Works for me.
1st, Superman is astronomically faster than that.
Proof? But, let's lead on to your next point...
Second. I was referring to combat speed, not flight speed. Speed of limbs, travel speed, speed of changing directions, and reflexes are all key.
Please post hard numbers of Superman's reflex speed, please.
Third, I can fly at billions of m/s from many miles away and still not have light speed reactions nor the ability to change directions on a dime.
Then post hard scans of Superman's reflex speed, with numbers.
Fourth, BA traveled from miles away. Thus he had to accelerate to that speed over the distance. That's not practical to battle speed from battle distance.
You can see in the scan, they say he is 500...then 300...then 100 miles away. Let's say that's a second in between. Obviously, he is NOT travelling at ~300 trillion mph, which is what he was at when he hit the field (and in this thread, he would be at 600 trillion mph). Ergo, he accelerated to that speed over a MUCH shorter distance (and here, he has 2x the acceleration). Why would it matter, anyway? There are no limits on the battlefield here.
Fifth, BA has magic lightning in his punches right? Maybe that contributes to the damage.
What if hats were ants? Which is to say, nothing was given in there, so you are just reaching.
1. Superman freezing Bizarro for minutes and WW for moments is for starters.
So, proof they were at full speed reflex wise? A wise poster often points out to others on this forum that for the sake of plot, characters often job in their speed. Notably, when said poster is arguing against Thanus. So, proof that bizarro/WW weren't jobbing?
2. Those are not the type of lightning attacks I was referring to. Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm talking about a ranged attack of lightning. Not him grabbing opponents just to give them some lightning. I don't see him grabbing Superman at all in this fight. Even if he does then Superman gets out of it instantly.
Considering he called the lightning down before MM could react, I'd say he's got a good chance. But of course, MM was jobbing his speed there, right? Unlike Bizarro and WW, who obv weren't.
3. But I don't really have to show instances in order to prove it. Just like a character doesn't automatically have tp resistance if they have no feats of showing it. But I was thinking more of Thor and Loki as my examples. I believe Thor attempted to hit Loki once with a physical attack but Loki was intangible at the time. Note: I didn't say a magical being could use a magical spell or magical power to try to hit an intangible being. I said, they can't do it with a physical punch. Thor can't swing his fists and hit someone intangible without proof.
So. none.
4. LOL. 4 things. Characters power level fluctuate in comics depending on the plot. It's faulty to use a character's power level in one issue and equate it to another the same power level in a different issue. I can show Gladiator busting a planet in one comic and failing to one shot Colossus or Thing in another. Does that mean Colossus and Thing can withstand planet busting punches?
PG was specifically stated to have been angrier than she had ever been before. Jay had never seen her output that much power. So she was obv going all out.
The second issue is that Superman's hv is far more powerful than PG's hv by feats. Superman doesn't kill so he both consciously and subconsciously holds back when fighting weaker beings. When Superman is applying his hv to non living things he does stuff like welding the fabric of the universe. And when he stops holding back he one shots Trans level beings with his hv. His hv was stated to be hotter than the core of a star.
Mental blocks, which strangely, even thought the OP did not mention it, have been taken off for this fight. How mysterious.
Third, There was no indication in the scan that PG was holding back against Superman. It's not like he's a human. He's more powerful than her. So why hit someone more powerful with less than all your might, knowing that even hitting them with all your might will not amount to much? Writer's intent there was she blasted with full strength.
Did the surroundings burn up, as with BA?
Fourth, She was actually burning BA. She didn't damage Superman in any way. All she did was concuss Superman.
A useless point. That BA was at 25%. Here, he is at 200%.

I am indeed.
And also, Superman's example of holding back to have lessers be a threat is written under "PIS" and not "CIS." on the forum rules page.
Against Toyman. Let me refresh your memory on what CIS actually means:
Character Induced Stupidity, or CIS, on the other hand, refers to any natural mental limitations that characters impose upon themselves and reduce their ability to use their own skills and powers effectively.
That sounds like Superman to a T.
Because the only catalyst is him deciding to do so.
Agreed.
