Speed Force

From the DCAU Wiki, working on 1,873 articles

The Speed Force was a mysterious energy field that served as the source of the Flash's superspeed powers.

[edit] History

By approaching near-light speeds, the Flash was able to tap into the speed force's energies to defeat the combined Luthor/Brainiac entity, but he was nearly pulled into the speed force as a result. Were the Flash to ever again attain such velocities, he would run the risk of being permanently pulled into the speed force.

[edit] Background information

In the DC comics continuity, the Speed Force is the energy field which powers all speedsters (individuals who can achieve superspeed). Several speedsters have been absorbed into the Speed Force, however, when they achieved speeds that exceeded their capabilities. Wally West's near absorption into the Speed Force was similar to the death of Barry Allen, Wally's uncle and predecessor as the Flash, when he destroyed antimatter cannon created by the Anti-Monitor during the First Crisis by running around it and causing it to explode.
