Hi Lildavid07 and welcome to DC Database! Flash is awesome isn't he? I've read a lot of the Flash material and had similar thoughts of who was fastest and such. I thought about referencing Geoff John's run stuff with the one-shots of him racing Supes and other times he's been referred to as only Flash to break speed of light etc. However, the reality is each new writer, and each new incarnation of the Flash set him up with challenges and then as a hero he breaks them. Therefor each new flash tends to be the fastest and each new show or release of media like the TV show put that character as new most popular.

I'd be against putting wholistic and final statements like he is best, fastest, or most popular regardless of DC source. I think it's all relevant to at time source material. I would add a caveat to admin's comments to make it relevant to point in time references and not adding broad sweeping statements that eventually become untrue with the next story arc... Though I truly wish the Johns and Waid runs can be immortalized, the character and universe moves forward as do people's opinions over time...
