Top 20 Fastest Live-Action Speedsters Ranked!

the flash versus Quicksilver has been a staple of comic book matchups and in general people have been debating about which speedster would smoke which now before I get this video started I just wanted to clarify what a speedster is according to the wonderful search engine Google itself a speedster is anything that operates at high speeds so even if some of these characters I am about to list aren't classified in the original source material as a speedster they still are by the general definition so anyone I think of who can fly or run faster than 100 miles per hour or so that was portrayed in live-action will be on this list and just in case you don't know what live-action means it means action involving real people not animations or 2d cartoons so yeah one more time this is a ranked list of live-action speedsters from slowest to fastest not those from the comic books and of that personally offends you for including a non speedster on a speedster list well boohoo cry me a river I'd also like to add two things firstly a spoiler warning for the DC movies Man of Steel Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad and the DC TV shows the flash Supergirl Smallville and legends of tomorrow and basically every other Marvel movie or TV show out there so yeah you've been warned secondly this video came out in the middle of 2017 some characters on this list aren't inevitably destined to get faster as time goes on now that that's out of the way here are 20 of the fastest live-action speedsters ranked number 20 Faora the first one starting off this list is the second-in-command to Zod Faora she was probably in one of the best DC fight scenes to date displaying her impressive tactical training as well as superhuman speed in her fight against Superman in the town of Smallville Faora took on a cluster of soldiers and wiped them out in a matter of seconds you can see just how fast she is here zipping from soldier to soldier and probably killing them in the process I mean look at this juggles combos better than I do in mortal combat actors who played Faora is 5 foot 7 which is about 1.7 meters scaling her height from this camera shot with her surrounding environment we find the she's about 15 point eight three meters from this dude and the time it took her to go from her starting position to sucker punching the guy was about 1/10 of a second meaning she ran over 309 miles per hour the fastest car in the world the Hennessey Venom GT punches up to 270 miles per hour so fiora beats us by almost an extra 40 miles per hour number 19 the rival edward clariss was a metahuman arch-nemesis of the TV shows version of wally west chief flash in the first episode of the flash season 3 the rival was almost an equal match with an inexperienced Wally West suggesting that he was just a little bit slower than the Wally at this point in time he does manage to incapacitate Kid Flash when he's caught off guard and easily creates tornadoes with his pure speed but as soon as taken down by the flash your average tornado has speeds ranging from 40 miles per hour to 100 miles per hour but intent alone can dial at up to 300 miles per hour judging by how fast the rival was able to create a twister it's safe to say that he ran well over 300 miles per hour Cisco claims early on that when Wally West first started training to be faster he was faster than Barry was when he too was a beginner well in the beginning of season 1 Barry claimed that running at 352 miles per hour was a slow day meaning running at this speed was easy for him but a few episodes later and he had to push his limits up to 650 miles per hour to run on water for the first time Cisco statements are really vague but if we consider these as Barry's beginning minimum and maximum outputs respectively then we can find the average speed of an inexperienced very Alan which in turn could be the speed that wally was that if we find the average of these values then we can get a ballpark estimate and while we slightly faster speed finding the average of these two speeches is that Wally would have been able to run over 500 miles per hour since the rattle just under his speed let's just say the rival runs up to 500 miles per hours number 18 Ezra Miller's the flash the DCE version of Barry Allen balls up this list with his remarkable speed we were barely given a cameo of him in both Batman V Superman dawn of Justice and suicide squadron what a scene from the Justice League trailer gives us a hint as to how fast this flash truly is also a huge preface right here again this is just from the trailer alone this character especially is most likely going to shuffle his way on down the list soon but for now all we have is the trailer and actually we don't really have to do that much here in an article title just how fast is the Justice League splash anyway the writers do an in-depth analysis with a bunch of math and comparisons to real-world situations in the end the reporters conclude that for this flash one second and our point of is sixty-two seconds for him now this is the part where I want to introduce and formulate my own equation not just for determining this flashes max speed but also several other speedsters on this list we'll call it the speedster equation V equals six point seven meters per second times T over one second where V stands for velocity and T is the multiplier given in seconds the six point seven comes from the average speed of your typical sprinting human the typical human sprinting speed ranges from 12 to 15 miles per hour since these are all speedsters let's just give them all the benefit of the doubt and make it 15 miles per hour which is six point seven meters per second we can do this because in his perception of time Milas flash seemingly moves around like a regular human when everything else flows down around him if you ran in a straight line for one second in our world at six point seven meters per second that would be 62 seconds for him meaning in one second he could travel over 415 meters