So while I'm not familiar with the source material, a good generic starting point for a speedster might be something like DX 16 [120]; HT 12 [20]; Basic Speed 10.00 [60]; Altered Time Rate 1 [100]; Enhanced Time Sense [45]; Enhanced Move 4.5 (Ground; Second-Nature, +150%) [225]; Extra Attack 1 (Multi-Strike, +25%) [30].

When I built La Gata Encantada for a friend's GURPS Supers campaign, I gave her DX and Per 19, Basic Speed and Basic Move 12, Enhanced Move 1 (Ground), Enhanced Time Sense, Extra Attack 1 (Multi-Strike), Super Jump 2, and Super Throw 5. I didn't give her Striking Strength; her bones weren't extra strong, so she could hurt herself by hitting something hard with her fist. I was aiming more at a "Spider-man" speedster than a Quicksilver or Flash speedster. Her Move only got her up to 48 mph, not quite up to freeway speeds, but she was HIGHLY maneuverable . . .
