Warning : contains spoilers forThe Flash # 775 !
Wally West , the Flash , may be the ego - proclaimed Fastest Man Alive , but he ’s formally stronger thanSupermanin one other important surface area . The Flash and Superman frequently racein DC Comics , and while Superman is fantastically fast , the Flash is arguably much faster . But inThe Flash # 775,written by Jeremy Adams with prowess by Fernando Pasarin and Matt Ryan and colour by Jeromy Cox , Wally prove himself before the humankind - and before Superman .
At the start of the upshot , Superman , the Flash and Mr. Terrific come across a mysterious purple glaive embedded in a fussy metropolis intersection . Superman seek to pull the glaive out of the street , but even after using all his strength , he ca n’t budge it one inch . Mr. Terrific reasons the weapon system might be charming in extraction ( which is why Superman ca n’t raise it ) , but Superman angrily responds"I told you , I WILL GET IT!“This is a highly uncharacteristic flare-up from Clark , and the Flash notices … then he noticeseveryone elseacting with anger : Mr. Terrific , his married woman , everyone at Star Labs , and finally the entire urban center . Wally West is likely the only one unaffected by the weapon .

It is n’t too long before a massive radical of supervillains ( including King Shark , Prometheus , Major Force , Gorilla Grodd and others ) rush to take the glaive for themselves . jiffy make do to hold them at bay before come out a impermanent shield around the glaive , causing everyone to return to normal ( until the shield fails ) . When the villain Starbreaker lay claim the glaive for himself - and is subsequently overcome by Flash - he wonder why the glaive has n’t affected him . “I guess I do n’t go in for that anger affair . That guy lives in Gotham . I ’m more of a ' be content in all things ' kind of dude these days . "
The Flash has always been faster than Superman - but now DC has all but confirmed he has a strongerwillas well . For all the terrible thingsthat has happened to Wally West , he still does n’t give into hate , fury or choler . The fact that Superman - possibly the purest example of an all - good Hero of Alexandria in comics - actuallydoessuccumb to the glaive ’s effect proves that Clark Kent is n’t nearly as incorruptible as he ab initio is likely .
Notably , the book mentions nothing aboutWally ’s Speed Force - found powersas the reason behind his immunity , so it does indeed boil down to his mental attitude toward life and sustenance . Wally West has always been a devil - may - care character , but his foolhardiness does n’t translate into anger . Supermancan certainly lift heavier objects and oppose cosmic villains , butthe Flashhas the king to withstand them in his own mind .
