    Not quite as fast as Superman but around the same general area depending on the source.

    She's faster than light, at her maximum. But, not nearly as fast as Superman.

    They all have limits on earth so as not to ignite the atmosphere. Superman gets faster as he is closer to yellow sunlight, remove all the light and he'd be as slow as clark kent where as wonderwoman would still have super speed.  But wonderwoman does not have super flight speed. She used to "ride air currents" and got upgraded to flying. She moves super fast, enough to deflect multiple bullets of lasers with her wrists. But that's quickness more than speed. She can run super fast but her flight is not as fast as superman's especially when he is in space near a yellow sun.  I would not put her at light speed. If she can do that then she never uses it.
     
    People say that so and so like superman  is "faster than light" and yet it takes them two hours to travel from the moon to earth, where as light can go from the sun to earth in just 7 minutes.

    I'd say reaction speed and reflexes just below Flash and Superman but flight speed probably around Martian Manhunter.

    Yea writers probably didnt do great in math class, probably doodling in their books the whole time and obviously dont care to look it up
     

    They always put Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter right under Superman. I would say Martian Manhunter is faster then WW though.

    Martian is not faster than WW. In fact, his speed has never been played up to that point in the comics. He's fast, yes, but not in the Superman-WW league.

    I would have to give Wonder Woman above Superman reaction speed based on quotes and feats.... However, its due to her training and not purely physiological.  Meaning, If Superman were trained to the same level as Wonder Woman he would probably be faster with the reflexes.

    in that comic she was able to travel fast enough to almost follow Jesse into the speed force.... The reason why she does not use that speed much is because she has no control at that speed... she can only do it in a straight line she cant bank and turn very good if at all going that fast.  I believe Superman can

    That's kinda true. And due to his durability there are all kinds of things he doesn't need to catch with his hands he just needs to block with is body.

    I cant find the scan but i know i have seen one where Jonnz states people forget that he is almost on par with Superman. I cant remember if he said as fast as or as strong as or what but i would guess he is stronger then Wonder Woman

    The only limit that has been placed on her, to my knowledge, is that Flash is faster than her but she can easily keep up with his regular speed. She's been shown to easily surpass the speed of sound and once moved so fast people were sure that she went into a dressing room and came out at the same time(which would probably take speeds around the speed of light if not faster). Really I dont think we have a known limit for her besides not being as fast as flash, and id guess also superman(but to a much lesser extent). Really power levels fluctuate and it depends on the writer and the story (if they need to be stronger they will be and if they need to be as fast as something they will be) but i think its safe to say that she's in the upper echelon wrt speed but not as fast as Flash and a little below Superman(at his highest levels at least).

    Too fast for Kara currently. She also kept up with Hermes, the supposed god of speed. Although we don't know how fast they were going, one can assume they were going pretty fast.

    @saint_sophie: Yeah, it also depends on the versions too. Flashpoint Wonder Woman is as fast as Wally West and Post-Crisis had crazy speed levels. I guess New 52 Wonder Woman might gain so more speed feats over time.

    IIRC, Azz said on twitter Current Diana's suppose to be faster than Post Crisis Wonder Woman. And she probably will get better speed feats over time i guess. It's been only 4 years in the New 52. Most of Diana's more noteworthy feats Pre 52 came around early-mid 2000s iirc.

    Also, FP WW being as fast as Wally? I'll have to reread it, but I'm not so sure Wally was even going all out on that one or going as fast at his full potential. After all, even when he subdued her he held back. He did only hit her skull at half the speed of light yet he can go and thus hit much faster than half the speed of light.

    We haven't actually had too many notable speed feats for Wonder Woman in the Rebirth era. She's been able to keep up with Superman in travel speed, block heat vision before Flash could dodge it and blitz Superman in a recent Justice League issue, but that's about it.

    Wonder Woman is fast but she has never been as fast as the Flash or Superman, both of them have demonstrated, on numerous occasions the ability to vibrate their molecules so fast that they can pass though solid object, Wonder Woman has never demonstrated that level of speed, so I think the writer who wrote that who is faster Bolt or Lee is obviously a kid who needs to do his homework.

    @chenry1986: Justice League (2018) Issue 49. Superman is about to try to block what he thinks are energy blasts from a space cannon or something and Wonder Woman blitzes him to move him out of the way, as the blasts are actually the souls of departed Throtha, the alien race of that particular story.

    Wonder Woman literally outspeeded half the speed of light Jesse Quick in Wonder Woman Plus Jesse Quick with her flying speed and ran besides her while at the same time changing clothes, why can't you uninformed trolls not at least just poison the battle forum instead of also the character forums with your silly nonsense?

    @cognitive: she has scaling feats and not like Superman but she does tag kryptonians in combat who do have ftl feats. She can react to ftl characters but she lacks travel/movement speeds. And I said at her maximum. That's where I put her limits.
