    Default Does the Speed Force aura protects normal people being carried by Speedesters?

    Well, first of all, I'm not much of a Flash comic book reading guy, so I'm pretty noob in this subject:

    I was wondering about it, let's say Batman is in Gotham but needs to be in Russia in one minute, any speedester like Flash or Impulse could carry him there, but to be protected from the insane speed, the speed force aura would protect him too?

    Thanks for the help.

    I assume so, I know that those who have the speed force can bring others into it and channel it in different ways, like steal speed of others.

    Yes, it would have to or the person their carrying would be burned or ripped apart once they started hitting multiple Mach Speeds.

    What about the ones with super speed who don't use the Speed Force, like Superman? What if he carries Batman to Tokyo at 900,000 miles an hour? Would he just be holding a shredded, smoking skeleton by then, or and intact Batman?

    I don't think there is a "scientific explanation" for what Superman does when he picks up a person.

    Bats would be toast.

    A speedster's aura also protects who or what they carry/touch.
    Wally once shared his speed with Linda so she could run with him and have an understanding of how he sees the world.

    I think its assumed everyone with super speed has a form of speedforce aura to protect regular civilians that they carry
    GL's have the ring aura
    Superman has the some psychokinetic aura
    etc

    ^
    That panel came from JLA #15 (Nov 1962)

    Also he uses the fact that the aura protects and extends to others, as a means to defeat Zoom, by intentionally holding him outside the protective aura. Zoom literally starts burning up!

    Flash #139 (Sep 1963)

    Very good man! Gread findings.

    So, his aura protects other people he is carrying with him, but he can choose and hold them as far as he can from his body to make sure they are not protected.

    Indeed. "Speed Force" was always an umbrella concept made to accommodate all the cool **** speedsters (and technically, at the point of it's creation, Barry specially) could do.

    To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!
