Who is more popular now? Flash or Quicksilver?

[RLAAMJR.]

I'm creating this poll here because I wanna know how DC fans feel about the growing immense popularity of Quicksilver.

Do you think Quicksilver is more popular than Flash now like if we have to have people choose who do they like more, will there be more people who will choose Quicksilver than Flash?

...How is this even a question? One is one of DC's Big 7, has an acclaimed TV-Show and will have a whole slew of block-buster films, while having supported a solo for decades. Not to mention he was a star in DC's most beloved cartoon, Justice League. The other... died after appearing in one MCU movie, had a glorified cameo in DoFP, and a supporting role in Apocalypse, while never having supported a solo for more than 12 issues. The answer is rather obvious.

Here's how I imagine this would when talking to a regular person:

"Who do you like better, the Flash or Quicksilver?"
"I guess the Flash. Who is Quicksilver?"
"The fast guy in the Avengers movie and the X-Men movie"
"Oh yeah, I like him too. Is that the same guy?"

[Lee Stone]

Yeah... Flash.

The only interesting parts to Quicksilver to me is being Scarlet Witch's brother, the husband of Crystal and a former member of the Brotherhood of Evil.

I imagine at parties he's introduced as...

"Here's Scarlet Witch and her brother."
"There's Crystal and her husband"
"Oh, look it's one of the founders of the Brotherhood of Evil. Wasn't he an Avenger at one time?"
"Namor! Oh, my... I hadn't noticed your hair was turning gray..."

Flash has his own tv show which really popular. I don't think quicksilver's name isn't that well known. They will recognise him if shown his picture but his code-name isn't that well known and the character doesn't have any popular storylines.

Comparing a non-entity with The Flash is hardly fair.

[MajorHoy]

It may boil down more to whether you're a Marvel vs. a DC person, or have you seen only the movies, or if you watch the TV show.

In other words, aside from the fact they both "run fast", you're comparing apples to something that's not an apple.

[Doctor Know]

Flash, easily.

I always saw QS as a packaged deal. It has to be QS and SW, but never QS solo. Considering how OP they've made Wanda over the past decade, it's not a trick question which of the Maximoff twins is more important.

Btw, how fast is QS now? I read the wikia a few weeks ago and it listed him having an FTL feat. What's going on?

flash 107 cover is the reply

CW Flash is cool.

X-Men Quicksilver is cool.

Avengers Quicksilver is lame.

[adrikito]

I guess Flash for his TV series. BUT..

I was going to ask who was Quicksilver(O.K a marvel character), I guess I'm out of this vote... I do not know the situation of this marvel character.

Flash is the answer but Quicksilver is much more popular now than he ever was.

[Frontier]

I like Pietro but it's no contest .

[Austin316]

I still think Flash is far and away more popular and well known. He's got a TV show, he's been featured in video games, cartoons and his own comics for years and (a MAJOR factor) he constantly gets mentioned in The Big Bang Theory, one of the biggest shows in the world.

Quicksilver's exposure doesn't even compare. In Avengers he was pretty boring, fairly unrecognisable as a character and wasn't called Quicksilver, while in X-Men he did have the two best scenes in the films, but if he was named anything in that (beyond Peter) it wasn't in such a way that would have stayed in the memory of movie-goers.

[RLAAMJR.]

But don't you think Quicksilver has an edge because people don't even know which Flash are they referring to?
