Interlude: When it comes to speedsters history always painted them as the fastest people alive until they realized that they are no longer the fastest and they will do whatever it takes to stay the fastest. Either through sheer training or an overdose of drugs.

Speed of Sound Sonic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstory: Young Sonic was born in a Ninja Village where he was training to become a ninja like his friend Flashy Flash. Over the course of their training he told Flash about his plan to become the strongest ninja around and they ere friends until one day a hero named Blast came to the village and slaughtered them all except for Sonic and Flash. Sometime after the incident Sonic went through assassination training and soon do some odd jobs with some people rich people. Which led to the one man that will get him to train like hell, the One Punch Man himself Saitama. And he became the self declared eternal rival of a hero so strong that not even Blast himself can't keep up with him.

Background:

-Name: Speed of Sound Sonic

-Smokescreen Shuriken

Move Set:

-Full Frontal Attack: Sonic takes a low stance and rushes forward at speeds that make him impossible to be seen. The effect of this attack is not known because it was interrupted by Hammerhead.

-Wind Blade Kick (風刃脚, Fujin Kyaku): Sonic throws himself at his foe and does a front flip, during which he throws his foot out to kick his opponent using the momentum of the flip.

-Hail of Carnage (殺戮乱陣, Satsuriku ran-jin): Sonic leaps around throwing his exploding shuriken at cars, buildings and people to cause massive amounts of panic and mayhem.

-Two Shadows Burial (二影葬, Niei-sō): Sonic creates two afterimages.

>Sonic Heavy Barrage (音速重連拳, Onsoku Jūren Ken): Sonic delivers multiple punches to his opponent.

-Four Shadows Burial (四影葬, Shi kage-sō): Sonic creates four identical afterimages through a special movement technique.

>Scattered Flash Slash (散閃斬, Chisenki): Used in a combo with the Four Shadows Burial, the four afterimages surround the target at the same time with the ninjatō.

-Ten Shadows Burial (十影葬, Jū kage-sō): Same with four shadows burial, but with ten identical afterimages in total.

-Exploding Shuriken Ferocious Barrage (爆裂手裏剣 猛襲陣, Bakuretsu Shuriken Mōshū-jin): Sonic throws a barrage of Homing Exploding Shuriken that chase down and explode upon impact with his target.

-Serious Side Hops (マジ反復横とび, Maji Hanpukuyokotobi): Sonic can perform an inferior imitation of Saitama's , Serious Side Hops. Sonic hops from side-to-side rapidly. Doing so creates a multitude of afterimages in the form of a wall. Sonic then charges at his opponent, however, the resulting shock wave was not strong enough to take down any members of the Heavenly Ninja Party and left Sonic exhausted.

-Speed of Sound Electric Discharge Fist (音速放雷拳, Onsoku Hōrai Ken): Sonic extends his finger and pokes his opponents on the head, unleashing powerful shots of electricity and killing them. This move managed to easily kill all the Neo Heroes sent to eliminate him despite possessing their battle suits

Feats(Strength and Durability):

-ONE stated that a fight between Genos and Sonic would end in a draw

-Can defeat the Deep Sea King in his hydrated state when he has his weapons with him

-Scales to Fubuki

-Surprised Flashy Flash in a sparring match

-Tanked Flashy Flash's Flash Kick

Feats(Speed):

-ONE stated that a fight between Genos and Sonic would end in a draw

-Can move so fast that Fubuki can't perceive him

-Faster than Metal Bat

-Killed all of the Paradise Group before they had time to react 

-Blitzed the Deep Sea King

Stats(Strength and Durability):

-Scaling to Deep Sea King

>The Deep Sea King is a Demon Level Threat which is a threat endangering a whole city or its infrastructure and to take down a Demon Level Threat is 10 Class A heroes or 1 S-Class Hero. So how powerful is one Class S Hero? According to the requirements to beat a Demon Level Threat

>So we can use this info as a 10x multiplier in his dehydrated state against Pri-Pri Prisoner and another 10x multiplier for his hydrated state

>A trio of monsters called The 3 Crows fought against Suiryu who was strong enough to disperse a cloud with 65.12 kilotons and Lightning Max killed one of these crows and since Deep Sea King beaten Pri-Pri Prisoner and since Sonic can kill the Deep Sea King at his most powerful when he has his sword with him

