super speed

Flash-like rapid movement

Super speed is the fictional ability to move at velocities far beyond normal human capacity—a staple superpower in comics, video games, and action movies.

Characters with super speed can outrun vehicles, dodge bullets, or circle the globe in seconds: The Flash's super speed lets him vibrate through walls.

Sometimes called superspeed.
