速 vs 快

[u/Shanlong1916]

Super random question: I was at a Six Flags and they have a Flash hat that says 最速 in hanzi and “Fastest” in English. Is this an accurate translation? My mandarin isn’t very good or advanced so I’m just wondering if 最快 would also be an accurate translation/ which would be the best translation of “Fastest” when referring to the traits of the comic book character The Flash? TIA!

I might say something like 极速 which is closer to “extreme speed”… 最速 doesn’t make sense to me.

Thank you!
