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.

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

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.

I mean.....it's already caught a fat one.

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 = 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.

Do they have to catch it before.....it falls to the ground? Hits a target 2m away from abhi?
Smurph
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.
Parmaniac
Spider-Man did that, just saying haw-som
Galan007
Surfer might(?) be the only one that I can see doing it, tbh.
Smurph
Jane Thor could do it which means Thor Thor is just too dumb to use his powers

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?

Surfer has never caught a bullet in his career.

Shooter starts 100m away from the characters.

Then why would you put the street levelers in?

Why not? Elektra herself is faster than bullets as you have said several times.
Smurph
So then why give the bullet a 100m head start?

To give it a chance against Elektra 😎😎

Then show these lmao (and don't forget DD and Elektra too, unless you want to concede, coward

)
Let's see you prove that it meets the thread,I wonder if you're equally shit at numbers as you are with letters.

"Coward, show me what I am asking you for". 🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
DarkSaint85
What?
You said they can all do it. I asked you to prove that they can all do it
Where're the scans? I'm saying you're too cowardly to concede.

I got a feeling DS and Abhi both discussed this in advance before abhi created this thread.

Bold of you to assume abhi is 2m tall, let alone that his outstretched arm is 2m above the ground.
Back to class!!

Surfer has failed to stop a shooting twice BTW. And has zero bullet catching feats.
This is from Incredible Hulk 250.

Every hero has failed to stop a bullet "when trying" (i want you to deny this. Please do).

Speedsters catch bullets, Surfer has never caught one. He has only failed to do so.

the rapidly developing ds/abhi connection is a bit disturbing :/ the carver obsession has become equally disturbing.
it's def poorly worded. it's fired away from them, a 100m away. they need to catch it before it hits someone? how far away is the person/target? anyway, obviously ss is the only one capable of the feat. bait thread that has already been derailed. also a chance for abhi to tell everyone how slow ss is

"show him catching a bullet!" because showing him moving at multiples of light speed isn't enough to prove he could effortlessly chase down a bullet without pis lol

Should have used his multiple times light speed to catch those bullets I guess.

If its PIS, surely Surfer has some feats of catching bullets? After all if Surfer can see past, present and future simultaneously, he should be able to catch bullets, right?
