Nope. Just find how far light goes in a picosecond
That's comparable to a strand of hair, for perspective.
In short, for Kyle's blast to have traveled any visible distance at all, it would have to be many times faster than light.
So CosmicComet is right.

Yeah but he threw the guys in the blast long before it hit WW
Not really, those guys are a lot closer to Diana than they are to Kyle.
For example, compare the size of the outline of the guy closest to diana (guy in blue jeans), you can see they are pretty close in size.
When Flash is about to start the search, he is only a couple of feet in front of Kyle and just ahead of the blast. By the time the picosecond ends, the blast hit those two guys that are maybe 5 meters away from Kyle.

"0.3mm" seems off to me
I don't care about your feelings, psycho.

Is Lanterns blasts light speed.
I did the sums for the speed to search 500,000 people (what us with Flash and half a mill??).
It's comfortably FTL.
Strangely, inly those with a stroNg Marvel bias seem to be arguing against....well, numbers, lol.

You mean the numbers you DC **** boy's dreamed up based on math that wasn't in the comic?

TBH, I actually disagree about writer intent. IMO, he just really ****ed up the math when he wanted Wally to be sub c.The problem becomes, what then? Narration being narration, we still get told that Wally evacuated x number of people in y amount of time. That's something that's undeniable. I usually like narration and hold it in high regard, but I don't see how it can be held in higher regard than a quantifiable feat on the page itself.
Yeah - the writer obviously wanted Flash to rescue them from the nuke blast.
Hence, my interpretation, which, crucially, does NOT ignore any of the statements.
Of course, some want to ignore the first, and say he was just under c.
Others want to ignore the second, and say he was over c.
Mine takes both into account.

I'm asking for evidence of light speed for Lantern blasts.
The problem is that to accomplish the feat, he would have had to go faster than light. And he does accomplish the feat.

Cheeky.

Well, beats inserting 'billions of light years in the blink of an eye' into the equation, when that never happens....
So again, I asked civilly, without insulting you...
What is SURFER'S best speed feat?
