What If A Speedster(The Flash) Ran Past You -NerdVarsity(+PICS) by CrazyScientist: 8:27pm On Jun 27, 2016
Speedsters, they exist in comic fictions and movies, the most popular of them being The Flash (DC Universe) and Quick Silver (Marvel). Comics and movies portray them as super speeding heroes, but what if they were real and were to run past you? Sorry to say but you’d get hurt, not the kind of hurt you can recover from… so lets go on another adventure, and see what would happen if one of them were to run past you…

We’d be looking at Quick Silver as our case study, the slower of the two heroes. Marvel Comics puts his speed at Mach 10 (2.1miles/second), which means he can run around the world in 3 and a Half Hours, if he were to hit you at that speed, it would have the same feeling as being hit by a large ship! Ouch! But we’re not looking at what would happen if he hit, but what would happen if a person running so fast, pushing so much air out of the way was to RUN PAST YOU…

Quicksilver would be so fast that he would only be in our field of view for 8 microseconds to 1millisecond, so we would only see a blue blur ‘flash’ by (get it…, “Flash By”,lol, okay bad joke…MOVING ON…), it takes our brain 13 milliseconds to register an image so by the time you’d have seen Quick Silver, he would already be 44 Metres away from you, so if you actually see him, all you’d see is a blue blur.

Also, moving at ten times the speed of sound, a shockwave will form in front of him, the air around him would be compressed 5.7times and would heat up to 400 degree celcius! 4times the boiling point of water! At that tempearature your blood would become a super critical fluid (having properties of both liquid and gas) and it would start to ooze out of every hole in your body (eyes, ears, skin pores…OUCH!), but this would only happen if you’re 4inches or less from a full speed quick silver.

The air around quicksilver would be travelling at about 10,156km/hr ,tornadoes travelling about 100km/hr can fling cars over 100m in the air and destroy buildings,not to talk of the air around quicksilver thats moving more than 20times that speed. Also, at that speed things like stones, pebbles, sand and coins would be thrown around with the speed of a bullet, so you don’t need to be close to him to witness the mass destruction that would occur.

So if Quick Silver was to run right past you, he’d cause incredible damage both to you and the surrounding environment, but the smarty pants at DC covered up for this impending damage by saying the speed force protects the surrounding from the immense speed of the flash. Thanks for reading, drop your comments and questions down below.

Lala for what?!
Dis one's got no snakes, man. Get some smartypant speed-freak snakes with booties in here and you'll hit FP fast than the Millennium Falcon.

Nice Post BTW
Marvel & DC; they fooled us, yet schooled us
Thrilled us with fantasies, yet birthed scientific curiosity in us!

@Silksmooth
Silver Surfer! Now, that's one Dude I wldnt mind swapping powers with any day; only it might henceforth be a humorless existence from that point onwards.

Most people wanna live absurdly long, have insane amounts of money power etc but have never really sat down to imagine what could be the burdens of such endowments!

Superman is not and can never be a rival to the flash in terms of speed. Barry(Flash) has outrun teleporters, travelled through time, and even once tuned all the radios on earth in less than a second, all by virtue of his speed. Superman doesn't even come close.
