forum rules stipulate that unless otherwise stated we discuss the most recent incarnation of any character. Post crisis superman is slower than the flash FACT.
Im gonna end this right now....You know who the fastest being in the universe is???? GOKU from DragonBallZ. You know why? He doesn't deal with running or flying or friction, etc. He has instant transmission. He can simply think about where he wants to go, and instantly is there. Much faster than some dork running on the ground, or some kryptonian with a fancy cape flying. BAM!!!
The Flash is faster but thats it. If the 2 had a race from Los Angeles, CA to Boston, Ma, the race would end in seconds and surely The Flash would take it, but Superman would show up at the finish line like 2-3 seconds afterwards.

not true...superman would not be able to do that because of the shockwaves he would create....Flash can because the Speed force protects from such things...like friction, sonic booms, and the such, if it were just a race, supes would have to slow down to not destroy buildings and the such....

NOVA!!!! if im thinking right...hes like a 3rd rate wannabe hero. doesnt he fly? ......besides this a superman vs. flash. dont drift to other characters, plze. got other posts with Goku being thrown into the mix.
Well I think flash could beat superman leaving just one metre. Wats a speed force ( ). Guys wat do u think about green lantern vs supes. GL can also go at the speed of light. Power ring is the most power full weapon in the universe. But still superman rocks. I'm gonna have to say the FLASH.
DC states that the Flash is faster, DC also states that Superman is just a step or two behind the Flash in terms of speed running or flying. Bart Allen (when he was Impulse) stated that Superman can acheive 99% the speed of light.
Flash is no doubt faster than Superman......Wally can defeat Superman running backwards......
Currently Superman is faster than light speed but he is still no where near Wally West.......
Back in the Day Pre-Crisis Superman was way faster than Barry though.......

All speed stems from the speed force, so pretty much every fast person that is not mystically endowed with their speed gets it from 'tapping the speedforce.'
Superman's also vibrated intangible before.
Though you're absolutely correct about stealing speed.
