In this scene, Quicksilver sees Storm's lightning nearly stopped, so Quicksilver and Jean Grey must be at FTL speed.

●When Quicksilver entered the room, the screen of the computer that was open was moving as it was closing. Computer monitors create images using light waves created by moving electrons inside them. These light waves are like electromagnetic waves moving through any medium, and they move in an empty vacuum. The propagation speed of electromagnetic waves is equal to the speed of light and is approximately 299,792,458 meters. Therefore, the color coming from the computer monitor moves to the pixels at the speed of light, which makes quicksilver ftl speed since it moves faster than the speed of light.

Why did you make another CRT when you have another one with a similar premise open? Just add this argument to the previous CRT

Also, no, this feat has been calculated at lower than FTL

This crt not only affects quicksilver but also jean gray and vuk. Actually, I was going to open a CRT in the form of asking a question, but later I was undecided.

So just add this as part of the other CRT, since it hasn't been rejected or accepted by staff with evaluation rights yet

That's not a FTL feat:
  • Storm's self-generated lightning isn't accepted as MHS+
  • You can see people falling and blocks of wood moving at relative speed to the electric bolt

This doesn't work because of the explosion actively going off in the background. Something that's hypersonic cannot be in motion compared to a beam of light.

I think the reason why the boards are moving is because of Jean's telekinesis power.

Not her moving the boards out of Quicksilver's path, the boards from before that point were still moving relative to the electrical bolt.
 
Doing a test calculation (a really simple one at that), I found the feat to be max Relatavistic+ so no FTL here sadly.
 
I deeply apologise if I got anyone's hopes up but looking at the feat it presents a major inconsistency. Multiple wooden planks are seen moving while the lightning is frozen, leaving me to believe the lightning isn't actually in motion. If you could give me an explanation for this then I'll get on with my calc.

As I said, the reason why the boards move is due to Jean's telekinesis power. I think Jean leaves the house as a result of a telekinetic explosion.

I don't believe telekinetic explosions scale to massively hypersonic+. I think the most likely thing here is that the lightning reached its destination and was no longer moving.

Can you make a calculation for Quicksilver or Jean's speed? Or will it stay at MHS+ speed?

And on that note...why did the OP put usernames in the tags when I explicitly told them the last time they made this thread to not do that?
 
Tahtaları Quicksilver'ın yolundan çıkarmaması değil, o noktadan önceki tahtalar hala elektrik cıvatasına göre hareket ediyordu.

I wanted to point out something that stuck in my mind because I recently watched the movie. I connected the boards moving in the air to Jean Grey's telekinesis, it is already clear from the scene, but if we go according to what you say, the boards move towards the ground only due to gravity, not randomly, but since it moves randomly, it makes more sense that it moves due to Jean's telekinesis attack.
