This is a question about who is faster the Flash or Quicksilver. This question will be answered by comparing both characters speed and power levels.

Have you ever wondered who the fastest guy on the planet is? Your local advertising agency will almost likely say The Flash (believe us, it’s a brand thing), while your next-door neighbor could suggest Superman. The Flash and Superman are both quick, but who is faster?

The Flash outruns Superman in terms of speed. He’s won five of the nine races they’ve competed in, with three ties and just one victory against Superman. Even the quickest Speedster, Wally West, said that if Superman was given enough drive, he could obtain enough speed to outrun any of the other Speedsters.

In the next sections, we’ll look at the races that have taken place between The Flash and Superman, as well as how quick two of the most famous heroes from the DC world are.

Superman or The Flash: Who is the fastest?? [Explained in detail]

Superman and the Flash are both famed for their quickness. While the Man of Steel has many other attributes, The Flash’s greatest ability and power is speed. Superman is quick, but is he fast enough to deal with the world’s fastest man?

A Quick Overview of the Rivalry

Whether you believe it or not, the dispute over whether Superman or The Flash is quicker is an ancient one. The two superheroes raced one other on multiple occasions, sometimes for fun, sometimes for a serious purpose, but whatever the motive, it was always an entertaining spectacle to see.

The Flash Or Superman? [All Races Results Included]

Their first race was in 1967, when Barry Allen, at the request of the United Nations, staged a charity race around the globe against Superman. As shown in the comic “Superman’s Race With the Flash!” from Superman #199, it was a genuinely historic event.

Despite the excitement, the race ended in a tie when Superman and The Flash both crossed the finish line at the same time.

Barry and Clark raced again the next year, this time across the Milky Way Galaxy. Two aliens (later revealed to be two disguised villains) threatened to destroy Central City (Flash’s homeland) and Metropolis (Superman’s birthplace) if they refused, while also keeping the rest of the Justice League hostage.

The tale “The Race to the End of the Universe!” appeared in Flash #175 and concluded in a draw, despite Batman declaring Superman the winner and the rest of the Justice League seeing Barry cross the finish line first.

Seven more times, the two superheroes battled it out, with Superman defeating every Flash save Bart Allen. Others of the races were essential, while others were simply for fun, and some were not even races, but they did put the two of them to the test in terms of speed.

Before we go into the chart, it’s worth noting that Superman has only won one of the seven remaining races, with one tie, implying that the three Flashes have won the other five. Let’s have a look at all of them now:

As you can see, Flash has been more successful in practically every version of the famed rivalry. This is further supported by the recent issue of The Flash #49, in which Barry Allen and Wally West are involved in a pursuit that threatens to destroy the Earth.

Superman, being the only one capable of challenging them, attempts to keep up with them to observe what’s going on, but eventually has to stop – fatigued – claiming that they’re just too quick for him.

When it comes to the Flashes, Wally West is the quickest. Barry Allen is in second place, followed by Bart Allen in third. Even though Jay Garrick is the slowest of the four, he was able to defeat Superman in a race.

Who Is Faster

The Flash, based on what we’ve learned from comic books, is unquestionably quicker than Superman. It’s hardly much, considering that Superman is basically the only non-Speedster capable of challenging the Speedsters, but in terms of comics, it’s just not enough.

The problem is that DC Comics has never acknowledged this, implying that despite the comics’ support for The Flash, the publisher just does not want to definitively explain the riddle, which is fantastic for marketing, so we can see the reasons.

Furthermore, despite the fact that the comics do not provide any concrete evidence, a number of derivative materials really support the theory that Superman is quicker.

However, it’s worth noting that some Speedsters claimed that Superman could defeat them. In general, Superman is slower, but even Wally West, the quickest Flash and the only person to have ever beaten Superman in a race, has remarked that with enough drive, Superman might achieve enough speed to outrun any of the Speedsters.

Fortunately for them, this has not yet occurred, so we can fairly believe that the Flashes are quicker than Superman until it does.

The “who is faster flash or kid flash” is a question that has been asked for years. The answer to the question, is that they are both equal in speed.
