Curious as to why people hold KC Supes in such high esteem. I've read everything he's ever appeared in, and I never got the impression that he could handle a match like this.
It's the speed and durability. He literally, completely ignored a punch from Hercules, who can send Superman flying, without flinching. He is a lot stronger than Supes and a lot more durable. But the danger comes from the claim that he is as fast as Wally.
His showing in Thy Kingdom Come was indeed his most impressive. However, its still not that good. The hercules showing is often bandied about, but its insufficient, especially as the strike where he "sent superman flying" was through a low-impact cheapshot.
An offhand statement by Jay isn't enough to put KC Superman at Wally's level of speed. Just look at his fight with Gog in that same issue. Gog was tagging him like a chump the whole time, whereas he had a much harder go of it with speedsters (although he hit them too). KC Supes has shown nothing spectacular in terms of combat speed. Overall, the best speed feat he has is overwhelming Jay in travel speed.
I'm not even going to bring up the pathetic Convergence showing, either.
