So how fast is The Flash?
Heard he was as fast as a bullet, Wondering because I read comics but never Flash and only going to read if he is really fast
If we're talking full power flash, there's pic related. In most comics though, he's still fair with his speed most of the time, it's pretty fucking fast still

He's fast. REALLY fucking fast. Like around the world in a few seconds/minutes depending on the writer. The problem is that there is very little consistency as to what his normal "maximum" speed is without just making every story be instantly over. Pretty much he's as fast as the story needs him to be. So he can be as "slow" as running across a metropolitan city in a few seconds to as fast that he warps time and space.

You could fire a bullet, and he would snatch it out of the the air and stuff it up your ass before you knew what happened

I've never understood the catching a bullet thing.
So, yeah, you're fast enough to catch it, but it's gotta take some strength to stop its momentum, right? And what about how hot that shit is after it's fired?

Sure if he is walking backwards on one leg.

To the flash, the bullet's momentum means fucknothing because to him it's traveling at a slower rate than you can imagine, and he wouldn't get burned because he would only be touching it for a fraction of a second

Just have to have more momentum which gives you more force.

Wally was able to outright stop momentum. Well, the actual way he worded it was "stealing speed".
>>81144024
he is as fast as the story demands

Anything from around the speed of sound to several times the speed of light or even literal omnipresency.
Basically just as fast as the writer feels like he should be that day.
>>81144024
faster than page 11
>>81144024
He is as fast as the writer needs him to be.
>>81144493
The flash moving his hand faster than the bullet gives him way more momentum than the bullet.

Why do they call him "the Flash"?
That is a funny name!

You wasted our time for that?
Maybe you should get off this board and do something that's more attuned to your mental speed, like watching Chima or something.
>>81144024
Fast as the plot need him save the day to and slow a the plot need him to jobbing
>>81144024
Flash is as fast as the writer needs him to be

Look at this entitled idiot. Wasted your time? Your valuable time that you are spending on 4chan.
Dude wanted to know why he's called The Flash. You're such a fucking smartypants, maybe you can assist the gentleman. Why is he, in the most widely accepted origin, called The Flash?
