Whether Sentry started from rest, sub sonic, or slightly supersonic, and went to 20x light speed in a few seconds would all have similar answers. So that doesn't matter at what speed he started at on Thor. I would just have to verify that Rogue fell (from rest) a particular distance in the time it took Sentry to fly Thor light years after grabbing him.Although this is irrelevant, me and others here (you can read their posts) interpreted the scene as Sentry began super sonic and continue to speed up as he approached Thor (not slow down only to speed up again to FTL why?). Unless you are arguing that Sentry slowed down to match his reflexes? Writer didn't think about drawing a sonic boom for the same reason why writer's forget (or fail to) draw sonic booms when other characters bull rush at super sonic speeds. This isn't Sentry's first bull rush at supersonic speeds without being drawn a sonic boom. There was no sonic boom when he even caught the bullet. I digress.
So basically give me the issue number or kindly walk me through where you believe Rogue fell a particular distance in the time DS Sentry accelerated Thor.
And I completely agree with you on some writers not considering drag when characters travel at high speeds. This is the main reason why you don't see any sonic booms at times. But if he see one then I guess drag is present.
The reason why I don't consider hitting hard in itself implies equally fast punch is that it would not only ho against writers intent at times but create vast contradictions (like Juggs is a grade A speedster).
Unless he forgot about drag.
You are arguing in circles here.
Step1 - Yes, the author remembered drag
Step2 - Yes, the author remembered going faster than sound creates sonic booms
Step3 - The author suddenly forgot that going faster than sound creates booms, and forgot to add further booms.
We know Sentry created a sonic boom. We know the sound of said boom hit Logan's ears before Sentry arrived. Ergo,Sentry was slower than the sound of the boom he made - so he must have slowed down after breaking the sound barrier, for whatever reason.
Up until he hit the Avengers, there was no 2nd boom, even though we KNOW the writer took that into account with the first boom. So we go by what is presented.
As for the issue number, find it yourself. Yes, I know the issue number, no you cannot bait me into giving it. Do your own homework, or maybe someone else will take pity on you.
