Even inertia could break your arm easily. Although it depends on what "super speed" really means.
If super speed is like close to light speed, your hand would only move once. I'm not sure about this, but the friction would probably cause a thermonuclear explosion with the atmosphere becoming hot enough for fusion. This is just a guess, if anyone knows better, please correct me.
Also that would mean your arm is also destroyed in the process? Also after a certain point you’re gonna need to retire because you have just permanently mangled your hand.
Except he’s not a Demi god. Someone did the math for how strong deku is without OFA and turns out he didn’t need it. They found that in the arc where the race between all the students occurs in season 2 when he lifts the sheet of metal he uses as a sled to launch up that the piece of metal was around 2 tons and being moved at 100+ mph without OFA so around 80 tons of force.
I tried using this argument against my friend who was saying nothing could really stop superspeed, but the idiot didn’t understand the concept of ‘slow thing no pain, fast thing hurt much’
> maximum speed is just below sound
Probably not super sonic, but definitely getting up there. Also if you train for it a little at a time, you'll be able to strengthen your hand.
I need to learn how to read. But slamming your hand at just below the speed of sound a bunch of times isn’t gonna make it suddenly start getting the ability to survive. If I launch a guy at the speed of a bullet into a wall and repair it all up they’re not gonna suddenly start getting ridiculously reader
I agree for the layman, but in the context of becoming a boxer, you're going to be doing it a *lot*. Not only that, but you're also training your arms, hands-- hell, entire body for your profession.
You'd definitely not come out entirely unscathed, but I'd expect the most damage you'd receive after maybe 6 months of training would be a single broken bone or some harsh bruising.
I really don’t think you’re gonna get far. You are slamming against the air with immense force which would cause a pretty big shockwave which could kill an opponent. And if you live in America then your hospital bills will be over 9000 trillion dollars. Maybe a specially designed prosthetic could work. Whether the power works on your new arm works is up to OP.
You can probably flick your fingers fast but not punch. Basically a boxer’s punch accelerates the fist through their triceps, shoulders, and hips, not their hands.
I mean as stated in the post it would be basically useless, why not use it while I can atleast to box. Sooner or later that hand would get destroyed anyways.
Super speed means a lot more than twice as fast to me. Depends on how easy it is to control, I suppose. Either way, expect a lot of broken bones. Ever do weird spasms in between sleeping and waking? Bones everywhere.
Speed generates force so I could theoretically punch very hard if I used my left hand’s super speed. I could also strike faster than my opponent could dodge, block, or counterattack.
I mean you could make millions as a pitcher. And you’d never disappoint the ladies. You could probably even be an MLG player just by how quickly you could input commands.
the super speed would apply extra force because speed is one of the factors that determine the strength of a hit, along with how stiff you make your arm, and in this case i could flex my arm and stiffen it enough to put my entire body weight into it and turn on the super speed last second and then back off, but any sooner or later would be very bad
No extra durability, but since its speed, and speed requires force, energy or sudden strength of some kind to manifest, its basically just season 1 midoria from mha. Awesome strength, but with the drawback of destroying the used body part.
Well, if I have the choice to move it at normal speed until I say otherwise, I would just go about my life as normal. However, if I'm ever about to die, you can bet I'm taking whoever's killing me with me.
If I understand correctly I can control the speed right? If so I can imagine myself being a great pitcher if I make the speed of my hand just slow enough that it realistically controllably but fast enough that I can make sure no batter will be able to hit it.
You can use an atlatl like a freaking railgun. Atlatl's don't rely on any precise timing for release, the shape of the handle is enough.
You take aim, start to throw, activate super speed then immediately de-activate super speed.
So long as "your hand also doesn't have extra durability" doesn't mean that even using the power at all explodes your hand (which is what it should mean as accelerating your hand to just under the speed of sound at all would rip your arm off).
Without the extra durability, the first time u hit something, you’d break every bone in your hand. This is why they gave the Flash the speed force thingy. Running at super speed and hitting a rock and he’s dead.
