We all know The Flash is fast. He's super speedy! But, you know what's even speedier? The DC universe's latest reveal that the energy making The Flash go zoom – that's right, the Speed Force – is basically made of time itself. Buckle up because we're diving into this time-bending phenomenon. The Flash, known as Barry Allen and Wally West (who basically owns those super-speedy jeans) and the whole Flash family are about to experience the ultimate speed boost!
In this wild story from The Flash #11, we see Flash and his fellow speedsters getting a serious wake-up call. Things are all messed up in their world, their powers are on the fritz, and the big bads of the story, those space beings known as the Arc Angels, are up to no good. Turns out, The Flash family has been used as tools for some seriously bad stuff – basically a tool for the Arc Angels to mess up the whole timeline. Imagine, messing with time? That's not a good thing for anyone in the universe.
The Flash's super speed has been his thing for ages. We get it! We've seen this crazy, power-charged dude zipping around, but lately, other super-speedy powers have popped up - like the Still Force and the Sage Force! And now we know they are all tied to time. And The Flash? He is basically a human portal into all those forces of time, running on the energy that powers all of them, and allowing the time travelers, whether by accident or by design, to mess with the timeline, all by traveling fast. We’re in a world where time is not what we once thought, which might make the whole “time travel” phenomenon in Comics even cooler, even weirder!
That’s a pretty huge revelation that turns all those Flash adventures, especially those moments when they get a little too close to Time Travel and breaking the laws of physics, on their head! Time isn't just the enemy – the Flash's very power comes from those threads.
Imagine being a super speedster like Wally West. And finally, someone's telling you why you can go so fast, and also, explaining the very energy powering those forces – the source of the super-speed! For Flash, it’s almost as if someone said, “you’ve got the super speed gene!" He has the genes! So with this new insight, The Flash’s got the potential to actually master all those forces of time, even making his speed crazier! Yeah, he’s not just zipping fast; it’s an actual force he has the potential to master and control.
Who knows what the DC writers have in store for the Flash. It seems we'll get a better look at the Speed Force as The Flash’s origin, and his connection to those time forces, is explained with more depth. This isn't just some weird, inexplicable super power, this is an understanding that can shape the Flash's destiny! And just like that, the whole concept of super speed becomes less of an accident and more about a journey of mastering time.
Imagine if every time Flash sped through the time stream, it was a huge change! Not just a fast dash; a ripple effect on the time stream itself. The fact that he could break reality, by moving at incredible speeds? This might become even more complicated since time is not just something that exists separately; it’s something that’s very much a part of him and his family. The new understanding that time is the backbone of The Flash’s abilities will surely lead to some incredible twists and adventures. I'm betting we’ll see Flash trying out new tricks, learning to control time, maybe even becoming a true time god or a cosmic time bender! All the possibilities!
Hold on tight, folks! Because if The Flash’s Speed Force is about being the fastest and having an intimate relationship with time, the Still Force is about staying put! The Still Force has a big impact on reality, slowing things down and keeping things balanced. There are other crazy time-bending forces that haven't even been mentioned yet, making The Flash's universe very, very complex. And in The Flash #11, we finally get to see the connection between the Speed Force and Still Force – they are connected like twins in a super-speedy, cosmic dance of the cosmos.
You might be asking, "How does that change anything?” Think of it this way. It's not just the speed of time; it’s also the speed of space, making it much more powerful and chaotic, or maybe incredibly peaceful too, when these forces connect, since there's also a side of them that makes sure time doesn’t end up totally out of control. It is the whole story of The Flash – pushing and pulling at those cosmic forces that might otherwise send us to the very end of the universe!
