    There’s often references to his flakiness. Its a common trope in various series that he’ll here someone in trouble and excuse himself to go save them. Sometimes it just shows him “accidentally” dropping a pen, reaching under the table to get it, and using his super speed to zip off and save someone.

          The physics of that speed and the air pressure means he’d be literally blowing people’s clothes off in the office.

            There was an open window and they’re on a high floor.

            Though it was something I was thinking about. Could he somehow use his super breath to replace any displaced air? Does the same super-shielding effect that keeps his costume from get torn in every fight also keep him from being affected by air resistance and thus cause less disturbance when he’s moving at super speeds?

            Its all comic book magic, of course, but interesting things to think about.
