* Rock Lee from ''[[Naruto]]'' tries this on Gaara during the Chunin exams. It only fails due to Gaara being [[Nigh Invulnerable]] compared to the other entrants.
Line 39:
** And Thor. He once shut down [[Quicksilver]] in a heartbeat when the speedster got a little too cocky.
* Quicksilver in ''[[The Ultimates]]'' was infamous for claiming he saves all his teammates' lives multiple times without them seeing it. They assume he's lying. However we see it first hand when he takes down Hurricane. The fight starts as Hawkeye is knocked over and ends ''before he hits the ground.'' Naturally he complains that Quicksilver should have done something to help.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Doug Sangnoir of ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]'' can "combat hype", during which he is several times faster than a normal human. Even without hyping he is occasionally described as moving so fast he seems to blur. If events in ''Drunkard's Walk II'' are any indication, this is a trope shared by almost all of the Warriors (the super-team of which he is a member), among whom Doug is merely mid-level in speed. (This is a result of expressing the ''[[Villains and Vigilantes]]'' combat and initiative system in "real world" terms.)

* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20130602214805/http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_46/ this] ''Ask [[Axe Cop]]'' comic, Axe Cop explains how he became the world's fastest chopper by [[Caffeine Bullet Time|downing a can of Red Bull]] [[Off with His Head|and decapitating 1,000 bad guys]] [[Single-Stroke Battle|at once.]]
* Bro Strider in ''[[Homestuck]]'' can move so fast that he can and does fight by using [[Creepy Doll|Lil' Cal]], essentially fighting using ''real time stop motion''.
** {{spoiler|Dirk can too.}} Dave on the other hand is a [[Time Master]] and uses it to make his [[Flash Step]] seem faster, though he's genuinely pretty quick himself.
