Adam is just too fast for Herc. Not that Adam couldn't win without superspeed, of course.

I highly doubt that he could win without the super speed. Herc has waaaaaay more strength feats, waaaaay more battles under his belt, and is certainly a better fighter.
which Herald has Adam beaten? The dude literally gets oneshotted by ultraman and has like four on panel showings and you still support him winning against herc?
Pandora also implied that the Circle of Eternity(who Black Adam killed, mind you) represent a higher power than even Spectre: (please log in to view the image)
When he fought Black Adam? I don't think so.
The Ultraman/BA fight took place in issue #3. The last time we had seen Ulty snort K-Nite was in issue #1, iirc.

treating an actual kid with absolutely no experience with his powers like he's a kid is impressive now? Meanwhile, Hercules has thrown down with Thor on multiple occasions, made the destroyer armor stagger from one of his punches, blocked punches from the hulk, fought sentry, and even staggered galactus.
Yep he moved the moon with the help of parallax/ sinestro. So with the help of the cosmic embodiment of fear he managed to move the moon. Meanwhile, Hercules has held the earth and the heavens themselves up for three hours.
He kind of did. Adam was punching him repeatedly and when he finally used his magic lighting, that's when ultraman casually broke his jaw. What's even worse is that he was still unconscious by the time that Luthor came around and had to be saved by black manta.
I'm not saying that Adam loses this fight, but to say that herc can't win even if their speed was equalized is a ludicrous statement.
Yeah, Pandora implied that but at the same time the Phantom stranger is outright saying that she should be afraid of the spectre. Do we know for sure that they're more powerful than the spectre? Maybe black Adam was more powerful in the past, maybe the circle of eternity are weaker than they're implied as being. All we really know is that for all his hype, Adam casually got his jaw broken by ultraman and was left for dead.
