The feat you posted in the OP, however, doesn't definitively illustrate speed that is beyond the capabilities of quite a few 'lower end' comic speedsters, though.

Besides, I dont think there are some physical walls in black holes that you could/need break through by sheer force. Or more accurately, I dont think you could punch through gravity by fists.....

I don't think Flashy Flash, Platinum Sperm or Monsterized Garou were doing that casually. And this is the only time we've seen them fight at these speeds, so asking for other comic characters that can (i) consistently do this, in a (ii) casual manner, seems a bit overreaching. You couldn't even do that for these three.
^ Ok. Fair point. But when you request examples of comic characters performing such feats casually, that caveat doesn't appear to be available.
So let's say I open a thread and ask who in the One Punch Man universe could replicate what WBH and amped Red She-Hulk did during Heart of the Monster. Also, I ask posters to please provide scans showing them accomplishing such feats CONSISTENTLY.
I also ask them to show they could join in on such a feat with no issues. Casually.
Could you do that with Saitama, or Blast or Awakened Garou? Or would your reaction be, "Dude, that seems like a disingenuous question at worst, a loaded question at best"?
I think that's what some posters are having an issue with.
So anyway... if you haven't read OPM, go ahead and read it. Just fantastic stuff.
And while I don't necessarily agree with the vocal minority that each consecutive chapter breaks its own internal "power-scaling" hierarchy and is utterly inconsistent...
... I wouldn't really dedicate effort or time dispelling such a narrative.
I've been peeping it out. Literally within the hour DBZ fans were in the youtube comments of the latest OPM chapter in force. It was hilarious.
I mean at this point it's pretty clear Saitama is a different animal. Casually flipping the entire surface of IO (larger than Earth's moon) one handed? Kicking and slapping aside dimensional portals like soccerballs? That's looney tune type shyt.
Pretty much. But the main point being, it's not something that, say, is completely unheard of in comics. And not something we necessarily need to utilize top end elite speedsters for.
