Lol. I think youre in the wrong thread Juggy.
I think Flash wins. Superman is nowhere near Flash in speed.
I dont quite know how fast exactly Shazam/Captain Marvel is, but doesnt he have the speed of Mercury?
I believe Flash is faster than that. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Actually, on numerous occasions, Superman and various Flash incarnations have been shown to have similar speed. Wally once stole Superman's speed and beat him easily, but in a straight-up race it's pretty even. Any Flash has a huge advantage in reflexes and thought-time, but in a straight-line race it's close.
DC actually devoted a comic one time to the many occurences of Flash/Superman races. Not sure who takes this one though...don't know enough about Marvel's speed.

I could be wrong, but I think on pretty much all those occasions, the Flash that Superman is racing is Barry.
Wally is the fastest of the Flashes. In a straight line, once Flash hits the top gear, Superman cant keep up.
In the recent Flash #209, Superman is keeping up pretty much until Flash catches his second wind, and hits top gear.
Mercury? The messanger god? He should probably be damn fast, but who knows.
And yeah, it would depend on which Flash it is. Wally would most definitely beat Supes, whereas Barry or any of the others would be a better race.

P.S. Smallville, while entertaining (especially since a Flash makes an appearence...didn't know that had anyone else besides Kal-El), isn't a credible source.
