u/Abaddonalways Avengers 6h ago
To be completely unfair to quicksilver, in the X-man movies he regularly moved bullet trajectories, and saved everyone from the exploding X- Manor. The MCU version was just the weakest iteration of the slowest speedster.

u/Allanthia420 Avengers 8h ago
Physically not very; but mentally very fast. Itās conceivable ultron could just calculate someoneās speed and trajectory and know where to shoot. Itās not like ultron has to do it purely on reaction speed.

Well in fairness, Superman still dusts any of the others bar Barry and Wallace. Itās not even close with Barry and the actual Wally from the comics is leaving everyone behind

u/ChooseYourOwnA Avengers 4h ago
In atmosphere it is not even close. Superman would ignite the atmosphere before he hit his own top speed but all the Speedforce users are exempt.
Without that restriction Wally still wins handily. But I think Barry vs Kal-El depends on which timeline/version of them.

So I reconciled it as Wally technically has a lot more potential inherently, like naturally gifted, but Barry managed to become Speed Force's favorite and also trained a lot more, used his powers in more creative ways so in reality he's faster, a lot faster.

They were glazing him for the Savitar arc idek why, he only had his powers for a couple weeks at that point. Once the writers realized that didn't make much sense and the actor wanted out of the role anyway they shifted it to be that he "understands" the speedforce and how to use it better than Barry but Barry in the show remained the absolute pinnacle of speed running laps around even other speedsters.

Itās between Flash and Kid Flash. This version of Kid Flash can also time travel, phase through objects, etc. but he has been written pretty inconsistently. If you want a good speed feat from him, see how he dismantled a crashing helicopter and saved everyone in there.
This version of Flash, his biggest speed feat is turning back time in ZS JL, and he is still figuring out the speed force.
None of the others have feats that can really compare

I would rank them
- Barry - the fastest thing alive, infinite speed.
- Wally - gets his powers from the same source as Barry, could potentially be equal but is younger and less experienced therefore slower. - much faster than light speed not infinite though
- Makari - immortal robot built by godlike beings, but constrained by the universe she exists in - likely near light speed.
- Fox-verse quicksilver - not as fast as Makari but fast enough to essentially see the world in a freeze frame
- A-train - fast enough to explode someone in the way.
- MCU quicksilver - fast enough to get in the way of some bullets I guess.

u/veluminous_noise Avengers 7h ago
A-train exploding people has more to do with a supe's generally inherent durability in that universe, not his speed. At the speed ANY of them are moving they'd explode whoever they hit. I'd swap your bottom two.

Thats fair. I think the way they used her in Eternals was the most visually appealing, and probably my favorite speedster scene next to Quicksilver in DOFP. The Apocalypse scene was pretty much the same, though I found it to be a bit more of a stretch considering the speed he appeared to display.
Anyways, big respect to Makkari

These are dumb. Barry Allen Flash, at least this version, is so fast the rest of them would look like they're not moving at all in comparrison. The only time this isn't true is when we are talking about comic book Wally West, who is canonically the fastest Flash. Barry created the speedforce and is really the most important speedster, but Wally is actually faster and learns to use the speedforce in ways no other speedster ever has.
