There´s an easier explanation. Superman has multiple super powers. Flash has only one. So, it makes sense that Flash has to be better in the only super power he has. If not...what´s the point?
No flash has got one power and if you're talking about moves like phasing are only possible due to his one power super speed. Take away that he can't do anything.
Yes. He has multiple abilities. In fact, he´s one of the most powerful DC characters because of that. However, all that comes from just the speed. So, he´s main power is speed.
Superhuman durability, superhuman stamina, complete control of his molecules, superhuman reflexes, an enhanced mental process, the ability to control kinetic energy, superhuman strength, he has a speed force aura that he can manipulate, a ridiculous healing factor, the ability to create speed force constructs, decelerated aging and the ability to age himself, that power works like his healing factor but a more powerful version of it. For example, once when he had a hole in his chest made by a bolt of lightning conjured by Weather Wizard he accelerated his aging so his body naturally healed but just at a much faster rate,. His hair even grew and he got a beard doing it because he's just making his body age. He can only do this without facing any negative consequences due to a speedsters natural decelerated aging and longevity. Also, these are just Wally's (my favourite Flash ) powers. Bart, Jay and Barry have at least 1 different power.
No he wouldn't catch them on a "good day". The speedster can travel faster than light. THEY CAN TRAVEL THROUGH TIME JUST BY THEIR SPEED!!! Can Superman travel through time? NOOO
I never said Superman could catch Flash matching his speed. Superman is slower than Flash but he can predict his movements similar to how he did in the New 52 when they first met.
no flash would has lightning speed reaction time and thinking. Everything is kinda in slowmotion for him. He would be able to react. Maybe not when he first became the flash because he was figuring out his powers but he would other wise.
You're looking a lot better, man. I personally want you to know that I appreciate your videos, as someone who doesn't always have time to read comic books, you offer a lot of insight into them, thanks Drake!
Depends on which flash superman races Of course no author is dumb enough to answer this question clearly but it is obivious flash is faster than superman
@@mehmetalieser3789 yeah but superman's speed is evergroowing just as much as all his powers aslong as he is always getting energy from the yellow sun so maybe flash is currently faster but superman's just gets faster everyday
I want to congratulate you Comic Drake, I knew the answer beforehand (and not in the "Oh Superman would totally beat Goku in a fight" way, but in a "This person literally admitted this" kinda of way) yet I still watched the entire video. I don't know how you can make a video entertaining for a viewer who already knows all the content, but you did it. So keep up the good work. edit from after the last few seconds: You said most of your viewers don't read comics... IS THIS TRUE? I assumed everyone here read comics, am I a unicorn?
he's kind of a dick for say that. I'm sure most viewers have read comics at some point in their lives, but maybe dont have as much time anymore to devote to them.
i don't read comics as much. i don't know how to start, there's lots of storylines, dimensions, etc. i am more into manga. it's just that comics are written by different authors, i kind of hate it. superman is op in some, sometimes he's a bit weak, it just doesn't make sense sometimes. i need a bit of consistency. btw, i hate superman. batman, the flash ftw! it's just me. haha
Thanks you, Drake. I have many family members who argue that Supes is faster. This is concise, well documented, and maybe they'll listen to your unbiased opinion. I really enjoy your videos. Seriously, thank you for all your hard work.
actually false, barry has ran the fastest, but wally is so intuned with the speedforce that he can create objects and has more powers with the speedforce that no other speedster has
@@JaydontPlay124 I'm late but that's also false, wally is more intuned with the speedforce hence him being faster than Barry, and one of the comics proves it, just look up the fastest flash and you'll find it.
@@perry2921 according to barry and wally feats, barry has actually ran the fastest, but wally is faster than barry, meaning if wally chose to run his faster he would be faster than barry's fastest feat
Nice. Sounds completely definitive to me. It reminds me of the "who would win in a fight, goku or superman?" debate the internet has been having with itself for years on end. Man who overcomes every limitation or man whose only limits are self imposed. The only way I could ever see Supes even coming close to victory is if he let go of his self imposed limitations, and even then, as you so astutely pointed out, Drake, Flashes litterally have all the speed (kinetic energy) in the multiverse (including Superman's OWN speed) to draw on. So the Flash's speed is litterally without limit. The more Kinetic energy the universe contains (ie the faster Supes runs) the more speed the Flash has access to, and therefore would always win.
