Powers Of A Flash
As a Flash, the powers of running at super speeds are bestowed upon them:
Super Speed: The two most rememberable Flashes' are Barry Allen and his nephew Wally West. Both of these Flashes' have been recorded to break the sound barrier at 700 Mph, and is even seen rewinding or fast forwarding Time. However, only by 2 or 3 seconds. The Flash or Flashes can also travel the speed of light! While a Flash runs he sees everything in slow motion, and has to take time to look at the beauty of nature by paying attention.
Stamina: As a Flash, their Stamina isn't like most humans or meta humans. They can run for hours and days, without showing any natural tiredness. However, they have to eat a truck load of food to keep their energy up.
