| Topic | Wait, is Martian Manhunter faster than the Flash? |
| Pogo_Marimo 11/12/19 10:44:29 AM #24: | DC characters have such stupid powers that any storyline featuring them usually devolves into absolute stupidity. How does something that moves faster than light lose to anything that isn't moving faster than light? It's essentially impossible. And I don't mean in a, "Well, TECHNICALLY blah blah blah" type thing. The Speed of Light is the speed of causality. Moving faster than that would, by definition, move you backwards in time. Moving AT light speed, even something that is moving 99.99% of light speed would look stationary to you. But then, blah blah blah Speedforce. What's the point in making you character faster than light if you just going to say, WELL! The Speedforce actually makes it so Light Speed/FTL travel has none of the characteristics of Light Speed/FTL travel, so it doesn't count! That's like my super power being the strongest person in the Universe, but I'm always weaker than whoever I'm fighting too. It literally defeats the purpose. DC does this for a lot of their characters. They don't understand moderation. --- I presume my time here in my darkblack dragondark steel-obliterating solitude has come to its end as well. http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...
