Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile in Flash's body, Lex Luthor threatens a technician's life by promising to vibrate his fingers into the man's brain. In the Flash comic #275 (July 1979), Iris Allen (the wife of the Barry Allen version of the Flash) loses her life when the villain (the Reverse-Flash) does exactly that to her.
- GoofsAfter Mr. Terrific causes "The Flash" and a crate to fall, everything and everyone else who falls do so without the noise of their impacts and can't be seen a moment later.

[Lex-as-Flash hides in a bathroom in the Watchtower to escape the pursuing League members]
The Flash: [panting] Lex, you're having a difficult day.
[looking in the mirror]
The Flash: Hmm... if nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity.
[Lex unmasks and looks in the mirror, then frowns]
The Flash: I have no idea who this is.

Featured review
How come when a villain enters Flash's body, it becomes unstoppable -- even to his colleagues who would be the ones who are most familiar with his abilities? But when The Flash is himself, he always gets hit, caught, slowed down, etc. in most any situation with the bad guys.
I guess it just followed the typical protocol where the bad guy(s) would always seem unstoppable when the episode starts, but finally seeing The Flash this kick-ass and powerful -- but with someone else controlling his body -- is a bit disappointing, as he rather sucks as himself and seldom reaches his full potential.
If you think about it, he shouldn't really/even be hit with the attacks of anyone whose speed is a million times slower than his (unless they do unavoidably massive, area-of-effect attacks or if he's kind of incapacitated to begin with) ...yet he often ends up getting himself hit somehow, as if every villain also has light speed.
I'm a big fan of the character in general, and this has always boggled me.
