That's exactly what I thought when I was watching that scene with that superfast dude in X Men where he saves a bunch of people by carrying them away from an explosion. They must accelerate from 1 to 1000 km/h in a mere second.
The scene is still awesome, but I don't think anyone would be alive after that.
Edit: https://youtu.be/ZnZqB5Z75zI?si=41ohBuk03Xuy5RGl
He would have created his own explosions just getting there either from the friction of moving all that air out of his way so he didn't collide with the atoms, or from the nuclear forces involved in colliding his atoms with the air's (and still creating a lot of friction in the process).
It would be like that light speed baseball pitch question and answer that ends up killing everyone in the stadium with a nuclear blast.
And Xavier would have done one of those himself in X2 when he freezes time at the mall... Maybe, actually I'm not clear if his ability is a time stop or if he did a mind control on everyone and made them stand still. There's another one like that in Logan, though Logan is able to fight through it, which kinda makes it even less clear exactly what he's doing. Powers!
Relevant XKCD
The final paragraph is amazing.
Now in video!
Yeah, Xavier can't stop time, he can just mind control people into standing still.
Yeah, with the Flash, there's the "speedforce" excuse, but quicksilver has never had that kind of effect given as part of his power set.
I hate the flash as a superhero... The dude is literally unbeatable, but he just chooses to like, not really bother.
Have you never been so lazy you watch yourself get punched at a snails pace?
Man's literally the least lazy person alive...
He just can't care anymore. Life is suffering.
