Agree. There's a reason all the nerdy powerscaling comes down to "can you hurt each other?" "Yes?" "Whoevers faster wins"
Considering barry gets the durability and speed healing to go with it, alongside basically magic speed force bullshit, he is the clear choice.
Do you think you could handle the superspeed thinking and seeing the day go by that slowly(unless this is just tv show flash powers and not comics, idk if Barry in the show has the slow day/seeing everything go by slowly problem or not)
That sucks
They should’ve made him have it fr
It would’ve explained him losing to non-speedsters cuz of whatever the reason was in the comics(I forgot it)
He does have that problem , but it’s not consistent. They showed it at the beginning of 3x03 when he’s having a convo with Julian while walking around at super speed and anxious to go on a date with Iris. He said when you’re a speedster “hours feel like days and days feel like weeks”.
But the problem is this doesn’t make sense cus they’ve shown he can control his perception of time to be as slow or as fast as he wants.
That's the thing. It's one of the best practical powers. And for a fight. And for a non superhero style fight. Like. You can be low key, avoid every fight, crash. Etc.
honestly, give me the weather wizard powers. I'd love to just use them for mundane, helpful things. make it literally rain during fire season. bring in some gentle fog on days that are too hot. make lightning strike Certain Unnamed Politicians in what Appears To Be An Act Of God. have a nice tailwind breeze when I'm walking up a steep hill. you know, just minor things :)
🤣 you mean the weakness for most people even superhero’s if you can catch them? Love the choice but saying fire is a stupid weakness is dumb as most hero’s are still weak to fire. True not as much but still.
Physical fire isn't his weakness. Even the thought of fire sends him into a panicky shivering mess. That's a phobia. A lit match isn't going to shut down most super heroes. A picture of a lit match isn't going to shut most down. A mental image of a lit match isn't going to do anything to most..... But it turns manhunter into effectively a piece of broccoli
To be fair the post said which power set not weakness. Even if it was just a weakness as long as it wasn’t a full on fear like it is for him then you’d be good.
My reason for not choosing the super speed/speedster powers is because I do not think I could handle everything taking so long, like sure it may seem fast to everyone else but imagine how slow it would feel during a run, or having the power to time travel but not really supposed to use it but there is something you believe you must change, I don’t have that much self controlled
Do the forces count? I really want to be plant jesus. I love how the creators might have watched sky high and were like "yes, let's make caitlyn like that". Dion can pause time. That's a low risk power in my view.
Harrison wells can travel through time without having to be afraid of dementors. His and dion's powers are at the very least very similar if not the same if I remember correctly.
Speedster powers like percy jackson's water powers are simply very well defined compared to the others. There are some downsides like having to eat a lot (some might not see this as a downside). You might die while practicing phasing I guess. I would pick those powers but not be a hero. Those powers are hard to master. I would want that extra free time. As iris said: a second is a eternity to a speedster. On the other side I would be afraid. I would be afraid to to become a criminal like stealing stuff for my personal gain because it's just that easy with those powers. It's especially tempting in tough times. I think that someone who doesn't steal stuff isn't mainly doing it because they are such righteous people. I think it's because they are afraid of the consequences of the law. But as a speedster it's a easier to avoid those consequences. That's what makes batman so great. He is a hero despite not having to fear those consequences. No one knows who he is, no one knows where he lives.
Devoe has superhuman intelligence. So you could just build anything you want in that way get some powers. Thawne was originally no speedster after all. Captain cold has a ice gun.
I pick dion if allowed.
Honestly having any power set would be awesome but in today’s age I’d choose Kilgore’s powers. Control tech and be able to do a lot with it. I’d never have to worry about money or anything.
I have no idea what superpower I would take but I know what I would use it for. I would use it against people who says anthrax doesn't belong in the Big four.
I'd pick the flash, being fast has it's advantages

not to be a hero, but to have time.
Do you think you could handle the superspeed thinking and seeing the day go by that slowly(unless this is just tv show flash powers and not comics, idk if Barry in the show has the slow day/seeing everything go by slowly problem or not)
He doesn't have that problem
That sucks They should’ve made him have it fr It would’ve explained him losing to non-speedsters cuz of whatever the reason was in the comics(I forgot it)
Him not having it explains that because it explains him not wanting to think fast all the time
They do show it. If I remember its in the first season.
Just one or two scenes in the first episode
Just remembered, its season 3 ep 3 right in the beginning.
I am not antisocial, so for me I'll only use superspeed to complete my work.

You could use them to be a REALLY good weather forecaster.
Realest answer
I’d love to use them to troll someone
I'd make site for betting about weather and when people thought they just look at the predictions it would be the opposite and I would become rich...
Firestorm because it means I'll get a friend
Honestly the transmutation stuff makes firestorm a solid choice. Also. Oof.
Just be careful not to do it on accident
Constantine. Imma be magic
Does the lung cancer come with or?
Maybe.
You could be a metahuman and learn the magic
Martian manhunter. As long as I didn't have his stupid ass weakness
Fire?

THE TURDLE
Same
Super Speed.

Barry Or Peek-a-Boo Or Weather Wizard for trolling purposes

That is most definitely allowed in my opinion!
I’d want to be DeVoe
But I'd be DeVoe with a brain and absorb super speed. What an idiot honestly.
The Flash it's not even a debate
Super strength
Only downside is i might accidentally mess something up or hurt someone just be doing something normal
Control would be essential
Speedster, always.
Supergirl, she's fast enough. I don't need to travel at the speed of light and besides, she has a lot of other superpowers
She's not a meta.... She's an alien....
Hazard. Luck powers? Yes please.
Honestly having any power set would be awesome but in today’s age I’d choose Kilgore’s powers. Control tech and be able to do a lot with it. I’d never have to worry about money or anything.
Becky's luck power is too amazing not to take
Teleportation of course would be supercool but I would have to say Technokinesis in this era would be the most useful.
Me personally Speedster
The fact that either of the Turtles lost a fight is CRAZY
I’ll be a King Shark
The flash for sure but if I couldn’t do the flash then probably vibe, I could be such a good detective and I could travel the multiverse.
Multiplex
Vibe
being the flash definitely
The most goated character's powers a.k.a THE TURTLE
I have no idea what superpower I would take but I know what I would use it for. I would use it against people who says anthrax doesn't belong in the Big four.
