i'm good with whatever.

Ah...

Okay, well while I can't rate Lobo, my order for the others would be Doomsday, then Thor, then Hulk.

If Doomsday was a 10, Thor would be somewhere around 7, maybe, and Hulk would be a... 3, 4?

I dunno. I don't think either gap means that one can dance around the other like say, Superman does around Mongul.

Where Lobo is concerned, I know he's got some degree of enhanced speed, but I don't think it's nearly enough to overwhelm someone like Superman, nor is it an ability that is often (if ever) remarked on by other characters.

So as far as combat speed goes, I'd say: Doomsday>>Thor>>Lobo>>Hulk.

Lobo's speed is based on need.

Thor--1st
Hulk--2nd
Doomsday--3rd.

Doomsday > Thor > Hulk > Lobo

Who haven't read Doomsday? That still doesn't take away from what I am asking for. At least post fts to prove your case instead of statements and the "who he fought" argument. Doomsday have enough showings to prove if he is a speedster or not.

You haven't, because if you had, you wouldn't be asking me for feats. Feats, which were posted in the last thread, but you ignored those too.

-Doomsday had multiple statements of great speed from other characters.

-Doomsday didn't struggle with a speedster.

-Doomsday has Kryptonian dna.

^And we know that Kryptonians are specifically fast because of their enhanced muscular power from solar rays. Doomsday has this exact same attribute.

Kryptonians are fast because of their super strength, as opposed to The Flash who is fast because of a specific power. Doomsday is Kryptonian. Doomsday also has super strength from solar energy just as other Kryptonians.

Doomsday is a speedster. Period.

Oh that. Okay, you don't agree then. Fair enough.

Lobo is the fastest here. This, I have little doubt of, as he hammered Superman continuously and did so unanswered.

Thor, Hulk, and Doomsday are in the same class.

Superman was able to remain untouched by the intelligent Doomsday Rex. This shows that Doomsday is not a Flash, Quicksilver, Northstar... etc type of speedster.

Doomsday, Thor, Hulk.. Heck even Spiderman has enhanced speed due to being superhumanly strong, but super duper speed is something that none of them have.

Thor, Hulk, Doomsday, and Lobo can likely break 300 MPH running speed. Didn't Juggernaut recently do this?

Doomsday's speed overwhelms the likes of: Maxima, Superman, AMPED Superman, Guy, Booster, etc. etc. to the point that they comment on how remarkably fast he is.... But he doesn't have any combat speed feats..?

The writer's intent via narration and illustration were clear as day; Doomsday is F-A-S-T. You people are hysterical.

You know what Superman's super duper speed comes from right?

From his solar powered superstrength as a Kryptonian.

That goes for Doomsday as well.

Superman/Supergirl/Superboy etc are fast because they are immensely strong. That holds true for Doomsday as well. Since the reason for their strength is the same as his.

lobo has a few feats like this:

http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/Lobo/?action=view&current=lobocombatspeed1.jpg

the fact that he has a couple leads me to conclude he has some measure of superspeed. thor doesn't have many direct evidence feats to support superspeed but he has a couple as well. the feats may not be utterly compelling, but taken for what they are they can be used to make an argument, albeit not a particularly strong argument.

i would agree dd is the fastest here for sure, but using thor and lobo's HIGHEST feats, i'd say they weren't THAT far apart--at least it's an argument i would listen to.

dd>thor=lobo>hulk

and i STILL don't understand how all these 'horrible, hyperbolic statements' are being divorced from the PERFORMED FEATS that they reference. here is an imaginary exchange:

DD PERFORMS FEAT. person x (who himself has superspeed) can't react/defend said FEAT. person x says 'damn, he's REALLY fast to have performed that FEAT!'

what did this exchange BEGIN with again.....?

I thought Maxima was ripping through Doomsday during their fight and punched him through a building and was only taken.down.when Superman.showed up? Hulk overwhelmed Gladiator, Genis, Sentry, Hyperion, Captain Mar-vell and the list goes on. Hulk blitzing Ironman and Wonderman>>>>Doomsday Blitzing Boooster Gold.

Whether you like it or not, Doomsday's speed has been specifically compared to the Flash (this was DoS DD, who was weaker than other Doomsdays; also it was a time when Flash wasn't as fast as he is now).