or 1.2 times the speed of sound number 17 Keenan Long's Dale's Kid Flash we briefly talked about this guy earlier but that was when he was just starting out as Kid Flash Wally West is a son of both Joe and Francine West and brother of iris West by episode 11 of season 3 Barry suggests that he's just under Mach 3 but seeing that he's gotten faster and faster and how we can face through object now it's implied that he is at or slightly faster than three times the speed of sound still he is notably slower than his girlfriend just be quick as she and Barry Allen both outran him in their practice race or maybe not I mean they claimed that he was fast enough even faster than Barry to take on sabotage but then he gets utterly manhandled later on in the episode so maybe they were wrong you know what I don't know by the time this video comes out the filmmakers probably would've made a new episode already or he's a lot faster or something just just fill in the gaps or so number 16 Jesse quick Jesse quick is a metahuman daughter of Harrison wells who after defeating Gorilla Grodd and his army decided to move from one parallel universe to another she now regularly wears a slightly altered version of the original trajectory costume even though she stood toe-to-toe against avatar Jesse quick barely escaped from him and was set to be well over Mach 2 even so she's presumably faster than Mach 3 since she outran Wally in the race training session if it seems like I'm getting more time talking about some characters more than others I don't know if some of these are just flat-out stated others you got to do some hokey pokey man over 15 trajectory Eliza Harmon was a scientist at mercury labs who later morphs into the villain known as trajectory after manipulating factors of the Super Soldier Serum een the velocity-9 serum and injecting herself with it soon after in her fight against the flash Barry Allen reached new limits as he pushed his speed up to Mach 3.3 and while this was still impressive as he reached a new max speed trajectory was still able to smoke him in their race against one another and when she injected herself with some more of the velocity-9 serum the flash didn't even tried to keep up with her after that as he knew that she was well above Mach 3.3 at that point probably almost but not quite four times the speed of sound but seconds later after bragging to him about how fast she was she later dissolved into absolute nothingness without a single speck of her left but hey at least her leather clothes for solar number 14 Aaron taylor-johnson Quicksilver Marvel's interpretation of Pietro Maximoff well it was the same character was vastly different from Fox's version of the fan favorite character still this clicks ever was able to catch arrows from Hawkeye dodged a bullet from ulysses klaw and unloaded his gun on a nearby table and even now ran a loose speeding sealed train to save the hundreds of lives on nearby innocent civilians unfortunately he still pretty much picked that by pretty much everybody for being too slow to dodge these bullets to clarify a few things this Quicksilver can indeed catch bullets as shown through here or he could have easily grabbed it but was just a little confused at what he was looking at but he can only catch those that are from regular handguns Gatling guns from quinjets she bolts faster than any revolver could anyways if you watch one of my earlier videos we found out that this Quicksilver had to run it around four times the speed of sound successfully safe Hawkeye and that one sokovia lady's little kid Quicksilver in trajectory are pretty much interchangeable on this list since they both run it practical the same speed number 13 Jay Garrick Jay Garrick is a doppelgänger veteran speedster of Harry Allen from Earth 3 he was captured by zoom for the purpose of having a Speed stolen what he eventually got out we are never really explicitly told how fast he is but seeing how he's a seasoned veteran Speed Force user it's implied that he's fast and relatively newcomers and newbies like Wally West Jessie quick and trajectory and as stated earlier she was caught by zoom so he could range anywhere between Mach 4 to Mach 6 number 12 good hunter zolomon is a metahuman from earth-2 who after discovering the existence of Barry Allen became obsessed with becoming faster dr. Harrison wells claimed that zoom was about 3 or 4 times faster than Allen towards the middle of season 2 of the show and the last time we were notified of how fast Allen was before that statement that is it was about 1590 miles per hour this would mean zooms top speed would be around Mach 8.2 that's before his transformation into whatever that thing is I'll get into that thing's velocity in a minute number 11 Melissa Ben Watts Supergirl Kara zor-el or Kara Danvers is the daughter of scientist Dorel who was sent to earth from a dying Krypton to protect her cousin kal-el however her pod was set off course from the shockwave that came from the explosion of planet Krypton the show doesn't pinpoint her exact limits but when flash crossed dimensions and visited supergirls earth throughout barry allen's stay in her world Supergirl has always been able to keep up with him sometimes even beating him in races Allen's excuses that he always let her win the races which we can't really call effect because you could have been joking or something to help him get back to his world Supergirl runs at her top speed and throws Allen back into a wormhole at this point in the timeline the Flash's top speed was increased by four times his old record and we all have to take into account he was grinning at Supergirl while running meaning he wasn't trying as best whereas Danvers was so her max speed is most likely a little over 10 times the speed of sound number 10 Tyler hoechlin Superman the Man of Steel is born on Krypton but raised on earth at Clark and Superman has all the powers Kryptonians get after reaching earth you know the super strength the flight with speed allergies wrap the show Supergirl he has been displayed