In the story
Pietro Maximoff is the speedster in a universe that already has flyers, teleporters and a silver surfer. Marvel writes him as astonishingly fast next to ordinary people and other mutants. The films, especially his scenes in the X-Men movies and Avengers: Age of Ultron, sell that as bullet-time: the room stops, he does not.
What is not a measurement
No official figure used. Depicted as a superhuman speedster, not as a measured record. This page does not turn the story into miles per hour.
Marvel Comics
Bullet-time is a camera trick and a power fantasy. It is not a radar gun. Crossover fans like to drop him under the Flash, which is about the companies' reputations as much as the panels. This list does the smaller thing. He is a speedster whose fiction never hands us a stable number, so he sits with the other superhuman runners, under the characters whose stories are about outrunning light, and we print no miles per hour.
The editorial order also includes Sonic the Hedgehog and Makkari. The order is about the scale each story claims. It is not a clock.