I've never seen the Hulk directly compared to a speedster, let alone one of the Flash's caliber (not that there really is a speedster in Marvel of Flash's caliber, sans the Runner)

We know Superman/Supergirl/Superboy are fast because they have legitimate speed feats. Re-appropriating the feats of Superman and applying them to Doomsday because he shares some of the genetic make up is a bit of a stretch don't you think? The best Doomsday has in the speed department is some off the cuff "he's fast" statements from otherwise fast character forcibly jobbing to a low speed bruiser. It's real impressive that every once in a while DC lets him gets to get into a punching matches with characters who have conveniently forgotten they have super speed... but that isn't anything unique to Doomsday... Hulk does it all the time too... and it doesn't make either of them speedsters.

Pretty much. That's why I am trying to see these speed fts everyone here are mentioning. Hell, even Mongul moved his hands in a blur motion numerous of Times.

They aren't forgetting they have super speed, they are using super speed and so is Doomsday. I suppose Flash while in motion wasn't using super speed when DD was able to touch him, huh? He clearly was. And if you say that he doesn't have to have superspeed to touch the Flash, then you can't use the argument that "other Justice League members without superspeed could hit DD, therefore he must not have superspeed."

"Didn't even see him mo--" "He's... faster than Flash" "Gotta match doomsday's speed or I'm done!" "How could he move so fast?"

These are the statements of what was taking place. It's obvious to most people that he has superspeed. We aren't the only group who believes this. The group who disputes his speed is very very small. You guys are in denial.

All throughout Doomsday's debut and establishment in DOS his speed was referenced. Not "wow he's pretty quick" or a once off statement. His speed is also reiterated in HP. It's not like he's got his own series and years upon years of being on panel over and over again where you can cherry pick a single statement.

Has the Hulk ever, in all his years, been referenced this heavily in a solitary story arc by people who themselves have superspeed?

Yes, they have feats establishing that they are fast, and what is also established within stories is that they are fast because of their physical strength.

DOS Doomsday had constant remarks on his speed, was not overwhelmed by speedsters, and on top of that he is a Kryptonian, who've we've established are fast because of their gifted solar powered physical strength.

The reason there is any sort of lingering doubt about the veracity of his speed is because they see a hulk-like physique and just want to assume that its hyperbole. And that falls when every other consideration is taken into account.

Maybe if Doomsday was remarked as being slow specifically, we could remark that his kryptonian heritage means nothing on that front, but that's not what we have. Speed is not a kryptonian 'superpower' the way flight and heat vision and what not are. It's simply a physical attribute that's a part of their entire enhanced package. It makes absolutely no sense for his speed to not increase with solar energy when the very point is that it enhances his stats period. There is no picking and choosing.

Take it down a notch. I was just mentioning what Superman did to Rex, which pretty much drew much attention to all of the fights that they had. It was either PIS or Superman wanting to mix it up with someone. After all, if Superman did his vibrating routine in all of his fights with DD there would have really never have been anything to write about.

I don't have any digital comics, only paper. And I don't own a scanner. But if you've read DOS 6-7 times like you've said you have, you shouldn't have any trouble remembering it.

I'm not saying solomon grundy has superspeed, and that's not even part of this debate. However, if grundy is able to hit someone with superspeed and he himself doesn't possess superspeed, and you acknowledge this, you can't use the rest of the Justice League being able to hit DD in DOS as any kind of proof that he lacks superspeed.

No. That's his speed referenced in spite of his size. The Doomsday references are on sheer speed alone.

It's been a while since I've read it and I'm basing this off of memory.

I agree with you, Doomsday does have super speed but not to the extent you are trying to put it. That's why I am asking you for speed fts. Pr, I remember you posting scans me along with some other individuals disagreed with.

I recall DD moving quite fast in many of his appearances, but so has the Juggernaut. What I have yet to see, is him moving at Flash like speed. Has anyone ever witnessed DD moving like the Flash? I mean in a blur.

Like I said, take it down a notch, I wasn't attacking you, nor was I making statements as fact. I have just never seen DD move like the Flash. Have you ever seen DD adapt and become as fast as Wally or any other Speed-Force amplified human? Take this as if I am challenging you or as a question, it's entirely up to you.

DD slightly higher than thor but not by any amount that would deem it a significant advantage in a fight, then hulk, and then lobo.

They aren't forgetting they have super speed, they are using super speed and so is Doomsday. I suppose Flash while in motion wasn't using super speed when DD was able to touch him, huh? He clearly was. And if you say that he doesn't have to have superspeed to touch the Flash, then you can't use the argument that "other Justice League members without superspeed could hit DD, therefore he must not have superspeed."