to be just as fast as if cousin Kara if not faster though both are still just under the speed of a tachyon enhanced splash number nine grant gustin's the flesh the CW's iteration of the flash is vastly loved by audiences and fans even to the point where people crucify the DCE you for choosing Ezra Miller over Grant Gustin anyways as stated earlier on in this video the flash had to run at Mach 3.3 to cross a bridge in the trajectory episode of the show but when he was enhanced by the Tachyon equipment he was able to go four times faster than he ever had before suggesting that he could now run over thirteen point two times the speed of sound this isn't set in stone as he has shown to be getting fast enough to even perceive the even faster metahumans avatar but for now all we can say is that he runs up to Mach thirteen point two number eight the reverse-flash eobard thawne is the arch enemy to barry allen who is overly obsessed with proving his superiority to the red speedster in the show legends of tomorrow Sarah Lance claims that the reverse-flash is even faster than Barry Allen but truthfully that might just be an exaggeration as you can't really support that claim with just the naked eye so what is his max speed then well in his interview Tom Cavanaugh implies that the reverse-flash relies on a negative Speed Force this is basically the opposite of what Barry uses for his quickness but it feeds on the power of the Speed Force itself what I'm getting at is that the faster Barry goes the faster reverse-flash gets so maybe lantus statements were off or maybe not but for now reverse flash and flash are at the same speed number seven black flash [Music] after being abducted by a couple of time raised hundreds element transformers from the villain Nonna's zoomed to the uncontrollable zombie light creature known as the black flash zoom was originally capable of running only up to Mach 6 or Mach 8 but the time rates must have given him a speed multiplier or something because when he was on the hunt to kill reverse flash eobard thawne didn't even try to run he just said they're in utter fear hoping that he couldn't track him because he wasn't using the Speed Force at the moment also we saw him easily catch up to the flash in that Speed Force scene of season 3 judging from his reaction it's safe to say that the black flashes will above Mach 13 faster than the flash and the reverse flash number 6 Tom Welling Superman the next one on this list is Tom Welling favorited portrayal of the Man of Steel himself Clark Kent in this series has progressed well in terms of speed towards the end of the show in season 9 Kent saves Oliver Queen and Lois Lane from an incoming bullet the gun that criminal used was this intro' tech tech dc9 which has a muzzle velocity of 360 meters per second the victims were about ten foot steps away from the bad guy which according to livestrong.com is about 25 feet so we can bring back the speedster equation and find out how many seconds one second for us feels like to Superman well the bullet took 19 seconds to travel 7.62 meters when it should have taken just 20 milliseconds so doing the math we find out that so this Superman one second for us is about 950 seconds to him almost 16 full minutes plugging this into the speedster equation we find out that Smallville Superman moves around at Mach 18 point six number five Henry Cavill Superman Henry Cavill Superman has been controversial in terms of heroism all because of the whole city destruction spiel in Batman V Superman dawn of Justice Superman was blasted by a nuclear bomb above Earth's atmosphere in an attempt to destroy the newly born Beast doomsday he died for like a few seconds but was later revived by the sun's rays moments later Superman was able to travel from just outside of Earth's atmosphere to Earth's surface in under a minute which is a distance of about 300 miles walking in the actual runtime of the sequence that would mean Cavill Superman would have had to be traveling at Mach 20 7.5 number four sabotage sabotage is assumed to be the fastest pistas shown on the CW flash TV show to date he is so fast that he even appears to be a blur under the flashes perception of time in one of his appearances on the TV show Babbitt R makes a full circle around Barry and sucker punches him around several times in legend says tomorrow under Barry Allen's point of view diggle's bullet takes about two full seconds to travel the guns length while Diggle uses a custom-made pistol across between what seems to be a magnum revolver and the m1911 Colt pistol well the average length between these two guns is 8 inches and their muzzle velocities averaged out to be 350 meters per second indicating that one second for him is actually 0.5 seven milliseconds for us since Barry ran for one and a half second under his point of view when he was facing sabot R that would mean it was actually 0.8 6 milliseconds in real time next we can use a circumference formula of a circle to find the distance avatar ran using Barry's speed Mach 13.2 we find out that the distance vary coverage or the diameter of the circle three point eight nine meters after plugging in all of the maths factors in we find out that sabot our Ram twelve point two five meters in 0.8 six milliseconds 41 and a half times the speed of sound number three Bart Allen Bart Allen is a speedster who has messed with Tom Welling Superman plenty of times before he was so much faster compared to Wellings character that he appeared to be using super speed while in Superman super speed vision so the way we can find Alan speed in the show was when he was playing a little game of tag with Superman in season 6 episode 11 of Smallville Alan manages to run half a city block in about half a second well your average city block is about 311 feet long meaning that with the correct units Bart Allen ran 95 meters per second but remember that was all under Superman's already slowed down perception of time so multiplying Wellings second to second ratio shows us that Bart Allen can run up to speeds