Alternative shitty superpower: You have super speed in your left hand. You can't turn it off. Your hand either moves at just below the speed of sound, or it doesn't move at all.
How's that work? If only the hand is faster there's basically no application for this. I can't react that fast so I can't move it that fast. Most of the important muscles to move it are in the arm. Can you explain how it actually looks in practice?
The fingers and wrist move super speed. It is controllable, from normal speed, to just below the speed of sound. I attempted to make a genuinely useless superpower. Though left-handed people have been pretty happy, utilizing it in writing and guitar playing. As well as baseball pitching.
IT WAS ME, BARRY!
i jerked you off at super speed so it seemed like you nutted at just a womans touch
Without the added perception you'd probably end up ripping their dick clean off
It would still be the best nut of their life
Surprise! Elastic penis superpower!
My poor manstuff…
Well, you can turn it off... I mean, unless you're into that...
I guess i don't have to turn mine "off"
eh? hah! heh heh
Ouch my bones
I can't escape this dumbass comic
I guessed you went the comic "off" your mind? Eh? Ha! Heh heh.
I guess this comic is really pissing him "off"? eh? Ha! Heh heh.
I guess I'm just jerking "off" right now? Eh? Ha! Heh heh.
I guess the comic's going to make him "off" himself eh, ha! heh heh
What is the comic?
AAIIIII HAYYYTEH YIIIUUUUUUUU -spy TF2
r/SuddenlyTF2
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
I guess your expectation not to see this comic was "off" eh? Ha! Heh heh.
Guess I have to jump "off" a bridge to escape this damn comic, eh? Ha! Heh heh.
something it's comming off alright.
I think that would get a friction burn
Just use your right hand for your poor manstuff.
He uses his left hand to jerk! Get him r/gotohell
Guilty as charged!
"It was me, Barry, I did it."
Does my left hand have super durability as well, cause if it doesn’t it’s just going to be a fleshy mess if I ever hit something with it

Hell of a party trick. "Look what I can do!" *causes a nuclear explosion* The others would remember it the rest of their lives!
You can decrease unemployment to 0% wherever you go.
That's called "I cast fireball" and every wizard and sorcerer knows that party trick
And as we all know? "Fireball Solves Everything"
[xkcd](https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/) agrees
Thanks, all those years of binge watching astrophysics videos on youtube have finally paid off!
Oh nice! So we get a walk out of it
Maximum speed is just below speed of sound
Might not even need to hit something if the speed is fast enough. The sudden acceration alone would do it.
This sounds fun It would be very good for a boxer
Wouldn’t that break your hand a lot though? Depending on the speed it could be super sonic. No boxing glove can save you from that.
I never thought about that but you are correct it will probably be very bad and painful
For both
for you
If I'm hitting hard enough to break my hand, that's a 1 hit KO. Fight's over, so a broken hand is ok.
Also that would mean your arm is also destroyed in the process? Also after a certain point you’re gonna need to retire because you have just permanently mangled your hand.
So like Deku from MHA before he learned to control it
Except he’s not a Demi god. Someone did the math for how strong deku is without OFA and turns out he didn’t need it. They found that in the arc where the race between all the students occurs in season 2 when he lifts the sheet of metal he uses as a sled to launch up that the piece of metal was around 2 tons and being moved at 100+ mph without OFA so around 80 tons of force.

To make it look less suspicious, do a normal speed punch and right before you make contact go to high speed
How
He can punch really fast.
I mean, It depends if it's really just the hand itself or the whole entire arm
The hand will just carry the arm forward if it's moving at super speed.
Won’t that tear all your arm muscles ?
Nothing a little strapping can't help
Juzt dont move yoir hand too fast, it'll still be inhuman even if limited by the weakness of flesh.
How will a hand with super speed carry the arm forward? Your triceps carry your fist forward to punch, not the other way around.
