Misconceptions:
Cyclops' optic blasts come out at the speed of light.

Misconceptions: Cyclops' optic blasts come out at the speed of light. At least three different statements of that being true so I challenge that sir. |

WAIT! DON''T HAVE THAT SHOWDOWN IN HERE! THAT WOULD BE A GOOD FIRST THING FOR THE PROVING GROUNDS THREAD! It would if I still had the scans. I know one was an X-Men issue and one was a Fantastic Four issue. I do not know where the third one came from. One person I saw said there were actually 5 references to that feat. But since I only have seen 3, I am only willing to state 3 myself. |

It doesn't matter how many references there are to it. Athletic humans have dodged Cyclops' optic blasts, they aren't light speed.
Anything to the contrary is trolling.

Bullet timing is about the sum of it. Besides, characters dodge attacks that should be undodgable all the time. Random X-Villain dodge Storm's lighting bolt? Sure thing. Does the villain have super speed? Nah. |

I guess that would make it too easy for the heroes, so they make all villains reality warpers.

Lol Misconception: Sabretooth is NOT a reality warper. In truth, he just rarely chooses to use it.

Die-Cut IS a reality warper....but only chooses to cut through time and space when it benefits the plot or is in need of an escape.

Nothing like a sword being able to cut through the fabric of time and space.

Bane is a bumbling idiot. Although that's probably been posted numerous times throughout the thread already.

Ozymandias is not on the level on Black Panther, Captain America or Batman, he's Peak Human at most and is an above average fighter. (Would be a Mid - Low 4 on our fighting rank chart, in myopinion) He just seems good, because he goes up against smelly hobos in masks and washed up superheroes.

To be fair, he does catch a fucking bullet at one point. That's some serious skill.

To be fair, he gets shot by the greatest idiot of the whole story.
Also, that would fall under speed, not skill.

The IQ of the shooter has no relevance to the bullet's speed and penetrating power.  |

No shit.
But when your hands shake and you've never held a gun before, the chances and time your opponent has to estimate where you will actually shoot is within the realm of possibility, particularly for comic book characters.

Misconception: Darth Vader is slow. (Wrong. He is slow compared to other Force-sensitives. He is not slow. He has displayed reaction time comparable to most others and average combat speed. He fought evenly with characters such as Rebellion era Luke and Obi-Wan, the former being fast enough at the time to swing his lightsaber so fast that there are several residual green streams resembling a "net of hard light," and the latter being fast enough to strike three opponents "between the start of a yell and conclusion of a blink.")
Note: Vader's speed is rather inconsistent though. He seems fast enough to fight whoever he needs to. He could combat Obi-Wan, Luke, and numerous other Jedi, but Maul appeared to have an edge because of agility/speed, the Dark Woman disarmed him, and TFU novel stated that Starkiller was faster despite having no speed feats prior that outmatch Vader's (to be fair, TFU was filled with poor writing; so the validity of that example is questionable). So, Vader's speed being inconsistent would be more accurate than his speed being low.

Chances of your opponent catching that bullet, as opposed to moving out of the way before you fire or something, are far from the realm of possibility though. At least for an "above average fighter". |
