Does Superman access the Speed Force?!


Question: Because i thought the Speed Force grants all speedsters their speed, and superman is a speedster. Or does he get that ability from somewhere else?

No. Superman does not access the speedforce. Just because Superman can move at great speed, he does not have access to the SPEEDFORCE - the source of all motion, which is expressed in speed, the lending and borrowing of speed (kinetic energies) to a specific group or grouping of molecules in which that "force" comes in contact with.

Superman's ability comes from the fact he can propel himself, at great speed through space - but he can not move fast enough to negate or negotiate the space/time barrier, which is what Speedsters - those who have, do and will carry the mantle of Flash can do. They can move faster than Superman or anyother metahuman can aspire to.

He gets his power from the Yellow Sun duh

Oh god it's comic book guy from The Simpsons

no

He gets his power from his speedo.

Superman is fast but he's not a Speedster, he's a super-powered hero who gets his powers from the Sun.
Flash is a Speedster, and he gets his powers from the Speed Force.

The source of Superman's powers has changed subtly over the course of his history. It was originally stated that Superman's abilities derived from his Kryptonian heritage, which made him eons more evolved than humans. This was soon amended, with the source for the powers now based upon the establishment of Krypton's gravity as having been stronger than that of the Earth. This situation mirrors that of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter. As Superman's powers increased, the implication that all Kryptonians had possessed the same abilities became problematic for writers, making it doubtful that a race of such beings could have been wiped out by something as trifling as an exploding planet. In part to counter this, the Superman writers established that Kryptonians, whose native star Rao had been red, only possessed superpowers under the light of a yellow sun.



(^-*)


and also his power dont related to speedforce as this article said it...

The Speed Force is a vaguely-defined extradimensional energy force from which most superspeed-powered heroes, such as the multiple heroes named the Flash (Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West and Bart Allen), Johnny Quick, Jesse Quick, Max Mercury, and others (but not necessarily all characters with superspeed, e.g., Superman or Captain Marvel) draw their powers.

no superman is a super man shazam wonder woman are also speedsters they have no access to the speed force either but they are also not human

Superman is the original super-speedster (although Hermes/Mercury is the model for such characters) and was dashing across the country "faster than a racing car" as early as 'Action Comics' #3 (1938). The Flash didn't show up until the very tail end of 1939. The second Flash showed up in 1956, and Kid Flash (who became the third Flash) was introduced in 1960. The Speed Force wasn't invented until the 1990s, probably as an alternative means of getting away from the fact that the first two Flash(es) gained their powers in accidents involving chemistry, and Kid Flash's origin also included an accident with chemicals; the Speed Force invalidated the idea of very improbable coincidences producing super-speedsters, and it allowed for many speedsters to draw their abilities from a common source that also had a built in explanation for why there were so many speedsters and also allowed for an expansion of their numbers.

I think Superman's super-speed should just be regarded as part of his birthright, since the Speed Force is harder to apply to him. Comics are fantasy, although they often have the trappings of science-fiction. Attempting to use logic to answer some questions about comic book characters just doesn't work, and it is sometimes better to think about why certain ideas came to be associated with certain characters than it is to regard the ideas as "scientific."

Only the Flash can do this. Superman is an Alien from another planet who's abilities come to him via environment and the Sun. Just because Superman can travel insanely fast does not mean that he can access the Speed Force.
