The Avengers Assemble characters currently have FTL speed, but the only justification I can find is Thor can fly at faster-than-light speed in space. Afaik, he doesn't react to anything while flying at these speeds. Unless Thor has such a feat, the justification is inapplicable for these reasons:
The next best speed feat I can find is Thor reacting to his own lightning, which would probably be Massively Hypersonic. This can be their new rating for combat and reaction speed. But if FTL combat and reaction speed is to stay, there needs to be better justifications than space flight speed.The typical example of such cases of travel/flight speed that doesn't necessarily scale to reactions is space travel. As space is incredibly empty there are virtually no objects one has to navigate around between destinations. Just flying in a straight line from A to B would be safe. At the same time the typical destinations, such as stars and planets, are so large that they can easily be seen from millions of kilometers away. As a result a character would only need reactions equal to a miniscule fraction of their travel speed to perform a safe and precise landing on them.
