However on the off chance that someone DID suggest such a thing let me just say to them THAT'S FREAKING DUMB! If she's made of light, she's moves at light speed. I mean I suppose if she's moving at lightspeed in general and throws a punch or something that her fist would be moving at lightspeed+the speed of a normal punch by her, but that would be relatively inconsequential. The ONLY way she ever really goes faster than light is by turning into neutrinos which she only does for long distance space travel and as far as I know that form has never demonstrated any kind of offensive capabilities.
@Darksaint I want to argue that thought can be much faster than light in a sense.
If I came from a planet 17 million light years away, and I had the ability to reach any destination by thinking about where I want to be, and then be there in an instant, I would reach the destination well before light. It would be to the point that my grand children's grand children would die of old age before light ever reached my home world. So in that way, thought can be much much faster than light, if we were to look at it in that perspective. I know that it may seem lame, but we had this debate on KMC years ago, and no one seemed to get what I was saying, so I dropped it.

I just see that as teleportation, however,not the speed of thought.Which, yeah, could be faster than lightspeed.
What if I had the ability to instantly mind rape someone in an instant from that distance? This is kind of like the example of a Honda Civic (unmodified) being able to beat a truck with 18 gears to the finish line that is one mile away, but if we were to make this race 30 miles, the truck would catch up and pass the Honda, providing that it was a straightaway race with no turns.
In this case the speed of thought is much faster over longer distances. This is something that I mentioned, but still no one seemed to get it.

Same argument, I guess.
Like teleporting an apple into someone's head, from Mars.
Imagine someone like, say, the Spot. Or Blink, or Nightcrawler.
If they ported their fist into you, or whatever, across the galaxy... It's the speed of transmission which is faster than say, flying or running or whatever.
But no one would say Kurt or Ohm is 'faster' per se, than sound or light.
Imo.

Except for the idea that I had to think before making the action. Remember my first post when I did say in a sense the speed of thought can be faster? Well over longer distances it is, because I can think of a planet 17 million light years away, far faster than light will be able to travel there. If you don't see it that way fine, but I do.
