That is a big big difference between fighting Adam and fighting Thor. Blackbolt won't see Adam coming, at all. Nor will he be able to land a hit if BA uses his speed.
😂
Black Bolt deals with speed just fine. Read more comics. Posts like this are utter gibberish and disproven by comics.

You made a statement.
I found it funny.
I 😆ed at it.
Thats all the statement deserved, not me running around the internet looking for scans.
You have a skewed notion of equality.
Wow, are you unfamiliar with the character Gladiator all together? Let me know if I can help.

What? I'm telling you that Black Bolt has consistently delt with speed fine. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, depictions trump all.
Not every person who has super speed has the same level of speed. So now I have to ask you how fast you feel Blackbolt is. Bullet timer? Way above?

Wow, Glads is a bullet timer, is he using his full speed in that fight?
I mean, you bring up Captain Boomerang in a Flash thread - does that not apply both ways as well?
Unless, of course, you are saying Glads = Black Bolt in speed, and Cap B = Flash in speed. In which case, I apologise.

WTF does the scan have to do with speed? Stop wasting posts.
You are supposedly a veteran, yet you turn to bush league tactics quickly. Almost all characters including Hulk and Superman were depicted as weaker several decades ago. I am referencing modern clashes with Gladiator and you are showing me a fight with the thing from about 4 decades ago. Desperate.

? Doomsday isn't a super speedster, is my point.
Your argument hinges on the assumption that if Black Bolt fought Gladiator on an even level, it means he can react to super speed. But speedy heralds get tagged by non speedsters all the time. It's usually PIS.
Golden Guardian: Roy Harper,a street leveler, was outright outmanuvering Superman as if he was spidey, and Superman was Hulk. By your logic, Guardian should.be able to deal with super speed, by that showing.

Waaah. Depictions trump all, but if I don't like it, then I will ignore it waaaah. It's too old - but there's been no depictions more recent than that one, so I will ignore it waah.
Damn, and you could've used that post to have replied to mine addressing speed....oh well.

Deathstroke/Captain Boomerang have tagged the Flash.
Ergo, Deathstroke will react to Gladiator. Etc etc.

It has nothing to do with my logic. There is someone here claiming that BAs SPEED would be so overwhelming that BB wouldn't have a chance to compete. That has NOT happened in comics thus far.
Probably, for the last 20 years there's been discussion of how speed kills in comic book vs threads. C'mon guys, let's be better than using childish defense mechanisms to make our point. Speed doesn't give an automatic victory as we have all seen in the comics. Neither should it be totally ignored. Can't we admit Black Bolt would have a very tough time against speed-blitzing (which Adam does use), but that doesn't mean he'd have his heart ripped out in a second? Let's be fair enough to give Black Bolt enough credit to at least fight back?
Black Bolt has fantastic modern showings and so has Black Adam. Both probably have a trump-card attack that the other cannot fully defend. Both have done well enough against the power-house characters in their respective universe. This shouldn't be a stomp either way.
DCnu Black Adam helped move the moon w/ Sinestro. Getting hit by that kind of power is nothing to sneeze at, but Black Bolt has withstood Gladiator (who also blitzes). Bolts whisper is devastating, but Post-Crisis Black Adam received a football sized tesseract in his brain and survived.
One of these characters should be given an edge. There's no clear-cut superiority here.
