No offense dude, but that just shows you don't fully understand light speed or what comes with it.
A mosquito moving at light speed, hitting you in the face would kill you.

Really? Then why doesn't Flash just run into people and kill them?
I'm sorry, I meant a mosquito hitting Hulk or Juggernaut in the face. I'll bet the person Flash hit wasn't as powerful as Juggernaut or Hulk. A tornado is not powerfuil enough to embedd grass into wood. A blade of grass would be ripped apart and dissapate before it could reach such velocity. Besides, doesn't Flash have to accelerate to light speed? As far as I've seen, he does.
At any rate, Speed is not absolute.
"I don't mean killing regular people. Why doesn't he kill Darksied? Or why didn't he kill Doomsday instead of letting Superman die?"
simple he can't
if someone were to true move at light speed in reality they whould be unstable but in the comic world that can move at light speed.
Say Silver Surfer can move far beyond light speed have we seen him kill people by doing what flash does???
NO
Why? well surfer has too many power and writers can't use them all.
but flash is all about speed put all his attack on speed.
But Jugs and HUlk , both can survive nuclear Explosion , Flash hit can't go beyond that so .
Flash can't really do fast other that what i said early trip , disturb , acid , etc. all day.

The impact from an object at light speed is far greater than a nuke, an object at light speed as infinite or near infinte mass.
"The impact from an object at light speed is far greater than a nuke, an object at light speed as infinite or near infinte mass."
not true
first no solid object can move at speed of light , to do so you will have mass of 0. At at zero mass you ain't hurting nobody.
only Gamma and higher radiation can move after.
But it's been proven than Solid Objects can't travel faster than light.
Well in the comic anything is posible i have never seen do flash hit someone that can do more damage that a nuke.
Logically, Flash's inertial mass would increase as he approaches light speed, not his mass. Still, it would not increase to infinity. However that is... well, strange. I though the speed force stopped Flash from gaining mass? If his mass became infinity, he would have the gravitational pull greater than that of a black hole. He'd collapse upon himself. I've had a hard time believing the "infinity mass punch" theory. If his mass is infinity, how is he strong enough to raise his arm?

the speed force works in mysterious ways. lol 😆

Hulk's ability to absorb energy has nothing to do with his ability to survive the kind of attack Flash would use. Hulk's body might be "virtually indestructable", but he's never had something vibrate THROUGH him at near lightspeed. He's the first one out in this battle.
Charging an object and charging living organic matter are two entirely different things. (e.g. Gambit.) Has Flash ever vibrated through a PERSON before and caused them to explode?

Well, then you must not be very learned then!I spent some time in the mid-west in 2004 (when the tornados were raging through Oklahoma and Kansas). Let me tell you what those twisters did.
They took grass and straw, and drove it THROUGH WOODEN DOORS!
It was insane.
After the storm there were grass blades jutting out of some doors.If a twister can do that, what the heck can something moving at light speed do.
With sufficient speed a small object can cause amazing damage (our anti-missile defence system has a velocity kill vehicle that has no explosive. It uses sheer kinetic energy to destroy incoming nuclear warheads. It basically hits the incoming nuke at high mach speed, totally disintegrating the enemy warhead into cosmic dust. It literally atomizes the target, with nothing but a small object moving at amazing speed).
Imagine what the Flash could do?
And grass has killed people unfortunate enough to be in the midst of a twister. And these blades of grass and straw were not even going faster than 250mph. Imagine a blade of grass, protected by the speed force so it doesn't burn up, travelling at a fraction the speed of light towards Storm's cranium? Imagine a field of grass heading up towards her.
Remember the Flash can impart the speed force to objects, and he is fast enough to literally rip up every blade of grass in a several mile area and throw them up at Storm (in JLA:Trial by Fire he rescued an entire city by picking up people in ones and twos, and evacuating them miles away, in a fraction of a second while a nuclear detonation occured. He rescued 500,000 people in 0.001 of a second. If he can do that it would be nothing to pick up hundreds of thousands blades of grass and turning Storm into a mutant pincushion).
Those two quotes should be enough. Putting grass through Hulk and Juggernaut's eyes is gonna hurt.