Though in the grand scheme of things, Superman's speed is so small that taking the energy from it wouldn't really help. Drawing speed from celestial and planetary bodies, on the other hand... That is of course if the weight of the item moving is taken into account. If not, a gunshot would probably land The Flash more enegy than most things floating through space. Obviously, The Flash's powers are very limited. There's no way he could ever harness such power.
I did. but it still makes sense. goku never faces anything on a scale like superman. even if the science is off, goku couldn't handle superman. superman can keep up with the flash as some pretty insane levels, where as the fastest goku can move is with instant transmission, which has several limits.super can lift trillions upon trillions upon trillions upon trillions or tons, and goku cant. while he does habe vast strength super man can power up even farther and in a much faster manner. and lets be honest, goku is a moron where as superman is not. so yeah still giving it to supes. and no I'm not basing all of my info on db. I do research as well. and its painfully obvious
Writers would never actually do that since what would be the point of the Flash as a character. If he isn't the fastest, then what is the point? Superman being the fastest would seriously damage the image of The Flash.
Im so glad your still with us Drake. we could have not lost you. you are just too good of a man to be lost in this world. I dont really care if youtubers die or leave but your one of the 5 I really dont want to see go. your a great man and you have not only educated me, but millions of other people. so if your on here, twitch or not even the internet i wish you the best of luck youve helped me get through some tough times and i just wanted to say. Thank you so so much.
Superman in a race can always excersise caution because flash has a speed force aura protecting him and the surrounding but Superman has nothing of that sort , so if he ran as fast as the fastest flash ,he would destroy the earth
@@jamesleblanc4048 Oh that's interesting. I didn't know that. All I remember was reading somewhere that "Superman's body can endure the force of a supernova" and I always assumed he survives at extreme speeds because of that. But a magnetic aura? I'm gonna have to look that up.
Ok the first video of yours that I watched was about Krypton's GL, which was a question I never considered and which you answered well. THIS question was one I already knew the answer to and yet your video was just as entertaining. Good job. And bonus points for getting to the point without an annoyingly long intro.
@@graviton6436 How isn't that impressive? An attosecond is to a second what a second is to the age of the universe, if u were immortal living in an attosecond, u would live out the age of the universe
7:24 I feel offended Drake, I read comics and watch your stuff. It helps me keep in touch with other series that I may not be picking up or missed or are several decades old.
Besides, if Flash wanted to play dirty, he could just take Superman's kinetic movement from him, adding it to his own so it be like..Speed Force Connection + superman's at the moment kinetic energy
Dear god, I was just wondering this as I was going to bed last night. Drake, have you been reading my thoughts? On the topic at hand: If speedsters are categorically faster, then wouldn't that potentially make The Flash stronger than Superman? Basic physics tell us that force = mass x acceleration. If this is the case, then wouldn't The Flash be always able to punch Superman harder than Supes could ever reciprocate, and dodge any of Superman's attacks? Scientifically speaking, Superman should never be able to beat Flash all-out.
I don’t think you can use science with Flash since scientifically speaking a human can’t move anywhere near that fast without dying that is a good thought
@@dmofromtherd1654 exactly, I don't think you could use real life physics... It's like with FTL travel, u can't move faster than that and still have mass and you will now be moving back in time not forward.
You forgot one in Superman Grounded storyline. A mind controled Flash started making the surroundings look like Krypton because of the mind control and Superman needed to catch him. Which he did.
But what if Superman was a green/blue lantern, was the herald of Galactus, had Shazam's powers, and had Thor's hammer, would he be fast enough THEN? Speed Force: Haha! No.
This is a great video and I'm glad you put it to bed, but I do have a question. What about Shazam/Captain Marvel? He has the "Speed of Mercury" which is a god level power. Does the speed of a God exceed the speed force? If I recall correctly the realm of the Gods exists outside the multiverse and isn't constrained by the Speed Force.
Definitely not. In comic books gods aren't nearly as powerful as the superheroes themselves. Superman and even Batman have beaten some. Also the speed force is the force of motion witch means it contains infinite speed. If I recall correctly, the speed force exists outside of the multiverse too. So Shazam with the Speed of Mercury is fast, but not speedforce/flash fast.
I was expecting you to say "Because Speedforce" - followed by a pitch to buy your stickers. Not sure why, I don't think you've ever mentioned them before in your videos. Your shirts, yeah. Stickers? No - have you ever said "Because Speedforce"? Do other people? Either way, I enjoyed the video. Great job!