>65.12 x 10 x 10 = 6512 kilotons or 7 megatons which is City Level

>And after the training he had he would be 10x stronger and since he's comparable to Genos he gets another 10x multiplier since Sonic fought Genos after he casually beaten Mosquito Girl and Deep Sea King in a simulation

>7 x 10 x 10 = 700 megatons which is Mountain level

>And if Sonic and Genos ever fight each other again he would get 10x stronger each time

>700 x 10 x 10 = 70,000 megatons or 70 gigatons which is island level

-Scaling to Fubuki

>At her most powerful she is comparable to a guy named Apollo who was able to cause an Earthquake in the Hero association which is 16.2 gigatons on the highest magnitude which is 10, that is an Island Level feat she can scale to, however this is a feat done by an artificial Esper so clearly natural born espers like Fubuki and Tatsumaki can do it better

>This is consistent with surprising Flashy Flash in a sparing match and even tanked one of his kicks

Final Verdict: Island Level

Stats(Speed):

-Scaling to Metal Bat

>Metal Bat is fast enough to black an attack from Sage Centipede who's able to spin his body at speeds of Mach 732 which is Massively Hypersonic+ speeds

>Heck at Metal Bat's fastest he can go to FTL speeds and Sonic can 10x faster than Metal bat

-Scaling to Genos

>Genos can keep up with a weakened fusion of Psykos and Orochi who did this

>Using Human reaction speed, this requires speed of mach 29112 which is Sub relativistic

Final Verdict: 10x FTL

Weaknesses:

-Loses his calm attitude during combat and can go full on sadist

-Really wants to kill Saitama

A-Train

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstory: The year was 1987, shortly after the birth of a black child, the child's parents accepted the offer of Vought injecting the baby with Compound V to give him superpowers. Reginald Franklin grew up very poor during his childhood because his father has died young and his mother had to work 2 jobs. Because of this, his brother Nathan raised him and became his personal trainer once his powers come to life at the age of 3 when he outran bullets of a deadly shooting towards his home and years later he became a top tier superhero and joined a team called the Teenage Kix and attended Godolkin University taught under the teachings of Brink and become the university's top student and graduated in 2015 and got drafted into The Seven and become the successor speedster to Mister Marathon. However time is the one thing A-Train can't outrun, fearing his place as the fastest man in the world he resorted to abusing Compound V which would do more harm to him than good.

Background:

-Name: Reginald Franklin

-Age: 35

-Is white in the comics

-Formerly addicted to Compound V

-Has an estranged relationship with his brother

-He's a sell out

-His costume changed to go back to his African American roots only to be changed back to his Original suit

-One of the few members left of the Seven

Powers:

-Superhuman Metabolism: A-Train possesses a highly efficient and incredibly quick metabolism; unlike regular humans who only use about 25% of the caloric energy present in the consumed food, A-Train metabolizes an estimated 99.5% of the caloric energy content of foodstuffs. While working out, he had to consume 3,000 calories per hour to maintain his energy without passing out. He drinks vanilla milkshakes with extra whipped cream from Shake Shack because he needs 30,000 calories a day, and Homelander has seen him consume 24 cupcakes and nine servings of truffle.

-Superhuman Speed: As the self-proclaimed "world's fastest man" and described as "a fierce competitor" by Shockwave, A-Train is able to move at inhuman speeds, appearing as a distorted blur of motion to onlookers. Every time he uses his superhuman speed, the sound of the sound barrier being broken can be heard, creating a sound similar to that of a train moving at high velocity (hence the name "A-Train"), meaning that he can move around the speed of sound (767 miles per hour/1235 kilometers per hour) with little to no effort. He first discovered his power when he was three years old, where he outran a bullet fired at him. The speed of bullets varies widely depending on the caliber, from 818 miles per hour (1316 kilometres per hour) for a to 2075 miles per hour (3340 kilometres per hour) for a , but this is an impressive accomplishment regardless. During his race with Shockwave for the title of "the fastest man alive", the announcer states that A-Train can reach speeds in excess of 1,000 miles per hour (1,609.34 kilometers per hour/Mach 1.3). In the actual race, even after injecting Compound V, A-Train only managed to reach 371 meters per second (829.9 miles per hour/1,335.6 kilometers per hour/Mach 1.08). His speed allows him to run across entire city blocks in mere seconds— has estimated that A-Train can cover all of Manhattan in 30 minutes, and A-Train himself stated he could cover all of New York City in three hours.He can also presumably run on water, since he was able to run from New York to Havana (the capital of Cuba). It was stated that cameras need to catch up to 5,000 frames per second just so that he can be caught on camera at all times. However, his greatest feat comes from his fight with Starlight, where after using Compound V once again, he managed to dodge her energy beams (which are either made of plasma or pure light), albeit at the cost of having a heart attack.

