im guessing that superboy will end up winning but kid flash deserves to win. no super will ever beat a flash in a foot race

Wouldn't Kid Flash Win, can't he tap into the Speed Force or is that only a few of them

That's pretty cool, like the old SUPERMAN VS FLASH race!

Might have to pick that up deff, cheers @ ED!

Couldn't they have picked a half decent artist for something this epic?

That dude SUCKS! I can do better than that. I wish they had hired Eric Canete for this... His style is really fluid!

They should have done a poll to decide who wins...

Personally I want Flash to win!

I like Kid Flash, but Superboy's going to win for sure.

I think Kid Flash will win. His power is based solely on speed while Superboy's is rounded.

Why didn't they think of this before? It was always obvious.

superboys cool. kid flash should win. but theyll probably end up in a tie or not finish the race or something. i feel like if kid flash looses, then it makes him useless. plus the speed force thing

Yeah.. basically THE FLASH would beat SUPERMAN so

KID-FLASH wins!

It's obvious. It's the hero who is on the cover and who no one has mentioned. They aren't going to have an actual conclusion, somethings going to happen and I guarantee Krypto wins.

Think about it. It's the logical choice. Why else would he be featured on the cover, S.B. asks if he is going to try and keep up, we get reminded he's in the race at the start by a little joke and having the dog win humbles the young heroes.

Krypto wins. No doubt.

Im the biggest Superman fanboy but anyone who says Superman or Superboy can beat any of the Flashes is retarded. Flash is the fastest man alive by far and would win by many many many many miles if going at full speed. And i don't know much about Kid Flash but he's a Flash so he's definitely faster than Superboy.

I actually agree with Suede, I think it will probably be Krypto who wins the race, for the same reasons he already pointed out.

KID FLASH LOOKS LIKE A HOMO.

was really funny in smallville when supes is racing the flash at the end and the flash starts running backwards before ROASTING clark.

the flash (wally) has actually raced superboy before, during the face the flash was stopping off in different parts of the world for souvenirs. ha ha

flash is just 'faster' then superboy/man he is MUCH faster

I don't like the idea of Superboy being able to beat Kid Flash in a foot race since it's his only power. Come on! Just let the Flashes easilly be the fastest. I know a lot of you like to hate on Smalleville, but I think Smallville got it pretty right when it came to Bart's speed relative to Clark's speed.
Smallville Clark vs Bart
Gotta love that "Holy sh!T!" look on Clark's face at the end.

I'm going with Suede...

Kid Flash ahs the lead, but something Happens to distract him and SB and Krypto wins the race. So the question never gets answered....
