Flash and quicksilver question

How long does it take each speedster to run around the world to the same spot they started? For example, lets say each were to run from Miami to Miami. How long does it take each of them? This is NOT a race. i just wanna see how fast they are

No clue...but Flash is a hell of a lot faster

At the moment you say start Flash would cycled a few times around the world and Quicksilver would still try running from the start spot

currently, pietro would need a plane or a boat or a hot-air balloon to do that. powerless. it sucks. but then again, the speedforce is dead.

until recently, flash could've done it in less than a second, i'd say. light travels a distance about seven times the length of the equator per second, so i don't think it'd be hard for the fastest man alive, with access to the speedforce, to get close to that. pietro, probably would've taken several hours. mach 4-ish. approximately 3000 miles per hour. flash would win, dozens upon dozens of times over.

Quicksilver at his best was mach 10(not official) which is 2.2 miles per second. Not too bad actually.

Flash(Wally) was the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second or some people say he was faster than that.

speed of light can never be expressed how fast it is, wally is to fast, im surprised he never escaped earths gravational pull

well thats the speedforce for you it kind of solves all the plot holes and scientific craps like if he was moving at light speed his body would be ripped to shreds. You got to give props to Dc for coming up with one force to solves all there flash problems. I mean at least they give some reason not like other heroes were they just can do something cause there a frakin mutant. soory I went off topic and I shouldn't diss mutants with the aftermath of house of m they have it hard enough

Screw that, hail Wally! lol.

I'll keep it real with you, Marvel originally said that Pietro could only run 175 mph. I realize that they've changed this through the years, but he was never as fast as he is today. Plus he's not the fastest in Marvel as far as earth beings are concerned, Makari is. The Runner is the fastest, but he's a cosmic power.

Quicksilver siad he was able to top at 250 in Son of M and Wally did have a cap on his speed.

If Wally was to run at light speed then he would start to merge with the speed force, but now there is no more speed force so now he.....well no Flashes have a cap now.

I'm guessing they got rid of it so that Flash could fight Zoom because Zoom doesn't have a cap on his speed.

Now to answer the question.

In the Zoom vs Flash fight they circled the earth dozens of times in just a few minutes and that was at Zoom normal speed and Wally got power ups to go at light speed.

Actually, now with how he travels through time, if he was able to apply that to his running, he would theoretically be as fast as Flash. However, I think Marvel is gonna stick to time travel.

So, do they both now use their powers in the same manner?

The circumference of the earth at the equator is about 24,902 miles and lets assume that the Flash will run at light speed (670,616,629 mph) and Quicksilver will run at mach 10 (7,200 mph).

So using the formula v=d/t (and assuming I'm doing it right) we get that it should take Quicksilver 3.46 hours to run around the world and it should take the Flash 3.71 x 10^-5 hours or 0.134 seconds to run around the world.

No not with the speedforce.....

It didn't say he went past light speed there.

Yeah he can go over the speed of light, but he doesn't because he gets merged with the speed force.

In Blitz Wally was starting to go past light speed well he was fighting Zoom and said I feel the speed force calling for me.

Well now there is no speed force so he can go waaaay over light speed like nothing which might now make him faster then Surfer.

I think the only reason they got rid of it was because they couldn't keep doing what they did in Blitz to stop Zoom everytime they fight.
