ok, so just going by speed, his best feat is this one, which is great because it is also a combat feat. If need be, I can expand this point, but unlike a lot of the characters who are fast but more brawler or whatever, Starhawk is [b]strictly a speed character, and his MO is to accelerate to FTL then blast at his opponents.anyways, it says he goes instantly to lightspeed than increases it through "geometric compounding". if lightspeed = c, than "geometric compounding would be: c + cx + cx^2 + cx^3... etc. Taken with the "multi-erg" (which is a measure of power, like joules), we probably shouldn't try to figure out a quantifiable value, but it is clear that he very quickly can accelerate to multiple times the speed of light:
(notice, he is invisible to the pathbreakers sensors. These are good sensors. In the issue that immediatly preceded the one this scan is from, Starhawk was moving FTL when the robot attacked him. This means the robot CAN sense things FTL, but Starhawk now is moving so much beyond that)
Here we see his ability to dodge at FTL:

I'd bet on the Worldmind being able to track Starhawk on a battle agains Nova. Even with a huge head start, he was able to catch fake Quasar who was travelling multiple speeds of light.
he eventually gets him here...
During battle, Richie can use Worldmind to track, plot, analyze, and target anything he wants instantaneously by processing data directly to his brain. This makes him fight intuitive and instinctive.

Here Phalanx uses orbital sensors to track Nova Prime travelling at superluminal speeds (ftl), but are still unable to catch him even after deploying 8 sentries. They resorted to using rapid-positioning teleportation just to be able to tag him along with 100 more sentries!!!

Without orbital sensors, the Phalanx with all their advanced tech are unable to track a regular Nova centurion. A centurion has like 1/1000th of Nova Prime's power. Probably less.
