Top 10 Fastest Fictional Characters

1. The Flash (DC Comics)

   

   The Flash is the name of several superheroes appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original Flash (Jay Garrick) first appeared in Flash Comics #1 in January 1940. The most well-known Flash, Barry Allen, debuted in 1956 and is a founding... read more

   Sonic first? I wonder how many fanboys didn't get that the Flash actually beats teleportation, which is the top speed ever. Nothing can be faster than something instantaneous except for Flash.

   Alright, "Sonic once ran to 1,000 universes in less than a second (Night of 1,000 Sonics), warped reality, boxed with his own shadow, and plenty more. I have theories against Flash's instantaneous travel as well." But still not faster than instantaneous travel... Sonic is overrated and Flash underrated. I call this bull.

   The Flash can go as fast as the writers need him to. There's not actually a cap on his speed, and his history shows that. While it's true that, in the past, there have been limits via the Speed Force to the speed of the various Flashes, that issue is solved by the presence of people who love them acting as their "lightning rods" and preventing them from slipping into the Speed Force. With their lightning rods, their speed is infinite.

2. Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)

   

   Sonic the Hedgehog is the title character and protagonist of the video game series of the same name released by SEGA. He has since appeared in numerous spin-off comics, several television shows, an animated OVA, and a live-action movie trilogy. Known for his incredible speed and signature blue color... read more

   Sonic's speed is unlimited, unlike any other speed character. The only reason he doesn't go that fast in the games is because it would make them way too easy. So easy, in fact, that they wouldn't even be worth playing.

   Flash doesn't have infinite speed because his connection to the Speed Force limits how fast he can actually run. If he runs faster than the Speed Force allows him to, then he'll disintegrate and die. The same would happen if Flash tried to steal Sonic's speed. If he did so, then it would be completely pointless because Sonic will just keep running, while Flash would only be sending himself to his own demise.

   So yeah, Sonic the Hedgehog is the fastest thing alive for a reason, and no other speed character can top him no matter how fast they may seem. Everyone else has their limits, while Sonic here has no limits. It's safe to say that Flash, Quicksilver, Rainbow Dash, and every other speed character can be left in Sonic the Hedgehog's dust.

3. Quicksilver (Marvel Comics)

   

   Quicksilver is a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in X-Men #4 in 1964. Quicksilver was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby and is known for his superhuman speed.

   Have you seen X-Men Apocalypse? He saved everyone from an exploding mansion in seconds!

   Quicksilver saved everyone from the exploding mansion in under a second.

   He is the Marvel version of The Flash. They are the same speed in my opinion.

4. Superman (DC Comics)

   

   Superman is a fictional comic book character and arguably the first powerful superhero of the modern era. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, who were high school students in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933. Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1, published by National... read more

   He flies to different planets in separate solar systems in seconds.

5. Godspeed (DC Comics)

   

   "Godspeed" also many other people have shown to be faster than Flash. Plus, add Ridley (from Samus). Why? The Game Theorist explained everything. He is faster than Sonic.

   Dude, he's "god" speed. So don't even try. He should be #0, a.k.a. better than #1!

6. Speedy Gonzales (Looney Tunes)

   

   Speedy Gonzales is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series. He is known as The Fastest Mouse in all Mexico. Speedy wears a sombrero, white outfit, and red kerchief, and he often outsmarts his adversaries with his speed and cleverness.

7. Road Runner (Looney Tunes)

   

   I am betting he could be the fastest character of all. After all, he can break the laws of physics and go through painted walls or invisible walls.

   WHAT! He should be number one. He's way faster than Speedy Gonzales. Have you seen how fast Road Runner is? What's wrong with you people?

8. Eobard Thawne / Reverse Flash (DC Comics)

   

   Eobard Thawne, known as Professor Zoom or the Reverse-Flash, is a fictional supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. He is primarily portrayed as a nemesis of the Flash. Thawne is one of the most well-known speedster villains in the DC Universe.

   He's the evil version of The Flash. No other differences, basically.

9. Black Racer (DC Comics)

   

   The fastest of all the speedsters, equal to Wally or even faster. Mr. Grim Reaper.

10. Kid Flash (DC Comics)

    The original Wally West is canonically faster than any other speedster, including Barry Allen and the new Wally West. He is also faster than Black Racer, as he outran him for ten years straight.

    Wally West proved faster in the comics than any other speedster, even Barry Allen. Look it up. He's number one on this list.

    He is faster than death itself. Wally beat this race a billion times before it started without breaking a sweat.
