    Flash is my favorite superhero I like everything about him but I just hate when writers make it look like he is just a very fast guy but weak in strength as a normal man.What if the speed force enhances his physical abilities like having evolve to super speed and super human strength as the speed force fuels his body's why can't it fuel his strength also and It would just be cool to have someone as fast as the flash have punches and kicks powerful enough to compare to Superman.Even if it will be temporary It would make a very interesting arch between him and the other leaguers especially superman as he wont be the strongest one anymore.One can only Imagine.

    He even saved superman.Means faster than him
    He even saved superman.Means faster than him

    What do you guys think?

    @flashdamn: It sounds like you want a guy with super speed and super strength. There's already a character like that: Superman. They already have similar noble personalities and geeky alter egos. Ignoring powers, Barry Allen is just a combination of Flash and Superman... Flash just having his speed differentiates him from Superman and forces the character to use his powers more creatively. There's a mental side to his fighting style.

    @flashdamn:

    actually superman is faster than flash in the new 52 at the moment. but flash beat supergirl in supergirl 16 IIRC.

    No, he was barely able to catch a hold of Flash when Flash was playing with him.

    way back in Justice League 2 (five-ish years ago). Superman is much faster now. he flew from pluto to earth instantly, read everybook on medical stuff to save lois (five-ish years ago), and can get ready for work in 6 seconds.

    Since he moves fast wouldn't his punches be super strong since they would be moving extremely fast as well? He would also create sonic booms with each punch which would be pretty cool.

    Superman does not have speed feats on this level though:

    In addition, he's displayed Femtosecond reaction time:

    Technically, with Flash at this level of power, only another Speed Force manipulator or magic user should be able to beat him. That or PIS or WIS. He's practically a god now...

    You can't just point out how one guy has grown and gotten stronger, but not the other...while superman has gotten faster, guess what, flash has too.

    I think what you are saying is happening, just not explained in the books.

    Taking on kryptonian's is one thing, Hitting them and them actually feeling it is another, taking a full force knee to the face from one is a whole other level. He is so in tune with his body and vibration frequencies he has mimicked super strength and invulnerability. In that first scan what does he do? Sends superman flying with a simple push the fact he actually was able to catch his punch spin him and send him flying is pretty darn amazing lol. Don't even get me started with Bart hurting superboy prime without breaking his hands.
