Line 99:
* The [[Flash]] does this often. As well, of course, as any other superhero whose primary power is teleportation or super-speed.
** Barry Allen, the second flash, took this to it's logical conclusion when as a bunch of soldiers fired their weapons at him he began moving so quickly it appeared from his perspective that [[Beyond the Impossible|time had stopped]], giving him a enough time to casually walk up and examine his friend's face and have a long internal monologue while a volley of assault rifle fire was in mid-flight. [[Worf Effect|And yet somehow he can be beaten by other characters when he shows up in a guest-starring position.]]
* The title character in ''[[Elf Quest]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115135312/http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/JK/JK01/DisplayJK01.html Jink]'' has this as her stock superpower. As well as moving very fast herself, it seems she can also use rapid movement to [http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/JK/JK02/DisplayJK02.html?page=22 strip other people naked] if she's feeling frisky.
* [[Daredevil]] does this under writers who remember that he's supposed to be a [[Dodge the Bullet|bullet timer]]. In one of the more memorable examples he feels a sniper's laser marker on his forehead and literally vanishes in thin air, while the sniper is staring down the scope straight at him.
** Black Widow does the same thing immediately after DD does it, and then proceeds to punch a guy in the face while nearly out-running a bullet shot from a pistol. Though she crossed the distance nearly instantly, she wasn't actually able to dodge the bullet itself, implying while she ''is'' absurdly fast, her reflexes have limits.
