In the wider marvel universe, I can't really think of any other speedsters that are anywhere near as well known as Quicksilver. I'm sure there are some as I haven't really kept up with the canon. I just find it a bit funny that heaps can fly, have super strength, healing factor, shoot lasers, poison but only one (that I know of) that has super speed. How far off the mark am I?

    Speed Demon is out there; he was on the Thunderbolts for a stretch in the mid-2000s

    There’s Whizzer from the Golden Age and the Squadron Sinister/Supreme

    Other than that, Marvel doesn’t do a ton of speed-based characters

    I feel like they did a quick cameo of The Whizzer in one of the series maybe? Am I imagining that? I remember the name, he was pretty ****

    Wanda's son Tommy aka Speed. Also I consider cannonball a speedster.

    The most notable ones that I think could be added is Speed, Runner, Makkari, Speed Demon, Whizzer, and Blur

    Aurora and Northstar from Alpha Flight. Spitfire as one of the Invaders, circa WW2.

    Whizzer was in season 2 of Jessica Jones as a total joke character.

    Speed Demon
    Whizzer (Golden Age)
    Whizzer II (Squadron Supreme)
    Blur
    Spitfire
    Makkari (Eternals movie)
    Mercury (Golden Age, retconned to be Makkari before the gender flip)
    Speed

    Didn't realise there are actually so many out there. That's pretty cool. @Sundance_2099 ,I knew I remembered him from somewhere!

    Well, speeders per se, Aurora and Thor etc are not actually speeders, if kabam adds Cannonball (please do) for example, he wouldn't be characterized as such.

    hmm, wasn't there a green speedster in one of the lego games you got for finishing all the races?

    yeah, most of those are not 'speedsters' to my way of thinking. Sure, they can move really fast, but Carol, Thor, Monica, Cannonball, the Beaubier twins and Sentry all fly. To me, and I think most comics fans, speedsters are people who run real fast like Quicksilver or The Flash at the Distinguished Competition.

    I did forget one, there was a speedster in Ultimates 2, ISTR called Hurricane, but Quicksilver killed her by grabbing and running so fast she disintegrated from the physical forces.

    Exactly, 100% agreed about speeders. Even Superman won against Flash once or twice, but he s no speedster. DC fans will crucify us if we call him that, lol.

    (Oh nonono, if we go to other earths' champs, let it be at least AoA, not Ultimates! )
