GREEN LANTERN (KYLE RAYNER) NEW EARTH
In Green Lantern (2002) #146, titled “Hand of God: Day One”, Ion performs a super speed feat. In the previous issue, Kyle Rayner has claimed the Ion power and become Ion. With godlike power, Kyle Rayner is able to work in his studio and feed the poor in Uganda at the same time.
How much super speed does it take for Ion to be in two places at once separated by 11263.8 kilometers of distance?

IN THE ISSUE, ION IS IN NEW YORK CITY AND UGANDA SIMULTANEOUSLY.
IMPORTANTLY, THE TIME OF HIS SUPER SPEED TRAVEL APPROACHES 0 SECONDS. SIMILARLY, ION GENERATED AN INFINITE-LEVEL OF SUPER SPEED. LIKELY, THIS MEANS ION IS OMNIPRESENT IN THE DC UNIVERSE.

In the issue, Ion is able to be in two places at the same time.
We will use the speed of an electron in order to estimate the super speed feat.
NUMBER CRUNCHING
In a quantum physics experiment, researchers successfully tested quantum superposition in large molecules. According to the theory, at the quantum scale, particles behave like waves. One property of waves is to be at two places simultaneously. In addition, we know electrons move at the speed of light.
In the case of Ion, let’s calculate the time it would take for him to travel to Uganda at the speed of light.
Time in seconds = (11263800 m)/(2.99*108 m/s) = 0.0376715719 s.
However, since Ion is able to be simultaneously in two places, his time would be close to 0 seconds. Essentially, Ion would require infinite super speed. Though the calculation would yield an undefined value, the limit of the distance as the speed approaches infinity would be 0.
SUPER SPEED
First, Ion is in New York City and Uganda simultaneously. Hence, the time of his super speed travel approaches 0 seconds.
To this end, Ion generated an Infinite-Level of Super Speed. Likely, this means Ion is omnipresent in the DC Universe.

Calculations for Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), ‘Green Lantern’ Vol 3 #146
Distance between New York City and Uganda = 11263800 m.
Time in seconds = (11263800 m)/(2.99*108 m/s) = 0.0376715719 s.
