What are the most impressive non-scaling based feats that you've seen?

To clarify, "Non-Scaling" means that the feat doesn't require any context provided by another character's power in order to apreciate. So nothing like "This character blitzed that other character who is confirmed to have lightspeed reaction times" or "That punch staggered someone who took a nuke to the face without a problem"

However, if the feat is interupting someone who's actively doing something impressive then it will be elligible. For example "This character is actively dodging machine gun fire and that character walls up to them like they're a statue"

Justice League Elite - the Flash being in two places at once thousands of miles separate, looking at himself through a magical portal connecting the two places. Approximate 3' distance between himself and himself.

Works out to a few million times the speed of light as I recall, assuming he isn't actually in two places at exactly the same time.

Edit: worked it out again, it’s ~2.3 million times the speed of light.

Another Flash Feat, him evacuating a city of millions in the seconds between a nuclear explosion beginning and before it destroys said city.

During the DC one Million storyline, Flash actually beat himself in a race.

Good speed feats, anyone have anything for Strength or Durability?

At one point, Juggernaut got boosted higher up and reached the point where he was physically punches through reality.

There's always the business of Dr. Strange sitting in front of a supernova having created shields out of the Crimson Bands to protect his body. He was in Astral form at the time, which explicitly makes his spells weaker.

The shields held up just fine.

So while it's not the best possible durability feat, it's a little tricky to beat 'endures a point-blank supernova while not at their best' without getting into stuff based on other people's abilities. We don't have a whole lot floating around out there that's better than a supernova.

PC Superman towing a chain of planets around and destroying a solar system with a sneeze is probably up there.

DC One Million had some great ones. There's Flash beating himself in a race, as noted above, and Kyle Rayner holding down a supernova. Even Superman 1M was impressed at the willpower.

All Star Superman casually holding up a few quintillion tons with one hand was a good one, as was Nu52 Superman bench pressing the weight of the earth after days under a red sun.

My favourite Flash feat, by absorbing the speed of everyone on Earth, he moved so fast that he beat beings whose travel time was stated to be "instantaneous". This was in The Human Race.

Superboy Primes Retcon punch:



Or Wonder Woman's bracelets Big Bang that even without the scaling of having erased the Anti-Life Equation speaks for itself by recreating the universe:

[Beadle]

I know he’s ludicrously high-tier anyway, but didn’t Lucifer just eat a big bang happening right in front of him?

[Beadle]

There’s also Thanos’ lolnoping all those bizarre transdimensional reality transmutational effects happening to him, simply because **** You, I’m Thanos.

DC One Million reminder, thank you greatmetropolitan.

Superman 1 Million holds off an incoming galaxy with his Eyebeams of Whatever™ on the dregs of his power, as I recall.

Cosmic stuff?

Molecule Man hits the Beyonder with blasts that - according to the Beyonder (who, admittedly, is not the most reliable of narrators) - would have destroyed 'several billion entire dimensions' <-- direct quote. This works for both 'attack power' and 'durability' (if we can say that about this sort of thing), given the Beyonder basically endures it with a couple of coughs.

.....

The fact that this thread is getting me to pull out stuff from Secret Wars II means it has already failed. :(

White Queen destroying the entire universe in a Plank second before remaking a new one in the next 5 seconds


Even when she was caught off guard, that cute last boss was so perfect that she made sure just collapsing forward was enough to destroy the world.

When that white light was carelessly unleashed, it blew away the current universe in 10^-44 seconds. And just 5 seconds after that, the spatial world formed from matter and antimatter cooled enough to create countless particles that acted as the cores of atoms.

^ speed was calc’d at 150 Novemdecillion times the speed of light as a LOW-BALL

[Postmania]

There's probably some comic panel where someone is actively destroying multiple dimensions like that Beyonder thing above.
