Why would it be ****king retarded?

I take you don't like The Flash? That's why you keep coming here and trying to disprove the feat.

Don't like it? Well, tough shit...

Do bother to read the rest of comments on the blog please:

"It’s a great show of what Flash can do, and also of how to keep your mind open when you’re reading superhero comics. People are going to do impossible things. Spider-Man would rip whole chunks out of buildings, Superman would suck all the oxygen out of your lungs when he zooms by, and Batman would get shot in the face and die. Comic physics let them get away with these things. "

Comics are just fantasy. But theres a point where BS needs to be called.

There is still no EXCUSE to call it retarded! that was just a stupid fanboy rant.

If Flash was flying or shooting Energy laster out of his eyes THEN that would out of a character's powers. He's obviously not doing that! He's performing a great skill within his powers. His powers happen to be on speed. So, no! It's not BS and is still valid for the character.

I aint calling this BS, but when ppl say Hulk is a skyfather and can take on the Big G than its BS.

does any CL100 character have an established limit?

I'm with you here...that would be BS.

i love the flash...but i think the writers intent was to show wally saving people and going near light speed while doing it.....i dont think the numbers game is valid here...but its only my opinon 😬

you know what the real problem is if you accept that feat for Flash?

basically it makes Flash an unbeatable, god. Every opponent, even Superman or Silver Surfer moving at multiples light speed or close to it, would be complete statues to Flash were he capable of such speed. For him to lose would require readers to accept that Flash is a complete braindead moron.

basically, it's if Superman had a feat where he clapped his hands and the universe collapsed onto itself. If you were to accept such a feat, then if Superman were to lose to anyone short of Spectre, it would strike disbelief.

The low class hundreds have a limit at 100 ton.

I think the whole bio strength classification system sucks.

Best analysis made by a fan (IMO)


Apparently this kid didn't go to school, as he's unaware of how to treat time, distance and relativistic velocity.

Time is bent when you approach the speed of light.

"He ran a total of 17,500,000 miles in one hundred-thousandth of a microsecond."

Lets use this statement and apply it to a logical formula.

Given:
d = 17,500,000 miles = (1,609,344 * 17,500,000) meters
t = 0,000,000,01 seconds

Find:
v

Solution:
c = 299792458 m/s

∆v = ∆d / ∆t = 1,609,344 * 17,500,000 / 0,000,000,01 = 2,816352 * 10^21 m/s

∆v = v / sqrt(1 - (v/c)^2) => v = sqrt [(∆v^2 * c^2) / (c^2 + ∆v^2)] =>

v = sqrt [ (2,816352 * 10^21)^2 * (299792458)^2 / (299792458^2 + (2,816352 * 10^21)) ] = 299792457,99999999999999... < c

According to Einstein Flash would be slower than light.

i already explained it in another thread, it's a bell curve scale.

80-90% of characters have strength limits under the one hundred ton limit since the test is a dead lift press over one's head.

to set clear tiers they cap it at "100 tons", those in the upper echelon of strength exceed 100 tons mostly due to them being able to lift weights out of the realms of testing (i.e superman and hulk being able to move mountains).

also the "100 ton class" means that an individual can routinely lift 100 tons under earth gravity over their heads without the possibility of tiring,
further separating god like strength from just being super strong.

Solution:
c = 299792458 m/s

âˆâ€_v = âˆâ€_d / âˆâ€_t = 1,609,344 * 17,500,000 / 0,000,000,01 = 2,816352 * 10^21 m/s

&#8710;v = v / sqrt(1 - (v/c)^2) => v = sqrt [(&#8710;v^2 * c^2) / (c^2 + &#8710;v^2)] =>

v = sqrt [ (2,816352 * 10^21)^2 * (299792458)^2 / (299792458^2 + (2,816352 * 10^21)) ] = 299792457,99999999999999... < c

heh. time dilation ftw.

∆ or âˆâ€_ stands for [delta]

how do you assume that holds true in comics?

Wurd. Special Theory of Relativity. Partner to the General Theory of Relativity.

For Mindship:

You wrote, "1. Assuming Flash carried two people at once, he made 250,000 70-mile roundtrips. That's 17,500,000 miles (so far so good). Now the blogger makes his first mistake: 17,500,000 miles x 100,000 x 3600 = 6,300,000,000,000,000"

Why the 'x 3600'? I haven't attempted to do the math. Looks like Astner already did so.

Flash uses Infinite Mass Punch. That uses the same principles as time dialation. As one approaches c, mass becomes close to infinite. Time slows down, as well, relative to an observer.

Because Flash uses the phenomena of relativity where mass increases as velocity does. He calls it the infinity mass punch.

EDIT: Enyalus beat me to it.

Half of the things Surfer does is bull i rarely complain about but the really impressive things Flash does gets bull shit stamps epic bias but thats cool.

Thats life.
