It probably does but that doesnt change what I said though. This also applies to Gladiator as well. His combat speed isnt that great.

How fast can he run?

Surfer has moved his arms within a nano second and his combat speed still isnt great. Do you know what combat speed is?

i'll shut up once you've shown me Surfer ever running across America at the speed that Superman has.

Gladiator and Superman can run far faster than the Surfer. This means that their limbs move faster than his does. Your argument doesn't make much sense. Think about it. Superman would out punch Surfer like no ones business. I'll repeat it again, his running speed says everything that's needed in this case.

well for one this is just travel speed, and certainly not applicable to combat speed but still impressive

Spider-Man is physically faster than Surfer, let alone Superman.

in travel speed? No. Surfer far outclasses Superman in that department

They both have some pretty stupid travel speed. SS had insane speed when trying to take the Gauntlet from Thanos. It was even more impressive because the writer put emphasis on both the sheer speed and distance. Same can be said for Superman's Vega to earth distance.

In terms of averages, whether it's combat or travel Superman is much better. Partially due to the fact that Superman's power set is mostly Heat vision, Super Strength,speed, and invulnerability. It's more likely he will use his speed than someone who has other capabilities. Furthermore, Superman's environment in comics enables him to use combat like superspeed, like reading books or doing chores.

Superman has zero travel speed feats coming anywhere close to Surfers

That has never been proven, because it cannot be proven.

Lol for every Superman feat u can post I can post a better one for surfer

And this is just recently, Superman nearly instantaneously catches up to the flashes, who high father confused with a disruption in the source wall and were tearing up the fabric of the multiverse.

And a classic:

From Vega to Earth in a few moments

Remember you said they have to be FAR greater, not just better

wtf the first one isn't even quantifiable.

Surfer outran the multiverse already

and when I mean speed feats, they have to be QUANTIFIABLE where you can calc how fast it is SMH

Dodging and running from your own claims already, eh?

What?

He outran the destruction of the multiverse not too along ago, you'd know this if you read surfer comics. so no superman has no comparable feat

When Surfer travels back in time, he does do by accessing a dimension where all timelines merge.

Carvebaziemark leaving context as usual.

I didn't post that feat DID I though?

and Surfer has a sextillion speed feat

It doesn't really matter. Even if he ran fast to reach time travel speed, Superman has already done it. It really doesn't matter.

Post it then.

Sure, let's take a a speed feat the Silver Surfer did, where he crossed 500,000 light years in the time it took him to finish his conversation with Legacy

1-The narrator states that Surfer is "half a million" lightyears away (500,000) from the standoff (where Tyrant is battling Galactus) when he starts to take off towards them...

Thats the distance

2. As for the time frame, no specific one was given. All we know is Surfer crossed that distance in the time it took him to finish his conversation with Legacy. Which, upon reading their dialogue and timing it, comes out to about 30 seconds

---> Therefore, Silver Surfer traveled 500,000 lightyears in half a minute

For the calculator that I use from this site (http://www.1728.org/velocity.htm) I have to 1st convert 500,000 lightyears to miles

- 500,000 lightyears = 2.939e18 (quintillion) miles

https://www.unitjuggler.com/convert-length-from-ly-to...

Now take the Distance (2.939e18 miles) and the Time (30 seconds) and input into this site...

http://www.1728.org/velocity.htm

And it shows that the speed required to cross 500,000 lightyears in 30 seconds would be 9.7980e16 miles per second (97.9 quadrillion mps)

However, that is just the bare minimum he can achieve. Over 525 billion x LS is a low estimate because the scans reveal further context in regards to his speed

I won't get into that, because late. maybe tomorrow, but that was a massive lowball and he went at that speed
