Your choices are many and varied if you want to make a scrapper whose is a Flash or Quicksilver type hero.
Primaries:
Martial Arts - It isn't flashy, but it's plenty powerful and fits the theme of the unarmed super speedster.
Electric - The Flash always had an electric motif. Yours could be the manipulation of static electricity built up from your running, maybe?
Claws - The fastest recharging set with the fastest animations, Claws also has a couple of ranged attacks that could be interpreted as you moving so quickly that you created a projectile out of displaced air. Because they're so lightweight, they'd be the only weapon, other than Dual Blades with daggers or something, that I'd suggest.
Secondaries:
Regeneration - Super Speed might translate into an accelerated healing rate.
Willpower - Willpower could be roleplayed as ANYTHING. It just means you're sturdy.
Super Reflexes - You dodge attacks at super speed.
Electric - Your amped up Super Speedster nervous system channels arcing electricity for protection, maybe?
Invulnerability - Your powers generate a shield which protects you from the friction generated by traveling at super speed, and can be activated to protect you from other attacks, as well.
Shield - I dunno. You could be a guy with super speed and a shield?
Personally, I'd go with either MA or Claws for the primary and Elec, Regen, or SR for the secondary. MA/SR or MA/Regen if you want to BE the Flash.
My traditional answer to this question has been MA/SR with Quickness, Hasten, and Super Speed, using the vet reward attack Sands of Mu for fast punching. I also take regeneration bonuses from set IOs to represent accelerated healing (as well as recharge bonuses, of course).
But the suggestions above are creative, and worth consideration; I would add perhaps Dark Melee for speed-punching, especially now that you can alter the color and tone it down.

Thank you all for the advice.
In related news I decided on Elec/SR. I like it but I think I need a slotting guide, any suggestions?
You pay to play. Having fun is ok. Kill Skuls or kill Crey. Hunt at night or in the day. Black or white or shades of grey. Play it your way. We have no say.

There was ALOT of room in this build. It's not in the best power order, but It's slotted for defense and is at/beyond the softcap with combat jumping off. I think I went a little overboard, but it should do fine. There's plenty of power leway and room for what you want in there, and there's also a display of different ways to slot attacks. Once you hit the softcap for all 3 positions you can slot with +hp and +recovery in mind.
Again, I think I went a little overboard, but here it is.

Still, the -KB would be handy for those times when you spawn and Practiced Brawler hasn't recharged.
This is the build I went with, I found it in the land of mythical junk.

I normally save I/O for 50 as I like to save my money. So an S/O slotting guide, or just a general guide on what to slot would be appreciated. Thanks for the help guys.
You pay to play. Having fun is ok. Kill Skuls or kill Crey. Hunt at night or in the day. Black or white or shades of grey. Play it your way. We have no say.

So I am intending on building a super speedster and I was wondering what the best powerset choices would be.
Obviously he will be a scrapper.
Oh and if there are guides, a linkie would be nice please.
