Fastest Character

Aren't there several greek gods about on par with Zeus according to greek mythology? Like Poseidon and Hades? How are they portrayed by Marvel?

I think Marvel gets their Greek and Roman mythology mixed up as their Hades is known as Pluto.

this is true they should be almost equal. But are never displayed as such. I hate that marvel focuses so much on Asgard anyway. They need to explore olympus

Who is the fastest character in comic?

My vote is for X-Man, when he shifted himself into the Planck Length.

2,406,201,025,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. times the speed of light.

Go!

I feel you, bro.

Exactly.

The plank length is the smallest possible distance, not the largest. Thus he isn't fast but slow.

Slipping into the slowest moments of time, does not make him slow if he is caring out perfectly normal cognitive tasks in relative time.

I really dont see the distinction from the Flash, who revs up his speed so much that everything seems to slow down. Everyone may seem to be slowed down to a frozen like state, yet he himself operates relativistic to normal time.

But to each its own.

Same gods different names if im not mistaken. Like Mars and Ares are considered to be the same beings.

Well, Flash uses speed. Speed manip, vs time manip.

Personally, I don't consider Zoom II fast either, because technically he's not revving up speed.. He's bending time to simulate speed.

Yep, some he was warned to avoid by Herc because of the damage he night substain before meeting Zeus.

In mythology yes , in Marvel comics , depends from writer to writer . Some would treat him as being nigh invincible when compared to his subjects , others use examples from mythology like Typhon to tone him down a bit .

Even in mythology, no one messed with Zeus when he'd spend days torturing his wife.. The Thunderbolts were the strongest power.

Actually, according to mythology I believe that Zeus was more powerful than all the gods put together.

As for Ares, while I do think he should be more powerful in comics, I believe that he was always a weak god in Greek mythology. The Romans made him more powerful/important though.

I've never read that Zeus was more powerful then the entire Pantheon combined. Just that he, Hades and Poseidon agreed to divy up the Earth accordingly.

The Gods turned on Zeus since they were pissed at him for being a dick and they were all equally as powerful and yet, he was King.

So they chained him up while he was sleeping and were going to kill him or some sh** but the hundred handers showed up to save him and help Zeus fight the gods.
