Whose Faster Superman or The Flash?

[SolifeNolife]

Hands down The Flash and for a few reasons that might not immediately come to mind. For our examples We'll be referencing Wally West since he's faster than Barry Allen.

•Wally can manipulate each and every molecule in his body to for instance survive the inside of a black hole.

•With a touch Wally can steal another's speed and use it for himself, specially he can take a person's kinetic energy instantly stopping them in their tracks or freezing them for centuries even for thoes who are not linked to the speed force (like superman)

•Should wally become "unmoored" he can outrun the speed force itself, even running to the end of reality where the concept of death doesn't exist.

•Wally has beaten gambler gods in a race across the universe who could teleport instantaneously. To win Wally achieved "trans-time velocity" in less than one unit of planck time (roughly 1.911^-43) which is the absolute edge of measurable time itself. At this point he was so fast reality does not have any means to calculate or even comprehend his speed.

•To determine the fastest flash of them all Wally and Barry raced each other, this simple contest nearly tore apart "the very fabric of the multiverse".

•With Wally's "infinite mass punch" applying the laws of relativity, as Wally's fist approaches light speed its mass technically grows to a infinite degree striking with kinetic energy equivalent to a white dwarf star [White dwarf star mass 1.2 x Solar mass (1.989 x 10^30 kg)] 2.3868e^30 kg. To put that into perspective, the biggest nuke ever created was 50 megatons. One puch from Wally would be like 40 million of thoes.

•Wally is also able to change is vibration frequency to affect alien energies that do not exist in his own reality. Which is how he helped take out aliens called "Quantum Mechanics", beings far beyond any physical dimension and immune to ordinary physics.

And a few quick points: Survived the Big Crunch & outran the Big Bang, Withstood grabbing a singularly, Tore apart the Anti-Monitor's armor, Faster than 4th dimensional teleportation, Rescued 532,000 people in.00001 microseconds, Generated so much energy he was mistaken for the Source, and has defeated Reverse-Flash, Superman, Black Flash, Zoom, and Barry Allen.

Tl;dr Wally is faster than superman cause science and speed force.

Superman's power have changed drastically from the past to recent times. It was for the first time when it was shown that he was about as same as the flash in Justice League live action. But they never showed us who won and it was only most recently that this superpower of Superman was shown. Hard to say for now but judging the comic's history and comparing their powers, it's Flash for the win.

[CrazyGirl2]

Well according to the show “The Flash” on the CW, Male domination of the superhero genre, is merely a product of and evidence for the patriarchy because... Ah who cars, I’m just kidding! Obviously Superman would win... He can fly faster than the speed of light and reverse time for peats sake! Yet when the Flash runs at HIS top speed, we gan all see a Blurr, you can’t see light move! So, clearly it’s Superman.

[bobalife]

Obviously, it's THE FLASH errdayyyalldayyy <3 hehehe. That's why he's The Flash! Lol. He can run into different time forces, change time, vibrate, and always going to "run Barry run" at the speed of his light. #mysuperherobias

[nightdrot]

It's a split decision.

Believe it or not, as a kid, I actually saw this question answered by DC Comics itself. It was in a response to a letter from a reader. Back in those days, they printed letters from readers on the back page or two of the comic book - and if it was possible, the editor would reply.

In this case I don't recall if the letter was in Flash, Superman, Action Comics or Justice League. However a reader duly asked and the Editor replied.

Split decision -

Flash for shorter distances. However, for longer distances, Superman, because of his superpowers, would last longer and would be able to tire the Flash and outpace hime.

Thus the wisdom of the Editor at DC comics circa 1975. The Oracle has spoken.

[RolandCuthbert]

I will never understand why Superman fanatics want Supes to be faster than the Flash.

It just makes more sense that the Flash is faster. I loved Smallville and I loved this scene. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NLYEExrAEJI

[CasaNorba]

Flash, obviously.

Superman cannot break light speed unless he's in outer space where he is not pulled by gravity. though he's still has some advantages for the fact that he is fast all on his own. Flash in the other hand gets all his powers from the Speedforce. which means he'll be nothing but a weirdo with a custom on if you teleport him outside the DC multiverse

[DamnSam]

Well, as geek I can say

Superman is faster than the young flash because his reaction time is faster

Later, Flash gets faster because he learns how to use his power and discovers the "flash point" which can set back time...

Plus he gets some upgrades while he is in that gyroscope prison to run continuously over years on max speed...

[Wade8888]

It's Superman. He has "Reality Warp" Speed and can fly to another Star in an instant, and fly so fast it reverses time itself.

