Superman Speed Revision

The problem is this calc. The assumption here is that if the missiles are fast enough to cross the multiverse then this must be a low-ball, which is technically true. But this is what the OBD calls "hiding an outlier".

Low-balling a feat to be just crossing the observable universe because that bit isn't an outlier is pretty much equivalent to upgrading a Multi-Continental character to Planetary because they did a Universal feat, and that must require them to destroy at least 1 planet.

It's just taking an outlier and then making a new feat out of that outlier that's still an upgrade but not too high of one. So we have 3 choices here:

• Upgrade Superman to Infinite/Immeasurable for keeping up with something that can cross a multiverse

• Assume the missiles can just teleport/portal to other universes

• Just remove this feat from the page and instead scale to Wonder Woman/Green Lantern/Mon-El

Mmm, I think that teleporting missiles are has more sense, tho I'm not familiarized with the third option.

@Ant

Third option is legit just a minor downgrade and 1 edit, because he already has other feats on the page to scale to.

 

[Antoniofer]

Ok, if he has another feats around the same value has this calc, then I'm fine with remove it and scale to the other ones.

 

[Antvasima]

Scaling to Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Karate Kid/Mon-El seems like the best option.

I'll do it.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks.

There's also a scene where Superman and Barry Allen have a conversation in slow motion, and the writer explained in an interview that it was meant to represent that their super-speed reactions are tied to weather or not they want to "activate it", meaning that they can process information in picoseconds (He used this exact number) if they try to.

Added it.
