Speed

Speed is the descendant of a very well-known Marvel speedster him-self. His real name is Thomas Shepherd and he was first introduced in the pages of Young Avengers #10. The guy has taken part in some major Marvel events like Secret Invasion and House of M. The maximum velocity Speed can achieve is Mach 4. That is four times the speed of sound. Quicksilver is faster than Speed by a huge margin. Both of them once had a friendly race. Quicksilver was not even trying and he had Wiccan over his shoulders throughout the race. The superhero is still young and has a hell of a lot to learn. His potential is unquestionable though.

Northstar

Northstar is a mutant superhero. He is a major member of the Canadian Superhero team called Alpha Flight. Northstar has the power to turn his body into a sentient projectile, achieving inhuman levels of speed even normal speedsters could only dream of. He is also one of Marvel’s openly gay characters. His powers allow him to store incredible quantities of kinetic energy in his body, which he can use to propel him forward in short bursts at blistering velocities or parts of his body to trade a superhuman fist or kick with the enemy. While he has never traveled at the speed of light, with the level of his powers, it is potentially possible to do so.

Slingshot

Yo-Yo Rodriguez has already made an appearance in Marvels’ Agents of Shield TV Series. She is shown to be an Inhuman with the ability of super speed. In the comic books, Fury recruited Slingshot into his personal strike team consisting of Phobos, Sebastian Druid, Hellfire, and Stonewall to take down Skrulls during Secret Invasion. Slingshot’s true speed has never been recorded. The only flaw in her ability is that she has to return to her original position the moment she is done using her powers. The character possesses bionic arms after losing her real ones in a mission gone awry.
