    Default Fastest DC Woman alive

    In honour of the semi-annual Superman/Flash race, here is the counterpart.

    There are 3 races in total.
    A) 100 meter sprint (Running only)
    B) 10 laps across the globe (Running/Flying only, no teleportation)
    C) Trip to the Moon and Back (Flying only, no teleportation)

    There is no combat allowed. Just a pure out race.

    Who wins.

    I don't know if much has changed in recent years, but Wonder Woman, Jesse Quick, Power Girl and Supergirl are my first thoughts.

    There was also... M'gann I think was the name? A white Martian?

    Pretty sure Jesse edges out the first two and the Kryptonians win the last.

    Again, unless stuff has changed. Most of my knowledge is post crisis era.

    Actually sounds about right.

    How fast is XS and the Tornado Twins (one half anyway)?

    Yeah, Jesse Quick or Supergirl jump to mind.

    When I first thought of this race, I thought that Cheetah might be able to take the first one. B and C, I had no idea because I don't recall any major speed feats debates on this board for any DC heroine besides Wonder Woman/Cheetah

    Does Cheetah still have her speed force upgrade from ages ago?

    That would make her competitive here for sure.

    If she still has the upgrade, she would easily win as she was Wally fast at that time.

    Someone on the DC Comics board posted a chart from around "Flash War" (I think) from DC which showed Cheetah just edging WW as the fastest. But I can't find it.

    Jessie Quick, before she became Liberty Belle at least, I'm sure her speed equation maxed her up to half the speed of light. I always thought Supergirl, Diana and Cheetah were a little above that.

    My understanding is Cheetah is fairly consistently fast enough for Wonder Woman to just barely react to, which seems like a pretty good case to be at the top. Though Supergirl and Power Girl might be pretty close, and Supergirl might actually have better feats.

    Depends a lot on the specific versions, but Supergirl and Powergirl are typically at best as fast as Wonder Woman and often effectively slower in combat due to skill.

    Supergirl has some very good flying in space feats though and could take that round, but in terms of running speed was at least Pre-Flashpoint Cheetah literally faster than eye for Supergirl and Donna Troy:

    The implication being WW is too fast to be even seen by either since she tangles with Cheetah?

    Also, the art seems to indicate the "now I'm faster than Wally" Cheetah era

    No, Wonder Woman typically can't run as fast as Cheetah. But in terms of effective combat/reaction speed is Wonder Woman(who also fought Cheetah in that story iirc) certainly faster than Supergirl, and even more so than Donna Troy.

    I'm not 100% sure, i think it was around that era but before Zoom unlocked Cheetah's speed(i wouldn't bet on it though).