Flash can run so fast it stops time, but Superman can fly so fast it REVERSES time.

Superman wins.

[Savage_Wisdom]

Barry Allen's record top speed is just shy of 13 trillion times faster than light. That's quite a bit faster than Supermans' 16 to 20 times faster than light. It's probably worth pointing out that while Superman has only shown the ability to fly at the speed in outer space, it's reasonable to assume that he can fly that fast, or at least very close to it, while in a planet's atmosphere, he just refuses to fly that fast one on earth out of fear are the damage it would cause.

[Andres77]

They had a competition in a comic book when I was a kid. It was a tie.
Superman couldn't fly.
The flash could run across water, superman had to swim.
Basically superman had to hold back.
Superman would really win, hands down

[gotc147]

Flash.

Yes, Superman beat Flash in a race recently but Flash intentionally holds back his speed due to the damage he can do to space-time if he went all out. Superman went all out in that race and BARELY won.

[portlandjason]

The Flash’s top speed is 2,532 mph, 3.3 times the speed of sound and the ground equivalent of a SR-71 Blackbird.


Superman, in air speed, can reach up to 7,200,000 mph, 9,350 times faster than the speed of sound and about a 9th of the speed of light.


So yes, technically Superman is faster as he can travel at a faster air speed than the flash, who does not possess the capability of flight.

[missy52]

I'm ONLY saying Superman because he can fly and doesn't have to fly around many obstacles. But a land race, definitely The Flash.

[Birdlegs]

Flash has incredible feats of speed obviously I’m not so sure if Superman has shown anything even slightly comparable to them. The movies and stuff don’t do comic flash justice

[Bee-Hatch]

Wasn't there some kind of race in that dull film a few years back with them both in. Didn't that answer it?

[electromagnetic]

Neo from Matrix because the way he travelled to saved Trinity is unexplainable. He almost crashed the matrix.

[genericname85]

superman obviously. he's so overpowered, that he got boring and they had to come up with cryptonite.

the only super hero comic that is still interesting with a completely overpowered main character is one punch man :D

[ChiTown33]

I'd say DC would say the Flash. And there are several examples you could cite where the Flash has proven he's faster. However since Superman's power is drawn from Earth's yellow sun maybe it's dependent on that.

[Dali-chan]

My grandma when she hear that I didn’t eat anything today

[Newhead]

Flash, he travels at the speed of light, are you kidding me? everyone knows this.

[WesBrewer]

Deadpool is the actual fastest, we all know it. you can't deny the truth.

[VanillaSalt]

Movies or comics? Because flash of faster in the comics.

[Hogwheels]

It was actually addressed definitively in the Injustice comics. The answer is the Flash.

[wingattebaby16]

Flash has the Speedforce and has proven many times he is faster than Superman.

[greektragedy]

The Flash but sex would be horrible with the Flash though.

[Lynx122]

The Flash has to be faster or his whole character would be pointless.

[Poppykate]

Definitely The Flash... otherwise he would be called ‘slow-lane’. Lol 😂

[BedheadGreg]

He couldn't catch barry or wally. In flash war. So it's flash.
There so fast they can hop dimension

[broken_heart_at_48]

That's all the flash has is speed so he's got to be the fastest

[call_me_scar]

If I recall correctly superman was shown to be faster in the comics but then again he wasn't faster in dceased so who knows

[clampfan101]

Superman is the best of the best!
However, I think Flash has him beat in pure speed. Superman is more of a jack of all trades.

[Shocker1217]

The Flash has been revealed to be faster in the comics and animated series'.

[yucel_eden]

The flash can not only travel at the speed of light but also access the speed force, up to and including warping time.


Flash is faster

[paraXaraq]

Undeniably both are fast but one has to be faster, and that is Deadpool.!!

Argue with a chimichanga

[Riddler1412]

Depends. Which Flash?
But, yeah, it should be the Flash.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Typically the flash is shown to be slightly faster.

[Lion91]

Superman off course 🤭

[CuriousMufuxka]

Superman. Didn't he reverse time to save the Earth?

[watrewks]

In the comics the flash is faster BY FAR

[AlexEfron]

😆 Justice League movie shows superman is faster

[mia98]

The Flash he’s the fastest man.

[codyccc]

Flash but either way the world would burn

[varan69]

Me when I get the runs. Hahaha...

[siseñor]

me jeje

[Massageman]

They all move at about 24 frames a second.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Do you mean in bed?

[Marshymallow]

Me, I am faster!