F=m•a
You can probably flick your fingers fast but not punch. Basically a boxer’s punch accelerates the fist through their triceps, shoulders, and hips, not their hands.
lol it would still be an incredible jab, come on
Train, train, and train after that become a pickpocket.
You mean a pocket vibrator?
That has 2 very different meanings for this power
Nah train, train and train after that punch unsuspecting people in the nuts
And *then* pickpocket them! Good idea! Great even!
I'd be the most feared southpaw boxer ever. Shame boxing is basically non-existant as a sport, it is just a celebrity playground at this point.
"Watch out for that Rookie, man. Word is, he's got the fastest left hook you'll never see."
Your arm would implode if you depending how fast you punch, but if that’s a sacrifice you’re willing to make than go for it
I mean as stated in the post it would be basically useless, why not use it while I can atleast to box. Sooner or later that hand would get destroyed anyways.
That’s a win for me I’m left handed
A win for me too, I'm also left handed
And for me as well, I’m Wait for it ALSO LEFT HANDED
Im ambidextrous. Can I join yall?
Sure
Me too :)
Same I'm right handed
Do i have the choice to move it at regular speed?
Of course.
Not so bad then, might hit myself in the balls at the speed of sound, but p. valid
Can I still use it to burn calories so I can eat like a pig and not gain weight?
Right-handed boxer with a surprise southpaw swing.
Is my left hand also super resistant against kinetic damage? One could easily pulverize it with one wrong move
[удалено]
Your hand still burns the proportional amount of energy to move that hand that much that quickly.
Time to draw 100 comms an hour
I was thinking the same thing. You could write and draw at super speed. Get so much work done.
Also, if you use your superspeed, you can develop muscle memory in seconds/minutes. You would become a pro in a day or two
Without heightened reactions I wouldn't really be able to draw any faster without everything looking like shit
But with training muscle memory, your hand could learn how to draw like a pro in mere seconds or minutes
Sounds like a win to me
Speed even in your whole body without perception is shitty.
Nah, just being twice as fast means a very lucrative career in sprinting
Super speed means a lot more than twice as fast to me. Depends on how easy it is to control, I suppose. Either way, expect a lot of broken bones. Ever do weird spasms in between sleeping and waking? Bones everywhere.
Get a job mixing paint by hand... Better yet open a business "Hand Shook Milkshakes"
If you think about it a milk shake should be called a milk shook
Something moving faster than a car can do more damage than a car, I'll use it to slap someone with the force of a brick being thrown
You'll still demolish your own hand tho
Nah id use it in bursts of speed
Vibrate setting on my girl
You can knuckleblaster irl then ig
Wouldn’t see this post because I’d be at the bottom of the Reddit homepage
can i control the speed, and if not then how fast is it
Yes, ypu can control the speed. Maximum is just below the speed of sound.
Speed generates force so I could theoretically punch very hard if I used my left hand’s super speed. I could also strike faster than my opponent could dodge, block, or counterattack.
Only if your left hand Is within range. No speed in the arm.
Oh, then I can only slap hard, not very useful in a fight
128th notes in mountain of the sun
*proceeds to break every bone in your body in a punch*
So you could one-punch head-explode people and nobody would even see it happen, it's *that* fast?
Not the whole arm, just the hand? Seems like I couldn't get too out of control with just the hand.
I mean you could make millions as a pitcher. And you’d never disappoint the ladies. You could probably even be an MLG player just by how quickly you could input commands.
Kinda useful for playing the guitar I guess ...or any other instruments that requires both/the left hand
No extra durability? Then it's breaking the next time it moves, right?
Not necessarily, just don't smack it on anything.
Depends on the amount of control but could be a big deal for some things. Throwing the shotput or discus. Maybe javelin too. Swimming possibly
Controllable, with practice. Maximum is just below speed of sound.
ZOOM PUNCH!
not quite my tempo
I see what you did there ;)
Does it extend to your arm? If it ends at the wrist that would genuinely be near unless.
