I pose to everyone on this forum that oh-so personal query that pop-culture obsessed geeks have pondered since the birth of superhero comics seventy-five years ago: If you could have any superpower, what superpower would you have?
My answer? I would want The Flash's super-speed, as the abilities it affords are far broader and more versatile than merely being able to span vast distances (including over water) at a lightning fast pace!
The Flash's super-speed also affords: quickly building and disabling things, creating powerful gusts and funnels, reading entire books in seconds, running so quickly that he can traverse the space-time continuum's barriers and travel to another time, and presumably even thinking far more quickly than those without super-speed powers so that he has more time to carefully weigh his words and actions during social interactions!
In addition to all of that, The Flash can moreover control the speed at which his very molecules vibrate, permitting him to also: become invisible, phase out and pass through solid objects and have solid objects pass through him, vibrate objects at their resonant frequencies to destroy them, and adjust his own resonant molecular frequency so that he can travel to such places as Gorilla City and the numerous alternative universes within DC's multiverse!
The broad array of abilities afforded by The Flash's make it far more appealing than more traditional answer like flight or invisibility, in my own personal opinion!
