So about 10 times the speed of sound. That sounds right. I don't think a normal human would perceive it that differently from light speed tbh. But it is millions of times slower.

Actually, about 10,000x the speed of sound

See...arithmetic was never my strong suit. But yes, very fast. Much faster than human reactions. But not, speedster level fast.

Yeah, Flash's power is basically infinite godmagic

Yes, Speedsters are OP. Flash can move faster than instant teleportation. Quicksilver moves so fast he basically exists in a separate dimension. That's ignoring how they can hit with infinite force and must necessarily be made of an unimaginably durable material.

The Quicksilver scenes in the X-Men movies were so much fun because they made so little sense

Anyone can work this out - if Quicksilver yanks you out of the way of a bullet while moving many times faster than the bullet (which we can see traveling slow as molasses) then him grabbing you is going to damage you way way worse than the bullet would've

It's functionally a Time Stop.

The best part is that he can STILL do the "zip so fast it's like teleportation" thing INSIDE the time stop His superspeed is recursive, he can use "superspeed" while relaxed and from his POV walking around normally, then invokes HYPERspeed when he's in a real hurry

This has been invoked a lot as a cool over-the-top way to demonstrate how "general superhumans like Superman (or the Vision) are FAST but they're not SPEEDSTERS"

*Superman running after Flash while the world around them is frozen statues* "You can't run forever, Barry. Remember, I beat you half the time in those World's Fastest Man races" Flash: *turns, running backwards* "Clark. Those races were for charity" *blurs, vanishes*

every single time a speedster does something extremely dumb and illogical they should be required to turn towards the camera and say "and that's, the Speed Force"

I mean the speed force is a get out of jail free card that writers honestly don't use enough! I've seen so many rationalizations in comics that should just be "the Speed Force did it".