>Accelerated Perception: A-Train's reaction time and the speed at which his brain processes information are heightened to a level similar to his running speed, enabling him to perceive his surroundings while traveling at high velocities. Because of this, when A-Train moves at high speeds he perceives the world around him as though it is standing still or in slow motion.

>Superhuman Reflexes: Since his brain processing speed and perception are heightened to a level similar to his running speed, A-Train's reflexes are enhanced to inhuman levels the faster he moves. During his fight with Starlight, he was able to see her energy blasts and dodge them before they had a chance to hit him. The fact that his reflexes are tied to his movement speed has caused him to be hit by opponents far slower than him.

>Superhuman Stamina: A-Train's body is adapted towards the rigors of high-speed running. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems are many times more efficient than those of a normal human being. The chemical processes in Reggie's muscles do not generate fatigue toxins, the byproduct of locomotion which forces the body to rest. His metabolism has also been enhanced to the point that most of the caloric energy that he consumes is utilized in an efficient manner, instead of being converted into fat, allowing him to run for prolonged periods of time.

-Superhuman Strength: A-Train possesses superhuman strength, which he used to slam the Female through a wall in the train tunnels. While on Compound V, his strength also allowed him to slowly pull a several-carriage train, and trade blows with as well as knock around Starlight several feet through the air, another individual who also possesses enhanced strength. As he started his race with Shockwave, he broke the stone wall he placed his foot against, and later shattered one off Popclaw's bones when he jammed a needle into her arm.

-Superhuman Durability: A-Train's body is adapted towards the rigors of high-speed running. His joints are smoother, his tendons have the tensile strength of spring steel, and his bones are made of significantly more durable calcium. As such, he was able to withstand the superhuman strength of another supe, Starlight, without issue. He can also withstand the pressure of breaking the sound barrier, the forces of rapid acceleration/deceleration, and hitting another human being at high speeds, without taking any damage. However, was able to give him a compound fracture, meaning that his durability still has its limits.

-Superhuman Agility: A-Train's body is more agile and flexible than any human could achieve. As such, he can rapidly change direction while running without loss of momentum, as seen against Starlight. However if he is going too fast, A-Train is unable to suddenly stop or change his direction, since he has unable to stop himself from killing Robin Ward on time, only managing to stop a moment later.

-Superhuman Hearing: A-Train, being a supe, has better hearing beyond that of ordinary humans, capable of hearing certain frequencies.

-Regenerative Healing Factor: A-Train can rapidly heal from his injuries. He was estimated to recover from a fractured femur in six weeks, however by using Compound V his bones fused back together in a matter of days. Due to his metabolism, his body has more energy available which likely can be used to accelerate his cellular regeneracion.

Feats(Strength and Durability):

-Slammed Kimono through a train station wall

-Knocked down Starlight

-Broke a concrete roadblock in half just by running off of it

-Obliterated Robin Ward by accident while on the V

-Overpowered Blue Hawk and killed him while running

-Tanked a punch from Temp V Hughie

Feats(Speed):

-With the V, he was able to move at speeds of 371 m/s

-Stated that he can search all of Manhattan in 30 minutes

-Runs so fast that people around him are frozen

-Cameras need to catch up to 5000 frames just so that he can be visible

-Stole a vial of Compound V from Starlight before she had time to react

-Outsped a bullet as a child

Stats(Strength and Durability):

-Girlfriend Murdering

>According to Death Battle, they used the accurate height of the actress who plays Robin Ward and say the force required to kill Robin Ward by body slamming her is 437,874 joules or 438 Kilojoules which is Wall Level

