Correction. It's characters that have superspeed, but don't usually run fast. In comics, you can have or exhibit tremendous super speed and not usually be portrayed as a speedster through the movement of your lower limbs or travel around everywhere with the style of a Flash or Quicksilver.
The idea of forcing specific a set of rules through rationalization or the use of real life physics just to identify whether one has superspeed is not only narrow minded, but quite frankly silly. I mean this is comics after all. A medium that is not only saturated with pseudo science, but also employs various story telling styles. Like CosmicComet said, "It's idiocy at its finest".
But to answer your question, here's a few who would fall in the has superspeed even though they don't go zipping around like a traditional speedster category.
Nova(Sam)
Doomsday
Mangog
Angela
Spectrum
Ray
Heck in The Kingdom, Gog was heavily implied to have movement in the nanoseconds. On panel he was able to perceive and react to an on coming Flash attack, but even he is never depicted zipping around blitzing everybody like a Flash.
Should I continue?

Except they do. Doomsday has outright blitzed people running on foot.
So have Monica and Ray. Mangog doesn't has superspeed.

The fact that he was able to perceive Flash and Rip in nanoseconds tell us where he has in speed. Or you sure about that?
By all means do. Its always amusing to see you flail.
Doomsday hit people and Booster Gold made a comment that he was faster than Flash.
Monica and Ray are never depicted landing blows in the hundreds or running from place to place at super speed.
So Mangog has no superspeed even though he is able to hit Thor with multiple blows at such a speed that a highly advanced alien AI whose sole purpose is to record events is unable to tally the amount with its instruments... (please log in to view the image)
Superman straight up says he needs to go faster than usual to match Doomsday.
That's better proof of superspeed than anything Thor has.
They both have done things at superspeed. Monica has run on foot. Ray has painted Metron's symbol all over Earth at superspeed.

Yes. You should show the fastest scene Recorder has recorded.
Well, go on. I'll wait.
That his appearances were not of a speedster? He had absorbed the power of dozen of superheroes with superspeed.
He didn't act like one but that doesn't means he wasn't a speedster or lacked the ability to do so.
Pre-Crisis Aquaman was suggested as faster then Superman while swimming and Superman at points couldn't react to him when flying by his own admission. Pre-Crisis Aquaman could also trail a flying Wonder Woman by his own statement and suggested this to be true when he followed her to Paradise Island despite not knowing where it was. By logic that would imply his perception works at super fast levels.
Yet I've yet to see him run at speeds he can swim at but he is able to charge at superspeed whether straightforward like in TOA at Wonder Woman or upwards in the air.
And yet we don't see Doomsday zipping around leaving after images... Get it?
No shiet. I am not saying that they don't have superspeed.
Oh btw regarding Monica. Are you talking about the race? She was actually floating more than running and was disqualified.
Huh? This is silly. It's an advanced ai that can calculate things like a supercomputer. For example, it was able to tally an actual amount of Rigellians who died instantly from an explosion that Mangog caused. The figure was like 12,216 dead dying in an instant. It was also able to calculate that 50% of Rigel's population had perished in 11.2 seconds caused by a massive radiation wave from Thanos's ship and only 12% were remaining by the time 24.2 seconds elapsed.
On panel he's recorded things that happened in the space of a second and in the space of a heartbeat.
He can also play back things he has recorded for even better analysis. His highly advanced sensors can also detect things that are not in front of him..
It's almost like asking can WBH push a planet, but have people say he can't because he never did it on panel even though he has feats that surpass it. Come on man...
Lol... Exactly.
Look at what I said originally.
"It's characters that have superspeed, but don't usually run fast. In comics, you can have or exhibit tremendous super speed and not usually be portrayed as a speedster through the movement of your lower limbs or travel around everywhere with the style of a Flash or Quicksilver."
Superman has super reaction. He was looking at the direction Arthur was coming out of with the "What was that" statement and Batman explains what he hit Arthur with. Aquaman comes out of the fire talking before he hits Superman who was behind Wonder Woman and Batman. So he charged at him before a reaction.
He later Reacts to Wonder Woman's lasso and then charges her in the page after.
It's more you downplaying several instances because your logic went from being questionable to being proved wrong..
Aquaman's been able to process/perceive the movements of speedsters, react to Speedsters and keep up with Speedsters while swimming. Yet he can't run at those speeds. You suggested characters haven't been shown to have super speed without being to run at said speeds a lot of the stuff I posted disagrees.
It's cute how you ignore the fact Barry is running at Superspeed above water or the scan of him swimming next to characters running at super speed.
