DCEU: Speed feats with heat vision

Introduction

Hello. In this blog I will calculate all the speed feats involving the heat vision in DCEU

Feats

• Cyborg reacts to a heat vision
• Wonder Woman reacts to a heat vision
• Wonder Woman reacts to a heat vision at point blank range

Honorable Mentions

Feats that are not possible to calculate

• Wonder Woman reacts during a fight agaisnt Doomsday

Why the Heat Vision is lightspeed

The official BvS guidebook describes the heat vision as a "beam of red light" and in the Justice League movie, it's explicitly showed that the heat vision beam is reflected by hitting a reflective surface, just like a beam of light would do. So:

The guide describes the beam as light, twice

• It is described as light by a guide
• Reflects on surfaces that a light should reflect
• Every single time we saw the heat vision being used, it was shot in a straight line

Wonder Woman's feat

Just to clarify the feat

Here she comes

Here she arrived

Here the beam arrived

In this painel, we can calc the distance

• Screen: 592px
• Batman: 47px = 1.92 meters (Ben Affleck height)

He was sitting, I will consider only 1 meter

• 2atan(tan(70/2)*(47/592))
• 4.30856457 degree
• 13.292 meters moved by the beam

• Time: 0.0000000443

• Gal Gadot: 1.78 meters= 340px
• Distance: 204px = 1.068 meters

• Speed: 24.108.352,144469 m/s or Mach 70.906 (8% of SoL)

That would be the minimum to consider, since she moved this distance when the laser was very close. However, it is impossible to calculate

Cyborg's feat

We will use this painel

• Superman: 260px = 1.85 meters
• Screen: 700px

Now the distance

• 2atan(tan(70/2)*(260/700))
• 19.9623609 degree
• 5.256 meters

• Time: 0.0000000175s

• Cyborg: 910px = 1.91 meters
• Arm: 177px + 77px = 0.53 meters

Using this calculator, I got 0.416261 meters

• Speed: 23.786.342,857142 m/s or Mach 69.959,8 (7.9% of SoL)

Wonder Woman's second feat

Firts, find Doomsday's head size

• Superman: 60px = 1.85 meters
• Doomsday's head: 16px = 0.50 meters

Now, other painel

• Doomsday's head: 124px = 0.50 meters
• Screen: 530px
• WW's head: 120px = 0.20 meters

Dooms-Screen

• 2atan(tan(70/2)*(124/530))
• 12.6513658 degree
• 2.2552 meters

WW-Screen

• 2atan(tan(70/2)*(120/530))
• 12.2464085 degree
• 0.93215 meters

Total: 1.32305 meters

• Time: 0.0000000044s

• Wonder Woman: 2301px = 1.78 meters
• Arm: 777px = 0.60 meters

Using this calculator, I got 0.314159 meters

• Speed: 71.399.772,727272 m/s or Mach 209.999,33 (23% of SoL)

Results

• Wonder Woman saves Batman: 8% of lightspeed - Sub-Relativistic
• Cyborg react to a heat vision: 7.9% of lightspeed - Sub-Relativistic
• Wonder Woman Vs. Doomsday: 23% of lightspeed - Relativistic combat speed with Relativistic+ reaction speed
