She would have to be much faster than the object/laser to intercept it with her bracelets. If the attack can be assumed to be a light-based attack, then she has to be faster than light to block it in those instances. It simply won't work unless it's slow HV or light-based attack, and there is no such thing.
Very few times, no matter what, has WW been unable to block shit. From all sides....while blind in some instances.
Her superspeed is not explained at all. That is the main issue. Maybe they don't want her to be too much like a Kryptonian?
You can try to make the claim that XYZ street-level character has dodged bullets and lasers, but no one comes close to what WW does. So those are outliers for them.
No one really knows how she does it other than "super speed," of which you are trying to negate.
So, again, at full capacity, Zod is light speed and WW is going to react at FTL speeds.

Superman doesn't always operate at optimal speed and isn't always consistent.
No reason to think he was throwing fists slowly.
Originally posted by carver9Sure it can. Batman dodged HV after it was fired. HV can job just like anything else can.
Same can not be said about heat vision.

This you?

So how fast is freeze breath? Let's put it like this, Flash and Super was running 2000 mps and Superman heat vision couldn't touch Flash at this speed. Is Superman heat vision slower than his ice breath?

Tbf, I don't think people know of this scene.
He's just trolling Superman, and just casually dealing with him even as Superman is grunting with effort and trying to KO him.

Wasn't he blind? Also, that doesn't mean he was fighting FTL. If that's the case, you might as well say Sentry was doing the same against Hulk.

And Mongul has knocked Superman out. What's your point?
Originally posted by carver9Blind people can still punch. Especially when they can compensate with super hearing, as Zod notes at the bottom of that scam.

Hulk and Sentry have nothing to do with this thread.
Are you trying to say that characters can block something FTL without moving FTL?
