Wonder Woman 1984 - 10 Things You Need To Know About The Cheetah
8. How Fast Is She?
The cheetah is the world's fastest land animal, capable of sprinting over 60 miles per hour. Now, this may sound astoundingly nimble but it's not a big deal in the world of comics. Wonder Woman's reflexes are so incredible, she can effortlessly deflect bullets from a machine gun. How can a supervillain endowed with the agility of a Sub-Saharan spotted cat compete with that?
However, calling Barbara Minerva "the Cheetah" is a little bit misleading since she can move WAY faster than 60mph. On several occasions, the ferocious felon has held her own against speedsters like the Flash and Superman.
When the supervillain, Zoom used his control over the Speed Force on her, it amplified Cheetah's swiftness even further. Currently, Cheetah is the sixth fastest living thing in the universe and among the fastest women in existence. She is quicker than Shazam, Godspeed, and several versions of the Flash.
Despite the fact Wonder Woman is considered one of the best melee fighters in the world, she struggles to keep up with her arch-nemesis in battle due to her staggering speed.
