With the Flash TV Show coming soon and he being one of the most intriguing heroes I decided to make a thread with all the cool abilities the Flash possesses. Following are all of the Flash’s abilities (That I could find). It’s n0t sorted in any special way, so you can sort it coolest to lamest at your will.
Supercharged Brain Activity – The list
kicks off with the power we all wish for. The Flash’s speed is not only in his legs;
his whole body is sped up, as well as his brain. The Flash’s brain is so fast,
he can theorize and test theories in a matter of seconds, on some occasions he can
think of all the possible alternatives before making a decision.
Stop Time – This isn’t an official
ability but the flash’s high speed makes him go so fast that the world behind
him stops. He uses this ability to stop crimes, or save cappuccinos.
Enhanced Sense – If a “normal” person
had the ability to run as fast as the Flash, they would miss all the side
events happening on their way. This ability lets the Flash sense these events.
Slow Aging – Unlike the Flash’s other
abilities this is not related to high speeds, whereas this ability SLOWS his
aging; the Flash could live for centuries, unfortunately this ability hasn’t
been explored in the comics yet (that I know of).
Vibrate Through Objects (Quantum Tunneling) – Of all of Flash’s
abilities this might be the one I understand the least. It’s all about Quantum
Mechanics; so the Flash’s molecules can move very fast, when he makes his molecules
vibrate, they vibrate in such a way, they’re absorbed by a solid; this process
in Quantum Physics is called Quantum Tunneling.
Fast Healing – Now I
restate, The Flash’s speed is not only in his legs. When a human being would
take months to heal from a broken wrist, Barry would only take 3 hours because
of his bond with the Speed Force. This is one of the most intriguing ability
the Speed Force comes with.
Think & React at Speed of Light – The
Speed Force allows Barry to stop time in his mind so he can analyze and react
to things at the speed of light. This ability ties in with Time Stopping and
supercharged brain activity.
Super Speed – Now this is the one we
all know about, but if you are not familiar with it, the Speed Force allows
Barry to run up to 13 trillion times the speed of light (I actually did some
research).
Speed Force Aura – This ability explains
a lot of my questions; if the Flash didn’t wear his costume, his clothes would
be ripped or set on fire by the great speed. Also the Speed Force provides him with
the necessary abilities to withstand the consequences of his high speeds. Now,
this ability lets whoever the Flash is carrying be safe in the Speed Force
Aura.
Self-Sustenance – When [the struggle is
real] the Flash can be directed to the Speed Force. But this will cause sped up
metabolism, forcing the Flash to constantly have to eat.
Running On Water – This ability is a
consequence of Super Speed; with it, he can run so fast he has no time to sink.
He uses the surface tension of the water to stay afloat and run.
Vortexes – Last, but not least, Barry
can move his arms so quickly that he creates vortexes moving air very fast. He
uses these to fly and swim.
VERDICT
And now, to
the verdict; the Flash, or more specifically its power, is the coolest power of
all. This is excluding superman powerS because, as I highlighted S, are a MIX
of powers all in one, and those powers also include super speed, but not the
Speed Force Bond.
As I was saying, the Speed Force comes with more advantages
related to speed and many other abilities are still to be found.
I hope
you enjoyed the thread and go check out The Flash’s series premiere on October
7th on The CW.
