I am willing to confess that TODAY is the day I learned:
that Johnny Quick could turn OFF his speed by reciting his speed formula BACKWARDS.
And that's justcomic book logic!

I ... didn't realize that either. I just assumed he operated at superspeed until it "timed out" on him, probably when he loses concentration. I actually like the thought that he has to use a mantra and focus to activate and maintain his speed -- it's a sensible limiting factor that keeps him from entering the way-overpowered speedster group.

It does "time out" automatically; its efficacy lasts for exactly six hours. But he can turn it off prematurely.