-Breaking a Roadblock

>The average roadblock's volume is 604092.73 cubic cnetimeters

>It takes 10 j/cc for fragmenation for reinforced concrete 

>604092.73 x 10 = 6040927.3 joules or 0.001 tons which is Wall Level

-A-Train vs. Shockwave

-Scaling to other supes

>Groundhawk can unleash an output of .1 tons which is Building Level

>As for Lamplighter he melted a metal door which is also .1 tons which again is building level

>And he somewhat scales to Black Noir who can tank the explosion of a chemical plant which is 43 tons which is City Block Level and I know that's a bit of a high ball but if Starlight can get enough electricity to harm Soldier Boy who is comparable to Homelander and A-Train can beat Starlight in a weakened state

Final Verdict: City Block Level

Stats(Speed):

-Covering all of New York in 3 hours

>It takes 3 hours for A-Train to search all of New York the state which is 9092.67 mph or Mach 11 which is Hypersonic+

-Searching all of Manhatten in 30 minutes

>Searching all of Manhattan in 30 minutes requires speeds of 22.82 mph which is Peak Human Speed

-Scaling to Starlight's beams

>A lot of people keep saying that FTL characters in the Boys Universe is an outlier but according to Death Battle, Starlight's beams are just plasma that emits light. Which is 5,000,000 mph or Mach 6568 which is Massively Hypersonic+ which is consistent since Storefront can shoot purple lightning form her hands

-Scaling to Black Noir

>Black Noir managed to dodge Homelander's heat vision in the animated show which is a FTL speed feat. 

> Here's why: 

*1. The beam diffuses in a reasonably realistic way or reflects off a material that it can be expected to, such as a non-magical mirror.

*2. t is stated to be composed/consisting of photons or light itself, again by a reliable source.

*3. It has its origin at a realistic source of light, such as a camera.

>So that would mean it's FTL speed feat and since Starlight can scale to this and A-train is faster than her in a weakened state

Final Verdict: FTL

Weaknesses

-Ego

-His body needs 30,000 calories a day or he gains weight

-Can't stop his momentum if he's going too fast

-Not one of the strongest members in The Seven

-His obsession was the cause of the events of The Boys in the first place

-Compound V abuse can weakened his heart

>And if he runs with a weak heart then he risks himself with a heart attack

-Age is slowing him down

Battle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we see Sonic minding his own business meditating and we see A-Train minding his business as we see Sonic open his eyes, move like a blur and then point a sword to A-Train's neck before he has time to react.

A-Train: "Hey buddy, you do not want to mess with me."

Sonic: "I read the papers, and you are more C-Train than A-Train. Killing a fellow hero, not a wise move."

We then see A-Train run back and then get ready to fight Sonic.

A-Train: "You're about to be schooled by the fastest man alive!"

Sonic: "Bring it."

We then see both A-Train and Sonic charge at each other and then we see Sonic throws kunai at A-train as we see A-Train dodge it and then we see him tackle Sonic to the ground and then grab his leg and then run off at top speeds as we see A-train run all over a highway and then he notices that Sonic is gone and then we see Sonic knock A-Train to the ground with his Wind Blade Kick.

Sonic: "How pathetic."

We then see A-Train disappear and then we see him try to grab Sonic as he then dodged the tackle as we see him throw multiple exploding shurikens at A-Train and he tanked the explosion. We then see A-Train get up and we see Sonic with a sadistic smile on his face and we see Sonic perform his 10 shadows burial around A-Train.

Sonic: "How pathetic of you try to keep up with me."

We then see A-Train pull out a vial of Compound V and then use a device that will inject it into his system giving him a boost in his abilities as we see him try to get Sonic but even with the V, Sonic is just toying with A-Train with his own speed as we see A-Train trying to attack Sonic.

A-Train: "HOW ABOUT YOU STOP MOVING AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!?"

Sonic: *stops moving*"Okay."

A-Train: "YOU'RE DEAD YOU NINJA ASSHOLE!!!!"

We then see A-Train charge at Speed of Sound Sonic and we see Sonic pull out his sword and then we see Sonic swing his sword at A-Train and then we see A-Train's headless body flying at a wall and it splattered to pieces as we see A-Train's head land on the ground in front of Sonic.

Sonic: "Even in death, still a disgrace.
