superspeed
Faster than light
Superspeed is the ability to move at extraordinarily fast velocities—a power common in comic books and superhero fiction: The Flash's superspeed lets him outrun bullets.
The term also describes any capacity for exceptional quickness: She finished the project with superspeed.
Sometimes hyphenated as super-speed.
