Okay I've been reading some of the threads here and am confused by Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel. From what I understand or believe I do they have the same or at least relative speed god given one(I believe Hermes) is more powerful than the other (Mercury). So who's the fastest between these two? What speed feats do each have? I also know I read something about friction inhibiting her true speed the true aura of a speedster and so can't go pass a certain speed on earth but, what about space and is CM the same? Please post scans.

Speed can be:
A. Travel/Flight speed
B. Reaction Time
...presumably, Superman and others can travel over the speed of light (given how fast he leaves our solar system and travels between planets, it would be silly if he couldn't). But their reflexes are nowhere near, say Flash. Or even someone like Quicksilver, who can only reach maybe Mach 5 in travel speed.
Writers are notorious for not specifying what they mean exactly, and sometimes flight speed can be used like reaction time (i.e. speedblitz in fights).
They should have around the same speed, since Hermes and Mercury are basically the same being but splited in two.
As for the original Greek being more powerful than theyr counterparts, it wasent showed, iirc. They actually for the most part (exceptions possibly noted of Ares/Mars) looked to be peers.
Mercury in "War of The Gods", beat the Flash, and Hermes went toe to toe with him after stealing the speed of others guys in order to match his Roman self (Hermes was weakned before doing that, btw).

i always was under the impression that supes and CM were overall physically equal whereas wonderwoman was lower than the two
BTW CM has a fraction of mercury's power as he does with the other god's power he posseses
however why does CM say it's taking all his speed in that scan whereas the narration says "supersonic" , i thought that flash and CM were travelling at the same speed where flash says he is going/staying just below ("have to stay this side of the speed of light") lightspeed??...............help someone?
Personally, what I find a bit interesting about the above is, on the one hand, Flash is talking about speeding along just shy of lightspeed, but on the other hand, he and CM are being compared to "supersonic" freight trains.
This makes it sound (to me, anyway) like there isn't that much diff between the speed of light and the speed of sound when, in fact, light is about 900,000 times faster.
Eh, comic physics
