I'm compiling a list of the ways Jay Garrick was shown to use his speed in Flash Comics through issue 104. So only powers he used before Barry Allen was created. I'm particularly interested in,
was Jay Garrick ever shown running across water
did he ever run up the sides of buildings?
could Jay pass through solids by vibrating at super speed
did he ever save himself from a fall by 'running on air' to build up air pressure underneath him
did he ever create whirlwinds by running in circles
did he ever deliberately create winds by whirling his arms, or spinning like a top?
Barry has done all those things, and after they met, Jay could do them too - but did Jay do them first?
I've spot checked some of the issues and this is the list of some of the things he did in those issues:
He can run incredibly fast. His reflexes are incredibly fast. Sometimes when he runs, he creates vast winds; other times he seems to be able to slip through the air without creating even a breeze. He can make himself invisible. In one issue, he somehow uses his speed to make Joan invisible as well, at least for a short time.
He can swim at super speed. He can pluck bullets from the air. He can create heat from rubbing things together at super speed. Once he created air vibrations that shattered incoming bullets. Once he was changed to gold by a ray, and was able to vibrate and change his molecular structure back to human.
He can't fly, although
