Then wouldn't we go so far as to reason that PIS shouldn't exist in the forum rules? Where do we draw the line here? I know YOU think the line should be drawn further but general consensus disagrees.
Ill go with Thor, more than not, but BA will make him work for it big time. Theres nothing Ive seen BA do that Thor couldnt, while I cant say the same for BA in return.
Not when the nature of power levels is not set in stone.
You're not seeing the bigger picture.
I don't think the argument is whether Adam has superspeed. Of course he does.
You weren't given a response because:
A) You weren't following the rules.
B) Your faults are only faults by your own opinion. Not factual ones.
C) You were going on like a broken record.
D) You couldn't understand how your logic was inherently faulty.
E) Your seeming lack of understanding of the actual rules.
CosmicComet's logic is faulty because he thinks that Black Adam is at least as smart as a kindergarten kid, by using the most basic ability of hit/dodge - speed? We're not talking about obscure abilities that it's doubtful whether or not the character would think mid-battle. This is not a cocktail of displayed abilities. It's the most simple thing in battle.
I know it's a risky thing to basically say that "Yes, they would be untouchable to Thor, Hulk etc." in a forum match, but if you want to go with the "well, that's not what would happen in a comic fight", you also have to freely acknowledge that you're calling Black Adam, Superman, Flash and everybody else with sufficient level of superspeed functionally retarded.
That's not an exageration, because even at the age of 3, I knew how to dodge something that has snail-level speed, because I wouldn't want to get hurt. And I also knew that if I want to catch a snail, or tortoise, I wouldn't move at the same level of speed with them, if I have exponentially larger one.
"CIS" doesn't stand for "everybody is retarded".

But yeah, like I said as well, you'd have to think Black Adam is retarded if fighting 'in-character' means he's going to stand around and wait several minutes (possibly more) for one blow to land.
This is why, particular for speed, it is pretty much impossible to marry the two terms 'best of their ability', and 'in-character'. You have to pick one or the other. Either they are fast enough to be untouchable to people who don't have the reflexes demonstrated to touch them, or they
are retarded--which is so far out of character (ironically) that you would have to revise that to them deliberately letting the hits land, as opposed to just being flat out retarded, and that makes things even more sour for the slow party arguers, that again; the only chance their slow guy has of winning is through the faster guy deliberately giving them a chance.
could go either way. any version of adam has a chance against thor. However thor is just more powerful then Adam. Without the hammer though thor would be wasted by adam. Adam was powered by multiple gods however he dosent really have any special abilities that thor cannot handle.
