Meanwhile I'm still hung up on the idea that there's more than one Flash. I am not a comics person at all, I am a physics person.
Lol there are 10 flash or flash adjacent characters that I can think of off the top of my head.
And every time one runs into a wall at fatal speeds, two slower ones appear.
Comics are weird. Asking questions like, could the Flash run so fast he exits the universe can almost always be answered with "if the plot calls for it."
He has the power of fast. He goes exactly as fast as he needs to. It's magic, not science. They make it sound like science but it's magic.
Kinda like how Tony Stark invents time travel in an afternoon, or Peter Parker affords an apartment in NYC of even only barely.
Which is a big part of why I never got into comics. I didn't read them as a kid, and as an adult it seems like I'd have to sift through too much reality- (or at least immersion-) breaking nonsense.
