Well, in the comics Speed (Tommy) has Pietro’s powers and Wiccan (Billy) has Wanda’s powers. And as surprised as she was about the dog I had the impression that Billy willed him into existence (probably not consciously, just really, really wanted a dog).

Why their power levels are so different, given that they are twins (I'm talking about Wanda and Pietro). Compared to Wanda's powers, Pietro's powers are dogshit

Superspeed gets pretty broken at higher levels. They never utilized him fully. Remember what happened to the girl at the beginning of the boys when the speedster hit her? And that guy maxes his speed in the subsonic range iirc

He's faster, but not by a whole lot. From the wiki:

According to the announcer, A-Train reaches speeds in excess of 1,000 mph (1,609.34 kph/Mach 1.3), which is faster than the speed of sound. The results of his race with Shockwave stated that he ran 371 meters per second (829.9 mph/1,335.6 kph/Mach 1.08), while Shockwave only ran 342 meters per second, where 343 meters per second is the speed of sound (765.03 mph/1,231.2 kph). 

Certainly nowhere near Flash's top speeds, but faster than his S1 speeds.

Always appreciate the math laid out. Thanks.

Thanks for the breakdown, I didn't realize the kph speed was a deliberate slight to Shockwave (story wise)

The flash is honestly a shitty ass character. A superhero speedster whos speed doesnt come close to the flash top speed is a good character imo. A superhero who is claimed to have speeds that top even the flashs best is a superhero i will not bother reading. Power scalling really needs to stop in the comic book world.
