Flashpoint Paradox

Watching the mangled body in his hand, which had nearly turned into a lump of rotten flesh, recover at an astonishing speed, Raymond wore a very surprised expression.

In his impression, the vast majority of Speedsters were glass cannons. While they could evade nearly any attack with their speed, their own defenses were not particularly strong.

Even so, it was still clear that Reverse-Flash's physical toughness far surpassed that of The Flash, Barry Allen.

Was this the effect of the Reverse Speed Force?

Or had he used some unknown technique or technology to strengthen his body?
