There is no scan that says "he is fighting at lightspeed". It doesn't mean he can't, since he can move at such speeds, we extrapolate what he can do based on other feats.
If you have a problem with that, DCnU Superman is now incapable of throwing a car into space. After all, I have no scans of him doing it.

Yeah, but basic knowledge means he won't not use his speed..and he isn't always not using speed because he isn't sure if he needs to pull his punches. He's used it enough times to say he'd use it if going to full capacity. Saying he won't is essentially handicapping him merely to give the other team a shot. What then is the point? Okay, so Blackbolt can totally beat a Superman fighting like a moron.
Or hell, let's be generous and say the guy only throws 100 punches before Blackbolt reacts. The guy still isn't durable enough to tank 100 punches from a guy who bench press the planet.
But anyways, what is the point in putting Superman in any fights here if people are going to constantly try to lowball or handicap him? It's weird to me that Superman fights have him being lowballed, while his opponents are being grossly overestimated(Black bolt here, Loki in the other thread..and I'm sure I could find more if I bothered to look).
Is this a thing people have against Superman or is it just characters with high end super speed in general?
