Let's not even get too deep into that one time that Superboy once moved every planet in a galaxy to another galaxy, in a day, with a giant chain. Yeah poo poo was ridiculous once, even by comicbook standards. Polaron posted:There's a moment in one of the comics where Superman is running alongside Flash and they have a conversation that goes something like this: That scene is out of Flash: Rebirth incidentally, which was Geoff Johns' mini-series to revamp the Flash lore, and particularly, Barry Allen. Its one of the sources directly influencing the show in terms of the TV character's background. Man I would love to see the Flash charity races on the show. Doesn't even need Superman to compete with since they've got the endurance issues, plus Barry not always going at top speed. Just has to beat the time limit.

This is what I am really looking forward to, the Flash even more than Supes or Spidey is a people's hero. He doesn't just beat up villains and save people from falling or whatever, he will help people with mundane tasks like changing a tire or delivering meals to the elderly because he has just so much time in the day. And the people reward him with a museum and parades and poo poo. This is also why, when they have the occasional storyline where people get mad at the impact he causes, he gets super disillusioned because he is not used to that type of treatment, he wants to be fast enough to help everyone. twistedmentat posted:Isn't the Black Flash the Black Racer? Depends on the writer, at various points some like to equate things while others like to differentiate. Like at other times the Speed Force was basically explained to be a variation/part of/another name for The Source, which is another New Gods thing.

In The Human Race, Wally West has to race an alien who can instantaneously teleport to earth from like the other side of the universe. He wins. I've never bought The Flash being slower than anyone or anything.

Wezlar posted:If you say he took two every trip (less than quoted) thats 250000 trips x 70 miles (35 miles each way) = 17500000 miles in .00000000001 seconds = 175 000 000 000 000 000 m/s. The speed of light is 299 792 458 m/s If he actually did that at "a hair's breadth short of the speed of light", let's say 299,792,450 m/s, he would've completed the evacuation in about 93 seconds. Still a superheroic effort by far, but not enough to outrun the initial radiation burst or most of the shockwave damage in the guaranteed kill zone. Although really, the show is the same way with his powers since someone moving anywhere near the speed of sound would still be easily visible in all of those "hey where'd Barry go?" moments, he gets across town in seconds instead of minutes and his normal clothes aren't shredded to rags whenever he goes faster than ~200 mph. Barry works on a far lower power scale in the show but they both take huge liberties to deliver those "whoa that was cool" moments. And we mostly don't care because whoa, that was cool!

All right lets say he keeps to 500 MPH.Then we have the light speed episode next year. Then he figures out he can go faster and everything changes. They should let me write this.

Pwnstar posted:In the comics didn't the Flash once punch a guy at the speed of light and cause a nuclear explosion or something like that? That would be the 'Infinite Mass Punch'. Previously it had been a point that the powers meant that relative mass didn't apply to speedsters, but Grant Morrison ignored that for his Justice League run so that he could have Flash punch out a White Martian (as in, more powerful than the Martian Manhunter, himself on par with Supes ror strength alome) by hitting like, as the narration put it, 'a white dwarf star'. The scene became iconic, in no small part because it bumped the Flash up from merely fast to destructive powerhouse that could take on Superman if need be, and then was solidified in the fight with Brainthor on the JLU tv series as part of popular culture. Drifter posted:"Hey, guys! Watch me do a cartwheel! OHhhh SHI-" "...Dad?" "I may call a lot of people son, but none of them actually are. Name's Jay Garrick."

There's way too much alternate version of a hero stuff in Flashpoint to work in a show that only has the Flash, the Green Arrow family, and potentially Firestorm. Like there's very little to it otherwise. The basics of Barry in an alternate timeline having to recreate his powers could work, though.

But Flash in an alternate world would be boss. Especially if Oliver is in the episode as a rich idiot who never went to the island (Seem to remember flashpoint causing all sorts of weird stuff that seemingly has no connection to Barry). Hell it would give them an excuse to bring Tommy and Moira back for an episode as well.

Flashpoint is part of the trigger for the New 52 reset iirc so it did a lot of things not connected to The Flash. I would also like a Golden Age alternate universe jump complete with Mercury blessed Flash and a clean shaven Green Arrow in his Robin Hood outfit

I like how the writer clearly states he's traveling AT LEAST escape velocity, and then the next panel he's crashing back down to the ground.

To be fair, you still have to be pointed the right way for that to work. Barry hit the dude near vertical - its simply due to the curvature of the Earth at all that he ends up circling the atmosphere. Yes I am applying logic to a scene wherein a dude accelerates to the speed of light to punch someone.

Ignoring air resistance, 7 mi/sec is enough so long as you don't hit someone directly into the ground. The rotation of the Earth just adds or subtracts from your effective speed based on the angle, and hitting someone vertical it will exclusively add, while minimizing the air you pass through. He'd end up in an independent orbit around the sun. Flash facts.

Astro Nut posted:IIRC, he was from the 31st century, same as the Legion of Superheroes, though referred to Barry as 'Grandpa' because no way was he trying to spout off how many greats it took. Also far down enough in the family line that he was descended from both the Flash and Professor Zoom, the latter of whom came from closer to the... 25th century, I think. Also I believe he was actually chronologically a child because of age acceleration, and helping to shake off the excess energies causing that is how Wally got to know him. Nah, Bart's actually his grandson. Iris and Barry spent a month together in the 30th century before Barry sacrificed himself in the Crisis(The how and why is a very, very long story) where Iris became pregnant with twins. The boy twin, Don, eventually had a son who he named after his dad, Bart Allen. Bart technically only existed for two years but the secret government organization that was studying his super powers plugged him into a virtual reality box which kept up with his rapid aging so he's lived a "full" life that a 12 year old could live (Given his circumstances) even if the Earth only went around the Sun twice. edit -- hm looks like someone already addressed this. Not sure why it needs a spoiler, I'm pretty sure Iris isn't a baby from the thirtieth century sent back in time for weird reasons in this show.

Barry's never hit someone with the force of a white dwarf star, as I'm aware. He only came in after Johns took over the Flash and Johns made a point to kind of reign in Wally (And all the speedsters) from their really crazy stuff they did under Waid and Morrison. One day Morrison will get a full run on The Flash and it will be amazing.

Whizbang posted:Flashpoint causes an alternate universe where Tommy is the Arrow. I kinda hope they do the standard issue alternate universe where everyone's morality is flipped episode at some point. Heroic billionaire philanthropist Malcolm Merlyn, evil super-fast heist artist Barry Allen, a mysterious cyberterrorist with a tendency to ramble in a menacing, but charmingly befuddled manner. Astro Nut posted:That scene is out of Flash: Rebirth incidentally, which was Geoff Johns' mini-series to revamp the Flash lore, and particularly, Barry Allen. Its one of the sources directly influencing the show in terms of the TV character's background. They could also do it if they can work out a crossover deal with that Supergirl show that's being put together. Also, weirdly, I think the Smallville episode with Bart Allen came before Johns wrote that book. Same basic scene, except it's all visual. Bart and Clark are playfully racing alongside each other... then Bart starts running BACKWARDS and keeping pace. Then he smirks and turns back around and is just FWOOOSH gone.
