- "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)
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.

- Almighty/Cosmic/Meta/Pata/Omni/Boundless/Supreme/Godly/Divine/Total/Limitless/Transcendent/Perfect/Complete/Ultimate Speed
- Irrelevant Speed
- Indeterminate Speed
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 64-193 kph, Subsonic speed. They can move faster than the eye can see.
- Supernatural Speed - User can move blatantly faster than other people in their universe, reaching into high superhuman territory.
- Type I: Users can move at a speed of 617 - 6174 kph, beyond supersonic 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. Teleportation does not count.
- 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 an infinite universe that virtually has no beginning or end because of its infinite size with their speed.
- Absolute Speed - Users have absolute speed which transcends both levels of speed infinitely and absolutely. This is what makes it absolute. Users are beyond the concepts of speed and the speed of dimensions of space and time itself.
Associations[]
- Absolute Body
- Absolute Condition
- Absolute Strength
- Alternate Reality Traveling
- Motion Manipulation
- Planeswalking
- Power Fists
- Power Legs
- Speed Infinitum
- Transcendent Physiology
- Unrestricted Movement
Note[]
- Absolute Speed, although it 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.
