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

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.

It's not only impossible to believe Quicksilver would ever need anyone's help it's impossible to believe he'd TOLERATE them getting involved Standing there waiting for Wolverine's claws to very slowly extend while his face is going "NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOO" over the course of an hour

read a pulp novel once where aeons ago a hero was cursed to become a speedster *who could never turn it off* it took him a hundred years to listen to you say "yes" he would go through hideous magical tortures just to make time pass faster all he wanted was to die

Unfortunately this, itself, has become a whole burgeoning genre of particularly disturbing Wattpad smut involving (at the very least) the voyeurism fetish David Foster Wallace wrote one of his Brief Interviews with Hideous Men about it

This concept and the Romance genre should be nowhere near each other.
