Essentially... if a test of speed is distance travelled... over time...
And they both travelled for "1 second... superman travelling even at the speed of light 186000 miles per second...
The earth is 3958 radius...
To figure its circumference we take 2 x pi x r
2 x 3.14 ... x 3958 = 34856.24
if Quicksilver could run 10 miles an hour.. and hold that for 10 hours a day... ( its a comic book.. so we'll say he can do more than twice our speed at more than twice the average endurance)
He'd run only 100 miles in a day..... in a year thats 36500 miles...
to make up 186000 miles he'd have to run for 5 years nonstop...
if it was a matter of velocity... of distance over time... quicksilver would win...
but if anyone said... likes run for an hour and see who'd go the farthest? quicksilver owuld die from old age just trying to keep up.
it takes quicksilver about 5 years to do what superman does in 1 second. :P
Fast... is a measure of velocity... distance travelled over time...
which means quicksilver wins.
