Live action speedsters: Slowest to fastest

7. Faora(MOS)

Note: Technically she is not a speedster, but has demonstrated a degree of super speed.

6. MCU Quicksilver

5. CW Flash

4. DOFP Quicksilver

3. CW Reverse Flash

2. Clark Kent(Smallville)

1. Bart Allen(Smallville)

That is my my ranking on the fastest speedsters in live fiction. How would you rank them?

Note: 5 and 6 are probably interchangeable.

I'd exchange 4 with 3, but nice list.

@gxrevolution96: Nice list, pretty accurate too.

pretty spot on

Yeah solid list

Agreed.

how fast was Bart allen in smallville? I know he was fast enough to troll clark running backwards with low effort but how fast can he possibly go?

After the season finale, I think flash is way faster. I mean he was fast enough to create a barrier to block a tsunami, ran fast enough to time travel, and vibrated fast enough to go through a solid object(the truck). Barry is leagues above AOU quicksilver. DOFP Quicksliver is pretty fucking fast too seeing how he was fucking jogging and moving around floating bullets. But I still don't think he's faster than Barry.

I haven't smallville so idk how fast Clark and Bart are in that show.

Very good actually. I'd say it's possible that Superman and Zod might be faster than Faora when flying, but if you're referring to ground speed then you got it.

If memory serves Smallville speedsters were fast, BUT like @xxedward_kenwayxx said, throughout the Flash season Barry got faster, and I'd say he'd be right on RFs coat tails or on par so I tie the for 2nd and bump Clark to 3rd/4th. I've got top rewatch the episodes with Bart though, I'd say there are all faster than AOU and DoFP Quicksilvers other than Faora. Personally she wouldnt be on my list and I'd cut it to 5, but your rules/thread.

I never saw smallville but I think DOFP quicksilver is faster than Thawne

Barry is still slower than Thawne even in the Finale.

Strangely I would put Daphne from heroes as she can move in hiro's timespot with sheer virtue of speed alone

Are the smallville characters actually that fast?

The problem with Barry is the same as it was in the comics years ago. He can go that fast, but looses control. The result is that his effective speed gets reduced.

@tyger: Interesting point

Yeah, I pretty much agree with this list.

Yeah.

Clark vs Bart:

I don't know if this is actually FTL, but it's still a good feat:

I think DoFP Quicksilver is faster than CW Thawne.

I think Thawne and Barry's speed on the CW is pretty inconsistent having watched the last few episodes this afternoon.

Flash and Wells' speed are inconsistent, but at their best I'd put them at 1 and 2.

While Barry and RF speed has proved otherwise, Caitlin said that Barry has never moved faster than Mach 2.... which is slower than every one on the list except faora

What you have to consider is that Catlin does recall the events of "Out of Time" where Barry stopped the Tsunami.

not bad

@hyperlight: looking at everything Barry has done, I refuse to believe that was all slower than Mach 2

I think it's case of him moving faster when in the heat of the moment vs when he is being recorded, at least twice maybe 3 times he's been shown avoiding lightning while the lightning was shown to be in motion

Zoom

Well seeing as no-one can remember it.....

She doesn't.

Lol. Oops. I actually meant to say she "doesn't"

@redatom1234: Yeah it is kind of impossible

Didn't professor Stein say he had to move faster than the speed of light to break the time barrier

@americanspeeddemon: I thought thawne said that. Then stein started saying he had to go at Mach 2. Tbh I think it was lazy writing

@redatom1234: I thought stein said it in the Firestorm episode

If the Flash is Faster than light than he is the fastest

@americanspeeddemon: oh sorry I thought you were talking about the particle accelerator. Yeah stein said he had to past light speed to break the time barrier

I don't see how people think DoFP QS was faster than Thawne... He was so fast that he fought himself, and it looked like there were actually two different people.

I'm starting to think you can put Flash and Thawne ahead of DOFP QS

1. CW Flash
2. CW Reverse Flash
3. SV Barry
4. DOFP Quicksilver
5. SV Superman
6. AofU Quicksilver
7. Faora

This seems correct

Agree but would switch 4 and 3

Except that Barry wasn't in Smallville. I don't think CW Flash has any feats to put him above Smallville Clark, let alone Smallville Bart.

@pokeysteve: did you watch the last two episodes?

Yeah, solid list

Clark and Bart are literally light years ahead of their competition though

@americanspeeddemon: UM NO. just no. so much fail

@buttersdaman000: Barry is the only one to break the time barrier

Probable would switch out 3 and 4 but for the most part yeah spot on.

Yeah, I really don't know what to make of that feat......if Barry was already capable of going that fast, and RF was much faster than him, then why did RF need Barry's help to travel back to his time? Then, the whole "science" behind the time travel in the finale, with Barry only needing to reach mach 2, makes me believe that there's something else to CW Flash time travel that isn't solely reliant on speed.

And, besides, Clark's gone ftl before anyways and, I'm sure if anybody bothered to calc all his clark time feats, his speed would be constant or even better.

@buttersdaman000: The two times he traveled through time were different the first time barry was running by himself at a very fast speed, stein stated that the speed needed to travel through time would have to be greater than the speed of light. the second time there was another particle at work, particle accelerators can shoot particles at very high velocities additionally barry wasn't ripped through time like the first time but created a portal.

Also barry is faster travel wise than the reverse flash but RF has too much knowledge of the speed force with years of fighting a more experienced flash this allows him to beat barry.
