And when dealing with the case of a human moving at Flash-like speeds,
that's a big problem. You really can't discount air resistance in that case
and claim any relationship to real physics. (But the Flash himself uses the
Speed Force to negate air resistance, so again, it is "schtick-dependent".)

On the other hand, when dealing with a human running at a touch beyond
normal human running speed, it's much less of a problem. Air resistance is
barely noticeable at human running speeds in still air.

IIRC, air resistance is generally proportional to the square of speed (but
I'd have to look it up to be sure - maybe tonight).
