How long does it take each speedster to run around the world to the same spot they started? For example, lets say each were to run from Miami to Miami. How long does it take each of them? This is NOT a race. i just wanna see how fast they are
currently, pietro would need a plane or a boat or a hot-air balloon to do that. powerless. it sucks. but then again, the speedforce is dead.
until recently, flash could've done it in less than a second, i'd say. light travels a distance about seven times the length of the equator per second, so i don't think it'd be hard for the fastest man alive, with access to the speedforce, to get close to that. pietro, probably would've taken several hours. mach 4-ish. approximately 3000 miles per hour. flash would win, dozens upon dozens of times over.
He is. Since Wally is (was) one with the speedforce and not just tapping into it like the other Flashes, his speed didn't have an actual cap. Going beyond light just took a little time. Seconds actually but an eternity to him.
well thats the speedforce for you it kind of solves all the plot holes and scientific craps like if he was moving at light speed his body would be ripped to shreds. You got to give props to Dc for coming up with one force to solves all there flash problems. I mean at least they give some reason not like other heroes were they just can do something cause there a frakin mutant. soory I went off topic and I shouldn't diss mutants with the aftermath of house of m they have it hard enough

I'll keep it real with you, Marvel originally said that Pietro could only run 175 mph. I realize that they've changed this through the years, but he was never as fast as he is today. Plus he's not the fastest in Marvel as far as earth beings are concerned, Makari is. The Runner is the fastest, but he's a cosmic power.

Quicksilver siad he was able to top at 250 in Son of M and Wally did have a cap on his speed.
If Wally was to run at light speed then he would start to merge with the speed force, but now there is no more speed force so now he.....well no Flashes have a cap now.
I'm guessing they got rid of it so that Flash could fight Zoom because Zoom doesn't have a cap on his speed.
Now to answer the question.
In the Zoom vs Flash fight they circled the earth dozens of times in just a few minutes and that was at Zoom normal speed and Wally got power ups to go at light speed.
Actually, now with how he travels through time, if he was able to apply that to his running, he would theoretically be as fast as Flash. However, I think Marvel is gonna stick to time travel.
The circumference of the earth at the equator is about 24,902 miles and lets assume that the Flash will run at light speed (670,616,629 mph) and Quicksilver will run at mach 10 (7,200 mph).
So using the formula v=d/t (and assuming I'm doing it right) we get that it should take Quicksilver 3.46 hours to run around the world and it should take the Flash 3.71 x 10^-5 hours or 0.134 seconds to run around the world.
