I know it's probably annoying for me to make this thread right after Iron Man's speed is changed but...
1. When the guidebook says Tony has human-level speed, I think it obivously means that almost literally. Yes, characters like Mr Fantastic are rated that despite being a bit higher, but in Tony Stark's case a subsonic rating just seems absurd. He's shown NOTHING of this level before in his human body. He'd be peak human at best due to his martial arts training. If a character like Mary Jane was put in the handbook as human level, would we also claim she's subsonic? Cause she'd be fitting the same criteria.
2. His sub-relativistic+ movement speed seems to imply he fights far faster and can blitz the marvel characters with massively hypersonic movement speed (eg. Thor, Sentry etc.) when in the comics, this is hardly the case. I don't think it's fair for a character to have a higher stat than those who are generally seen as equals to him just because he doesn't have a set classification in the handbooks. We are very strict with characters who have a handbook classification and limit them to be compared to others (even if they show higher feats). But when it come to charactes who don't have a proper handbook classification we simply throw out arms up and give them whatever narutoforums feat we can find. This is unfair and gives the impression that certain characters are WAY faster than others when they rarely are.
EDIT: Oh, and if Iron Man's supersonic flight speed in the handbooks translates as relativistic, does that mean that other characters with supersonic flight speed in the handbooks are also relativistic?