"Didn't even see him mo--" "He's... faster than Flash" "Gotta match doomsday's speed or I'm done!" "How could he move so fast?"

These are the statements of what was taking place. It's obvious to most people that he has superspeed. We aren't the only group who believes this. The group who disputes his speed is very very small. You guys are in denial.

All throughout Doomsday's debut and establishment in DOS his speed was referenced. Not "wow he's pretty quick" or a once off statement. His speed is also reiterated in HP. It's not like he's got his own series and years upon years of being on panel over and over again where you can cherry pick a single statement.

Has the Hulk ever, in all his years, been referenced this heavily in a solitary story arc by people who themselves have superspeed?



If the ability to trade punches with a character who possessed super speed was in and off itself enough to accurately extrapolate the relative speed of a character, then would could reasonably assume that virtually every character had reflexes. I guess Grundy and General Eiling are all faster than Hulk too with their crazy FTL Speed!

Doomsday doesn't have any speed feats. He has punched several people who do... but that can be said for almost every character, including the other four in this thread, most noticeably the Hulk himself. The fact that outside of punching people, he lacks a single quantifiable speed feat should be self explanatory. But never mind that! Doomsday fought Superman! That means he has super speed because Superman has super speed! Hulk's fought Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Sentry, Genis and Hyperion... but that is just them jobbing to Hulk and forgetting their speed. When Superman fought Doomsday, who didn't (and still doesn't) have a legitimate speed feat, that was an accurate portrayal of Doomsdays speed though... and that isn't at all an half brained, barely thought out double standard... because... well apparently it just isn't...

Because Booster said Doomsday was faster than the Flash while getting his head slammed in a car door?

1. Spiderman would undoubtibly be faster than Guy, but do you think Spider-man is so fast that Guy wouldn't even be able to see him move?

2. Is Spider-man faster attack speed wise than Hulk?

3. This still doesn't take away from other characters who do have superspeed remarking at the speed of DD.

4. This is just one example in a story arc flooded with references and examples. The writers intent is crystal clear.

Like I said, take it down a notch, I wasn't attacking you, nor was I making statements as fact. I have just never seen DD move like the Flash. Have you ever seen DD adapt and become as fast as Wally or any other Speed-Force amplified human? Take this as if I am challenging you or as a question, it's entirely up to you.

not demonstrating speed force speed=being as fast as hulk?

huh.

people keep referencing all the speed-related comments hulk has. we have one terrible example (simon and IM stand there commenting--here he comes....) so, where are all the others? anyone? people keep crying for dd feats--where exactly are the hulks?

1. Yes Spiderman could blitz Guy without him seeing him, and has done so to characters that can fly at FTL speed through a meteor swarm and never get hit once.

2. Yes he does, but he does not have greater burst speeds than the Hulk, Thor, Doomsday, or Lobo due to them being greater in strength.

3. Never said this, I believe that Doomsday's short burst speeds are superhuman, but so are any class 100 character. Unless their particular physique does not allow them to move at such speeds. For example The Colossus that The Savage Hulk fought years ago was slow due to his unique physique.

4. Noted.

That goes for Doomsday as well.

Superman/Supergirl/Superboy etc are fast because they are immensely strong. That holds true for Doomsday as well. Since the reason for their strength is the same as his.

I don't think superspeed is directly proportional to strength. If that was the Usain Bolt would be the strongest man on earth but he isn't. Its not a comics example but if we have to use a comics character the hulk would be alot faster and The Thing would be faster than he is. Super Strength also has no bearing on superman speeding up his perception to match flash which basically froze everyone around them. I think super speed is solar based super power this is why he can perform billions of calculations within seconds and I don't think strength has anything to do with this.

Actually in terms of muscular twitch fibers Bolt is the strongest man on Earth. They did a study on him, and found that his muscles move at a rate of a man half his size.

The stronger you are proportional to your size, the faster you are.

Beetles are super fast for their size because they are immensely strong for their size.

Conversely T.Rex wouldn't have been able to run 40 mph because it would've needed leg muscles that take up over 90% of its body weight, and that is impossible.

As for your Hulk vs Thing example, not many people in fiction understand (or conveniently wish to not acknowledge) that speed comes from power, and power comes from muscle.

On the other hand, some characters have super speed directly because of their strength, Superman for instance, as stated by the likes of Flash himself.

