Well I cannot quote who said it but i read it in the super man homepge. they said that the reason that they dont have him zipping from left to right without getting touched is because they dont want to have be as if he diddnt need the JLA or was just so fast that he can keep taking everyone out without a scratch,that way it keeps the story interesting. Think about it, would it be cool if every time you read the book it was 2 pages long because everytime hed just zoom through and kick everyones ass, cuz thats how long it would be.
Same concept with Sonic no matter how many ring things or platinum plus emeralds he still gets his ass hit every once in a while...same with Flash.
Now as much as we'd like to see that it wouldnt be much of a story now would it?!? no excitement , nothing interesting to keep people reading...
Basically for the same reason that they made all those changes to Superman. Like Pre-Crisis Superman where he'd basically have some random ass powers like flicking the earth away with a pinky and stuff or smething radical like that. Thats why people started complaing...(Marvel) saying he was to strong and everyone else was at a dis-advantage blah blah blah. Well same concept here they have to give it some kind of boundries if not we'd have psyco super people walking around with to much bloody power and that nobody could ever defeat.
That answers your question but this isnt about a popularity contest.
its about a race on an empty plane (....Not airplane) from point A to point B. and like previously stated before sonic with no rings and things has any kind of chance of even remotely keeping up with The Scarlet Speedster a.k.a Big - Wally - Weezeee.
I rest my case!
it's the same with dbz.
the dude gains more power and they say this blast could deystroy the planet but in the next saga they use it and it doesn't do nearly that much.
so you see their is always a way around it if fighting a proper villain.
and no it wouldn't be much of a comic if he just did that everytime but if their not gonna do it and they're able then they may as well not have it
Well i guess if it were like that then there wouldnt be any comic books or fictional stories about super powered beigns and no forums about them for us to discuss it on now would there?...
Oh and Yea Smiley DBZ is F'd up like that, their newly gained powers and their attack levels are never consistant throughout the sagas w/e just weird sh*t from the Land of the Rising Sun! (Japan)
Thank you Draco69 & togoro for havng my back on this!
Oh and smiley that gerbil might be alot faster now but weve had ths discussion before , you know he cant come within miles of the Flash.
i hope ur not stating that he can beat him.
or are you just stating that uve learned of a new speed for the rodent and are just informing us?
