The Flash could save a lot of citizens thanks to his special abilities.
The iconic Flash suit was specially designed to be fireproof and was ideal for running at lightspeed and fighting crime.The suit was made in red with a golden belt, red gloves, yellow boots, a red mask with two little golden wings and of course his iconic lightning bolt symbol on the chest.
When a common citizen became the Flash he was gifted with the power of the speedforce, this is the principal ability he had and it allowed him to run at light's speed and beyond.
Certainly this is not an ability he used a lot and this is because of the risk it comes with, the new Flash have said that traveling through time can cause terrible consequences.
Due to his Super speed he could create a cyclone rotating his arms quickly, this ability in particular helped him to turn off fire and stop falling people in many occasions.
Unlike of common punches this one had something in particular, the Flash ran from a long distance and he hit his target with all his strength, Turtle Man has been the only one who has avoided this movement.
As a last resource he had the ability to vibrate his hand and be capable of killing people with it. The Flash only used this ability once against the reverse Flash when he killed him.
When he ran he could create lightnings and this allowed him to use it as a weapon, he ran in circles and then aimed to his objective throwing a discharge of energy from his arms.
The usage of the Speed Force allowed him to have a really fast healing factor, thanks to this he could keep fighting foes with super strenght like Grodd or Savitar.
This ability protected him when he ran at a high velocity thanks to the Speed Force, that's one of the reasons he always won superman in race.
The Flash could share his speed with anyone he touched and move or talk as he or she were a speedster, but unfortunately this abilitie only worked for a few minutes because it exhausted him a lot.
This one is one of the most powerful and functional abilities that saved him in many situations, the Flash used the speedforce to enter in phase and through objects.
A recent discovery says the citizen that used to be the flash wore a ring that contained his suit in it, here are some images.
