May 2024 · 4 minute read

The Flash is faster than the speed of light and the speed of sound. The DC comic character is also faster than the speed of a bullet and a tornado.

The fastest Flash is believed to be Wally West, the third Flash. He is faster than the speed force, the source of energy of the Flash, making him easily the fastest Flash there is.

How Fast Can The Flash Run?

The Flash can run faster than the fastest jet aircraft in the world, namely the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. The Flash can also run faster than the Concorde, a supersonic airliner jointly developed by French and British companies in the 70s. The Flash can also run faster than the speed of a bullet and can intercept a tornado.

To further demonstrate, the Flash is so fast that the unit of measurement used to record his speed is that used for sound, i.e., Mach. The Flash can reach speeds of 1.079 billion kilometers per hour (Kph) or Mach 874,031. (1 Mach = 1234.8)

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird only reaches speeds of Mach 3.3, about 3,500 (Kph), making the Flash obviously faster than it. The Concorde airliner also traveled at speeds of Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h which obviously shows that the Flash can go faster.

The Flash can also run faster than the speed of sound. At 20 °C, the speed of sound in air is about 343 meters per second. The Flash can move at speeds of about 1633 meters per second, showing that the Flash is about four times the speed of sound.

The speed of the Flash is truly so amazing that he is faster than the speed of light. Light travels at a speed of about (1.07 billion) kilometers per hour which the Flash slightly surpasses at 1.079 billion kilometers per hour.

Who is the Fastest Flash?

The fastest Flash is Wally West, the third Flash. The first and second Flash are college athlete Jay Garrick and forensic scientist Barry Allen while the fourth and fifth are Barry’s grandson, Bart Allen, and Chinese-American Avery Ho.

Wally West is Barry’s nephew. Wally is so fast that he can outrun death and travel faster than light. He can stop time as well. In fact, Wally West is faster than the speed force, the source of the power of all ‘Flashes’, making him easily the fastest Flash there is.

How Did The Flash Get His Powers?

The Flash got his powers after being struck by lightning at the age of 18. Going by the story in the comics, he was working in a science lab when a particularly bad storm started. They were several flashes of lightning, and one lightning bolt struck him. The effect of the strike gave him his superhuman powers.

However, in the movie, the Flash got his powers after he was doused in unidentified chemicals stored in the forensic laboratory where he was working. The lightning bolt struck the cabinet, and he was consequently drenched in the chemical and received superhuman powers, notably his speed.

Who is Faster, The Flash or Quicksilver?

The Flash is faster than his fellow D.C. personality, Quicksilver. Quicksilver is a former villain turned superhero who has superhuman speeds. He has appeared in several X-Men movies and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Quicksilver can ordinarily run at the speed of sound, which is 343 km per second, but a later exposure to the High Evolutionary’s Isotope E made it possible for him to be capable of running at speeds of up to Mach 10. The Flash easily trumps this at Mach 874,031, meaning that the Flash is many times faster than Quicksilver.

Who is Faster, Superman or the Flash?

The Flash is faster than Superman. These two superheroes have raced each other on multiple occasions in movies, comics, and animations, and the Flash has got the upper hand on more occasions than Superman.

However, in a justice league movie, Superman can see The Flash’s attack coming and stave it off, giving the impression that he is faster, but this is not true. Superman is faster than a bullet, but the Flash is faster than the speed of light.

Who is Faster Than the Flash?

When it comes to speed, The Flash is in a world of himself. He competes mostly with himself and no others. Therefore the personalities that are regarded as being faster than the Flash are different variants of the Flash itself, such as Black Flash, Bart Allen, Iris West II, Future Flash, and Wally West.

Other personalities believed to be faster than the Flash are Walter West, Savitar, Hermes, Hunter Zolomon, Daniel West, Black Racer, and Amazo.
