map when he was writing that scene. Only vega star system isn't charted and that's nothing compared to the rest of the universe.

Why are you assuming they flew linearly from all the sectors? That's like trying to get across a track field and instead of walking straight through, doing a lap around. It makes no sense.

And based on what evidence was the wall near Oa?

Been doing that for awhile now. His ability to misconstrue things is legendary.

Its because you phuckers are using the wrong material. Fillers, and fanfics.
The real feats can be found here. uhuh

And your welcome puckers. uhuh

I always thought the fasted speed feat was silver surfer going warp speed

In fiction though not just comics I'd have to go with super sonic tbh
But comics, I'd say surfer

Ok here is one for the books. Genis-Vell travels 30 light years in a span of a few panels.

30 light years traveled between Dawn, and Day Break. Roughly 3 hours. Making it roughly 87,600c.

Pre-Crisis Abhi should come back.
