Superstrength and Superspeed as terms were made popular because Superman was the first major character to use them. Just like Brainiac made the slang Brainiac popular.
Regardless this is my last post on this topic here. If you want to argue who was the original speedster or the origin of term Superspeed, feel free to make a new thread.

I never cared for that pov. Im happy with him being fast and strong. But being the fastest amd strongest etc gets old. It makes him the Jack and Master of all. Which shouldn't be...i simply can't find interest in his storylines because he isnt grounded
Yet Batman being able to plan and beat them is okay?

I want Batman to be savvy with his utility belt and vehicles because they cost hard to mantain and he pays high taxes. If you like grounded characters you have to hate "cartoon money" powersets 👆

And that is why Batman and other non powered beings makes no sense whatsoever.

Created it, actually. The term "brainiac" did not exist before the character.
Actually, there was a toy named that, but DC(at least according to them) were unaware of it before they were sued by the creator. And they settled, at least partly by helping to advertise for it.

Superman is a bicycle and the Flash is a Lambo. He can only keep up if the car is in neutral and is getting pushed.He couldn't even last one lap when they weren't even paying attention or trying to out race him...At higher speeds, Superman is literally a stand still statue no different from Green Arrow.
"That was for charity Clark."
they were already going at their 'higher speeds' and failed to make superman look like a statue whatsoever.
They were already running when they passed by the league and superman closed the distance instantly to where he was only about 12 feet behind them. Meaning at that moment he had to go way faster than them to catch up.
He couldn't maintain the speed because of stamina and what not, but at no point did he have any trouble seeing them.
You can't make someone a statue if they have the reflexes to see you. Even during final crisis when wally and Barry ran side by side faster than they've ever gone before, superman had zero issues reacting to them.

😂 If you insist.DC's canon top 10 speed hierarchy(Phil already posted it)...
1.) Wally
2.) Barry
3.) Reverse Flash
4.) Superman
5.) Black Racer
6.) Cheetah
7.) Wonder Woman
8.) God Speed
9.) Shazam
10.) Kid Flash
I guess this proves that Wonder Woman is FAR faster than Supergirl. She didnt even make the list..

This isnt true. He just went all out on Earth as shown here...

I think this statement depends on writer discretion and I can only think of one writer who has mentioned this.