I have a question can flash run at a faster speed than mjolnir returning to Thor, for example if mjolnir and flash were in America and Thor was in China and Thor suddenly summoned mjolnir would flash be able to make it to Thor before it and could Thor's hammer build up enough speed to some how surpass flash
Ike Rants Is this a general question that anyone in the comment section can answer or is this directly a question for Comic Drake? If it's a general question i'd like think any of the speedsters except for maybe Jay Garrick would be a whole lot faster than Mjolnir.
From what I can tell, speedsters can draw power from the concept of time. Since Mjolnir doesn't instantly teleport, its limited to the dimension of time, which it cannot sway or manipulate. Since that is exactly what speedsters do, I'd say it's fair to say that The Flash is significantly faster. Of course, as I don't even read comics, my thought's really aren't worth much.
What about Supermans abilities being able to increase from the sun? With his abilities possibly not having a cap is it possible that the sun could increase his super speed to be faster than the flash?
Green IZanger yup. listen flash is the fastest hero on earth it will always be that way simply because of the nature of the speed force, in the vacuum of space superman has also out ran teleportation and he also had a convo with the flash in the space between attoseconds...take it from this line "I feel like this world is made of cardboard" theoretically yes he could be faster than a flash but by dc science not on earth flash is hands down the king of speed in the league
So what about Captain Marvel/Shazam? The M is for Mercury (after all) and they did a little cute comic thing with the Flash in the movie's closing credits.
Even if Superman could keep up to a Speedster, he's ignite the atmosphere thru his friction with the air; Speedforce negates that - if I recall - so he can't even try his hardest on Earth. The Flash is faster...because Speedforce
Superman is faster... during the times when the speed force is inaccessible, otherwise it's just no contest between the two due to how much speed the speed force gives the Flash.
Eugenideddis Flash is always faster, his top speed vs superman's top speed flash wins hands down, he's faster than instant teleportation in 'Flash the human race'
Eugenideddis Granted the speed he took from everyone on earth, but still in another comic he evacuated half a million Koreans from an atomic bomb in .00001 microseconds, miles away from the blast
That's like saying the Flash is stronger than superman if you remove the energy of a yellow sun from supes. It's the source of their powers, so taking either away makes the comparison pointless.
Lazzy 38 Shazam is actually slower. Shazam is shown to be about as fast as silver surfer, who is slower than the flash. Also the god of speed (who gave Shazam his speed) is about as fast as Wally west at their top speeds. But the god of speed didn’t give Shazam all his speed. Neither did he get all the strength of atlas. Otherwise superman wouldn’t even be a challenge to Shazam because he could just use a finger and still destroy superman.
I never understood how Superman is even comparable to flash in speed. I mean, think about their origins for a second, one was raised on an alien planet with an extremely harsh environment and the other was literally struck by radioactive lightning which gave him a connection to speed and time itself. The flash is then shown to be able to run fast enough to break the laws of physics constantly by phasing through objects, traveling back in time, creating duplicates of himself, and traveling across dimensions even. This is compared to the guy who is know for being “faster than a speeding bullet”
Sjono But doesn't the speed force come from its own separate universe, separate from that of the DC universe? The Flash is able to tap into it, meaning regardless of the universe, the Flash will always be able to access the speed force.
😂😂😂 supermans speed is no where near Flash. Besides if the flash ever versed superman don't think that superman would win cuz In the crossover reverse flash said he fought super man he never said it was that hard Barry is faster then reverse flash so Barry would probably win if he outsmarted super man
The Flash is the fastest... Superman= epitome of superheris. Some realms, he is faster. He is great at everything. But The Flashes main power is speed so flash IIIISS faster.
There was a comic, don’t ask me which because I forgot, where Barry Alan came back and raced Wally West. This race was tearing apart the multiverse so the JLA was trying to stop it. Superman tried to catch them but failed, saying “They were too fast”
If the DC universe has no speed limit, then Superman can accelerate to infinity speed, what speedsters can do is accelerate faster, but they all have speed limits.
sagely Demonologist no. He became many thousands of times stronger than before. But the only truly omnipotent characters in DC are Lucifer Morningstar and the Presence.
