The real badass thing here isn't the acomplishment for the Saint, it's putting into perspective that the normal human cast has to deal with him.

If that is what I have done then I apologise. The tedious "why aren't more people psyched about bad people being tortured to death" gimmick (et al.) evidently led me to draw the wrong conclusions.

Certainly not, but it can explain things like not understanding why people are disturbed by one's stated enthusiasm for violent retribution. E:VVV Depending on the disorder, and its severity, it could be very difficult or even impossible to ever understand. However, it would be unfair to make such assumptions about the poster in question. haitfais fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Aug 9, 2015 |

I know a lot of people see Supes as being smug here, but he's totally sincere. He's like '66 Batman, all the time. Him and Nightwing need to be full time partners.

A 70 mile round-trip, about half a million times, in something less than a microsecond. By a quick calculation, that's something on the order of 94 million c, and probably higher considering just how quick that actually was and how many trips he actually had to take. (Also, he definitely had to move faster than the speed of light, otherwise he'd still lose a lot of people to radiation)

So wait, he was close enough to react to a nuke going off, but not enough to prevent the bomb at all?

Light is not that fast. It would travel all of 300 metres in a microsecond. He was going an absurdly large multiple of lightspeed. Depending on how low "low yield" is, those people might get away with only being blind if they're looking at the explosion.

It seems to me like if you're the guy making the flash comic, and you make a plot point of exactly how fast the flash accomplishes something and how he's moving just barely under the speed of light, that maybe you should take the time to figure out how long it would take light to make that trip?

Given how easy it is to fly across the universe in comic books, I'm just going to assume they raised the speed of light at some point.

If he going faster than light, how he not beat atomic flash of light??? Answer: he felt bad for the bomb so he took along some of the light particles with him for dramatic effect
