While The Boys ' woodworking plane scene is mired in nihilistic delusion , the Flash choose for a more optimistic route . InThe Flash # 3by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato , a mysterious top executive surge has immerse Central City into absolute duskiness . If the amnesia was n’t high-risk enough , a plane is lead directly for a collision with a bridge andBarry Allen ’s Flash , is the only one who can stop it . Barry expend his speed to found himself from the soil and onto the plane . While doing so , he detail the awesome thing his connection to the Speed Force allow him to pull off .

It should be mark that this particular issueofThe Flashwasreleased in 2011 , a simple three long time after theThe Boys’21st yield sport its infamous plane scene . That ’s not to say this tantrum was intended to be a lineal reply to Ennis and Robertson ’s bleak saving attempt . However , it is interesting that Barry was able to salve a plane solo whenThe Boys’Flash parody , Mister Marathon , is demonstrate to be woefully out of his league when it came to saving the day .
The Boysis a dark put-on of the superhero literary genre that paint heroes as cowardly at serious and downright savage at speculative . The Boys’plane crashscene served to show how much could actually go incorrect with a mathematical group of non - professional treat a crisis state of affairs . But the Cuban sandwich of the DC Universe are much more experient and uncoerced to give their spirit to protect those in need . Flash in all probability had no musical theme if he was capable to expand his phasing technique to an full aeroplane , but he attempted it anyway . WhileThe Boys’lampooned the idea of how uneffective a speedster would be rescuing a plane , theFlash’ssuccess reinforces the idea that for a sub , there ’s always a mode to pull through the twenty-four hour period .
