Actually I have read Flash, and yes he is not as fast as the Silver Surfer. A mortal who runs/vibrates etc is quick, an alien who flies on a surboard through galaxies is quicker in my opinion. I rember an old issue of Superman where that version of the Flash could barely beat Supes? Perhaps that was poor writing in that issue? If you have an issue or factoid that proves that the Flash is indeed faster than hyperspace travel then I would love to see it. The marvel superheroes game lists the Silver Surfers flying speed in space as Class 5000. Thats about as high as that game goes power wise. That is a mutiplier of light speed. I thought the Flash could run at light speed?
