Some early Smallville speed feats

Clark runs to Hub City

The feat.

Now when this feat happens Lex Luthor is talking to Ryan about comic books and the nature of evil. From Clark starting to run, to Lex and Ryan finishing talking, to Clark arriving at the airfield takes 2 minutes and 2 seconds.

• 425 miles = 2,244,000 feet = 683,971.2 meters

•  683,971.2 meters / 122 seconds = 5,606.3213 meters per second or mach 16.34496 (Hypersonic+)

For another end, assuming the scenes happened at the same time (so we see Clark's journey from start to finish)

• Clark starts running at 3.26 seconds and arrives at 38.28 seconds

• 38.28 - 3.26 = 35.02 seconds

•  683,971.2 meters / 35.02 seconds = 19,530.87378 meters per second or mach 56.941 (High Hypersonic+)

Clark outruns rain

The feat

Now I had a hard time trying to measure this feat until I noticed that you can follow one of the large droplets in the foreground for an entire shot

• The water droplet in question

Now according to this the average raindrop will fall at 9 m/s and according to this raindrops vary from start at .5mm and can go up to 4mm in size. So for the ends I'll use five: .5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm

• .5mm * (86/75) = 0.573mm traveled = .0.000573 / 9 = 0.0000636 seconds

• 1mm * (86/75) = 1.146mm traveled = 0.00146 / 9 = 0.000162 seconds

• 2mm * (86/75) = 2.293mm traveled = 0.002293 / 9 = 0.0002547 seconds

• 3mm * (86/75) = 3.44mm traveled = 0.00344‬ / 9 = 0.000382 seconds

• 4mm * (86/75) = 4.586mm traveled = 0.004586 / 9 = 0.000509 seconds

Clark seemed to be moving at normal human speed in this scene (as in he wasn't moving fast while already in his accelerated vision state)

• 5 m/s / 0.0000636 seconds = 78,616.3522 m/s or mach 229.2 (Massively Hypersonic)
• 5 m/s / 0.000162 seconds = 30,864.197 m/s or mach 89.983 (High Hypersonic+)
• 5 m/s / 0.0002547 seconds = 19,630.938 m/s or mach 57.233 (High Hypersonic+)
• 5 m/s / 0.000382 seconds = 13,089.005 m/s or mach 38.16 (High Hypersonic)
• 5 m/s / 0.000509 seconds = 9,823.1827 m/s or mach 28.639 (High Hypersonic)

Clark saves Lex

The feat

So in this feat Clark runs from Smallville to Metropolis to save Lex Luthor from being killed by Van.

• According to the IMFDB the gun Van is using is a HK G36C, which according to Wikipedia has an average muzzle velocity of 722 m/s
• Going by this ruler the bullet of 5.56 NATO is 2.2 centimeters in length
• 2.2cm * (695/27) = 56.6296 centimeters
• 2.2cm * (443/25) = 38.984‬ centimeters
• 56.6296 cm - 38.984 cm = 17.6456 centimeters traveled
• 0.176456‬ / 722 = 0.0002443 seconds

Now for the distance Clark covered

• Tim Welling's height (the actor for Superman/Clark) is 1.9 meters
•  1.9m * (338/124) = 5.179 meters
• 5.179 meters / 0.0002443 seconds = 21,199.345 m/s or mach 61.8 (High Hypersonic+)

Results

• Hub City screen time speed = Mach 16.34496 (Hypersonic+)

• Hub City if you assume real time = Mach 56.941 (High Hypersonic+) (Accepted)

• Water Droplet End 1 = Mach 229.2 (Massively Hypersonic)
• Water Droplet End 2 = Mach 89.983 (High Hypersonic+)
• Water Droplet End 3 = Mach 57.233 (High Hypersonic+)
• Water Droplet End 4 = Mach 38.16 (High Hypersonic)
• Water Droplet End 5 = Mach 28.639 (High Hypersonic) (Accepted)
• Clark catches a bullet = Mach 61.8 (High Hypersonic+) (Accepted)
