Captain America and Wolverine are two iconic superheroes from the Marvel Comics universe. One is the leader of the Avengers, the other is a prominent member of the X-Men. Regularly, fans wonder which mutant or super-soldier could win in case of confrontation. Well, Marvel Comics has provided an answer. Indeed, readers learn which of Captain America or Wolverine runs faster!
Wolverine vs Captain America: two great figures of Marvel
Is it really necessary to present these two great figures of The House of Ideas? Well, for the few readers who are dozing at the back of the room, let's do a quick recap. Wolverine is arguably the most famous mutant in the entire Marvel stable. Created in 1974 by Roy Thomas, Len Wein and penciller John Romita Sr., Logan, aka Wolverine, is one of the most powerful mutants in the entire Marvel Universe. Its regenerative abilities make it virtually immortal and its longevity is fantastic. With his claws (first bone and then adamantium), this anti-hero uses sometimes violent methods, very different from our friend Captain America. In cinema, the clawed mutant was played for 17 years by the inimitable Hugh Jackman. 
On the other side, there's Captain America, created in 1940 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. A soldier during World War II, Steve Rogers receives a super-soldier serum that gives him incredible strength, endurance and stamina. Banner of freedom in the United States during the war, the rest of the story you know. He knocks down Red Skull and Baron Zemo before sinking into the ice. Frozen for decades, he is then awakened in the modern era and becomes one of the founding members of the Avengers. In cinema, the character is played by Chris Evans since Captain America – First Avenger in 2011.
Who is the faster of the two heroes?
Captain America and Wolverine have already clashed in the pages of the comics (amicably of course). And these two vigilantes have roughly equal strength. Even if Cap hits harder, Wolvie is more resilient. And if it is difficult to know who is really the stronger of the two, we can tell you which one is the faster! 
Indeed, in the comics, Wolverine learns an unexpected new ability: running. In Wolverine #4, from the saga of Alan Davis and Paul Cornell released in 2013, Logan understands that he is able to run at a crazy speed. Aided by Dr. Victoria von Frankenstein, the daughter of the famous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the clawed mutant develops a superhuman ability that allows him to run at a crazy speed at the cost of unbearable pain. To summarize simply, Logan can use his muscles in a self-destructive way to go faster. It can push the capacity of its muscles to the point of tearing to reach a speed of 160 km / h. Thanks to its regeneration factor, it then reforms its muscles. A very effective ability, but that works only over a short distance, the time that his legs tear into a thousand pieces. 
For his part, Captain America also runs very fast. Just ask the Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. According to the book Wakanda Files: A Technical Exploration of the Avengers and Beyond, published in 2020, the speed of Cap is set at 41 km/h. Even though it is estimated that the super-soldier is able to surpass himself and double his walking speed in an emergency, he remains far below Wolverine. So, even if we don't yet know who is stronger, Wolverine is unquestionably the faster of the two!