I honestly don't understand what isn't computing with you guys. Doomsday not only has statements regarding his speed, he has feats to back them up. Statements+feats=incontrovertible proof, last time I checked.

I won't deny this, but the Hulk as we both know does not have a static strength level. At base, Superman just may be what you say he is. He is much stronger than the Hulk, but again that is the Hulk's base stats.

Here's your soap box buddy, so lets see those alleged speed feats.

Doomsday doesn't have any speed feats. He got into some slug fests with some characters who got their speed nerfed down so a Hulk expy would stand a chance and make an entertaining enemy. Awesome.

Except that you'd have to have a basis for comparison to prove they were slowed down. Doomsday in his first appearance wasn't like a character that had 40+ years of history.

To even believe they were slowed down, you'd have had to show an example of Doomsday having a speed limit or being unable to react to something.

Doomsday was just that fast.

I am able to understand that the writer INTENDED Doomsday to be fighting at remarkable speeds--to the point where his raw speed was one of the predominate factors as to why he was trouncing Superman (as Superman himself explicitly states.)

...I really don't understand what's so hard about this..? Doomsday is F-A-S-T. Superman knows it, amped Superman knows it, Guy knows it, Booster knows it, Maxima knows it, etc. srsly

I don't think that scan can be argued with tbh.

Why would a writer purposefully nerf and slow down Superman to fight a brand new villain instead of just making the new villain fast like Superman?

Doesn't make much sense does it?

And here's where you miss the point entirely.

Hulk has 50 years of feats of him not having super-speed. To make the fight fair to Hulk, you make them slow down to face him.

Superman had, at the time, 8 years of feats showing him as having super-speed. To make Doomsday a challenge for him, they sped him up to face him. Simple.

Did those characters make their debut against Hulk? Were those characters created to kill Hulk? Was one of the reoccuring themes of the story arcs that those fights took place in Hulk's speed?

I really like Hulk, but Doomsday is faster.

Kryptonian minds, like all true speedsters, work in superspeed as well. This is why everything appears slow to them.

Even if Hulk was as physically fast as Doomsday (whish he isn't), he wouldnt be able to keep up mentally with him. Doomsday would see everything coming at him in slowmotion and respond accordingly.

Ok I must say in the beginning of another thread I was on the side that DD isn't fast, I'm not sure anymore tbh but I'd like to know do you guys (DD supporters) think he can blitz Hulk or Thor? Pr doesn't I've seen his reply in the beginning of this thread.

My problem is Superman can be ridicoules fast in combat and, at least in my opinion, he could blitz Thor and Hulk speedwise I don't see DD doing this though that's my problem with the topic.

What's the point of bringing up debuts? If Doomsday was fast, this would continue past his debut? Characters higher showings is during their first appearance...the down part about this is, it doesn't consistently stay with the character.

Doomsday was just that fast.

You mean like hypothetically lets say Superman was doing a tv interview parallel to Doomsday beating the JLA? So we could so how fast that was happening relative to real time? Or lets say, civilians being witnesses to Superman and Doomsday's fight, and commenting and even reacting to the collateral damage? Or maybe like news crew helicopter with Lois and Jimmy fallowing the action with no difficult? Or maybe random fodder backing up Superman with lasers? Or Superman having a conversation with Lois mid battle with Doomsday? Or maybe Jimmy documenting the fight with flash photography? Because... all of that happened in DOS...

Doomsday wasn't "speed up" to fight Superman. Superman was slowed down. It's plain as day.

And you don't see a difference between Superman's normal speed, and a difficult yet still possible to fallow "blur"? Hard to fallow motion blur is street level man. Superman's got a speed vasectomy in DOS, he was jobbed out to Doomsday. Plain and simple.

It shows that the fight played out real time and not at super speed "we just didn't realizes it was super speed but it was the writers intention it was super speed", like Galan suggested.

I just told you... like five minutes ago...

But the reported Superman was talking to was baseline human. Everything that happened in DOS took place in a speed that was slow enough that normal humans could fallow the action. That can't be argued. Normal human perception is a constant, Superman's speed is a variable, we don't know how fast was moving, but we do know normal people could perceive his fight. Ipso facto Superman's speed was nerfed.

Then why was it stated in present tense? It was said "I... I think the red-an-blue thing IS Superman. I don't want to know what the other thing is!"

If it was just a blur flying by, then by the time he got a couple of words out they (Supes and DD) would already be gone. Thus, it would have been said/written in past tense.

