What I never understood about the Flash
How does the flash not shatter his arm when he punches someone at the speed of light? He would kill whoever he punched because of momentum and such, but he's not super strong or anything. He's just ridiculously fast. So how has he not crippled himself for life?
I haven't read any Flash comics so please explain this to me. I'm sure it has been explained somewhere, but I just don't know.

It's called science fiction. It's a magical thing.

1 ReplyThe Speedforce protects him to a certain degree IIRC, as any living thing moving anywhere near the speed of light would probably be liquified.

I don't even know how anything can even hit the flash.

Edited by HurtfulTurkey: 7/30/2013 4:06:02 PM"Speed force" i.e., Comic book magic. They can't explain it, so they just make something up to negate it, like "inertial dampeners" in sci fi.

He's so fast that his arm moves away from the punch before it connects, but it still connects because quantum mechanics.

Some crappy plot device called "The Speed Force". Which is second only to Batman's "Prep-Time Force" - Der
