Wonder Woman has been stated to keep up with the flashFlash in regular cruising speed but not at top speed, but the thing is, since her powers come straight from the speed god, shouldn’t she be much faster? I mean Hermes is the fastest out of all of the gods and can travel much faster than the speed of light.
It has also been stated that Hermes could be faster than the flashFlash. Shazam, for example, gets his speed from hermesHermes also, well, his Roman counterpart, Mercury, though still the same person. Shazam can keep up with all of the flashesFlashes and is actually faster than supermanSuperman, as stated in many of his comic books, but why doesn’t this apply to Wonder Woman? They get their powers from the same source.
I’m guessing that if the writers wanted to, they’d make her and shazamShazam be in the same speed category. But then again, sometimes the writers make wonder womanWonder Woman and supermanSuperman faster than Shazam. It’s always hard to know, and plus, Wonder Woman holds back much more than both supermanSuperman and Shazam, since she has her braceletsBracelets of submissionSubmission.
So could that be limiting her speed? I mean, it limits her strength and durability, and also gives her a few more abilities. I’m guessing this is the only logical explanation, because DC has not given me a better one.
