10 Most Stupidly-Overpowered Superheroes In Comics History

3. The Flash

Captain Atom

It's very easy to consider the Flash as exclusively a hero with super-speed - as the super-speed is kind the of the crux of the heroes identity - but it's also very much worth remembering that gaining super-speed from the Speed Force actually also comes with a series of sneaky little side powers.

For example, Barry Allen's super-speed comes complete with accelerated healing, electrokinesis, dimensional travel, and many other abilities that could be considered powers within their own right.

While many of these powers are more explaining how the Flash manages to function at such speeds - as if he wasn't able to think that quickly his superhero career would be cut short by him crashing into a wall and dying - many others appear to have been tailor-made for specific scenarios, and thus have left the hero with an assortment of odd and unnecessary abilities for the foreseeable future.
