lightning and going fast are different things. supersonic punch and evacuating a train mid-air are things he could do cause he could go super fast. Lightning is just a weird bonus he got

He has to run super fast to generate the lightning.

Flash hasn't done any cool speed stuff this season, right? Last season there was the Supersonic Punch and evacuating a train mid-derailment, and that was great

He made the show better by getting vaporized.

If he could summon a flock of grackles to attack enemies but only by running really fast, "grackle swarm" still wouldn't be a cool speed thing he could.

Punch doesn't count. That's related to mass, not speed.

It's not actual lightning, he's throwing goes fast.

Oh wow. Mike Jittlov, I'd almost forgotten about him.. I'm amazed they haven't tried to rope him in as a cameo. His filmmaking got put on hold when he had to become a full-time caretaker for his mother, but he's still kicking around the Silverlake Area.

A small-caliber bullet fired at the proper speed does a lot more damage than a large-caliber bullet thrown by hand.

If this show is gonna have evil speedsters, they really need to do a scene where a evil speedster throws a bunch of bullets as fast as if they'd been fired by a gun

Hey. Batman had enough time to prepare for the eventuality of needing to pull on the entire Justice League at once, and that means he wins.

Maybe NOW Barry goes back in time and becomes the lightning bolt that "chose" him.

No, he becomes the time ghost in the Speed Force, since it was wearing a Flash suit.

They call it an Infinite Mass Punch, not a Run Real Fast Punch.




(I'm mocking the guy drawing arbitrary lines on what's a speed-based power. The Flash has 1 power: Superspeed. Anything he can do that you can't is because of speed.)

This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space.

Holy poo poo, this is hilarious. I'm just imagining Zolomon hyping himself up like "And next I'll teach him the lightning thing right before I go to fight him". What an rear end in a top hat.

Teddy Sears is on the newest Fatman on Batman. First of all, dude's tall, secondly he swears almost as much as Kevin Smith, and three he knew he was going to be Zoom from the outset.

I already know how much Wally loves speed because he talks about how much he loves his natural ability to speed every episode he's in.

I'm just so gobsmacked that they did the same plot again, only worse. Why? Why would they do that? I mean, you can accuse Arrow of a lot of writing sins, but even they haven't outright repeated themselves yet.

That interview got me really psyched for the last 3 episodes. It also sounds like Teddy knows some details about Season 3, which presumably means he is going to be coming back? I am back to thinking man in mask is Earth 3 Jay Garrick still played by Sears.