Level Z no he is not like why the hell does people think that the dude barely has done anything plus the fact that they give him powers that he never had in the first place
You are missing something extremely important, Superman has repeatedly shown hes faster than any speedster could ever hope to be in all forms of media. In the comics he's traveled across the length of the galaxy in minutes when it takes thousands of years for light to travel the same distance, in the movies hes reversed time by flying around the earth so fast that he broke the light barrier and started going back in time and in Justice League he totally showed he was faster than the flash by getting the drop on him when he was trying to get the drop on Superman, had the Flash's reflexes been just a little off he would have been paste. Flash for all his strengths is just a man, Superman is essentially written as a god without any limits because hes more of a concept then a character. An ideal that can always pushed further than everybody else.

I knew the answer and skipped right to 7:14 to the answer I already knew.
i knew the answer also since i have the flash rebirth in my collection, but the explanation of the concept of speed force is new to me.
Superman’s kinetic energy is part of the speed force, so if the Flash fully taps into the speed force, he will have all of Superman’s speed and more
The answer is Batman.
If it’s hishe’s batman then yes
Fluffypro agree
Because he’s Batman
No its patrick

Does the speed of a God exceed the speed force? If I recall correctly the realm of the Gods exists outside the multiverse and isn't constrained by the Speed Force.
That's just a saying like "The Invincible Ironman". Its not being literal.
Definitely not. In comic books gods aren't nearly as powerful as the superheroes themselves. Superman and even Batman have beaten some. Also the speed force is the force of motion witch means it contains infinite speed. If I recall correctly, the speed force exists outside of the multiverse too. So Shazam with the Speed of Mercury is fast, but not speedforce/flash fast.
@@muyiduyi2287 but mercury is faster than flash or hermes may anyway both are kinda same
@@pranomadityagogoi1145 Probably not Wally West.
@@muyiduyi2287 wally is the fastest but he cant leave barry in the dust. Idk who was it, but thats what mercury did
I was expecting you to say "Because Speedforce" - followed by a pitch to buy your stickers. Not sure why, I don't think you've ever mentioned them before in your videos. Your shirts, yeah. Stickers? No - have you ever said "Because Speedforce"? Do other people? Either way, I enjoyed the video. Great job!
0:39 Can we just talk about how Bruce is specifically rooting for Barry? 😂
Hey Drake... does this new batch of videos mean you're feeling better? I really hope so and wish you all the good feelings in the world!
Superman is my favourite character. Idrc if flash is faster, all I want to know that is superman is extremely fast
"Can Superman outrun The Flash?"
"Uh, sure. Why not?"
Lynn da harrell stop smoking crack
Hypothetical question: Could Sonic the Hedgehog use the speed force if he was in the DC universe?
2 things:
1 Superman is broken as all hell
2 While I see where you're getting at, he has nothing to do with this.
Nope.
WatcherPlays90 Archie Sonic is actually faster than Flash
You got proof of that mate?
WatcherPlays90 STAHP
The fastest man alive, but just about everyone seems to be faster than him
5:20 chad moment
Hey hey hey now! I read the comics religiously I just like watching your vids!
Since Mark Waid introduced the Speed Force, I say Flash.
Superman is so powerful everywhere else, I say let Flash win this!!!
The fact that speed is flashes only power and superman can keep up with him and its not even supermans best super power says alot.
I have a question can flash run at a faster speed than mjolnir returning to Thor, for example if mjolnir and flash were in America and Thor was in China and Thor suddenly summoned mjolnir would flash be able to make it to Thor before it and could Thor's hammer build up enough speed to some how surpass flash
Ike Rants Is this a general question that anyone in the comment section can answer or is this directly a question for Comic Drake? If it's a general question i'd like think any of the speedsters except for maybe Jay Garrick would be a whole lot faster than Mjolnir.
From what I can tell, speedsters can draw power from the concept of time. Since Mjolnir doesn't instantly teleport, its limited to the dimension of time, which it cannot sway or manipulate. Since that is exactly what speedsters do, I'd say it's fair to say that The Flash is significantly faster.
Of course, as I don't even read comics, my thought's really aren't worth much.
Mjolnir can go 3 times FTL. Flash is a lot faster.
Superman is faster then flash however with sundips/ stardips there's no competition.
But Wally west is the fastest Character in dc comics
Fastest being in fiction as far as I’m aware
It should never make sense for Superman to beat someone who has traveled in “plank time”. ( shortest amount of time possible)
3:20 who the hell runs like that!?
Flash has speed force, Superman has plot armor
Since when does supes have plot armor batman is the one with plot armor
"Those were for charity"
By your logic, the first flash isn’t a speedster because he doesn’t use the speedforce. He is the only flash that can channel his speed without it.
