That's the thing about Diana's speed

She's always implied to be a high level speedster and sometimes stated to be, but she has almost zero "speedster" feats.

Reaction feats, sure. But proper speedster stuff? Nah.

She's only a speedster - because she knows how to run better than anyone else or something, lol.

Imagine if a running coach trained Wally.

Val Zod shatters planets and flies to the edge of creation, hears Dr Fate from Earth at the edge of creation and flies back in moments.

Why the heck did he destroy some unfortunate planet? The chance to randomly hit one while travelling in space is unimaginably low, so he must've done that on purpose. What a jerk.

Dead planets.

Mxy is gathering all the Super Imps because of another Dark Storm

So he just wanted to smash a random planet to bits for funsies? Childish and jerkish.

Unless it was the fastest way. Unimaginably low odds =/= zero odds.

Good feats from Val. Marvel fans will rush to downplay and argue that's a feat Aunt May can pull off.

I wonder how much the odds shift when you factor that he keeps flying past suns en route for the power boost.

If he charts a path between earth and the edge of creation that maximizes how many suns he passes through/by, the odds that he hits at least one planet?

Gotta still be really low but I'm just curious if it makes a difference.

Yup, even Jon is more powerful than Black Adam.

See the first panel, Black Adam and Jon are on the screen.

That's not what's said.

"We know the spores are attracted to the most powerful people. I need Superman".

Meanwhile, WW is RIGHT THERE:

Rest of the comic has a cute Bunny Harley, and PEacemaker being silly.

Oh, and Wally casually being faster than the Helm of the Lords of Chaos.

Edit (damn, this comic was great for my pet characters): keep Nightwing's statement about the spores being attracted to more powerful people in mind.

Jon has [b]to power up into his blue form to become more powerful than Batman:

Carver, hello!

Carver, how do you feel the recent statement for Diana's speed?

It's so funny about the implication here. Aside from WW's daughter also isn't bulletproof, WW herself states that she isn't fast as Kal and can't outrun bullets

Not debating against a mod but this can't be directed at Carver9? I don't remember saying Superman doesn't have combat speed. Now I did say Diana is faster and yes, the only being I think is marginally faster than her combat wise are the Flashes.

It's a low showing, and even YOU don't believe Diana is slower than bullets. This is a person that has slapped heat vision that was coming from all directions (Amazo) without trouble and someone who has outright blitzed Amazo who had Flash and Superman powers during the time. Based off showings, Diana is the fastest person in comics when it comes to pure reflexes. No one can match her

And what do you think of Superman being called the most powerful? Even when WW was right there?

Of course it is, you simply can't read.

No need to go too far overboard; we have Nightwing, one of the most experienced heroes in the DCU, naming Superman (and only Superman) when talking about the most powerful heroes.

Street levelers do that sort of shit all the time against energy beams of all kinds, lasers, hand blasts, heat vision attacks... it's nothing new.

And yes, Diana is very fast in combat - unlike Clark, who is a dumbass. But that is not what was being discussed, pretty sure you started it right now.

Great job re-opening that can of worms again 🙁

Superman, Flash and Wonder Woman stand at the edge of a park and make a plan to scour the globe.

Superman flies to East Asia.
Flash runs to Egypt.
Wonder Woman runs... into the park.

Yes, Flash is obviously faster, but it shows she does have running speeds to keep up with attosecond Flash temporarily...

Lmao.

Flash was literally trolling her in that race, And beating her.

Carver, as you don't understand pictures, let me be clear: he was running backwards with a shit-eating grin on his face. And was still beating her.
