"I run fast!"

Bitch, Superman is fast, why do we need you?

Also you trip all the time.

And how is a super-fast dude threatened by a dude with boomerangs?

Lame af

I don't know much about hero power levels, but aren't speedsters quite powerful because it essentially gives you control over time?

It's not that he's fast. His power is he can tap into the speed force and being fast is just one of its powers. He's so fast that he can break down every cell of his body to go through stuff and reconstruct it. I dunno LOL just shooting the shit.

Its almost laughable how OP he is. In one episode hes like running around for 20 mins while an explosion is slowly happening. In the next episode the villain runs around the corner and gets away. Like, lol. How? I just saw you basically freeze time. How could some guy turning the corner possibly get away?

The problem is that writers dont know how to write speedsters with good weaknesses in mind so they either make sure theyre conveniently absent where they would be useful or make them do something completely stupid so they cannot be useful.

Nothing is as annoying as Season 5. Every time Cicada just kinda...jumps. And gets away.

"oh shoot guess we lost him"

What, does he jump faster than The Flash can run? The people writing the show both do and do not understand the implications of his speed. Somehow they can write an episode where he spends almost the whole duration in "flash time" moving at like one millionth of a second per second...but he also can't just follow behind some guy because he jumped.

The Flash is so OP, it's no wonder he's a difficult character to write. Like outside of Reverse Flash, who is a credible threat to him?

To be fair, I think it's important to point out that, given how comic continuity works, you can safely write off that page as nothing more than a writer doing a half-assed Google search for the smallest measurement of time without actually thinking through the implications of what it means on his power set.

Wouldn't friction from the air make him catch on fire going that fast? Like when shit comes in from orbit at 30k mph

Look up the infinite mass punch. It's pretty much one of Flash's strongest moves. It has knocked out Superman before.

The speed force keeps him safe from the ramifications of going that fast, in most cases.

The answer to any question you might have about the flash is "the speed force."

The speed force is a poorly defined plane of raw energy that the flash taps into as the source of his powers. How do his clothes not rip? Speed force. How does he not burn up from friction? Speed force. How does he hold regular conversation? Speed force. How can he see anything if he's moving faster than the speed of light? You guessed it, speed force.

The speed force protects him. It's dumb, but necessary so he doesn't explode when going extremely fast lol.
