He's trapped in Superman's Xray vision. Superman then tells him that an electric current can not pass through xrays unless it travels at the speed of light. What does Swamp do, he up his speed to the speed of light which makes him pass through Superman xray vision which also gives him enough time to blind Superman. It's all right there on panel.

...and he's looking right at it.

Sigh...we don't know if HE see the attack. I'm pretty sure it was drawn like that for us to see it. Doesn't matter since he was unable to react to it anyways like H1 said he did. This is reacting to speed (look how close the blade is to his eye)...
That didn't happen during that scene.

Where was it said he saw the waves? He was hit mid sentence and nothing was mentioned of him seeing any waves. We saw the attack but no evidence points towards Superman seeing or reacting to said attack.Also, where are you getting he was surprised ST could travel at the speed of light?
The last panel clearly shows the waves frozen. He was just surprised Swampy could move at lightspeed.
But if he wasn't able to react, how was he able to see Swampy breaking through the field at lightspeed?

He's shown reacting to seeing it.
Video isn't watchable for me.

Where did he say he saw Swamp? What in his statement make you think that?
Originally posted by carver9He's actually surprised. Do you see his eyes? They are larger than normal. He knows he's in trouble as he sees Swampthing is coming out. If his perception was slower than lightspeed then Superman would have still had that confident normal nonchalant look in his eye just like he did on the panel before.
When? What part of that scene makes you believe he reacted to it?
Here's the math. Let's say the average length of the exposed surprised eyeball of a man of Superman's size is 3/4in or 0.75in (it's actually less than this). This is equivalent to 0.01905m. I measured a friend's eye in the surprised mode who has larger than normal eyes.
Light moves at approximately the speed 3 x 10^8 m/s.
Let's assume that Superman first realized that Swampthing was moving the speed of light after he already moved 8 times this distance of his eyeball length (I took a ruler and measured his eyeball against the length of the blue outside the yellow field).
So Superman perceived something moving at the speed of light after 0.1524 m of distance. Now perception time is distance/speed.
So Clark's perception/reaction time is 0.1524/3x10^8 = 5.08 x 10^-10 s.
This is about half of a nanosecond or 508 picoseconds.
Now we know that Superman perceived Swampthing closer than the full 8 times distance since it took time to open his eyes to the larger surprised distance. So his real perception time was much lower. Also the eyeball length of the average surprised male is less than 0.75in. Using a lower number will make the perception time even smaller.

You're trying too hard. It isn't a speed ft.
Originally posted by carver9It's a perception feat. It shows how fast he can perceive an attack. We all know how fast Superman can move. He has traveled to other galaxies in minutes, outraced light beams to their target, traveled miles before a bullet strikes a target, travels halfway around the world in a fraction of a second, etc.

Here is the scene H1 posted.ALL OF IT. As shown, when Swamp Thing decided to attack at the speed of light, we get the results shown above. Please read the scan carefully.
Where in this scan did Superman tell us he saw him moving out of the ray? If anything, Superman is still telling him he CAN'T escape his xray vision.
