Todays Foxtrot brings back the ultimate debate. If superman and the flash were to have a race, which one would win? I think in one comic they did an around the world race, but superman had to save lois and thus the race was never truely decided.
Thoughts, ideas?

well reguardless who would win, if the USPS has their way neither will get there THAT fast 😛
 
Well Superman is faster than a speeding bullet, which really isn't all that fast.

The Flash takes his name from light, so we must assume that he can travel at the speed of light.

Flash wins!
 
Well in the TV show, the Flash owned Clark in a race. He held back and then finally just passed him like Clark was standing still.

 
Im not familiar with details from comics, but from the movie, Superman was faster than speed of light to spin earth backwards and turn back time!!!

superman wins

/thread
 
Considering the only claim to fame the Flash has is his speed, it would kinda suck to have another Superhero who could fly, shoot heat-rays from his eyes, stop bullets, lift a building, etc and also be faster than him.

Is Superman also stronger than the Hulk? More agile than Spiderman? More all-American than Captain America? More intelligent than Batman?
 
i thought the flash had to eat a lot of food too keep up with his metabolism. superman is solar powered and thus in a long race superman would win while flash was at the mcds getting a cheeseburger (and consequently stuck on the john).
 
Superman! And then it depends on whose drawing the comics or making the movies! For me Superman is the HERO and the rest well...not bad...as a kid Superman makes you dream more than the other heroes....btw why no new episodes of Smaville? Anybody?

Yea but, it takes him awhile to accelerate to that speed. The Flash can go at least as fast, and he accelerates a lot faster.

TV shows usually take small breaks. They'll show reruns for a few weeks and then show new eps again. Why Smallville skipped out on the Spring Sweeps is beyond me though. Must be counter-programming or something. Next new ep is March 30th.
 
I am pretty sure this was officially answered in the comics. The answer was Flash was potentially faster, but usually they tie. I believe flash also discovered a way to go back in time.
 
Oh well what does it change who can run faster? I like Superman and that's it...btw funny so far in smallville nothing on the fact that Clark/ Superman draws his power from the sun...can't remember...but does the sun makes superman more powerful or he just draws his power from it like a solar cell ?

The earth's yellow sun gives Superman his power. He stores that power for an undetermined amount of time (ie it is up to how the writer wants to use that plot device).

If Superman is exposed to something like Krypton's red sun (I think it is red) then he loses his powers.
 
And does the people from krypton knows that a yellow sun gives them extraordinary powers? and i thought they were using their powers on krypton...well i must have missed a lot of episodes of the superman comics 🙁

The smart ones knew, his real Dad explains it to him via some kind of recording, so he must have known.

They definately didn't have all the powers on Krypton, but they are a different species and could do some things humans can't do, like I think they were telepathic.
