While the Flash's powers allow him to pull off incredible feats of heroism, they also come with a horrifying cost that was pointed out by Marvel. X-Men's Velocidad ages at relativistic speed, losing weeks of his life whenever he employs his superspeed.

While the Flash is easily one of the most powerful heroes in the DC Universe, his abilities do have a number of side effects that could prove detrimental to the Scarlet Speedster, including one horrifying weakness that was actually revealed by Marvel Comics.

Wally West aka the Flash is able to pull off astounding feats of heroism because of his connection to a cosmic power grid known as the Speed Force. By channeling the Speed Force, the Flash can sprint through the time stream, heal incredibly fast, and even separate his molecules to phase through objects at will.

Based on the fact that the Flash’s metabolism and body functions speed up because of his powers, he should logically also suffer the same fate as Velocidad. In JLA #66 by Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke, the Flash revealed that he has over three hundred sleep cycles per day.

While DC has never hinted that the Flash’s powers make him age at a rapid rate, Marvel Comics took the rules set by Flash’s biology and applied it to an original character within its universe and didn’t pull any punches in terms of depicting the horrifying cost of his powers.
