Actual SCIENCE!
Actual bad science, but actual science none-the-less. I give you, The amazingly mundane secret origin of Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash.
For those who don’t know, Jay obtained his powers by inhaling fumes from a strange and mysterious substance. Well, no actually, fumes from a mundane, every day substance – “hard” water. This isn’t like radiation or even magnetism, hard water is pretty much an established thing with no known effects, and has been for, oh I don’t know, ever.
Apparently not in the DCU though.
“Science knows” nothing of the sort, Professor Pointybeard!
