Setting:
In space near the sun due to Apollo needing it.
lets say Adam injured Midnighter. This pissed off Apollo. Apollo took him to the sun and they begin to fight.
Black Adam vs Apollo

Can Apollo match BA speed wise? even when sun dipped?
Im going for BA here via K.O
In all honesty, I don't even think Apollo has real combat super speed. He can fly really fast, and I think his reflexes are enhanced, but I haven't seen anything to indicate he has greater than human speed beyond those two. Although I've only read the first 3 or 4 TPBs of THE AUTHORITY maybe 4 specials(the first KEV special, the special with Planetary, and the two Lobo one-shots), and none of the second volume. So maybe it was established that he has real combat super speed after the first 20 or so issues.
considering Black Adam is essentially a Superman level threat ( at least physically ) I think that alone gives him a slight edge over Apollo... speed wise it's possible Apollo and Black Adam are not that far off... then again Black Adam was battling Flash ( Jay Garrick ) at super speeds... so maybe he might have an edge there as well.

Are you talking about Black Adam having a slight edge in the OP's scenario, or when Apollo's at his normal levels? 'Cuz if you mean under normal levels, you're wrong, Apollo is well below Black Adam. But as I said shortly before your post, I don't think Apollo even has real combat super speed, but I could be wrong.
Currently Apollo doesn't have an impressive track record from his Stormwatch time where he is barely able to handle Atrocious in a brawl, Black Adam on the other hand has just appeared again so has no feats at all in the New 52. Pre-Flashpoint however I know just about nothing about Apollo and only that Adam floored most of DC Earth's heroes at one point (with some jobbing involved).
Black Adam hardly has any real Speed Feats to say he is well above Apollo... Apollo can move at Supersonic Speeds... and so can Black Adam so I don't understand what you are talking about here.@King Saturn said:

Well,I wouldnt say this guy would be able to handle my boy BA..Wats to say?BA stomps his head into his belly button......

It's an Egyptian Black Adam. That is a more accurate representation of how he would actually look than the usual images.

I think Black Adam made a statement that implied him and Captain Marvel usually fight at super speed, that when Billy was power-sharing, he looked slow to Adam, and to my knowledge, Apollo doesn't even have real combat super speed. Flying super sonic doesn't matter, and I think Black Adam's exceeded that by a lot anyways. But I was talking about physically. Under the OP's scenario, Apollo's amped making things more even, but under normal circumstances, Black Adam's well above Apollo.
@ShadowKing said:
@Delta1938: Are you sure you are right?
Yep.
But Again, what is the evidence that when Black Adam and Captain Marvel was fighting then they was moving at speeds beyond what Apollo could possibly do ? Now I agree that Black Adam is physically greater than Apollo... I had been said that already... my issue is the speed... and it's not like Black Adam always fights at some incredible speed anyways... I mean for the most part in World War 3, Black Adam was tearing through his opposition moving at normal speeds... but that was an high end example of Black Adam's Strength and Durability, not his Speed so much. Though I would not be surprised if Black Adam was faster than Apollo, just not magnitudes faster in volume.@King Saturn said:

Do YOU have any examples that Apollo has actual combat super speed? Or is this an assumption because he's a Superman knock-off? Honest question.

Oh. Got ya. I thought you were complaining.

@TheSwordsman: Egyptians do think of themselves as white but just from Africa. You can still call him the white dude and be right.
Umm. No. They Don't. Do you even know any Egyptians? I doubt it because you are simply making things up. Egyptians' hues varies from beige to dark brown. And, no, calling an Egyptian a white person would be correct whatsoever.
@TheSwordsman: this didnt go through the first time
Umm...yes they do. Have you ever been to Africa? Ask a African. Its like people from Spain. They speak spanish. They colonized much of the latin america but they consider themselves white. Its not incorrect cuz I have spent time in Africa. You cant put down beige as an ethnicity. Egyptian is their heritage. African is their continental nationality. Egyptian the more specific nationality...like a person from California is in the United States. From experience, Egyptians consider themselves white cuz they sure dont consider themselves black, asian or hispanic....which is why they consider themselves white
And I have been to three countries in western africa, one in eastern africa...the more stable region and Egypt so I am speaking from experience

Your last statement is neither relevant to your first nor does it make any real sense. First you make a false statement that Egyptians consider themselves as white. They do not. I know because I have actual Egyptian friends. Now you try to convolute your argument by pretending that you were referring to nationality only and not pigment. You seem completely unreasonable. Goodbye.
@TheSwordsman: what does your friend put down? He is darker to true Caucasians but in Africa they are the white folk and even they are darker then say the South Africans, there is no denomination setting for being tan. Dont try to know how the owrld works cuz you know one family of Egyptian. Its like baseball, David Ortiz is darker toned latino while alex rodriguqez is a lighter latino. they are both latino and since there are only 5 main categories (white, black, hispanic, asian-pacific islander, native american) which one do you think your friend fits in. African and Egyptian or Libyan you cant put down

Umm. No they don't. I actually have Egyptian friends and have talked with the Egyptian consul on dozens of occasions. There is no such thing as continental nationality and spanish people have white skin for the most part and most consider themselves white but Egyptians do not. Egyptians don't consider themselves white, black, asian, or hispanic because they consider themselves Middle eastern. Do you even think through the things you type. Egyptians don't consider themselves as white. You were and are utterly mistaken.
/Exits conversation.
You are answering the wrong question... I asked what evidence was there that Black Adam and Captain Marvel was moving at speeds that are beyond what Apollo could possibly do, Not that there was no evidence Black Adam lacks Combat Speed. Besides, just saying that it's a fact that Black Adam has combat speed means little... what is the degree of this combat speed ? Black Adam reacts in Microseconds ? Fractions of Microseconds ? I was talking about Apollo's speed was Supersonic and that Black Adam's should be as well ( dealing directly with traveling speed )... Combat Speed is something I was not directly talking about in the first place... just that they both have Speeds of Supersonic Pace... also, I even gave example of Black Adam battling Jay Garrick ( Flash ) as reason to why Black Adam could be faster than Apollo anyways.@King Saturn said:

Black Adam was fighting Jay Garrick at super speeds, and everything around them looked like it was standing still.

isn't this the Apollo who is occasionally given trouble by Midnighter? he's not even BA's level at all
While true, the OP set-up a scenario powering Apollo up. He still loses, though.

Pretty sure that Polynesian is separate from "Asian" which is rather incorrect to use for race(since much of Russia is in Asia, for example). And last I checked, there were also Arabs and Persians(although they're more related to white I think).

Last I checked, "Middle Eastern" referred to people from the Middle East, which can be Arab, black and Persian, maybe more.

If all you're talking about is travel speed, wtf are you arguing? Travel speed would have little to no effect on the fight. And Black Adam's already shown lightspeed or faster flight IIRC.
