These characters are somehow immune to the effects of friction - specifically, the chafing that would naturally occur from using extremely rapid speed for extended periods of time, especially while wearing spandex. Again, this is only for characters that aren't explicitly described as Nigh Invulnerable; presumably, that would also cover friction damage. The same applies to the materials in contact with speedster, especially clothes (that should be bent to move): either [[My Suit Is Also Super|invulnerability is extended to them]] or they are going to be damaged and possibly disintegrated/incinerated.<ref>([[Fridge Brilliance]]: that probably explains why [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] is a [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]].)</ref> For instance, the various speedsters of the [[The DCU]] related to [[The Flash]] each have a thin invisible aura that protects their bodies from air friction (and, presumably, the impact of their feet hitting the ground at several hundred miles per hour several hundred times per second). This aura also allows them to survive the rigors of outer space.
