Hulk vs Wolverine vs Professor X vs Quicksilver!

The forum is pretty dead, so I thought it would be fun to have a thread like this.

The Scenario
Our four contestants are all given a GL ring , and are proficient in its use. No cynical wills, no CIS, none of that.

Emma Frost is given a pack of 100 cards, perfectly shuffled, with a variety of pictures on them - an apple, a boat, a bicycle, whatever.

She draws one, and psychically broadcasts the picture simultaneously to all four contestants. Assume no psychic dampeners are in play, Wolverine's Weapon X training isn't hampering him, Hulk's rage isn't blocking Emma etc. They all receive the image at the same time.

The Contest
As soon as they receive the mental image from Emma, each contestant must use their GL ring, and form a construct of the image - an apple, a boat, a bicycle, whatever. No embellishments are made, no crude representations are made - they all make exactly the same image. Every GL ring is exactly the same, fresh from Oa, fully charged etc.

The thread is to see who can form the image first - a quickdraw, if you will.

The Contestants
Hulk (let's use Savage)
Wolverine
Professor X
Quicksilver

Who wins? Whose thoughts are fastest? Order them, if you dare!

Hmmm

Quicksilver
Wolverine
Prof X
Hulk

Professor X
Quicksilver
Wolverine
Hulk

Professor X
Wolverine
Quicksilver
Hulk

Doctor Doom
Doom
Victor Von Doom
Dr. Doom

👆

Reasons, everyone?

It has to be either Pietro or X coming out on top.

Pietro due to actual reaction time, X due to skill with his mind.

Imo, Quicksilver should be the clear #1, given that he effectively has [a lot] more [relative] time to perceive the image and manifest the construct accordingly. Speedster-brains are a thing, more times than not.

Wolverine seems to be a good pick for the #2 spot, primarily because of his enhanced perception/reaction speed.

Xavier obviously has the most telepathic experience, but in this particular scenario, I don't think it counts for much... Though I am mildly curious why some would select him for the #1 spot..? /shrug

Hulk... Shouldn't even be here.

Hulk is Hulk! But I put him here as he actually does have *some* reaction speed feats, but isn't as obvious as say Wolverine.

Professor X can put the best thought into it. He’d have quality and a dream come true.

Because speed isn't everything skill and finesse can make things go fast to.

Let's take a shooting competition for example, one person has a semi-automatic rifle but is very very skilled at shooting.

One person has a machine gun but has never shot a gun in their life.

You put 10 targets out in the field, nine times out of 10 the skilled shooter is going to hit all 10 targets before the machine gunner does.

But that is regular humans, Quicksilver is so far beyond everyone else here in speed that yeah he's obviously going to win.

But with Xavier that is his bread and butter so I can see him doing it faster than Hulk and Wolverineeven if they are faster and have better reaction times.

But in this scenario, every contestant has the same rifle and the same amount of skill operating said rifle.

It doesn't seem like anybody is really arguing against the notion that Xavier could use a GL ring "better" than Quicksilver. And if Xavier was amped by the Speedforce, nobody would likely argue he couldn't win a quick-draw contest against an unamped Xavier.

But should it be that surprising that Xavier/Hector Hammond could use a GL ring "faster" than Quicksilver/Mary Marvel? If you read enough comics, the realm of thought isn't exactly measured by RL speed:

Could Quicksilver use a GL ring faster than Hal or Kyle?

yat has super speed, right? has anyone ever seen him create constructs faster than anyone else?

a point of interest cuz it's cool--in one of kyle's greatest feats (imo) he created his own lantern corps. and one of the lanterns was able to access the speed force. she had trouble using her speed and ring at the same time but she was able to use the ring and share speed with Adam strange. a speedforce user with a ring would be pretty awesome lol

Do you mean Green Lightning? Yeah, massive waste.

Only time I could think of was when Wally got Hal's ring:

Mind you, this was when he was losing his connection to the SF, so was pretty slow (for him). Even with the SF, he was still super inexperienced with the ring:

For this thread, am assuming all issues are turned off - so all contestants are super experienced and expert at ringslinging.
