Talk:The Flash VS ???/@comment-2255534-20160428222812/@comment-2255534-20160428232139

Oy, I hate it when people use the "plot-induced stupidity" argument, if you can even call it that.

The thing about Flash, and Quicksilver while at it, is that they're both very inconsistently written to the point that neither one of has a definite max speed. Sometimes, it's straight up contradicting. I found a comic page that said QS was punching someone at mach 5, but the same page gives you the numbers that prove that it's wrong.

Even the race between Flash and Superman comes off as weird for both characters. In the DCAU series, it took Flash and Supes some time to do one lap around the world, but on another occassion, Flash was ale to circle the world in a few seconds.

If you ask me, the REAL plot-induced stupidities is when someone's powers are overplayed like that.
