Even in Barry's intro narration where Barry says his mother was killed by something impossible then an accident made him the impossible? They spoke about believing in the impossible. Wouldn't believing in the impossible send a message about believing in magic? Well magic exists in this world, but in this fictional environment they are having all the powers from the particle accelerator be real science despite it being impossible. You just got to suspend your desbelief. Well, I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I am writing sci-fi novels about super heroes and the current one is literally a fairy. Yes, Fairy Girl is a human/alien hybrid who's mother came from the planet Fairix. The alien species on Fairix actually look like fairies from fantasy stories and even inspired the mythical fairies. Their bodies generate fairy dust, which is the source of their powers. Oh and the whole idea of fairies dying when someone doesn't believe? Well it does trigger an emotion in them that give them heart attacks. You can make almost anything scientific. And whenever I see Ralph stretching, I see missed opportunities for my previous book Rubber Girl, but thanks to my shared universe, I can have Katie Elaz show up in any book to sneeze her face off like Ralph. Well good luck on your books. I am just trying to get my bunch of superheroes off the ground from ideas to concept.

Though yes, some of the most outlandish abilities can be said to be science or tech or magic just because it is fiction and you have control
