past, with numerous examples such as DC Comics' iconic character "The

(who has been featured in any number of comic books, animations, feature-films

red costume, or the famous DeLorean time-machine from Universal Pictures'
"Back to the Future"[31]
franchise, directed by Robert Zemeckis leaving streaks of flame in its wake
when reaching great speed.
