Diana has some pretty good travel speed, but not really sustained travel
and with her actually shown to physically move faster than bullets(QS never did, just saw one once while failing to move at all) I would back her in a 100 m dash
Diana has never perceived a bullet the way Quicksilver did in the Avengers tower. Nor has she ever ran as fast as Quicksilver does.
To be fair, the only bullets we've ever seen Diana perceive from her perspective are mach 2+ bullets. The bullet that Quicksilver perceived was what? About Mach 0.9 and would have probably been going slower by the time it got into his sight since it had to pass through glass.
This is true and takes away from Quicksilver's feat to an extent. But he actually perceived his bullet in slow motion while he was in real time. Diana on the other hand was in slow motion and was moving far slower than the bullet.
Not here she wasn't. That bullet is between Mach 1.6 - 2.3. In any case, faster than the bullet QS perceived by a good margin.
Diana obviously pericieves bullets in slow mo considering she was dancing around delfecting shots from an assault riffle for over 10 seconds straight, precisely enough to save a group of civilians.
Why would that mean that she perceives them in slow motion?
It being an automatic rifle doesn't mean nearly as much as many think. Said riffles tend to fire at a rate of around 10-15 bullets per second. For comparison the bullet travels thousands of feet per second and would cover that distance in less than a hundredth of a second. Essentially anyone who is able to block bullets of that speed from that distance shouldn't have too much of a problem with the rate of fire. If you could somehow slow down time to where you could actually see the bullets as automatic firearms fire, than there would be long pauses between each bullet.
There really is nothing to indicate that she is perceiving bullets in slow motion or outpacing them. Infact they clearly show the comparison between a bullet and Diana on multiple occasions and the bullet is always going faster.
In both of the above scenes she is clearly moving slower than the bullets.
The only occasion where she has actually matched a bullet in speed is here.
And the bullet traveled a vast distance before it reached her decreasing it's speed.
I'd personally argue that Diana is very gifted at blocking bullets which shows off her skill. But you don't have to be faster than something to block it after it's fired. At least not unless you have to travel a farther distance to intercept it than it has to travel to reach the area where you intercept it. Diana for each bullet is moving her arms maybe a foot or 2. The bullet on the other hand is moving like 10 feet. I just don't see what about this feat would make it to where she's faster than bullets in any way.
This is a stance I take with all timing feats. You aren't faster than something because you block it unless you have to travel a farther distance to where you will block it than it will.
Did Pietro outpspeed a bullet by your definition, ever?
No. I never said that he outspeed a bullet. I simply denied the idea that Diana has ever done so when she clearly has not. Infact we we see her scenes slowed down it's clear that the bullets are moving faster than her.
For Quicksilver I said that he perceived a bullet in slow motion while he was in real time. Which is true and would indicate that he can outspeed a bullet if he her focused on doing so.
Still seems pretty clear to me that the bullet is moving faster than her. She moves her body and torso a foot or so and the bullet moves a few feet. This is one of her faster scenes but I don't think that shes actually moving faster than the bullet at all.
Quicksilver is actually perceiving the bullet in slow motion while he's in real time.
I want to make a comparison. Lets even assume for a second that Diana is perceiving bullets the way they are slowed down for us and that this is her version of real time. That would mean in her time that a mach 1.6-2.3 bullet travels a number of feet in a second or so. You can count on the video if you want. We see it passing by her at the end of second 2:24 and it reached the wall at 2:25. It's about 1 second for it to cover that entire distance from when we see it near her to the wall.
Here.
Compare that to Quicksilver who's mach 0.9 bullet traveled merely a matter of inches over several seconds.
The disparity is very significant. Quicksilver is dealing with a significantly slower bullet but Diana's traveled a massively farther distance compared to her. The only problem for Quicksilver is that we don't see him actually moving his arms or body around in comparison to his. But judging by his expressions I would assume this is the speed at which he would move like a regular human.
@amcu: that's literally the first thing she did when she discovered bullets on the island
Personally this isn't what I would call outpacing a bullet, matching a bullet, or perceiving a bullet in slow motion.
A very impressive speed showing no doubt. But she's clearly moving slower than the bullet. And she's clearly in slow motion.
