In an strange change of events, rather than being challenged by football players for the title of "fastest man alive", Usain Bolt has challenged these so called "Peak Human/Olympic Level" Superheroes to a 100m dash.
The race takes place at the Jamaican National Stadium.
The following Superheroes show up for the challenge.
Lane 1: Nightwing
Lane 2: Green Arrow
Lane 3: Batman
Lane 4: Usain Bolt
Lane 5: Captain America
Lane 6: Iron Fist
Lane 7: Black Panther
Lane 8: Dare Devil
Lane 9: Hawkeye
- Let's assume Usain repeats his World Record performance of 9.58. Can any of these heroes beat him? What's your finishing order?
Edit: Black Panther has herb, and Iron Fist has Chi... can either challenge Cap?
Fastest Man Alive
If you do the math then you will discover that 100m in 9.58 seconds is 23 mph
Even conservative estimates of Cap's speed place him at double that. Some estimates put him at almost triple.
Usain is going to look like a fool issuing this challenge.
Don't try and compare Real world Athletes to Comic book peak humans.
@ChaosBlazer: Yeah I wasn't about to make a Flash thread, lol. Do you have feats/scans of how fast Nightwing is? I honestly didn't think he was that fast.
@Yai_Inn: meh, only because of his acrobatics. but this is a race, so idk. he doesnt really have any running feats
That's 23 mph while also including the start up speed. Top speed is closer to 28 mph. Still though you're right Cap would win. I think Bolt would be second though. He is the peak human runner, I think the others are either with him or just behind him.

@Shawnbaby: I see. I had my maths wrong. I was thinking in kilometers per hour. Placing Cap at 50ish and Usain just shy of 40ish... my bad. I would still love to see scans of Cap's running speed, if you have any.
@ChaosBlazer: Yeah I wasn't about to make a Flash thread, lol. Do you have feats/scans of how fast Nightwing is? I honestly didn't think he was that fast.
Actually i had my maths wrong too..I didn't factor in Acceleration. Usain's top speed would actually be about 27mph
As for Cap's running speed i could only find one example. Finding specific scans regarding run speed is difficult
I was thinking along the same lines. That most of the others are extremely good parkour runners but not necessarily sprinters.@Yai_Inn: meh, only because of his acrobatics. but this is a race, so idk. he doesnt really have any running feats
@Shawnbaby: Thanks, those scans were sweet.
@karetaker: I was just thinking that, Panther with herd, or Iron Fist with Chi.. will edit OP.
Cap and BP are enhanced. They'd be disqualified. We're talking peak humans. I'd say Nightwing might make it a fight, but his real speed feats are combat speed. Daredevil and Bats have also posted some impressive speed feats, but again..in combat. Straight line speed? I'd say all 3 of those I've mentioned would win legitimately.
