Haven't read it, was it the old rainbow effect with dates on? I damn well hope so!

Unfortunately not

He was near pluto when they teleported to Earth,he flew after that and he reached Earth before them. Easy to deduct he outflew teleportation.

How do we know he got there before them?

I thought he was there and was waiting for them to finish their conversation. But he started after, and had to track and follow them.

Imo: he pretty clearly arrives after they do. They have a conversation as if he isn't there, then while Arsenal is talking about how it'll take over a week for Supes to find them, his sentence drops off... because Superman just showed up.

And for Superman's arrival, there are little blur/speed lines around the edge of the panel, as if he's just zoomed in. Like a warp speed visual effect.

So I think Philo was right to say "overcomes teleportation" because he basically neuters their escape strategy... but "overcome" is different than "outrace"

This is how I read it too… the whole dialogue that happens when they get to the island kind of nullifies the idea that he outraced the teleportation..

That's not as simple, the teleportation was cloaked from him so he couldn't know the location he needed to go. He arrived earlier and moved to their location once they arrived.

🙄🙄

Hell if I was like a Surfer fan I'd claim that Superman searched entire Earth at superspeed to locate the outlaws.

Or he flew to Earth and, while flying, used his senses to deduce where they ported to.

It's not like he's an actual idiot who can't move and listen at the same time.

The teleportation was cloaked, he could not tell where they landed.

He must've searched entire Earth to locate them, physically of course.

So you're saying that he got to the island after they did

Cool, glad we agree

I think he made a pitstop at the Sun beforehand. Not shown, of course, but you can't prove otherwise.

Edit: then, sundipped, flew to Earth to get the cosmic treadmill.

Nothing to do with the speed of teleport, its because they were cloaked.

Not enough condescending, you need to add some swipe at Superman fans coping or something.

The infamous "I searched the planet" scene. That is such a goofy argument from them. 😂

Because Norrin doesn't have cosmic senses and couldn't have simply scanned the planet sitting there, Occam's what?

I agree. Him locating them despite their cloak says nothing about the speed of the teleport.

Isn't teleportation usually instant by definition?
