That means if you take all the time there's been since Jesus was tortured to death to right now and add in the thousand years before Jesus where people worshipped half-eaten caveman babies, that's how long a thirty second Pepsi girl commercial lasts for the Flash. And I don't care what theological horror stories you've heard from your comparative religion course, three millenia of Pepsi girl kicks the shit out of any existing religion's concept of hell.
I'd hate to be just about any comic character whose powers/history gave them a grotesque appearance.
Characters like Beak and the like...ugh. I actually got nauseous reading a comic he was in one time. As shallow as some may feel it is, I do not enjoy looking at ugly things; I especially dislike ugly things with a humanoid appearance. I most certainly wouldn't want to BE one.
In short, it would suck to be ugly...
Originally posted by dmillsHis speed extends to his brain. When he moves fast, his brain is also moving fast enough to see things clearly. In your case, you aren't the one in motion, the bus is. Think about this way... when you run as fast as you can possibly run, you are still able to see your surroundings clearly; it works the same for Flash, just on a much higher level.
Not trying to be facetious, but can you please explain this with logic? Right now I'm sitting on a bus going to Los Angeles from Arizona traveling 70 mph. As I look out of the window, the ground and plants along the 10 fwy are nearly just a blur because my brain can't process the images that my eye's are sending to it fast enough for me to see them clearly.The Flash moves a heck of a lot faster then 70mph. How can he chose to not see a blur when running at super sonic+ speeds?
If this wasn't the case, his power would be completely useless 'cause he would trip over every rock in his path. If Flash was a genius he'd be almost unstoppable due to his ability to think as fast as he can run.

it would suck to be pretty much anyone who's mutation manifested as a physical abnormality.It would also suck to be Wolverine... think about how hard it must be for him to clear airport security.
In Ultimate X-men #2 Wolverine walks through an airport metal detector with ease and without revealing how he did it..........
..........unfortunately he is immediately shot afterwards by Weapon X.

It would suck to be the Flash. Sure he can run really fast, but he perceives the world at the same speed. That sucks. Relative to his own perception if the Flash ran around the world, in his mind it would take the same amount of time as it would for me to do it. Thats weeks of his life just running and he does crap like that all the time... thats dedication. I'm surprised he hasn't gone completely insane.Who else do you think it would suck to be?
The Flash can manipulate his perception of time. He can pause, or fast forward the world around him. His speed increases in proportion to how slow he wants to view the world.
the reason ppl are saying it suck to be wolverine is b/c he is in a constant state of pain due to the adamantium.. anyone of us would be in a hospital hooked up to a morphine drip or crying in agony... addicted to drugs trying to numb the pain,.. our life span would be severely limited due to the constant pain in our bodies

That has been mentioned, but I dont take it all that seriously it's usually completelly ignored and forgotten. People can handle pain too. Even if one were to resort to drugs, HF can handle the drugs side effects and likely prevent addiction too.
and it would suck to be Wolverine because, who in the hell want's to live for 300 years? That has to be an horrible existence; have you ever known a happy vampire? No, 'cause they're friggin' miserable. They don't eat people 'cause they need to, they do it 'cause they're bored to death, but without the death.
Also, as previously mentioned... the airport thing. Unless you wanna do ll your traveling by boat.
