Who in the Marvel universe can be considered the best flyer in terms of speed, acceleration, maneuverability in tight spaces etc. The total package.

Silver Surfer
Arch Angel
Canonball
Northstar
Nova Prime
Gladiator

Naturally if I've left out any notables, feel free to nominate them.

I say Nova or Glads. I DQd Surfer on technicality.

As far as speed and acceleration, Surfer has some of the most ridiculous speed feat ever done by a comic book character

Nova and Star probably have best all around usage of flight IMO.

Nova and Archangel are the most skilled. Warren's way behind the high-power people in speed, though.

I'll go with Nova.

Sentry

I'll go with gladiator

Ikaris,bitches.

My vote goes for Silver Surfer. Genis-Vell has a ridiculous speed feat himself, I would place him as a close second.

So far it's between Nova Prime and The Surfer, with a dash of a few others. Interesting.

As far as sub-lightspeed characters go, I'd say Ms. Marvel is (or at least used to be) considered the most maneuverable flying brick in Marvel. Hell, they called her Warbird for a time.

Gladiator

Thinking about it, Surfer's rush at Thanos from Infinity Gauntlet is a ridiculous acceleration feat.

Goes from standing still to far beyond light speed in the time it takes for Thanos to raise his hand.

this thread is a surfer stomp

What about all the sublight atmosphere flyers? Vulture, La Peregrine, Falcon, Angel, Redwing, Birdman?

northstar for the upper level (multiples of mach, but not lightspeed or anything) of speed and archangel for the lower sound about right

Yeah usually he gets cranky and his mom tries to make him eat his carrots and he HATES carrots. Pickles he likes...a lot.

Tracks then catches up to Evil Quasar across a star system. Evil Quasar had a huge head start, but Nova always gets his man.

One thing I found odd about that scene was Evil Quasar making a beeline right toward the window of the UCTT ship. I guess he was just going to crash right through it lol!

Bingo.

So far -yes I'm biased- Nova's snatch the stone fly to the sun and back in a phrase (Noooooo) has yet to be topped.

I'm going with Thanos... even though he't not on the TS list... he should be

Even by that time Surfer flew through all that vibranium, grabbed Frankie Raye, and escaped before an electronic signal can reach a detonator and trigger the prison to blow up?

ss no doubt. if we stick to just earth-based guys northstar is a good choice but human torch was exceptional.

They're both very impressive. Depends on distance I suppose, but it'll prolly come down to the name

Can Makari (sp?) fly?

you're just missing one k

missing one k is a better mistake then adding a third lol

Gladiator no contest. At one point...he even moved so fast that Richie aka Nova was unable to follow his movement.

And after that, Nova lost track of Gladiator after the punch but I get what you are saying.

Because Gladiator came back with a train and threw it on Nova.

That wasn't what I was asking.

I wanted to know why you didn't post the scan where he actually moves too fast for Nova. What has him throwing a train at him got to do with anything?

Nah I wouldn't say it was a sneak attack. Nova saw it coming in the prior panel. In that fight we saw both move pretty quickly though.

This whole dialogue between Carver and Pr really made me laugh for some reason. He seemed so confused by his own statements.

This is the only legit speed type movement in the fight imo.
