I would argue New 52 Supes is still the most powerful version of Superman, by far. Supes has been in similar situations as N52, and hasn't done nearly as good.

BTW, did anyone post this before?

Superman does well.

Superman does good.

I just read the issue and the previous one.

In the previous issue he announces to Earth that he will be approaching at "a significant portion of the speed of light on a collision course"

In this issue Captain Marvel remarks on the kinetic energy he'll build up by doing so, with that kind of runway. Later there's some comic book science about time dilation saying that the time will pass by momentarily for him. Which answers my question about the convoluted plot, in a way.

So it's pretty clear that Hype chose his speed specifically because it would turn him into a planet-destroying bullet. The whole thing seems like a pretty clear reference to Superman and the shadow moon /shrug

I'm not a Hyperion fan so it doesn't matter to me if this was supposed to portray his cap speed, but that's not what I got from the issue.

Given that Hype was pissed af and his sole purpose was wrecking the earth, I think if he could have flown faster, he would have flown faster... And even if, for some reason, he had to be flying at sub-light speed to wreck the earth(why wouldn't FTL speed do the same job?) then he could have still flown from Pluto to...I dunno...Mars at FTL speed, slowed down to sub-light, and then continued towards earth from there.

Imo, nothing in the issues painted a picture to me that Hype was capable of reaching(never mind exceeding) light speed -- just "approaching" that level. The Superman instance is much different in that regard. /shrug

And it still nearly overwhelmed Marvel Earth.

It just felt like different magnitudes,to me

If only Avengers had anyone as strong as Supergirl lol

Or even one of lower end feat of Superman where he, Supergirl, Superboy and Steel completely stopped a lightspeed ship from destroying the planet.

Whatever tf that means.

Anyways your position doesn't seem unreasonable to me, my take is just more like.... Hype announced he was going to ram Earth at a "significant portion of the speed of light" and that's all we really know. Maybe that means he couldn't fly faster, or maybe he just wanted to make Earth fret and fear for five hours.

And ya, agreed with Dark, facepalm that it was supposed to be an overwhelming threat for Marvel earth. The "heroes gathering to deliberate on how to stop it" feels like kind of a lazy retread of the same scene with the planet bullet in Astonishing X:Men. Which I guess means Kitty Pryde > the avengers.

^ Co-signed on all parts. 👆

The comic dissected one too many pieces talking about actual RL relativistic lightspeed effects and Hyperion himself.

Anyway, kinda f@cked up that the Avengers laid their vibranium shrapnel trap some time after 2 hours to impact. Meaning, they didn't bother really bother waiting until the last minute to resort to killing him.

And from what we've seen of this actual Hyperion variant during his storyline outside of this particular comic, disagree even more.

Disagree. Danvers mentioned that if he was like any other Hyperion, he was perfectly capable of approaching lightspeed. So even the Avengers were assuming this Hyperion variant was certainly capable of more.

And from what we've seen of this actual Hyperion variant during his storyline outside of this particular comic, disagree even more.

However, if this particular version of Hyperion does have light speed(+) feats from other storylines, that obviously changes things... I haven't read any of that material, so I don't know either way.

Supergirl and threeboot Legion handled a giant size bullet travelling at near light speed just fine lol.

well

avengers don't

didn't supergirl just performed solar system level feat a couple years back?

I reckon she can solo most avengers line-up by herself

dc fans have finally return back to comicvine

at least some

Have you read the recent chapter? It looks like Fumihiko Takaba ressurrected Geto.

Huntress vs Super son, Superman child. Yes, he's at full power.

That's not even Huntress's best feat against super bricks, either. Best one was in Earth 2 series

You can clearly see she draws blood from him. Beastly feat again from the Bat family.

Lmao Voltron Raven phucks Trigon up - note the use of Cyborg's cannon, Carver!!!

Green Arrow calls Green Arrow the best fighter in the world. And the Amazos are just as powerful as their counterparts:

With and without the Stones, against an Allfather. Also, Carol, whilst powerless, takes a hit from Thanos (so....Huntress level??):
