Well, he seems to have at least a degree of super strength and flight as well. And he can fire lightning from the his weapon.
Yeah but, when your opposition has no powers... Would be more exciting for the police force to take him on. Or even Argus.
In terms of action sequences that is.

I had the same thought process when Reverse Flash said he fought Superman in the future.Just merge the 2 Universes already.
Especially when they keep mentioning "The League".

I like Nora just fine, personally, even with her Bart-esque future catchphrases.
The new suit really doesn't flatter Gustin, though. If he bulked up even a bit, it would make his head look less ridiculously big.

Well, I was actually kind of agreeing, in the sense that it becomes even more one-sided when he still has powers on top of depowering everyone else. You have a guy who can easily crush metal and fly beating up a bunch of nerds and an ex-cop.

He has to maintain appearances in public, as he was a shitty athlete before getting his powers, based on the comments made by others.
There's maintaining appearances and then there is doing a really bad bumbling Clark Kent impression lol.
I don't think people would have been suspicious if he managed to catch a fly ball.
Well, apparently pre-Flash Barry couldn't even run properly, and that's his friggin' superpower now. So, I guess he was a really bad athlete. But the dialogue indicated that it was just for show. They even throw in the little "his reflexes work when it matters" line, or something along those words. And we've literally seen him catch actual bullets on numerous occasions by now, so we know he can easily catch a ball.
I'm confused...I finished the episode with the meta-phone(lol) and at the part where XS tries to kill Flash there is one point where he is outrunning her and then time seems to stop and then suddenly he begins running backwards.
Afterwards nobody says anything about it lol. Can XS somehow rewind time?
She seems to be able to, though not consciously. She actually mentions the ability in an earlier episode (she mentions about how she can't even phase at that point yet but sometimes things wind back when she runs), but that's the first time it's been portrayed onscreen. Or maybe it isn't. That whole scene with the satellite at the end of last season takes on a different context if you take her time rewind power into consideration.
Well, it was becoming a bit silly IMO. I mean there have been quite a few instances in the past where Cisco vibing something could have saved a ton of episode time... But then they don't do it. So, guess now the writers have a valid excuse to only have him use his powers when the plot really demands it.
I love how Barry has, in the past,
Spoiler:
been hit with ALL kinds of lightning, from Livewire, to Weather Wizard, Blackout, Savitar, Zoom and even his own, and basically shrugged it off every time. But when the plot demands it, a single bolt kills him lol. And how they can outrun the lightning in some scenes but not in others.

Lol... What about how he can literally take the Villains Father from one prison to another before the Villain of the week can react, but of course cant then just blitz the villain of the week... because reasons.
