Question: Can some one explain the physics of the superhero "the flash" to me!?
because if his speed is a direct result of his hightened metabolism, then he should have to constantly consume food in order sustain his metabolic functions and avoid starving to death!. also if the flash hits someone while he's running faster than the speed of sound!.!.!.then why does that person not explode, or die, or atleast get something ruptured or broken!. the last thing is that how come the boots that come with his costume never wear out!. running at faster than the speed of sound for 30 minutes should completely deplete the sole of the boot due to the emense friction caused by his running!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

He does eat alot and is often a joke in the books!. As to how much is needed is never been talked about, at least not in what I've read!. His powers come from Speed Force, which itself is somewhat of a mystery!. As far as the next question, it can very easily be said that while he can move at lightning speeds he could slow down for a few mere microseconds to punch an average joe schmoe crook to prevent major injury!. His suit is specially designed and hence could be altered in a fashion to prevent his soles from depleting, although whose not to say that in his down time he has to replace shoe pads!. No one would want to read a comic of non crime fighting average day to day chores, tasks, etc of cleaning, cooking, shopping for food, clothes, showering, watching TV, etc!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
His powers don't make sense in a physics sense, particularly the whole "vibrating his way through a wall on the atmoic level"!. Plus, though they never say he has super strength, he'd have to in order to overcome drag and not have a random bug he runs into not tear through him like a bullet!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
