So far as I can recall, the Flash does not have super-strength. He wears a special suit that protects his body from the effects of travelling at super-speed. As far as strength is concerned, his one great advantage is the fact that the faster an object is moving, the greater the force of impact when it makes a sudden stop. (Because there is more energy built up in the momentum of his movement, and that energy must be dispersed when he comes to a stop). So, if the flash is punching you at super-speed, it has the effect of super-strength, because his arm has built up more momentum than, say, Batman's would, and therefore, has the effect of hitting a motionless object with more impact force.

PHYSICS'd!
