There have been a lot of speedsters in comics come and go. But who has stuck around and who moved past the speed force? Which heroes and villians are still here and just who fast can they run. When Quicksilver first came on the scene he could only run at 175 mph, any of the Flashes could run faster then that. Yet they hyped him cause he was an Anvenger. Does Marvel have anything like the speedforce? Where they can tap into and go faster then the speed of light? In DC can Superman or CaptainMarvel aka Billy Batson tap into the speed force and go faster or is just for the Flashes?

Johnny Quick
Johnny Quick was a super fast hero of the Golden Age. He clearly derived from the Flash. One difference: Johnny Quick often used his speed powers to set machines going at a super-fast rate. This is something that I rarely recall the Flash doing. He was also a bit more tongue in cheek and humorous than the Flash.

In his secret identity Johnny Quick was newsreel photographer Johnny Chambers, for the Sees-All Tells-All News. This secret identity was partly in the tradition of Clark Kent, whose reporter job helped him be in the middle of many exciting and newsworthy events. However, Johnny's secret identity differed from that of Clark Kent in that he was not a nerd. Being a newsreel photographer was a fairly glamorous profession. He was not well to do, but clearly he was an admirable man with a lot on the ball. Johnny Chambers was also a reasonably glamorous figure in his personal appearance.

Johnny Quick had a humorous assistant, Tubby Watts, who was always eating. The comedy relief associated with Tubby seems pretty strained to me, and has generally not stood the test of time. In their civilian personas and jobs, Johnny Chambers and Tubby Watts remind one somewhat of the detectives from Frank Gruber's prose mystery novels, Johnny Fletcher and Sam Cragg, who first teamed up in The French Key (1940). They also resemble Siegel and Shuster's pioneering comic book private eye Slam Bradley and his humorous assistant Shorty Morgan, who first appeared in Detective Comics #1, March 1937.

it truly is an prolonged checklist. there is probable no character bodily more suitable than DC's SuperMan. the only ask your self hero that comes close would be Sentry; who's meant to have "the ability of a million Exploding Suns", which sounds ridiculous, greater proper to laundry detergent promoting. i will try a suitable ten checklist of D.C and attractiveness Characters. a million SuperMan ***** a million. Sentry 2 WonderWoman ***** 2. Juggernaut 3Martian Manhunter ***** 3 soaking up guy (more suitable) 4 Lobo ***** 4 Hulk (enraged) 5 Captain ask your self ***** 5 Thanos 6 Black Adam ***** 6 Gilgamesh 7 Bizarro ***** 7 Hercules 8 SuperNova ***** 8 Thor 9 Parasite *****9 Gladiator (Shiar) 10 Doomsday ****10 WonderMan remember, i'm greater attentive to ask your self than DC. i understand Doomsday ought to be greater, yet I purely observed him face off against SuperMan. As for ask your self, I eradicated cosmic powered beings, elders, etc. numbers 5 by using 10 mixed would probable no longer be everywhere close to the potential point of any single one the DC checklist, based on the author. one and all on the ask your self component can press over a hundred plenty.

the Wally West Flash defeated Superman on earth – only by inches – in The Adventures of Superman #463 (February 1990).

many rules go into determining fastest - running, flying, location, etc.

One of the great comic book debates that will likely go on for a long, long time
