- "I can think at the speed of light, I can perceive events that last for less than an Attosecond, I can run faster than time. What do I see when I run across the country, Superman? I see everything, and everyone."
- ― The Flash/Barry Allen (DC Comics)
- "I'm quicker than thought. Faster than light. I'm the speediest damn thing in the whole universe."
- ― Gilpetperdon/The Runner (Marvel Comics)
- "Faster, faster, faster! I’m already on the far end of infinity in terms of speed. There isn’t anything higher. But I don’t care! If what I’m doing isn’t working, then I just have to keep breaking limits! Surpass infinity to an even further infinity! I’ll keep busting through these walls, surpassing my past self! That’s the only solution!"
- ― Benetnash (A Wild Last Boss Appeared)
The power to possess speed at a maximum and limitless level. Sub-power of Absolute Condition. Absolute version of Enhanced Speed. Not to be confused with Speed Infinitum and Teleportation.

Capabilities[]
Users have unlimited maximum speed, transcending the logical limits and boundaries of speed as a concept. They qualitatively transcend all notions of speed and temporal and spatial dimensions, being able to move beyond the infinite dimensions of time thanks to the transcendence of the very concepts of movement. These users are not just beyond speed, they are beyond movement itself, operating in a realm where the conventional rules of space and time no longer hold sway.

Levels[]
- Peak Human Speed: Users can move as fast as humanly possible. They can reach a level of speed as fast as 45 km/h - 64 km/h. They are as fast as moving vehicles like cars/trucks/rapid transit trains and wild animals and are fast enough to dodge projectiles and run on walls.
- Enhanced Speed: Users can move faster than peak humans, but not too high superhuman levels. They can move much faster than the average member of their species and reach a level of speed as fast as 64-617 kph, they can move faster than the eye can see.
- Supernatural Speed: User can move several times faster than any other being in their universe, reaching into high superhuman territory.
- Type I: Users can move at a speed of 617 - 6174 kph, beyond subsonic speed and reaching hypersonic speed at their fastest.
- Type II: Users can move at a speed of 6175 - 1.0793e+7 kph, beyond hypersonic speed and reaching relativistic speed at their fastest.
- Type III: Users can move faster than relativistic speed. They can move near, at, or beyond the speed of light.
- Type IV: Users have infinite speed. They are able to move indefinitely while time literally stands still, circling and traveling anywhere instantly within the infinite universe.
- Type V: Users have "immeasurable" speed. Their speed cannot be measured as they can move beyond linear time. Given that Speed = Distance divided by Time (S = D/T), if Time is undefined the speed formula cannot be applied. However, immeasurable speed is superior to infinite speed, which is defined as movement in zero time. The difference between those two is that beings that can travel at infinite speeds can go everywhere instantly, whereas beings that can travel at immeasurable speeds can go everywhere and everywhen faster than instantly. It's like when users manage to instantly reach the beginning or the end of the infinite universe (that virtually has no beginning or the end because of its infinite scope) with their speed.
- Absolute Speed: Users have absolute speed, which transcends all levels of speed infinitely and absolutely. Users are beyond the very concept of speed and the dimensions of space and time itself.
Associations[]
- Absolute Body
- Absolute Condition
- Absolute Strength
- Alternate Reality Traveling
- Motion Embodiment
- Motion Manipulation
- Planeswalking
- Power Fists
- Power Legs
- Speed Infinitum
- Transcendent Physiology
- Unrestricted Movement
Note[]
- Although one with speed in the absolute can move through entire multiverses and even surpass time-stop automatically, does not work like teleportation, because speed is the division between space/distance and time, while teleportation is potentially instant (not needing time) and does not occupy intermediary space. (not needing distance) Users of Absolute Speed can travel through and effect the intermediary space between Point-A and Point-B, whereas users of teleportation cannot.

Comics[]
One of the Seven Forces of the Universe, The Speed Force (DC Comics) is a cosmic force based around velocity and movement as it is the representation of reality itself in motion, being the very force that pushes space and time forward. Those with access to the Speed Force can use a large number of abilities, usually revolving around speed.
As the Fastest Flash, Wally West (DC Comics) has evolved to a point where he is the fastest being in the Multiverse, even being able to run to the end of time to outrun the speedster incarnation of Death…
As one of the very embodiments of The Fastest Man Alive title, Barry Allen/The Flash (DC Comics) can reach up to absolute levels of speed...
...during a mission with with Metron and Lightray, he ran in Hyperspace, a peculiar other-Dimensional region where time cannot function and where light years are spanned as quickly as street corners...
...from there, he was able to make it to The Final Barrier where his every thought ended and entered a place of "time" gone mad,...
...where his form is less than nothing and could go insane at the sight of it and yet he proceeds...
…for reference, The Final Barrier also known as "The Source Wall" is beyond any known measure of space and time and spans all dimensions and realms, which is beyond anything from the local multiverse, The Source even more so.
As one of the earliest humans to possess a connection to the Speed Force and the first man to be called the Flash, Jay Garrick can reach absolute speeds...
...during a life and death race with his archenemy Edward Clariss, he was able to reach the edge of The Speed Force Itself Which should've been impossible as The Speed Force is mentioned to be omnipresent within the DC Multiverse, syncing all the universes close to one another as the source of Infinite Energy.
That as he was chasing his cousin Supergirl, he was breaking all the planes of reality through his sheer speed and power...
...because if continued, he was not only going to destroy said realities but reach the limits of existence, The Kingdom of God...
...The Kingdom of God, also known as Heaven, completely transcends any notion of distance and time and is stated to be beyond space and time.
