I’m fucking dying; we’ve got this three year old over, and he finds our Green Lantern mask, so he comes up to me wearing it and asks what Green Lantern’s powers are. So I tell him Green Lantern has a ring that can ‘make anything he imagines’ (I mean he’s three, I’m not going to Get Into It) and he runs off.
And like 40 seconds later, we hear, “Ring, make me into the Flash!”
HE LEARNED HOW TO BUILD AN APARTMENT BUILDING. HE DID RESEARCH. IT TAKES SEVERAL YEARS TO LEARN ALL THE ENGINEERING AND LEGAL CONSTRAINTS OF BUILDING A BUILDING AND HE JUST DID IT.
This is one of my favorite flash comics. It really highlights how the flash doesn’t just run really fast, but can do absolutely astounding things. I remember reading this for the first time and having my head explode.
Flash rules.
Flash is actually really freaking awesome.
to quote Hal Jordan: “the fastest man alive was always late because he stopped to befriend the people he saved”
Barry Allen is a sweetheart
He even built a wheelchair ramp :’)
The people he saved are such a bunch of jerks though
