Marvel street heroes are currently rated as Massively Hypersonic+ for feats like dodging Electro's lightning (and some other feats that will be tackled soon). I want to change this.
Issues
First off, I know Electro's lightning might fit all of our criteria, and because of that his lightning should travel at 440000 m/s. But in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe from 2004, it's stated that his lightning moves at 1100 feet per second (335,28 m/s), roughly the speed of sound. In Amazing Spider-Man 334 (or 344 idk) it's stated he moves at 140 miles per hour while amped by his electricity.
I obviously know Marvel Handbooks/Databooks have some inconsistent information regarding some Lifting Strength statistics, but it doesn't mean everything there is inconsistent and shouldn't be used. That'd be association fallacy. Some handbooks take information directly from the comics and just put there with a diffent wording.
My objective here isn't just to remove the speed of lightning, it can stay. What I want to talk about is that Electro's "lightning bolts" act more like electricity discharge than a proper lightning bolt. Besides the speed statement being massively slower than what Electro's lightning is believed to be, visually it looks more like electricity discharge. Current Electro's electricity acts and looks like a discharge rather than a full lightning bolt.
Let alone all the questionable feats that were calculated, some of them looks way more like aim dodge than actually dodging the electricity itself. Some feats should be given a second look and if they're legit, calculated with the stated speed from the handbook, or use our electricity speed. I took a good look at some blogs with all the lightning feats, and they were done by Spider-Man or Spider-People in general. It's funny considering that Spider-Sense gives them a massive advantage to dodge everything before it happens.
Calculations
The Marvel Comics verse page sucks dick and doesn't have all the calculations listed. But what I found was this:
Honestly, I prefer to believe that Daredevil isn't blind and could see all this time than that he moves at roughly Sub-Relativistic speeds (Spoiler from someone who have read all his appearences: He doesn't move that fast). Honestly, Street Heroes are much more consistent as bullet timers than literal speedsters.
I won't post any "anti feats" as of now, I prefer it to be discussed with people in the comments. It's a very simple OP, what need to be done is discuss some feats, anti feats and calculations.