Superman hit him with a flying attack but that's not the end of the fight. There's a panel before and after that.

We clearly see Superman rushing Doomsday. The only person that was a blur during that scene was Superman...Superman taking Doomsday with him caused Doomsday to move in a blur fashion as well since he was bullrushed.

Exactly.

It's the exact same case people use to argue that Hulk has super speed... and yet everyone who believes it's a viable argument for Doomsday laughs and shits all over the Hulk argument. Crazy double standard.

FYI Hulk and Doomsday fanboys are both wrong. Neither of the characters have a level of super speed worth talking about, BUT if one of them does than the both do. Anyone capable of forming an objective train of thought should be able to see that.

I bet he'll think what any logical person would think.

Hardly any bricks have so consistently been regarded to be as fast as DD.

Whether or not DD has super-speed I will not get into too heavily. I think if you weight the characters statements (who have super speed) as literal.. then sure he's pretty fast. However, he doesn't really have any quantifiable speed feats to place hiim where people are wanting to place him. So, I guess it just depends on what you want to weight the most.

That said buddy, I wouldn't say he's consistently been regarded as fast. Rex, Wars even HP... didn't have nearly the references that DOS had.. wouldn't you agree?

I just told you... like five minutes ago...

But the reported Superman was talking to was baseline human. Everything that happened in DOS took place in a speed that was slow enough that normal humans could fallow the action. That can't be argued. Normal human perception is a constant, Superman's speed is a variable, we don't know how fast was moving, but we do know normal people could perceive his fight. Ipso facto Superman's speed was nerfed.



I don't see how you can be serious.

Bottom line: Doomsday has feats of speed. Doomsday has people telling other people how fast he is.

How does he not have speed? Because some humans managed to pick it up on a news camera?

There's more evidence for him having speed (outside DOS too), than there is against it.

That isn't what I'm saying at all.

Exactly.

It's the exact same case people use to argue that Hulk has super speed... and yet everyone who believes it's a viable argument for Doomsday laughs and shits all over the Hulk argument. Crazy double standard.

So if Hulk can't have it, Doomsday can't either? How mature.

The fact that his speed is referenced again in HP just cements it. It may not have been as heavily stated (why beat us over the head with it again when it's already been established in DOS) but it's there.

Then show some speed feats! Show me one single speed feat from Doomsday. It's been two decades since he first appeared, if DC intended for him to have super speed we would have seen it played out by now.

None of the characters that fought Doomsday in that DOS showcased any significant levels of super speed during combat, and alternatively - as I have pointed out - we were shown how the fight was being perceived by normal civilians half a dozen times or more throughout the arc. Doomsday was never shown to have super speed, and he doesn't have a single quantifiable, concrete speed feat under his belt... but because he fought a jobbed out Superman who was operating at 1/10000th of his speed potential you've decided to arbitrarily attribute him with super speed? Get real.

Maturity has nothing to do with it, it's the same f@cking argument, they are either both true or both false.

Going by this unquantifable speed equivalation I can make legit cases of Spider-man and others being FTL. There's a difference between fighting somebody with high-end superspeed, and fighting a somebody with high-end superspeed who explicitly mentions speed as something has a hard time matching. Mongul gets in punchouts with Superman, but that doesn't mean that he is on his level of speed. On the contrary, when Superman actually used his level of superspeed, he effortlessly punks him.

Doomsday is a different case. Superman specifically mentions speed as something he has a hard time matching. There's no logical way to get around that, unless you want to dumb it down and say that Superman was actually Captain America-level in speed or something equally stupid. It's about as clear-cut as anything combat-speed comparative can possibly get. And it's corroborated by everything that has happened up until then - which is everyone getting overwhelmed by Doomsday's speed and making statements on it - whether it's comparing him to Flash, or being stupid-faced by how fast he is.

How anybody can ignore any of this, and say that his superspeed is questionably is simply astonishing.

But that's the only logical explanation, if Supes has problems keeping up with him speedwise in battle he should operate at the top of his abilities, if that's the case we can or better said have to take a look at his best fighting speed feats (that happened before DOS) and considering how insanely fast Superman is/can be combatwise, DD should be able to blitz most characters in combat especially considering that DD isn't holding back his strength or pulling his speed in any way given his feral nature.

That's my problem with the entire topic, I had no prob if a Lantern wouldn't be able to keep up with but it Supes.
