I've kind'ave been nervous to do this, but uh...here goes nothing.
I have always felt that Star Level wasn't really where Flash was at in power. I feel as if an MSS Upgrade could work, and I could promote more information on Flash that could be handy.
Note that I'll be using more then just N52 and Post-Crisis feats.
Here goes.
Strength:
First off we'll analyze the most basic thing Flash does: running. Simlpe physics demonstrates the enormity of the Flash's strength. Force- Mass x Velocity. Now follow along, the average leg weighs 20% of a person's body weight. According to DC Comics, the FLash weighs 175 lbs, which means each leg wegihs approximately 35lbs. Meaning that at leasurely pace of Mach 4, Flash would exert more then 24,000 lbs of force with each step on the floor.
And now for the math behind it:
20% of 175 = 35.
Force= 35lbs x 3072mph (Mach 1=768. Mach 4= 768 x 4).
Force= 107520 newton's.
107,520 newtons = 24,170lbs.
This is only the force exerted by Flash at the Speed of Sound. However, it's a whole other ballgame when reaching light-speed. According to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, mass reaches infinity when traveling at the speed of light. So the Flash is perfectly capable of throwing punches with infinite force behind them. Not only that, he's able to control it due to the speed force (the physics bending aura that protects him when traveling at such high speeds) and can choose to punch with the force of planets or entire solar systems.
So in summary, The Flash is accelerating at speeds difficult to quantify. This gives him the ability to exert massive amounts of force, essentially giving him super strength.
Now lets see that speed and strength with speed & strength feats.
-Punched with a force that could wobble a planet off its axis (Pre-Crisis).
-Would Flash fighting Spectre here be considered an outlier ?
-Manipulated the Speed Force to blitz Grodd (New 52).
-Stunned Superma (New 52).
-Fights Supergirl (New 52).
-Was strong enough to hurt Martian Manhunter by phasing through him.
-Runs so fast, he breaks out of a Lantern construction.
-One-shots death. The same death who killed Darkseid, and the same Darkseid who fought Anti-Monitor.
Durability:
-Survived a flick from Superma (New 52).
-Don't know how impressive that is, unless N52 Supes is MSS or higher.
-Survived getting kicked by The Spectre, apparently sending him to Mars (Pre-Crisis).
-Was the first one to get up from an attack from Darkseid (New 52).
-New 52 Darkseid can be considered Skyfather level.
-Tanks hits from Reverse-Flash.
-Tanks MFTL punches.
-When Pandora used Flash to recreate the DC Universe,it caused a reality warping event according to the Imaginary Axis which may be what was hurting Flash.
Speed:
-Outran death through time.
-Note that Jay Garrick claims death itself cannot go faster then light, so Flash must've been going at Immeasurable speeds (could be wrong here).
-Achieves white lightning, meaning hes going REALLY fast.
-Don't know whats going on here.
-Destroys the Anti-Monitors antimatter canon that would've destroyed the Multiverse.
-Note: He didn't die. He was sent to the Speed Force.
-Searches the universe in mere moments.
-Leaves Superman in dust.
-We all know the attosecond feat by now.
-Beat Pre-Crisis Superman in a race.
-Learned an alien language in less then a minute.
-Blah blah blah, Justice League slow computer.
-Processes all things around him to the point of precognition.
-When obtaining Bart Allen's speed,he goes faster then he has ever had, and Pandora uses him to bring three timelines together to make the New 52.
Speed Force:
-New 52 Flash has shown to have complete control over the Speed Force, and fougth Grodd in there (somewhere above).
-The Speed Force ran through Barry's mind to calculate an infinite number of possibilities when given a Green Lantern ring.
-Speed Force helped Barry resist Soul Possession.
-Produces more and more of the Speed Force with every step he takes.
Speed Force Powers:
-Phasing
-Vortex/Tornado Creation
-Time Manipulation
-Speed Steal:
-Speed Steal negates all and any durability. It turns someone into a living statue. Stuck in time.
-When Barry goes to stop himself from causing Flashpoint, Bart Allen comes to give Barry his speed, thus resulting in Barry taking his speed.
-Steals not only Daniel West's speed , but drains him of his powers.
-Healing
-Infinite Mass Punch
-Entering the Speed Force
Thats my write-up for Barry Allen upgrades. Take it as you will.
