If Flash were ruthless

Assuming that The Flash has super-quick reflexes, super-quick reaction time, coordination at high speed, and can start off at high speed, and if, he were ruthless and willing to severely hurt and violently kill people, his super power, "speed" would make him unbeatable. No one could touch him. He could literally run through people, like a human bullet, and explode them. I got the idea from watching a segment of The Boys, where a speedster does exactly. He ran through and disintegrated a woman.

Like Zoom did to Flash's father in season 2

I didn't see that. was it ruthless and brutal. Just imagine if the Flash were. He'd be unbeatable.

This is PRECISELY why I stopped watching the Flash (or reading the comics). It simply makes no sense. . .they constantly NERF Barry in order to tell their silly stories. Someone that can move at light speed Never Loses A Fight. He'd punch his opponent in the head a thousand times, in the space between the first two syllables of their first word. Endof.

You are exactly right.

'they constantly NERF Barry...'

' Someone that can move at light speed Never Loses A Fight.'

This is very true. I remember when Flash (along with the rest of the JL!) got taken out by Deathstroke because Deathstroke anticipated where Flash would move to and ran his leg through with a sword!

Doomsday Clock has a scene which actually shows you how dangerous a speedster should be when Reverse Flash beats Batman almost to a pulp in the Batcave without breaking a sweat.

I remember that. It's the type of scene that used to make me throw the comic against the wall. Nowadays, I just throw up my hands.
There's a GREAT scene in the Injustice comic where the DC heroes are having a melee civil war, and in the middle of the chaos Superman pulls Flash aside and they have a conversation. It's pretty funny. . .they're having a drawn out discussion, and EVERYBODY around is essentially a statue. Which is EXACTLY what Deathstroke would look like to Barry, in ANY fight. Shrug.

"Doomsday Clock has a scene which actually shows you how dangerous a speedster should be when Reverse Flash beats Batman almost to a pulp in the Batcave without breaking a sweat."
Yup. It's maddening. . .sometimes they cop to the fact that this is what would happen Every Time, and sometimes they just ignore it. Ah well.
