if he literally said such a thing then I'm an idiot (which I'm not).

I'd still like to see the scan you're using to justify saying that Superman can hit lightspeed within 3 meters.
And also Superman vibrating through physical attacks is him reaching light speed within the first 3m of travel.

Vibrating through physical attacks? Superman is punching fast enough to leave afterimages of his own arm behind. Thats it. There's no vibrating involved at all. 😬
No! I meant when he fought DD Rex and Mongul. He didn't vibrate in that scan i posted. But he exceeded the speed of his HV.

How do you know? His HV was already fired and blocked by the guy. He didn't outrace it to his target.
Simple logic combined with writer's intentions. The guy casually blocked a light speed attack while practically yawning. That means he saw the beam in super slow motion and was able to move his hand both with enough speed and casually to block it. Yet when Superman blitzed he couldn't defend. That means Superman's attack was faster than the HV attack. Since Superman was less than 3m away then he exceeded the speed of the HV attack (which was casually blocked).

Heh, I disagree. Even when Gamora won their sparring engagement, she commented on his skill and how it was remarkably difficult for her to find an opening in his defenses.He's just not as fast. Which is something totally different.
I've seen the Gamora fight, that wasn't really demonstrated skill. Gamora seemed to just be evading him with her agility.
Again, I know he has skill but Supes beats him hands down in terms of demonstrated combat skills.

anyways unless Superman has full knowledge of Thanos he is not going to speed blitz thanos every time.
Superman would know that thanos is a major league bad guy but not the full extant of his powers going by public knowledge. Supes might underrate thanos b/c of his arrest by NYC finest.glare
Just put guys like this on ignore.

Originally posted by h1a8As is this. People casually blocking light speed attacks without any indication of whether they were simply aim-blocking is not indicative of light speed reflexes. At all. Reverse-projecting that onto others who outmaneuver them is stupidity by about two degrees.

Originally posted by EnyalusSuperman can aim anywhere on his body with his hv just by looking at that spot. In other words, Superman could have made his hv go towards dude stomach area, chest area, etc. Also it doesn't matter if you see Superman's eyes glow you would still have to block the beam after it is launched. This my friend is called light speed reactions and hand movement.
lmao...Dude, Superman's eyes were glowing. It doesn't take a genius to assume that Superman's considering HVing you when his eyes glow red. Furthermore, his opponent isn't even shown. Soon as Superman's eyes glow he could have put his hand up for all you know. And lastly, Superman's Heat Vision doesn't move at light speed. Especially not on Earth.
Superman's hv has travel to the moon from Earth in a matter of a couple of seconds. I don't quite know the distance the moon is from Earth (will look it up) but I would say that is about light speed. Also, it is clear by writer's intentions that Superman's hv is indeed light speed. Just look at when Clark fought Zod and when Superboy Prime fought Clark also. The HV looked just like a laser beam.
Originally posted by OneDumbG0Superman is not stupid. He will not fire into someone's hand already raised to block when he is indeed trying to legitimately attack them. Obviously by the writer's intention the dude used reflexes and moved his hand to block the beam AFTER the beam was released.
This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. As is this.

Arguing against writer's intention is always a sign of bias.
