He teleports to it's vicinity and actually lands at or around it's path of trajectory. The ship passes him by moving several times the speed of light. He has no problem perceiving it as it wizzes by him and even reacts fast enough so as to not lose it completely, which ultimately allows him to catch up to it. Can a normal human do what he just did? If his perception and reaction times are such that he can never react to something moving at this insane level of speed, how did he ever see it go by him and move fast enough to track and catch up to it?

After that point, all that is required is flight speed in order to catch it up, and it has nothing to do with reaction speed.

Cap could most certainly replicate Thor's feat, in terms of reaction speed. All it takes is a precise teleportation device and superluminal flight speed.

Compare this to Superman reacting to Barry Allen/Wally West [humans, not a big ass ship] coming from behind at FTL/max speed, recognizing Barry as he passes by him, before Barry reaches Darkseid who is about 5m away from Superman:

That's a reaction feat.

I repeat:

OPEN BATTLEZONE INVITATION for anyone willing to defend thor: I say that thor is not above street level combat speed (cap/spiderman etc). You say he's, what, lightspeed? Let's go.

They're not coming from behind at FTL if, while coming from behind, they say they need to reach superluminal speeds...?

They must be damn close though - they needed to hit FTL speedby the time they reached DS.

As Phildo said, Supes was ~5m from DS - so they must've been pretty close, if not already there (2 panels later).

Even the most hardcore Thor fans would think twice before accepting Phil's challenge.

He has low meta speed at best.

I didn't upload the scan and don't have access to my computer to get it, but there's a scene before where the Flash Family talk along the lines of, "--have to go faster than we ever have before" to enter into Darkseid's singularity(I think that's what they called it).

They got to Darkseid after Superman noticed them.

Superman took notice during a conversation about going superluminal.

Afterwards, they did so.

Comic seems clear.

I thought he took notice of them AFTER the superluminal convo?

He did. Two panels after superluminal is brought up. I guess he's arguing they didn't go that until after they passed Superman, regardless of the conversation taking place before.

They talk about going superluminal two panels before Superman takes notice of them.
Then they start accelerating.
Then Barry tells Wally to save himself, but Wally accelerates and they go in together.
Then they pass Superman [who is, for all intens and purposes, right next to Darkseid], who notices Barry.

I mean, then scan is right up there. Are you reading it manga style or what?

For other threads, I'd also like to note that Darkseid infected humans notice Barry/Wally [who were roughly around lightspeed at that point], and shoot the omega beams towards them [that are also displayed as roughly that speed]

in other words...
a). Darkseid [even humans infected by him] has lightspeed reaction times.
b). The Omega beams are lightspeed [remember Superman outflying them in zig zag in Apocalypse Now?]

That's for those saying Darkseid isn't that fast. 🙂

Looks like he heard them. Hell, he questioned who it was he heard. Barry Allen?????????? Obvious he didn't see them. He most definitely did HEAR them though.

Lol. How do you get the conclusion he heard them, rather than saw them?

Apparently, going at the speed of sound = outracing Death, according to carver.

Jesus Christ carver, go back to ripping metal.

Barry Allen?????????

I guess it's a coincidence that he says "Barry Allen?" just as they're passing by him, and he's looking straight in their direction of running.

The lengths this forum will go to discredit anything Superman, holy shit.

His ears are pointing in their direction, it all makes sense!!

Because he's Carter, that's why.
