He is a prep-man, but even without it, his powers can come directly from Lucifer himself (the real lucifer never needed JC. Only a guy who said he was lucifer). He was so powerful that the writers had no trouble trying to convince people he was the son of god.
With prep, J.C can pretty much bring about the end of the universe. Without prep, the best you can do if your Superman is hope you can hit him and fly away to another galaxy. Even then, he'd find him.
A cool fact about John is that when he was 8, he banished all illogical and naive thinking from his mind with a spell. He's now unable to think with pure emotion, he can only think in logic, which is why he's such a dick and impossible to scare.
Damn...this guy is no joke. 😱

If you actually do the math you'd find that it would take something moving at many times the speed of light (100's of times the speed of light if I remember correctly) to accomplish that task....
Theres horrible writing for ya...
IF you do the calculations, it means that the Flash would have had to be going at like....ten thousand times the speed of light or whatever.
The thing is, we need to take the writers intention into account. Do you honestly think the writer decided to whip out a pad and piece of paper and calculate how fast the flash might have been going? Hell no.
The Writer specifically TOLD us how fast the Flash was going - sub luminal.
That's what matters.

Thats where the bad writing part comes into play..... Its a very impressive feat none the less.

The writer, obviously, was a bit dimwitted. Or just picked some big numbers, some small numbers, and wrote it.
But, he DOES tell us, TWICE, that the Flash was operating at subluminal speeds.
Once when he says a 'hairs breadth' of lightspeed, and again when he talks about the Flash having detrimental after effects from travelling at 'near light' speeds.
Originally posted by SoljerYeah I know what he tells us, and honestly the comic writers probably never thought their work would be picked apart so much that they would have to calculate this equation. Its a great feat, but a you'd think little common sense should have told the writer that this feat required speeds>light speed...

But who cares?
Its probably Flash's greatest feat to date....

All I'm still unsure of, is whether you support the feat for the Flash running at near-light speeds, or running at thousands of times the speed of light, 😬.
Your opinion never really came to the surface whilst you spoke.
Originally posted by SoljerNaturally he would have had to have ran at 100's if not 1000's of times the speed of light to accomplish that feat.... A little common sense would tell anyone that...

Which is the reason why it kills me that a comic book writer wouldn't have thought about what he was writing before he wrote it....
But like I said, Who cares?
Its an awesome feat
Assuming that he took 2 people a time.
That means he ran 266 000 times 64 miles.
That is 17 024 000 miles he ran.
So he ran 27 391 616 kilometres in 0.00001 microseconds.
That is 27 391 616 kilometres in 0.00000000001 seconds.
That is 2739161600000000000 kilometres per second
That is about 9130538666666.6 times the speed of light.
Just to point out how absolute bullshit that is.

His intention is for Flash to be traveling at sub-light speed.
If you want to bring math into this... how does Superman shoot lasers out of his eyes, and how does this stuff melt things? How do you create a formula to give someone the ability to throw cars? How do you make a machine to go into a different universe, when you are only in university, or even, how is this accomplished? How does a human, with human studies, recreate a big bang... and so on.
The writer stated his intention twice, and you can take all the math you want, and it won't change his speed. The only reason this math has been brought to this boards, is because of Flash fanboys smoking his pole, and then saying, hey, we have no common sense, so why don't we try and change a feat stated on-panel?
Flashes speed won't change, no matter how many times you call bullshit writing. And even if you could change it, it was pis, so... ya.
If we used math in every feat of Flashes, then Great Dane would be blowing his load twice as much to this character.
Not his greatest feat.

Comics aren't supposed to have people doing math, and saying, "hey, that writer is a douchebag, doesn't he know..."His intention is for Flash to be traveling at sub-light speed.

Its a comic book, who cares if whats written makes sense? The majority of comics don't make sense to real-world physics anyways, so shouldn't be a big deal at all....
And I think its definatley one of flash's greatest speed feats to date...

I don't think it's anywhere near the Flash's greatest speed feat, considering that he was travelling at sub-luminal speeds, 😬.
