Shouldn't characters that have superstrength also possess superspeed due to their superhuman muscles?

Jordan Williams
Y’know, I betcha at some point, they’re gonna make the Flash like the ninjas from MK. Just the same character with a different color.
Joshua Morgan
No ever points out that super strength is like 5 powers in one
Ayden Allen
probably
Chase Reed
they already did
Luis Collins
well most of them do but that's like saying Eddie Hall should be able to run super fast cause he can he has super strong muscles strength doesn't equal speed
Jeremiah Campbell
Not because of muscles. If anything it'd be because of power so that they can propel themselves better with it. And then you'll need to give them heightened senses and reaction speed so they don't run into everything.
David Russell
Does having superspeed mean that they're super strong?
Jeremiah Garcia
No, but speed does equal greater force. Their speed can chip away or even obliterate things if they're going fast enough. However this also forces durability to be taken into account as going that fast and striking something would more than likely break/shatter arms/limbs completely without substantial durability.
James Davis
That sounds pretty cool
Parker Adams
Do you think bodybuilders or strength lifters are super fast because they have big, powerful muscles?
James James
>However this also forces durability to be taken into account as going that fast and striking something would more than likely break/shatter arms/limbs completely without substantial durability.
Or like the Flash and Superman, you have a protective aura.
Gavin Parker
Its not
Jeremiah Lopez
why not?
Landon Morgan
It's how his gf died.
Brayden Long
Depends on the speed mechanic, but typically no, most speedsters aren't fast because their legs are super strong
Technically the inverse is true--anyone with super strength should also technically have super speed
this basically
strength, invulnerability, high defense, super jumps, super speed, etc etc
Luke Walker
The Hulk is already fast, but he usually travels quickly and over long distances by jumping instead.
Ryder Foster
Something something Speed Force, ain't gotta explain shit.
Oliver Cooper
Nah, i like that a character is strong and durable but not be fast or jump good.
Easton Howard
>jump good
Kevin Moore
not really. They don't have the reflexes to actually go at super speed safely.
Alexander Jenkins
I've seen a few things tinker with that idea. Deku from My Hero Academia is basically "What if super strong but not invulnerable", and I remember some x-men novel I read one time had a bunch of mutants who got screwed over that way.
Jack Diaz
Ang Lee Hulk was pretty accurate to what OP is saying
>Super strong
>Super fast
>Able to leap for miles at a time
>Nearly impervious
Charles Robinson
Sure
Jose Scott
They do though, at least Supes, WW, Aquaman, and others with super strength do, they are crazy fast. Superman is fast enough to make people believe he can go toe to toe with Flash in a charity race.
Of course Flash is speed itself, no ammount of muscle that reach that speed, it's magic.
Ethan Peterson
Yes, to a degree.
I mean Hulk for example is actually quite fast. His jumps and lunges can get him from point A to point B faster than a lot of ground-bound characters.
But the thing is REAL speedsters usually have some explicit ability to tell physics to fuck off and break limitations in speed.
Isaiah Jackson
More importantly it's the only movie to cover his healing factor, even though it was done subtly.
Isaiah Morgan
Mark Waid tried to get into this on his Indestructible Hulk run, making him a green blur several times.
Too bad the run was mediocre.
Adrian Gomez
>this basically
>strength, invulnerability, high defense, super jumps, super speed, etc etc
I can't remember the issue but there was this one Dial H for Hero (I'm pretty sure) where the guy got super strength but NOT invulnerability. And he ends up getting railed by like a car or truck. Just FUCKED UP.
Isaac Murphy
Doesn’t he have like 8 powers now
Jace Smith
You realize that having strong leg muscles doesn't actually make you run that much faster, right?
