  • Regarding the Thor, Wolverine and reaction speed discussion... In the Marvel handbooks it has been listed that the majority of superhumans have "instantaneous reflexes". Is it safe to say that while Thor and Silver Surfer might not be able to run fast or move their limbs fast in general, they still perceive everything instantly and are therefore capable of tagging much faster opponents? Which would explain why the Hulk can hit the Sentry / Gladiator every now and then...
