Black Adams' feats trumps anything we've seen from Zod (or Faora and Namek for that matter).
And unlike Superman, BA looks like he actually knows how to fight instead of just purely throwing haymakers and bullrushing opponents.
His speed feats alone are above Zod's and even the casualness of how he tanks firepower seemed above the Kryptonians.
Black Adam wins this handily.

If we say Zod's powers are almost on par with Superman's, then Zod's faster, as Krytonian speed is greater than Adam's speed. Which was extremely impressive, but it's not faster than being able to hang with the Flash.
Though I do suspect that we ever see a film with Adam and Superman, their speed will be equalized.

He is a pussy though. He's never won a fight. He lost to an old scientist and an untrained farm boy who ended up killing him.

That still leaves the matter of the lightning blast, one of which was so powerful that it nearly wiped out the entire Kandaq population, which is why Shazam imprisoned him. That blast must have been at least Tuskunga level.

We don't share fts but even if we did, he still loses here.

Kryptonians can survive nukes at point blank. It knocks them out and drains them, but they survive. That lightning might (and I stress might} tickle a Kryptonian's cornhole.
Lol. It's crazy how many people here refuse to acknowledge that Zod just DOES NOT HAVE speed feats to match Black Adam. Zod was able to fly at superspeed and do the occasional bull rush at super speed. Black Adam was able to casually move around people who were still as statues and was able to perform more fine-motor tasks like putting a grenade in a person's mouth.
I'm not saying Zod can't hit Adam. He was still hit by guys like Hawkman after all. But let's please drop the nonsense that Zod is faster than him.

I am arguing that Zod could replicate, or come close to replicating Superman's JL speed since Kryptonians share the same powerset due to their same biology. If we don't allow Zod that, then sure, he's way too slow to compete if Adam fights in superspeed the whole time.
There's 2 contrasting ideas to this. Either
1.) We assume Superman has improved since his fight with Zod to his fight with the JLA (either because of experience or because he was ressurrected with a motherbox) - in which case even if we scale Zod to Superman in MoS, neither of them still have any feats to match BA.
Or
2.) We assume that Superman has been at similar power levels throughout all his movies, which means he was as fast in his fight with Zod as he was in his fight with Flash. However, this also means that he can get knocked out by a collapsing oil rig as his durability and strength never increased from his initial movie to his final movie.
If we make the assumption that his durability and strength improved throughout the movies, then we have to assume his speed did too.

I dont see how Adams speed isnt comparable. He was seeing everything in statue form too.
