Catch the bullet
Below characters try to catch a bullet fired 100 meters away in opposite direction from them (they have to outspeed the bullet and catch it) from standing position (no movement before the bullet is fired). Standard pistol (let's say a glock). Who succeeds?
1. Daredevil
2. Elektra
3. Captain America
4. Hulk
5. Thor
6. Silver Surfer
7. Thanos

Retarded thread. All of them can do it.
Run faster than a bullet? Not based on anything I've ever seen. Though I've been pretty out of the loop in comics for years now so maybe I'm wrong.

Prove it, lmao.
I don't think you understand what this thread is about. Abhi is standing at one spot. He fires a gun whilst aiming in front of him.
100m behind abhi, the characters react to the shot, and run towards the bullet, and try to catch it.
You think Elektra and Daredevil, Cap, have those feats? Go on.

Dumb bait thread because it just leads to conflating movement and combat speed. Which have always been different things in comics.

The 9mm Glock bullet travels at approximately v = 366 m/s. For a falling object starting from rest, its height above the ground is given by
h = -1/2 * g * t^2.
Solving for time:
t = sqrt(-2h/g).
If the bullet is fired level from a height of h = 2 m, then:
t = sqrt[-2 * 2m / (-9.81 m/s^2)] = 0.64 s.
The bullet would cover a horizontal distance of:
x = v * t = 366 m/s * 0.64 s = 234 m.
Thus, the contestants need to cover the initial d = 334 m (234 m + 100 m) in under 0.64 s.
To find the minimum required average acceleration, we use:
d = 1/2 * a * t^2.
Solving for a:
a = 2d / t^2 = 2 * 334 m / (0.64 s)^2 = 1,631 m/s^2.
Therefore, they need a minimum acceleration of 1,631 m/s^2.
Surfer is the only one with that level of acceleration, unless Thor, Hulk, and Thanos are able to push off a very durable vertical wall at the start of the bullet firing.
Note: If we account for air resistance, the bullet only travels approximately 162m before falling. In that case, the contestants would need a minimum acceleration of 1279m/s^2.
I suspect (but maybe wrong) that Abhi didn't mean to say that the shooter starts 100 m away, but rather that he shoots the bullet away from the character (while standing next to them, presumably) and they need to travel 100 m before the bullet does and catch it.
Either way it's still a dumb thread. Just also dumb and poorly worded.

I thought Hulk was running and grabbing super sonic amped missles out of the sky? It was also mentioned at one point that his running speed is equal to his reflexes. Also, didnt Hulk move at super speed at one point, stopped a plane from hitting civilians, and the world around him was frozen?
