Terminator and Kid Flash

[Savitar]

Technically, this occurred to Wally but since it involves Kid Flash and the Titans, I decided to put it here.

I was reading New Teen Titans #2 (Wolfman & Perez), the first appearance of Deathstroke, where Slade makes quite the remarkable comment.

In telling Grant, his son, about their shared abilties, Slade says that their reflexes are so fast, they can keep up with Kid Flash. While saying this, Slade tosses his bo staff to trip up Wally.

Really? This is the first I've heard of this.

Thoughts?

I think it's a little silly, but then so was Deathstroke whupping the Justice League in Identity Crisis, and he clearly had amazing speed and reaction time there.

Every so often a villain will seem to catch a speedster napping -- during Johns' first run on the Flash, the Top caught Wally flat-footed repeatedly. While he does have some super-speed (he must in order to do the stuff he does), I question him being as fast as Wally. I guess it's possible he took Wally by surprise. Might have been the same situation with Deathstroke too.