Do a video on who the fastest flash is.
The Dragon it's wally west
DC admit that Wally is the fastest Flash
The Dragon Wally west.
Bart Allen
The flash is faster than instant teleportation so I'd say yes.
"Those were for charity, Clarke"
Here’s the only thing you really need to know the slowest flash beat Superman in a race so if Wally West can do it, any flash can
What about Supermans abilities being able to increase from the sun? With his abilities possibly not having a cap is it possible that the sun could increase his super speed to be faster than the flash?
Green IZanger It still wouldn't. Barry and Wally have insane speed feats. Even with a blue sun Superman would still lose.
Green IZanger yup. listen flash is the fastest hero on earth it will always be that way simply because of the nature of the speed force, in the vacuum of space superman has also out ran teleportation and he also had a convo with the flash in the space between attoseconds...take it from this line "I feel like this world is made of cardboard" theoretically yes he could be faster than a flash but by dc science not on earth flash is hands down the king of speed in the league
Green IZanger speed force is literally infinite energy
So.... we're gonna ignore that Superman traveled from Vega to Earth in roughly 10 minutes? Ok then...
*Those were for charity Clark*
Drunk drake is pretty awesome, not gonna lie
well that and smallville
So what about Captain Marvel/Shazam? The M is for Mercury (after all) and they did a little cute comic thing with the Flash in the movie's closing credits.
speedforce suit Superman had one in smalleville
Gam Kramawitana what
Gam Kramawitana superman with speedforce suit
Flash wars made things very clear now and it aint even a competition
Didn't Sups race Jay at some point i feel like he also did and beat sups as well.
Barely. Jay is slightly faster.
Jacob Fennell From what we know of Flashes/Speedsters, that makes sense though. I'd wager the Quicks would tie, if not lose by a hair, too.
Quicksilver would get destroyed. He can only go mach 10. Superman's top speed is the speed of light.
Jacob Fennell more than
Even if Superman could keep up to a Speedster, he's ignite the atmosphere thru his friction with the air; Speedforce negates that - if I recall - so he can't even try his hardest on Earth.
The Flash is faster...because Speedforce
Superman is faster... during the times when the speed force is inaccessible, otherwise it's just no contest between the two due to how much speed the speed force gives the Flash.
Eugenideddis Well, when Superman is affected by green kryptonite Flash is faster.
Eugenideddis Flash is always faster, his top speed vs superman's top speed flash wins hands down, he's faster than instant teleportation in 'Flash the human race'
Sam Iurillo I was joking by saying the one possible scenario where Superman is faster, when Flash doesn't have powers
Eugenideddis Granted the speed he took from everyone on earth, but still in another comic he evacuated half a million Koreans from an atomic bomb in .00001 microseconds, miles away from the blast
That's like saying the Flash is stronger than superman if you remove the energy of a yellow sun from supes. It's the source of their powers, so taking either away makes the comparison pointless.
Flash is faster but only until someone writes a comic where Superman taps the speed force.
before video: *no.*
After video: *still no.*
Flash vs Superman vs Sonic the Hedgehog vs Road Runner
Just my humble opinion. But still, the Flash wins over all of those, in a pure race without any interference of any kind.
the flash can run 10 times faster than the speed of running
He's the runnerest man alive!
I don’t read the comics often because there are tens of thousands, and finding them all to read in order just isn’t worth it
I always knew flash was faster that superman (and I like flash way more)
WilllDude 3 i know flash is faster but shazam is faster than flash 😂😂 so he's not the fastest man alive
Alien X i was drunk when i wrote that comment sorry 😂😂
AmpFibian true but that was wally west who out ran teleportation not barry allen but still both of them are faster than supes
Lazzy 38 Shazam is actually slower. Shazam is shown to be about as fast as silver surfer, who is slower than the flash. Also the god of speed (who gave Shazam his speed) is about as fast as Wally west at their top speeds. But the god of speed didn’t give Shazam all his speed. Neither did he get all the strength of atlas. Otherwise superman wouldn’t even be a challenge to Shazam because he could just use a finger and still destroy superman.
I never understood how Superman is even comparable to flash in speed. I mean, think about their origins for a second, one was raised on an alien planet with an extremely harsh environment and the other was literally struck by radioactive lightning which gave him a connection to speed and time itself.
