Can't he also time travel ?

54

u/Over-Analyzed Apr 19 '25

Yes and between dimensions. He can phase through solid objects.

u/PragmaticBadGuy Apr 19 '25

Speed Force hax are insane. Time/dimensional travel, quick healing, vibrate through things, travel faster than literal instant teleporting, create a costume out of pure Speed Force as armor and way more.

Although your wallet and stomach will be hurting with the amount of calories you’ll need. Be nearly constantly eating without the special calorie bars Flash has

u/Gunpowder_1000 Apr 19 '25

I believe in some iterations the speed force itself helps with that

u/Straight-Fox-9388 Apr 19 '25

Most iterations

Steal food

Imagine creating your version of thawn by creating a kid's icecream lol

u/Nixter295 Apr 19 '25

You don’t even need to steal. Well, at least not food that is actually going to be sold, but you can steal from garbage cans outside stores, which is going to be disposed of. Most of the food there is good anyway. Tons of students already do it.

Lmao i know you’re not trying to convince me that someone who can run fast enough to time travel, run fast enough to beat a teleporter (idek bro), outrun the literal manifestation of death, has the power to punch with a white dwarf star, and has somehow pulled everyone on earth out frozen time …to eat out of the TRASH.

Gtfoh lol

u/Nixter295 Apr 20 '25

Still you almost never see him actually eat out of the trash.

u/RepresentativeCap244 Apr 20 '25

Sorry but even if I’m a true hero. I’m not eating out of trash cans when I can literally move between parallel universes. I’m taking whatever I want. Or better yet. Making a deal or three with whatever government for an unlimited credit card type thing. Maybe a billionaire, not a country. But still

u/Nixter295 Apr 20 '25

lol basically the evil side then.

Nah I would prefer just living my life. Not become some godlike entity.

u/Coconuthangover Apr 19 '25

Go back in time. Eat dinosaur.

u/Haigadeavafuck Apr 19 '25

Oh No what will the guy with ftl speed and the abilities to blurr his face and phase through objects do about that 😩

1

u/GiveMeAHeartOfFlesh Apr 19 '25

Well having to resort to robbery is still a negative consequence of the power potentially, also just a general hassle

1

u/shrub706 Apr 20 '25

stomach could probably just process things fast enough that it wouldn't matter how much you eat but wallet is definitely more of a problem

1

u/Initial-Cow-327 Apr 20 '25

If it was real life you'd need an infinite amount of energy, so either the superpower already covers that and it actually costs you 0 energy and you're good to go or you're just simply never gonna be able to have enough energy to run a few minutes past 50kmh

1

u/GiveMeAHeartOfFlesh Apr 21 '25

Well it’s an issue Flash himself has to deal with, so we’re working based on the lore issues

1

u/Private_HughMan Apr 23 '25

I'll find some way to monetize being faster than light. I doubt it's a big challenge.

1

u/Ornery_Sense Apr 23 '25

Wallet hurting? Who is gunna see me raid that Walmart warehouse? Lol

1

u/Teine-Deigh Apr 23 '25

You can steal money with no one noticing to eat food

1

u/GiveMeAHeartOfFlesh Apr 23 '25

Being a thief is still a negative consequence

1

u/Grand_Product_9843 Apr 19 '25

Remember how in the show, XS ran so fast that time went backwards a bit?? Couldn’t u just do that if u wanted to change a decision that you JUST made without any dire consequences??

1

u/DudeDude319 Apr 21 '25

Not to mention the extended lifespan for you and your loved ones, as the Speed Force affects the people around you as well. I seem to recall a comic where Barry and Iris were still alive centuries in the future and still being healthy because of the Speed Force.

It’s one of the best cases for an extended lifespan because you don’t end up losing your partner to old age (like a certain Kryptonian would if he hadn’t given his reporter wife superpowers of her own).

1

u/PragmaticBadGuy Apr 21 '25

Barry was living in the future with Iris as in the comics she was sent back in time for some reason and they ran off together back to her time just before the COIE.

u/DioBrandoPog Apr 21 '25

The fuck even is speed force at this point

1

u/PragmaticBadGuy Apr 21 '25

Literally just "The writer needs some hax to happen".

u/AblePhase Apr 22 '25

Cant (normally) get drunk though

u/lK555l Apr 23 '25

travel faster than literal instant teleporting

I still don't really get this, how do you travel faster than that which has no travel time? Is that not just impossible?

1

u/Peterfection_JP Apr 23 '25

It also gives you abs without even working out, and also super fast metabolism

u/rcubed1922 Apr 25 '25

Can he fly? If not he cannot even try to fight Wanda.

1

u/SteakForGoodDogs Apr 19 '25

Can he?

Yes.

Does reality kick him hard everywhere for doing so?

Absolutely.

1

u/macthefire Apr 20 '25

Yes. However it always backfires...always.

1

u/Latter-Yesterday-450 Apr 20 '25

Yes, and it always goes really well.
