I'm neutral to removing SoL Heat Vision

Image doesn't work cause it comes from fandom

Well that’s dumb. Try the Cyborg gif in the blog

Anything that gives off a shine on a black surface. For example, that painful glare you may get on a black plastic bezel from the light striking right in front of it. I remember Supes's heat vision causing a glare on the floor just after Cyborg was hurled aside where the floor reflected the light with an orange-white glare.

Yep, that's the one, right where it hits the car the floor beneath it shines. Pool reflects it too, nice.

Superman is MHS+ in Man of Steel and his reactions are said to be equal to his flight or something. IIRC I chopped up bits of that flight before to calculate and one of the fastest parts were pretty high into MHS+.

Anyway I'll read up the arguments later

yeah. i'm agreeing with the OP
- 4,221

Pretty sure its always portrayed as moving in a straight line
- 21,489
- 30,820
straight line movement and having heat are not qualifiers

I'm neutral on this, while the OP does make sense, so do the arguments against him

Being shown to only move in a straight line isn't really evidence as much as showing that it doesn't bend, which is actively contradicting that the beams move at light speeds.
It being hot also doesn't really mean much. For example there's plenty of IRL example of SoL explosions that dwarf whatever Superman has shown

Well, gamma rays and light are vastly different things.
- 20,606

Gamma Rays are lightspeed and have greater heat than Superman's energy blast. His heat vision being hot is not something that can take away from them being lightspeed. Them being fire-like can be used, but not the heat.

The point was that his Heat Vision is orders of magnitudes hotter than real life light and laser beams, even at "gentle" outputs, supporting the "Heat Vision is unrealistic" claim.
- 20,606
- 17,607
Yes, but that doesn't mean anything. Them being hot is not counter evidence for a SoL rating.

It seems like the consensus here is to not consider Superman's heat vision as being SoL, and as such remove all speed scaling from it.
What should we scale from instead, and is somebody here willing to handle applying these revisions?

Probably early Superman’s flight speed and Wonder Woman reacting to lighting
- 8,431
- 10,671
For Superman’s travel speed, I think so. For Wonder Woman, not so much
- 168,514

Hmm. If somebody links to a video clip of the evidence, perhaps I can ask some calc group member to handle it?

WOuld any of you be willing to help us out by calculating the speed required for the above feat please?
