...yeah see, that comparison doesn't actually work. flash has used his powers to a crazy high level before. it's not an issue of him being 'totally out of character' because he's shown that it very much so IS. the issue comes from the circumstances are very rare and extreme when he'll show that kind of willingness. if you were to assume that what you're seeing is the furthest that they have ever gone then it's actually not wrong. if you assume it's what a normal fight is to them, then it is. so the character's mostly right, the power level's mostly right, but the scenario between the two doesn't fit 90% of the time.
it gets mentioned with Flash the most simply because of how big a gap you run there - one minute he's on the justice league fighting in a similar tier along with some high level beings, yet he ends up being knocked aside like a chump. i mean it's an issue for all of them, but at least Supes, GL, and WW get good showings every so often. Flash ends up getting treated like crap in most team ups. but then you get to his runs and... it's not.
people should just be happy nobody's ever tried to legitimately get Zoom in.
