Superman has actually used speed to boost up the power of his punches before.

3. Which version of warrior madness? Theorotical or which was actually shown twice in the comics twice?
Theoretical would seem best.
BLOOD AND THUNDER had Odin stating that Thor wasn't truly experiencing full warrior madness. That however is the closest to the actual thing we've ever seen. IIRC he entered Warrior Madness against the Hulk in an annual but the 2 were seperated by a nuclear blast before Thor got to cut loose.
Originally posted by Golgo13Wonder Woman had just fought Artemis before she even engaged the First Born. Y'know... the goddess that utterly stomped her in their first fight and required the release of her bracers the second time around. And Orion came in towards the end of the First Born fight.
Orion has shown to be a lot more durable in the new 52. In their last fight with First Born, Orion didn't need medical treatment, while WW was out 3 friggen days. This and his fight with Superman cements this. 👆
But I agree that a completely fresh Orion is more durable than an exhausted and wounded Diana. 👆

There was a discussion of faster punches not being effective so I threw in Flash IMP since if their logic is to follow faster punches are less effective then the Flash must be a useless puncher.
I think the argument was against blitz/combo/chain style multiple punches being depicted as not as effective as a single punch (whether that single punch was at superspeed or not) in the realm of comics.

Right which is why I brought up Flash who has used speed in punches to be effective. Blitz/combo/chain punches being depicted as not as effective is just a logical fallacy.

It doesn't make sense, but comics tend to show that if a character blitzes another with some x hit combo and then later in the fight hits them with a single blow, odds are, that single blow is portrayed as more effective.

Sure, but a character with super speed is going to be able to use far more power punches in a short time than one who doesn't.
