20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The Flash

16. Psychics Can't Read His Mind

It's not just The Flash's body which moves fast; his mind is also capable of easily outpacing a regular person's. This helps him to figure out the best plan of attack as he races into battle, but also has an unusual side effect which provides the Scarlet Speedster with a very unique ability. One of The Flash's greatest foes is Gorilla Grodd, an intelligent gorilla with the power to control minds. He can't take over Barry Allen however as his mind simply runs too fast to be read or controlled, giving the hero a distinct advantage. This makes him unique in the Justice League, especially when the likes of Batman and Superman are easily swayed.
