In the eternal speed debate, DC explains why The Flash will always prevail.
In the vast universe of DC Comics, two figures have stood out at an alarming rate: Superman and the Flash. But have you ever wondered why the Flash always has the upper hand in this clash of the titans? The answer revealed in Justice League over 2.0 is just as fascinating as the characters.
The secret of speed
At first glance, Superman’s ability to traverse space at incredible speeds seems invincible. However, the power of the yellow solar radiation has a limit. In contrast, the Flash, fueled by his secret and omnipresent Speedford, possesses strength and speed beyond physical limits.
In Justice League Beyond 2.0, written by Christo Gage, Iban Colo, Randy Mayor and Saida Temofonte, we are presented with a future where Superman’s powers are advanced due to the changing sun. This instability highlights a key difference between the two heroes: while Superman struggles with his changing abilities, the Flash maintains an unbreakable bond with the Speedforce.
Speedforce and the effect of solar radiation
Over the years, DC Comics has carefully built the profiles of Superman and The Flash, giving them unique characteristics. Superman, the son of Krypton, represents hope and strength, a hero whose powers transcend speed. On the other hand, the Flash, the Guardian of Speed, exhibits unparalleled agility and speed. This fundamental difference in their origins and abilities highlights the differences in the DC superhero universe.
When you look at other characters like Batman, Wonder Woman or Aquaman in the DC Universe, it can be seen that each hero has abilities that reflect their identity and legacy. But when it comes to speed, The Flash stands out as an unparalleled icon, a testament to the creativity and depth of the DC Comics universe. The ratio in Superman and Flash’s powers not only enriches their individual stories, but also adds complexity to their relationship and the overall narrative of the superhero universe.
Friendly competition
Despite their differences, Superman and the Flash share a bond of respect and empathy. Both of them competed in amazing races showing their superhuman abilities. Although Superman can match some of the Flash’s feats, the reality is that due to the nature of their powers, there will always be an insurmountable gap between them.
Velocity is more than a source of energy; It is the fundamental force of the DC Universe. Not only does the Flash run at unimaginable speeds, it also allows him to use abilities that defy the laws of physics, such as time travel and moving through solids.
Superman’s uncertain future
While the Flash seems to have an unlimited supply of speed, Superman faces an uncertain future. The energy associated with solar radiation can be depleted if it passes, leaving it vulnerable to attack. This cap cements its place in DC’s pantheon of superheroes.
Justice League Beyond 2.0 is not only an exciting adventure in the DC canon, but also a definitive explanation of why The Flash has always been the fastest. While Superman may be a symbol of strength and hope, the Flash represents literally unstoppable speed.
This comic not only provides a deeper look at the characters of DC, but also establishes an immutable truth in the universe: in the field of speed, the Flash will always be the undisputed king, Superman, no matter how fast, will always have his limits.
