DC confirms that Santa Claus is Faster than the Flash

Leave a comment

A special holiday comic issue released by American DC comics, the makers of your favourite comic DC superhero comics has let the cat out of the bag on the question every kid and adult’s been asking every Christmas season; How’s Santa able to get around hundreds of homes in just one night. We’ll see.

In the brief story comic written by Bobby Moynihan who once worked as an SNL cast member and artist Pop Mhan, we see this Santa’s secret out in the open as the comic proves that Santa Claus is a better speedster than the flash. The story “Tis the Season To Be Freezin’ #1, features Captain Cold and The Flash in their attempt to save Central City’s Christmas, set aside their differences although it seems Flash is not a speedster at all when compared with Big Ol’ Santa in delivering various gifts to the many children counting on it.

Looking into “Christmas: Cold and Fast” we see a truckload full of toys which Captain Cold had initially wanted to sell in the market for a nice Christmas profit, Flash gets to come in contact with him and Captain Cold tells him in a confession that he wants to give the less privileged kids in the city a memorable Christmas morning by delivering the toys to them instead. This shows that not all heroes wear capes and Captain Cold has a good heart. Flash eventually convinces him to do something extra by refreezing Central City’s Ice rink which had shut down following the massive heatwave that occurred in the city.

The duo eventually agrees to work together to save Christmas for the kids. Captain Cold conditionally refreezes the ice rink and makes the season complete with the snow falling, while Flash does dress-up as Santa Claus to bring the toys to the kids. It’s all in the Christmas season as we see how different individuals, no matter association or creed or race set aside their differences and work together for the common good. However, the closing point brings up the “Big Man in Red” with his eight reindeer and sledge with a speed that can be rivalled, if not surpassable to The Flash’s speed force. Well, it might seem that way due to his ability to deliver toys to a lot of homes on the night of Christmas Eve. Bringing us to the thought of who would prevail between the two if they were put to the test, say a big race. It’s a very funny way to bring the story to a close, but does this now suggest that Big Ol’ Santa is a mighty speedster and can function in the same capacity as The Flash looking at his speed force?

Overall, the comic issue’s a big one for the yuletide holidays and even more memorable due to this Flash v Santa discussion as in the buildup to putting smiles on faces, we see The Flash’s speed as one of the many abilities he brings to the table in saving the world. Don’t you just love the Christmas season? Would you like to see this two faceoff in one big race? (I sure would) who do you think would win? Would like to know what you think about it.

3 ways Makkari from the Eternals is a better Speedster than the Flash

Leave a comment

Since Marvel’s “Eternals” movie was released, this debate has been going on for a while as to who’s faster among these two speedsters : Marvel’s own Makkari from the Eternals and DC’s Barry Allen, commonly known as the flash. Before we get into the main deal let’s recap who these characters are:

Makkari

Makkari is a member of a race of genetically modified beings, who were created at the world forge by the Celestials. These Celestials arrived Earth in 5000 B.C to fast track the progress of Humanity and protect humans from Villains called ” deviants”.

Barry Allen “The Flash”

The Flash, a founding member of the Justice League, is widely regarded as the world’s fastest man. He taps into the Speed Force and transforms into a costumed crime-fighter using his super-speed abilities.

Now let’s get down to business, How is Makkari a better Speedster than the Flash??

1.Superhuman Strength

When it comes to strength, i believe we can agree that barry is behind. Makkari possesses superhuman strength able to lift at least 30 tons under normal conditions. Well as for barry, let’s just say he’s human in that aspect.

2.Combat Skills

Barry isn’t particularly skilled in hand-to-hand combat. His prior fights with Reverse Flash, Zoom, Godspeed, Gorilla Grodd, and others demonstrate this. It normally takes him a long time to find out a means to defeat Villains without resorting to speed. Barry Allen can be beaten to a pulp by a Speedster who is on the same level as him and has good combat skills.

Makkari, on the other hand, has millennia of fighting experience. Makkari’s metabolism is additionally boosted by cosmic energy, therefore she doesn’t get tired from physical activity.

3.Earth-Eternal Physiology

Makkari, like the other eternals has a lifeform supported by cosmic energy and has complete Control over her body even when he’s sleep or unconscious. This is to say that Makkari cannot die from old age and is immune to diseases to a degree not known. Makkari also has body reinforced by cosmic energy making her indestructible. The only force that can injure Makkari is a cosmic force stronger than hers, or a distintegration at the molecular level.

Well this is merely an opinion, leave yours in the comment box.
