what does that mean? Puttin aside the fact that Superman has tied the Flash like 3 times, a 2 year old kid could "race" the flash. . . they would just lose.

speakin' of which find me a 2 year old kid! We gotta test this one out!

Quicksilver can travel through time...

Essentially... if a test of speed is distance travelled... over time...

And they both travelled for "1 second... superman travelling even at the speed of light 186000 miles per second...

The earth is 3958 radius...
To figure its circumference we take 2 x pi x r
2 x 3.14 ... x 3958 = 34856.24

if Quicksilver could run 10 miles an hour.. and hold that for 10 hours a day... ( its a comic book.. so we'll say he can do more than twice our speed at more than twice the average endurance)
He'd run only 100 miles in a day..... in a year thats 36500 miles...
to make up 186000 miles he'd have to run for 5 years nonstop...

if it was a matter of velocity... of distance over time... quicksilver would win...

but if anyone said... likes run for an hour and see who'd go the farthest? quicksilver owuld die from old age just trying to keep up.

it takes quicksilver about 5 years to do what superman does in 1 second. 😛

Fast... is a measure of velocity... distance travelled over time...
which means quicksilver wins.

Ultimate Quicksilver when he still was a kid could run in 10 Mach (10 times speed of sound).
But I think Supes takes this.

Runner anyone -.-"

IM sorry to say this but its a lot of people on this site that dont know what they are talking about Im reading a interview in the wizard book and writer jeph loebs and writer (just give his last name) john states that superman speed is only at 2000 mps. Thats nowhere near the speed of light. Also in a race that I seen with him and the flash, the writer simply states that superman move above the speed of sound at 2000 mps. When you see superman moving at speeds that is coming close to the speed of light or at the speed of light, he is either getting help from somewhere or the writer is messing up something. I remember when superman and the jla got capture by some dude that took control of the jla and had them building some kind of citedal, it was when the jla teamed with rann and he needed the jla to help get his wife from a alien being. Rann created something that shot a light beam at a ship that his wife was in and the beam moved at the speed of light. Superman specifically said that his speed dont come close to rival that of the light beam to save ranns wife so flashed lend superman his speed and superman caught up with the beam and saved his wife. The wizard book that i got the interview from was wizard 174.

During there race it was stated that they were both running at 2000 miles per second. They continued to accelerate. Later in the fight Superman fired his heat vision at Flash, but it was not fast enough to reach him as he was travelling faster than the speed of light. This is a speed feat for Superman as well as he is keeping pace with Flash at that speed.

I'd argue that Mark Waid was in error durring that story. The Zeta beam by it's very nature as a medium to allow faster than light travel must travel faster than the speed of light. A Zeta beam can travel across the galaxy in moments. If it only travelled at light speed it would take centuries to get to Rann.

OK, if they are traveling at 2000 miles per second then they are traveling at about 3,200,000 m/s and the speed of sound is 340 m/s and if you times that by 10 (as someone said) is 3,400 m/s. See a big difference.

Flash (Wally) once spent what seemed to him a few weeks watching an opera. Needless to say he was pretty annoyed.

Which might be the biggest problem with speed related powers. The flow of time is so skewed and divergent that it must be hell being like Flash (or even Quicksilver). Everything seems to move slower than molasses, and after a while one's powers must start to seem more like a curse than a blessing.

Why wouldn't their perception of time and such be in proportion to their speed?

Im sitting here looking at the wizard book right now and its specifically says that superman max speed is 2000 mps and it got earth 2 superman in here and it says that he runs 1740mps. Do I believe fans of superman or do I believe writers. I have witness this many of times that superman can only go around that speed. Im sitting here looking at it right now and it specifically states by jeph Loebs that superman top speed is at 2000 mps. You all just made that stupid assumption up that superman can go as fast as light. The speed feats that superman do, going at 2000 mps he would still be able to accomplish the things that he do.

Im going with the writers instead of the fans and if im reading that superman top speed is 2000 mps, then thats what it is.

Did you read this post?

This puts QS to shame, also if you look at what it takes him to go from planet to planet in the time frame is much faster. So basically they say it wrong or draw it wrong.

Well since the writers are lying and the fans are correct, since I like wolverine, his strength is 10 tons. Since I hate galactus - wolverine vs galactus, wolverine would win because Im a fan and Im right and the writers dont know what they are talking about.

So QS actually jumping futher in time is defeated by Supes going really fast?thumbdown

I said what

Quicksilver by far

(we are not talking about flight speed, right ?)

if u meen who's faster on foot... i'm not too sure, superman kicks quiksilvers ass if he's flying, i would even say his fighting speed is faster as well, problem is can his foot speed match or beat quiksilvers... not too sure?
