Captain America (Ultimate Universe) strange speed feat question

10,147

On this page: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_America_(Ultimate_Universe)

We have the following statement: "Reacted to Silver Herald's electric attack after it was fired" which links to this: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/123441/3052522-cap+vs+ss+#4+(6).jpg

Captain America (Ultimate Universe) is given the following Combat Speed rating (Ignoring his Movement speed rating.): Hypersonic+ combat speed (Presumably at least comparable to the original Captain America. Reacted to Silver Herald's electric attack after it was fired).


Why is his Combat Speed listed as Hypersonic, when he dodged electricity?

I don't know Silver Herald too well, nor his powers, beyond knowing that he's not Silver Surfer, but I know that electricity/lightning from superpowers does not necessarily share the same speed, power, effects, or other properties of Real Life's electricity/lightning.

But putting my digressions aside, what I'm concerned about is the speed of this electric attack that Captain America reacted to after it was fired.


If it's real electricity, with Real Life electricity speed, isn't that above Hypersonic+?

And if this superpower electricity has its own speed not equal to that of Real Life electricity speed, then what is that? Does anyone know of a source we can get on that speed?

Furthermore, does Captain America (Ultimate Universe) have precedent in his speed -and possibly other relevant feats- that support this being an appropriate feat to cite for his speed, as opposed to him dodging this possibly being an outlier?


And won't the page might need to be changed after this, if the speed does end up getting revised?


I'm unsure, but it may also be worthwhile for an admin to highlight this thread, although I'm also unsure if that's strictly necessary.
 
You do have a point, but I am uncertain at what speed thst we should classify the Silver Herald's blast. In lack of better options, we tend to scale from the official handbook ratings.
 
I removed the Silver Herald mention, since it seems unquantifiable.
 
Is the Marvel wiki considered official? Also, I'm pretty sure this Captain America has higher feats than those on his profile.
 
No, but it copies the statistics ratings directly from the handbooks.
 
That is only via flight. On his own, he is slower than Captain America.
 
Well, I don't have it available at least.
