I like Bendis' repetition-style dialogue; it reminds me most of the work of David Mamet, playwright & film director with a screenplay credits list as long as your arm. Early films like The Verdict, his own plays made into films ( Glengarry Glen Ross, Oleanna), writing films like Wag The Dog & Hannibal. The repition style mixed with profanity; watch any of the films and you will think Bendis. Mamet is Jewish too, if that means anything.

The pseudo-science surrounding the Flash is indeed irksome. I'd rather they didn't try that sort of stuff than give us half-baked science.I don't buy the Infinite Mass Punch. If Wally really were subject to relativistic mass dilation, his body would tear inself apart long before he ever reached lightspeed. Furthermore if he were subject to relativistic affects, were he to attempt a speedblitz at greater than 90% lightspeed Wally would be the one who couldn't react fast enough. At .9c 2.3 seconds pass for the body at "rest" for every one second for the Flash. At .9999c 70.1 seconds pass to the oberver at rest for every one second that passes in the Flash's frame of reference. This would introduce all kinds of problems, not the least of which is getting-smashed-by/left-behind-by the planet Earth as it moves through its orbital curve.
The Speed Force is essentially magic. It lets him move outside the rules of spacetime physiscs, but according to some other (poorly defined) rules of its own. While it pays some lip-service to Relativity, it shields DC speedsters from any of it's actual effects. Furthurmore, it protects them from things like the impact on their joints, heat from friction, flying off the planet when they exceed escape velocity, having their faces rubbed off by their bow-wave while their GI tracks are sucked out their rear by their backdraft, and so on.
When he punches someone at superspeed, he's not hitting with the momentum of a human body at high velocity. It's essentially a speedforce force-bolt coincident with his hand. When he runs, he's certainly not propelling himself by pushing against the ground.
😆 dude this is DC we are talking about after all you know, when it comes to things like these its best not to over think it.....when in doubt just chalk it up to magic and slooowly push away from the table, and make a secret pact never to mention it again...but all in all tho IMP is a cool trick to pull out of ye old anus, you must admit 😉

You've touched on another one of those things that make me go eer : "near infinite"... a near-meaningless term writers toss about like so much cheap salad.Comics have become much more sophisticated in the last few decades...and so have their readers. Many of us seem to like less mindless fantasy and more realism, not just with social or psychological issues but also with regard to principles of physics, actually bringing the genre closer to science fiction...which, initially, is how Schuster and Siegel regarded their creation.
Its a term that is thrown around marvel, alot more than D.C.
D.C. try harder at quantifying their characters power limits, by comparison to real life scenarios.
E.G. 'Superman could spin mountains on his finger tips' (Batman WW3 JLA arc)
instead of 'Superman has near limitless strength'.
The problem with the blase attitude surrounding terms such as 'near infinite' is that writers don't really understand the concept of infinity.
Infinity analytically means 'endless'. Anything that has an end is not endless. Therefore its an oxymoron to quantify something as 'near limitless' as its impossible to be nearly limitless. What ever quantity you associate, an infinite is always infinitely bigger. Its like saying that a dent in the ground is 'nearly a hole'. Its either a hole or not a hole.
You've read the science of super heroes haven't you ???????????
There's this great website with some scientist trying to explain all super powers with quantum field theory (I'll post the details later). He does however slate that book for its total lack of imagination. 🙂

Haven't read either the book or the website, but I have a feeling as to how the explanations work based on my own ideas I've been kicking around for many years.
Dumb ass revivals
Apocalypse : I HAVE RETURNED !!!!!
X-Men : *All look at cable*
Cable : Yup , i brought back the bastard who i hate with all my fiber and being , the guy who infected me with a virus which will slowly turn me into metal , the man whom (my destiny decree's) I shall kill.
Cyclops : You know Nathan , sometimes i wonder if sending you into the future ****ed you up in more way's then one
Cable *Giving Cyclops the the finger* Screw you pop.