The flash is then shown to be able to run fast enough to break the laws of physics constantly by phasing through objects, traveling back in time, creating duplicates of himself, and traveling across dimensions even. This is compared to the guy who is know for being “faster than a speeding bullet”
Gary stu or plot armor
If Quicksilver raced Flash in the Marvel universe, Quicksilver would win because the Speed Force doesn't exist in the Marvel universe
Sjono but quicksilver would lose to the flash on any DC universe where the speed force is present
Sjono But doesn't the speed force come from its own separate universe, separate from that of the DC universe? The Flash is able to tap into it, meaning regardless of the universe, the Flash will always be able to access the speed force.
ohh yeah true it is it's own universe
No, The Flash has to literally charge up speed force energy before going outside the DC multiverse, otherwise he has no speed.
I don't think so sir
the only reason the justice League “got stop instantly" is probably cuz flash and Superman wasn't there
😂😂😂 supermans speed is no where near Flash. Besides if the flash ever versed superman don't think that superman would win cuz In the crossover reverse flash said he fought super man he never said it was that hard Barry is faster then reverse flash so Barry would probably win if he outsmarted super man
+King Savage, Well yeah, that is literally the point of the video.
Comic Drake ok
I love them both but to let you know, Barry can’t outsmart Superman he’s smarter than Batman he just limits himself so everybody else can shine
If Flash weren't faster than Superman there would be no point of his character existing and being apart of the justice league...
The Flash is the fastest...
Superman= epitome of superheris. Some realms, he is faster. He is great at everything. But The Flashes main power is speed so flash IIIISS faster.
only on foot.. sups fly faster
@@0mniscientJ0bin obviously he flys faster because flash doesn't fly
@@0mniscientJ0bin wow who fucking knew Superman flew faster than flash NO WAY. it’s not like the flash doesn’t fly or his main thing is Idk running.
In a running race: Flash wins. If Superman gets to fly: He wins. Superman never really runs unless you watches Smallville.
No, Superman's running speed is roughly mach 9000. His flying speed is lighspeed. Flash is significantly faster.
Great video
There was a comic, don’t ask me which because I forgot, where Barry Alan came back and raced Wally West. This race was tearing apart the multiverse so the JLA was trying to stop it. Superman tried to catch them but failed, saying “They were too fast”
Flash War
Batman is faster
lucas tatlock probably lol, could harness alll the speed force energy that exists and scatter all 52 universes or something
lucas tatlock He failed to beat Doctor Zoom even with super speed in the Batman: Brave and Bold cartoon.
😂😂😂
there will a person in every comment with Batman being worthy of everything
Because he’s Batman
If the DC universe has no speed limit, then Superman can accelerate to infinity speed, what speedsters can do is accelerate faster, but they all have speed limits.
speedforce protects others Superman would destroy the earth
That edit at the top right was pretty swanky
Keep up the great videos
Future Superman is omnipotent.
That is all.
sagely Demonologist no he's not
roland ngom
Except he is.
Read the actual comics.
sagely Demonologist except he isn't, even Dr Manhattan isn't
sagely Demonologist no. He became many thousands of times stronger than before. But the only truly omnipotent characters in DC are Lucifer Morningstar and the Presence.
That doesn't make him faster, nice try though
Well Superman can't travel the speed of light when the flash can travel 13 trillion times faster the speed of light.
Nope
Shadow Thief Yep.
Adventist I watched the whole video.I also just knew that flash is faster.
comic drake I'm in the hospital and got a message that you put a video up and was like 😀😀😀. so keep up the good work. love from Ireland 🍀🍀🍀
Comic Drake Thank you Drake. thank you
superman prime one million is faster
Level Z yea no
Level Z no he is not like why the hell does people think that the dude barely has done anything plus the fact that they give him powers that he never had in the first place
Super is like quintillion times the speed of light still not faster than flash
ANG3L 120 yeah he is and *if* there was a flash prime onemillion.....he would be faster than super man prime one million
You are missing something extremely important, Superman has repeatedly shown hes faster than any speedster could ever hope to be in all forms of media. In the comics he's traveled across the length of the galaxy in minutes when it takes thousands of years for light to travel the same distance, in the movies hes reversed time by flying around the earth so fast that he broke the light barrier and started going back in time and in Justice League he totally showed he was faster than the flash by getting the drop on him when he was trying to get the drop on Superman, had the Flash's reflexes been just a little off he would have been paste. Flash for all his strengths is just a man, Superman is essentially written as a god without any limits because hes more of a concept then a character. An ideal that can always pushed further than everybody else.
Did you really need to type that in all caps?
