          In a lot of Flash canon, his metabolism is/was insane. That might have been before the Speedforce took root as the extradimensional power source.

            Maybe I’m behind the curve. I sold my car to scrap a while ago and haven’t been able to get another one.

            By the way off topic but it sucks so much to not have a car in America. I thought it was like that in general but I started watching NotJustBikes and holy fuck why can’t it be like that here.

        He can run around the world in a second, but the catch is he has to run around the world.

      I had a Batman action figure with a bright prison orange suit. The least stealthy suit possible. But I was 8 and thought it looked cool and begged my mom for it.

    I imagine that his perception of time is also affected when he uses his super speed. Yes, he can run from one side of the continent to the other and back in a fraction of a second. But from his perspective, he just ran nonstop for an entire month.

      Subjectively, a stop light or stop sign must feel like an eternity for this guy. Or conversations, for that matter.

        There is a storyline about Quicksilver constantly being frustrated because of how slow everything and everyone is.

      It’s canon that he can alter the speed at which information is processed / how he perceives the flow of time / events.

        But does that alter his ability to do things at speed? If he does all the housework in s second, can he make it feel like a second, or does the fact that he has to pay attention to what he’s doing mean that subjectively it takes just as long as doing it at normal speed?

          I think of it being like how a pro golfer does like a dozen things in the split second it takes them to swing a gold club, and they all have to be perfectly coordinated, but they really don’t think of each and every little movement in sequence as it happens.
