16. Speedsters And Intelligence
- Company: Numerous
- Real Science: Biology
- Possible to Recreate: Somewhat
One very common thought among those who write comics is that they seem to be under the belief that, if you are a speedster then you’re naturally going to be smarter. This is likely due to a higher perception of things around you and your speed to process information as well as shift through what you know easier and faster than others. Most speedsters like The Flash and even his enemy, Eobard Thawn, are both highly intelligent. Even Quicksilver has shown sparks of brilliance too!
When going over the facts behind comic book characters like this, can we say their intelligence is that much better than a normal human? It’s possible. Due to their speed, they will be able to process information and remember it as well as recall it better than we can. ADHD people, who often have speed in their minds, are often seen as smart. Sadly, due to ADHD affecting recall, they cannot always show this.
