So: WB travels from an unknown place in Norway to the north pole in about a month. Using Oslo as an estimate, thats about 2100 miles in 30 days. Thats roughly 70 miles per day. Given that he was traveling with Rose on his back and would need to stop to hunt, sleep, and eat, a reasonable amount of time spent walking would be about 12 hours per day. that means that he walks 70 miles in 12 hours, or about 6 miles per hour while walking. Humans walk about 25 miles in 8 hours, making walking speed about 25/8 mph, aka 3 mph. Given that WB has the mentality of a human and therefor would pace himself the same, his ratio of walk speed to sprint speed should be the same. The peak sprint speed of a person is about 28 mph, making the ratio (sprint speed/walking speed) aka about 9.5. That ratio applied to WB's 6 mph walk would make his peak sprint 57 mph. This is about 25 m/s, or on the mid-high end of "Superhuman" . This would only be his travel speed, not his reaction speed, so I think his reaction speed should be listed as "At least Superhuman".
 
2100 miles = 3379622.4 meters

30 x 12 = 360 hours

360 x 3600 = 1296000 seconds

3379622.4 / 1296000 = 2.61 m/s

This is not a speed feat.
 
Yes, but thats a walking speed. WB is still a human, just transformed into a Polar Vear, so he would use a similar rate from walking to sprinting as humans.
 
"Walking speed" isn't an argument. Who can know what "walking speed" means here? Was it a brisk walk, a light jog, or a meandering pace?