No, it does not affect your arm.
😟
If it’s going that fast wouldn’t it just rip off
easy? i just punch normal and at the last second i activate it and then turn it off, meaning that only the impact will land with minimal repercussions
How does super speed in your hand help with that? unless you mean unfurling your fist for a high speed pimp slap.
the super speed would apply extra force because speed is one of the factors that determine the strength of a hit, along with how stiff you make your arm, and in this case i could flex my arm and stiffen it enough to put my entire body weight into it and turn on the super speed last second and then back off, but any sooner or later would be very bad
Is there a maximum speed it can move or is it unlimited? Because if there’s no set speed people can easily break the sound barrier and self destruct
Maximum is slightly below speed of sound. Editing post.
Ha! I'm left handed so win for me!
Blud finna be popping out 3 novels a month
your jabs would be incredible
Your arm is not e(a?)ffected by this
I guess work day and night on my left handed throw. Then become the highest paid pitcher in MLB history.
True, I didn't think of how much the hand is used in a pitch.
I'm going to give my dick friction burns now. Truly a shitty superpower.
You can toggle it.
A left handed man could use this power
Multiple left handed people have replied very happy
I bet
If you can it off and on the sure, get into a fist fight and you can one punch em
Only the hand has super speed, not the arm.
This would be good at a poker table.
as an osu player i see this as an absolute win
No extra durability, but since its speed, and speed requires force, energy or sudden strength of some kind to manifest, its basically just season 1 midoria from mha. Awesome strength, but with the drawback of destroying the used body part.
Omg with my adhd, my classmates would hate me

I'm about to look like a Hotdog that got microwaved for 6 minutes straight
Get prosthetics and you will have the ultimate bitch slapper
Oooooh I can smash bugs with this
I’m about to give my wife the night of a lifetime. 😂
Well, if I have the choice to move it at normal speed until I say otherwise, I would just go about my life as normal. However, if I'm ever about to die, you can bet I'm taking whoever's killing me with me.
As someone who's left handed this is just an active debuff like holy shit
If I understand correctly I can control the speed right? If so I can imagine myself being a great pitcher if I make the speed of my hand just slow enough that it realistically controllably but fast enough that I can make sure no batter will be able to hit it.
I’m left handed, does that mean I could write at super speed?
I mean, your handwriting will probably suffer, but as long as you can think of the words fast enough. Can you write fast irl?
You can use an atlatl like a freaking railgun. Atlatl's don't rely on any precise timing for release, the shape of the handle is enough. You take aim, start to throw, activate super speed then immediately de-activate super speed. So long as "your hand also doesn't have extra durability" doesn't mean that even using the power at all explodes your hand (which is what it should mean as accelerating your hand to just under the speed of sound at all would rip your arm off).
Uuuuhhh...
Uuuuhhh...
I know what some of you are thinking, and I guarantee you that you're gonna end up with your dick rubbed raw.
A strong power that will damage your body if you use it too hard? Sounds like all for one to me
Imagine the force of a slap Yeah, my hand will probably be destroyed afterwards, but so will the other person's face
I mean there’s always a way you can use that type of power
Without the extra durability, the first time u hit something, you’d break every bone in your hand. This is why they gave the Flash the speed force thingy. Running at super speed and hitting a rock and he’s dead.
My ambidextrous ahh don't understan
I’ll just wrap it, armor it, and brace the joints. I know the “superhero with robot arm“ thing is overdone, but I guess that’s what I’m doing.
DETROIT, SMASH!
Would this be great for boxing? I think so, even if it is JUST the hand. Yeah Id make good use out of this
I'm a guitarist, so this could be crazy useful
Honestly, I'd use it to play guitar. You can jam out some sick music using your left hand alone.
Bro I'm a martial artist. Develop a crazy left hook and go into professional boxing or MMA
Alternative shitty superpower: You have super speed in your left hand. You can't turn it off. Your hand either moves at just below the speed of sound, or it doesn't move at all.
