Jay Garrick lives in Keystone City, which is in Kansas, near the Missouri border.

In addition, Flash's suit (even if it leaves parts of his body exposed) prevents him from feeling the heat from the friction.

These comments definitely improve the joke.

If Boomerang man threw a woman off the empire state building, wouldn't she just come right back to him?

It was a failed attempt at romance.

Flash question

Post by aitan »

if Flash superheated the air, he himself should have superheat as well.
if he superheated, he should have inflicted 3rd degree burns on the blond in the mini skirt.

so how come she smiles and laughs in the final box?

She's a masochist. Duh.
Being kinky is when you tickle your girlfriend's anus with a feather, being perverted is when you bypass that hassle and just start humping chickens.

The Flash and orbital speed

Post by HRiderHaggard »

So here's the thing: Low Earth orbit speed is 24,000 miles in 90 minutes, or 16,000 miles per hour. At that speed it takes more than 11 minutes to cross the ~3,000 miles of the continental USA.

But if the Flash runs faster than that, he launches himself into orbit and takes ~90 minutes to return to his launch point.

So just how is he supposed to rescue the falling damsel?

I think he needs to use aerodynamics to keep himself on the ground while traveling at Mach Schnell.

Comic book writers don't use consistent scientific principles. They use the Speed Force.

If anything, the speed force is an acknowledgement of our known universal laws. They want to write feats that are impossible on a fundamental level, so instead of ignoring the rules, they came up with a way for their character's power to temporarily bend those rules.

The Flash

Post by Ian »

I send today's comic to my brother and this is what he had to say:
MMMM, WOW! the makers of that comic are noobs. the speedforce creates an aura around the user that eliminates air friction. thus he would not have been super-heated.

There is no such thing as Aura in the field of Thermodynamics.
Also speedforce is equally full of shit.

There is not such thing as "speed force" either I don't think. He is referring to the comic book explanation, not actual physics.
