As is Barry's krypton time period building feat in an eyeblink.

Worth noting is that Superman sped up and entered that level of speed, too [which is probably his greatest post-Crisis speed feat]
As for the thread:
Zoom (Hunter) [faster]
Professor Zoom
Superman [slower]
And that's about it, really.
Originally posted by CosmicCometLittle known fact, but Golden Age Superman was already light speed by the time Action Comics #5 hit.
IIRC, Golden Age Superman also built an underground city in a single panel from scratch.And as we saw, Pre-Flashpoint and Golden Age Supes were roughly equal.
It's amusing to go around the internet, and see how few people have actually read those comics.

I can't find the scans anymore since the links are down, but looking at the description Golden Age Supes didn't just build an underground city in seconds, he built underground cities all over the world, in seconds.
That shits on Wally's S. Korea feat.

Got the scans? Would be interesting how it compares!Edit:just saw you don't have them.
It would have to be pretty insane, though. I don't think you realise how short 0.00001 microseconds is.
That's equivalent to 10 picoseconds. Which would make 1 second feel like roughly 3,200 years in comparison iirc.
By sheer complexity and size radius of the feat, it should handily beat Wally's far more simple (relatively at least), feat.
I try to imagine; if you had a man with super strength, flight, heat and cold powers on demand, architectural and electrical expertise, but travel and reflex speed no greater than a normal human's, how long would it take him to build one city?
Some cities can have over a million buildings. And with someone with all of the above powers, yet no superspeed --at all--, I imagine even one large building would probably take centuries to make.
So compress all of those hundreds of thousands, maybe even hundreds of millions of years worth of work, down to seconds.
Re: Re: Who could have evacuated that city like flash did at the same speed or faster?

Also, as DS pointed out in another thread, it would have taken like 95 seconds to complete the feat if moving at 99% lightspeed.
Which would make that far too slow, thats nearing 2 minutes. Everyone would have been ash by that time.

In 10 picoseconds, he was travelling all over the city (104 square miles), searching entire buildings, and carrying them one or two at a time 35 miles away, then back again.
A large building wouldn't take centuries to build. Super strength would help a lot.
Super strength doesn't help with the fact that your arms are still human spanned, so you can't hold too much regardless of your strength.
That, and you'd have to collect materials to build as well, which isn't just lying around conveniently.
And then you'd have to wire the buildings, make glass panes, do the actual sculpting and contouring and painting etc, you know, detail work that super strength won't really aid you in getting things done faster.
That is a shit ton of work.
On the other hand, Flash would have found thousands of those 500,000 people simply on the streets at the same time, so he could get a large chunk of his work done before he had to do any hard searching.
Love cosmic. I just want to point out that Superman was under a Blue Sun when he built that city...
It tells us here that the Blue Sun enhance powers. Hell, it even gives new powers.

His vision powers even did this.. gave pa Superman like power.
He probably didn't even build that city using speed, strength etc...he probably used a new power.
He was amped. It's still better than Flash ft though.
