The Flash, Season 3

Joe:
What'd you find out?

Barry:
Okay, get this. So the outer layer of the lamppost is a half an inch thick. But to bend even a quarter of an inch of steel requires 177 tons of tensile strength. So...

Joe:
So we're looking for a meta with super-strength.

Barry:
Well, I'm not sure yet, but that's as much as I could find.

Joe:
What? Why?

Julian Albert:
Because I showed up. Yes, any problems with Barry's little theory is that there were no fingerprints on the post.

Barry:
Again, Julian, not my theory. And the meta could have been wearing gloves.

Julian:
Yes, perhaps. But the curvature on the post suggests that equal amounts of pressure were applied to the whole thing at the same time. So, unless our strongman has a wingspan of over twenty feet...

Joe:
Something else caused it.

Julian:
Yes.