of Mach 263 number two Evan Peters Quicksilver Quicksilver was an instant fan favorite of many after x-men Days of Future past in x-men apocalypse he's the son of magneto he became an official x-men member in the 1980s and he saved almost everybody from an exploding x-mansion emphasizing almost everybody yep rest in peace havoc so I made a video of how fast this guy was last summer but to be honest even I have to admit I made huge underestimations and overestimation and took away too many unnecessary variables into account like seriously looking back at it now after those variables didn't have to be there I'm going to be calculated speed again my god my head is going to explode first things first how big is the mansion we were never explicitly told how big the x-mansion is in the movies but in an article by Moe Vodacom the article writers analyze the various requirements and floor levels of mansion has and estimated that the Xavier school for the gifted should cover around seventy six thousand six hundred fifty four square feet next how fast was the explosion well no one knows for sure so let's use the average detonation velocity of about seven thousand 150 meters per second if we assume the x-mansion is in the shape of a square then each side of the mansion would have to be 277 feet long and the explosion appeared to be exploding near the center of the house so the distance between the starting point of the explosion to the walls shows us that it would have taken six milliseconds for the building to fully be engulfed in flames but in quicksilver's point of view the whole six milliseconds dragged on for two minutes and 20 seconds implying that one second for us is twenty 3333 seconds for Quicksilver over six and a half hours using the multiplier in the speed formula reveals to us that he could run up to four hundred fifty six times the speed of sound but wait he uses super speed while already in super speed and this doesn't mean he goes twice as fast hear me out on this one simply just multiplying in speed by two means that under the super speed vision they would have been running at the speed of what Usain Bolt runs at around 28 miles per hour which of course he wasn't as he was obviously so much faster that he's appearing as a blur while time has already slowed down running in and out of the x-mansion to save the kids while the explosion is happening in slow motion so here zooming that the explosion took place in the middle dimension let's just like this whole area j-law kisi blind a third wheel over here a part of the center doing this will make the outcome super exact what it will tell us the slowest Quicksilver had to be running so he runs in to save mystique and this outside and comes back to Moira all in just 0.73 30 seconds since this is under quicksilver's perception of time though in reality it only took him 0.03 milliseconds with the measurements of the walls we set up earlier keeping in mind we haven't even taken into account the distance he traveled from the safe zone where he placed mystique then Quicksilver traveled well above eighty four point four meters and 0.03 milliseconds over eight thousand two hundred two times the speed of sound and reminding you that's the slowest he had to be running if you take into account the distance he ran from the safe area where he placed mystique Invista moira then this would be a much higher number now before I give you the number one on this list I thought it'd be cool to list some honorable mentions who either didn't quite make the cut or they were just too ridiculous that I wasn't sure if they were meant to be taken seriously General Zod dude that's pretty fast and reminds me of my uncle but I couldn't really find a clip of him moving into measurable length the 90s flash I never watch accelerated man nothing really to comment on him because we barely even seen him at all Brandon routes Superman he saved people from a Gatling gun but he was technically part of another Superman scan and we on this list so I wasn't sure if I should have included him or not this obscure girl from Smallville that one Supergirl from that old movie probably I don't know I never watched it Jennifer Garner's Elektra yeah she was pretty fast she like moves around people in an instant she couldn't have teleport because Elektra don't do that but yeah the filmmakers probably didn't think this one through James Franco's new goblin he outran Peters line-of-sight in just a second again not sure if what he did was just a cliche transition to the next scene or if he actually outran Peters on his site Green Lantern it was pretty fast but I have to watch the film again in order to scale him on this list and you know I love this channel there's a point we just gotta cross some lines number one Christopher Reeves Superman the most iconic portrayal of Superman is the one that finishes his list off when Reeves Superman was so angered at the earthquake that killed Lois Lane he really spun the earth the other way around to reverse time the circumference of the earth is about twenty four thousand nine hundred one mile it took him a while to accelerate to his top speed but when he finally reached it it took him about 0.2 seconds to travel around the world that would mean Christopher Reeve Superman has to be moving well over Mach 584,000 173 almost 70 percent the speed of light you could also argue that this one counts as a ridiculous candidate and should have been thrown into the honorable mentions category but oh well sucks to suck donut so to recap Faora the rifle ezra mill is the flash wally west Jesse quick trajectory Aaron taylor-johnson is Quicksilver Jay Garrick zoom CBS Supergirl CBS Superman CW flash reverse flash black flash Tom welding Superman Henry Cavill Superman sabotage Bart Allen Evan Peters Quicksilver and Christopher Reeve Superman also sprinkled these guys here and there around lists anyways everybody that was a top twenty live-action speedsters ranked I really hope you enjoyed this video and you honestly really did then please be sure to hit that
