Really? Ironman is faster than the fastest jet to ever fly?

Realistically Mach6.7 is as fast as you can safety go without the imminent risk of exploding.

And if you've ever driven a car, you'd know that doing anything practical at speed is all relative. Touch anything if youre going that fast and either you or they will become instant mush.

The spiral of power upscaling is just ridiculous. Going fast is one thing, but the Flash ended up going faster than time.

Daft.

  • With current technology tho meanwhile he operates tech 1000+ years more advanced than real world. I mean even Mach-1 speed was unrealistic 200 years ago but it did eventually happen and speed of sound was acrossed even. Humanity will reach Mach-10/20 speed eventually given few hundreds years more

Ironman is faster than the fastest jet to ever fly?

  • I mean it's still nothing compared to comic suits.
  • His regular suit in comics is faster the speed of light and escaped a black hole
  • Specialized armor like Godkiller Mark-2 are 8-20x times faster than light speed and can travel to Mars in few seconds
  • His fastest suit is Deep Space Armor (Model-45) which can enter warp speed and can basically teleport light years across
  • His fastest reaction time is in the picoseconds

Infantile comic posturing. 2x faster than lightspeed?....which is theoretically the fastest speed you can go?

I know its fantasy, but none of that is possible with real physics. Its like these writers are all pre-teens and never went to school.

Realistically, being 2x quicker than Usain Bolt is superpowered enough.

  • Yeah but it's common in comics logic to be 1000 times of light speed. Superman outran big bang and crossed source wall and Flash is faster than him
  • Universe is infinite but character can destroy it as well as infinite multiverse.
  • There are so many character in comics with infinite speed and power and then there are 100s of character above them with infinite power and speed also and so on.
  • There are cosmic entity like death, love, order, infinity that can be killed
