it’s gonna take something a little
faster than a speeding bullet to catch
these characters welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 fastest
superheroes before we begin we publish
new content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list will be ranking the
superheroes who have been graced with
SuperSpeed and who used that gift to
reach speeds faster than other
characters with similar skills we’ll be
taking into account characters from both
Marvel and DC for this list although
we’ll be saving supervillains for a list
of their own somewhere down the line
number 10 Supergirl
Kara zor-el aka Supergirl shares a lot
of similarities with her Kryptonian
cousins Superman and now she’s pretty
freakin fast in fact her top speeds
clock her at around 2 miles a second
which is slower than Clark but more than
fast enough for Supergirl to get the
crime-fighting job done Superman may be
the last Son of Krypton but he isn’t the
only superhero faster than a speeding
number nine living lightning if you’ve
ever tried to follow a lightning bolt
with your eyes as it streaks across the
sky then you can only imagine how fast
that energy must be moving right now
imagine a superhero with the power to
move at such a speed and you have an
idea as to the abilities of our next
entry living lightning sure Miguel
Santos may have been a lesser-known
Avenger but this doesn’t change the fact
that his superpowers enable him to
travel over 61 miles a second
making him a valuable guy to have around
in a fight number eight for since we’ve
already mentioned lightning how about
adding a little thunder into the mix the
god of thunder to be exact
Thor may be known for his immense power
and endurance as a member of the
Asgardian Pantheon but perhaps lesser
mentioned is this superheroes incredible
speed he may not be technically faster
than someone like living lightning with
top speeds being said to reach nearly
seven miles per second but what do you
want to go up against someone built like
Thor with a temper like Thor’s and able
to stick and move with this rate of
speed yeah we didn’t think so
number seven Silver Surfer
[Music]
they say that in space no one can hear
you scream but in the case of Norrin
Radd aka Silver Surfer no one can see
him move either that’s because this
former Herald of Galactus can actually
fly faster than the speed of light
moving at over 186,000 miles per second
this is thanks largely to the surface
manipulation of the power cosmic whereby
he can actually fly so fast that he can
bend space and time even managing to
take others with him during
time-traveling missions and that’s not
even taking into account the other
fringe benefits of the power cosmic
which includes superhuman senses
strength and endurance number six North
Star and aurora when it comes to
fighting evil with the x-men having
someone with SuperSpeed on your side is
good but having two is even better
that’s where Alpha Flight alumni North
Star and Aurora come in as both are
amongst the Marvel Universe’s fastest
superheroes
North Star in particular can adapt to
kinetic energy around him to move at
rates approaching the speed of light
while also possessing the superhuman
endurance an equilibrium necessary to
safely maintain these speeds during
battle although Aurora is slightly
slower than her twin sibling these two
as a team are certainly bad news to any
supervillain unfortunate enough to get
in their way
number 5 Shazam Billy Batson may not
possess super speed as a young boy but
he need only speak aloud the magic word
Shazam to be transformed into a god-like
being formerly known as Captain Marvel
who possesses incredible powers from the
world of mythology one of these powers
is the speed of mercury the Roman
messenger God which allows Shazam to
move so fast that he’s able to travel
safely through outer space while also
being undetected by the naked human eye
at the end of the day Shazam is so fast
that he gives Superman a run for his
money
which is really saying something number
4 Quicksilver you didn’t see that coming
Quicksilver has been a mainstay of the
Marvel Universe for years now and has
even appeared in two different film
franchises within the MCU proving that
Pietro Maximoff popularity isn’t running
away anytime soon
speaking of running maximov’s powers of
SuperSpeed have been clocked at Super
Girl levels of around two and a half
miles per second now this may not be all
that fast against some of the other
light speeding characters we’ve
mentioned but MCU iterations of
Quicksilver more than make up for it in
style want proof just watch Evan Peters
performance as the character in any of
Fox’s x-men films
unstuff was cool it was disgusting
speeding bullets have nothing on the Man
of Steel with speeds approaching over
2,000 miles per second Superman is the
og when it comes to comic characters
with SuperSpeed Clark Kent has also used
his abilities in unique and inventive
ways as well such as the classic scene
in the character’s 1978 film adaptation
which saw Superman
actually turn back time by flying around
the earth in order to save his beloved
Lois Lane from death forget for a moment
that this is scientifically impossible
it’s the sentiment of the act which
speaks volumes not only for soup speed
but his heart number 2 Macari some
superheroes on this list simply possess
SuperSpeed as just one of their many
incredible abilities Marvel’s Macari is
a bit different however as this
character is obsessed with speed to the
point where it has actually lessened
some of his other abilities Macari is an
eternal and as such already possesses
incredible strength and endurance
however his dedication to focusing all
of his cosmic energy to approach near
light speeds has resulted in much of
that strength being sapped away in the
process in makaras case maybe is better
to do one thing and to do it well than
to be a jack of all trades master of
none number one the flash ultimately we
couldn’t deny DC’s iconic Scarlet
speedster the top spot after all what
other superhero has been so closely
associated with high-velocity action
than the flash Jay Garrick Wally West
Barry Allen and more have all taken up
the mantle in the past and as the flash
have all been able to exceed light
speeds sometimes moving so fast that
their bodies can literally vibrate
through solid matter and travel through
time thanks to the Speed Force simply
stated the flash is super speed it
defines him making it a no brainer to
list him as our number one pick do you
