The Verdict: While not every Flash could beat Superman in a no-holds-barred race, the main Flashes — Barry Allen and Wally West — have both beaten Superman in several contests of speed. The Speed Force is a potent power source, allowing them to break the laws of physics in ways that Superman just can't.
Superman can run and think fast, he just doesn't come close to The Flash's top speed. In all instances of racing The Flash, Superman has never bested him, and throughout the entire history of DC comics, these two heroes have drawn twice. The Flash has bested Superman on two occasions so far.
It's been proven by now that Superman can't outrun the Flash, but it turns out he's still fast enough to keep up with Flash's top speed - albeit barely.
But Eobard is by far the most dangerous, because he's not just Barry's equal - he's faster. After failing to save Wally West over and over in his nightmare, Flash turns to Eobard Thawne to try and steal his speed, admitting, "Thawne's faster than me. Always has been."
One-Minute War Confirms That The Flash Family is Faster Than Superman. DC's One-Minute War heats up in The Flash #792, and confirms that the members of the Scarlet Speedster's family are faster than Superman. The following article contains spoilers from The Flash #792, on sale now from DC Comics.
He can also outrun other speedsters, such as Sonic and Quicksilver. It is said that The Flash can run 13 trillion times faster than the speed of light, which would mean that he can travel up to 1,750,000,000,000,000,000 miles per second. The Flash gets his incredible speed and abilities from The Speed Force.
Barry confirms that on the ground, he is indeed faster than Clark because Flash can do things Superman is unable to do, such as being able to vibrate his molecules and phase through solid objects.
When necessary, Goku has been faster than The Flash, but it's the source of The Flash's powers, and his years spent mastering the way he and his enemies respond to speed, that holds his best weapon.
Shazam can fly at the speed of light, which makes him faster than almost any other hero, but both Barry Allen and Wally West are able to move at speeds faster than light, meaning that while they would have to push themselves, at least two Flashes are faster than Shazam.
In the comics, Godspeed is a few notches faster than Barry Allen as shown in the above photo where he struggled to keep up with him. The only way Barry was able to stop the villainous speedster was to "short-circuit" both their connections to the Speed Force, which temporarily cuts off their super speed.
This also tracks very well with Flash Rebirth #3 where Barry Allen admits there were times he'd let Superman win on purpose whenever they raced for charity in the past. The Flash is the Fastest Man Alive, and that includes being faster than Kryptonians.
Hurting the Hulk would be hard for the Flash, especially since every missed attack would make the Hulk angrier. However, the Flash can always deploy the infinite mass punch, his most devastating attack. It would be a last resort but it would give the Flash the win.
There's no question the Hulk is a near-indestructible force who comes out on top in almost all of his battles of pure strength. However, against Superman, he's outmatched. While Hulk's strength might rival that of the Man of Steel, Superman's other abilities give him a considerable edge against his opponent.
While it is fairly obvious that the Flash could run circles around Thanos under normal circumstances as his powers make him virtually untouchable, there wouldn't be much the Scarlet Speedster could do if he was around for Thanos' Infinity Snap as there is no way to outrun the god-like power of cosmic chance.
The idea that God can travel faster than light is a concept that is often found in religious texts and mythology, but it is not something that can be scientifically proven or disproven.
In addition to his role as a messenger, Hermes is often considered to be the god of speed. He is often depicted wearing winged shoes that allow him to fly swiftly from one place to another. One origin myth for Hermes and his association with speed is the story of what happened shortly after Hermes was born.
Superhuman Speed: The Black Flash can move at vast superhuman speeds, easily keeping up with Barry Allen, and surpassing the speed of light. Superhuman Reflexes: Because of his immense speed, Black Flash's reflexes are heightened to superhuman levels, allowing him to react to danger instantly.
He can travel through space unharmed and can summon powerful bolts of lightning with his indestructible enchanted hammer. The Flash may be able to escape harm for a bit, but in the end, Thor would be too strong for the Flash to withstand.
It's this power that allows Flash to defeat the villain Darkseid and his best-known device to attain power, the Anti-Life Equation. In Justice League Infinity #7, the story begins with the Justice League - or rather, what's left of them - in dire straights.
500,000- is roughly 28 X 18,000, so 50,000 X 28=1,400,000 Mph now lets add his SSJ multipliers:SSJ1=70,000,000 Mph\ SSJ2=3,500,000,000.So I guess roughly that Vegeta can travel over 3 Billion Mph;the speed of light is 670 million Mph; so Vegeta can easily exceed the speed of light.]
Fans often wonder who is faster, Sonic or Flash. Whether it's Barry Allen or Wally West, The Flash is the fastest speedster in the DC universe. Of course, Sonic the Hedgehog is the fastest being in his video game universe and he would make other speedsters jealous.
At base levels — i.e. the levels of power that Wally and Superman have both showed when it comes to foot speed — Wally would take the race. With Superman's newly enhanced power, he'd likely win. But if there were no rules against how Wally used the Speed Force, then Wally would win.
