I don't remember what movie, or cartoon, or whatever it was... something made me think about if you were able to move "super fast"... (to the point where something falling from a foot up would take an hour or two to your time reference)...
that you would be creating an INTENSE amount of friction, and catch things on fire/melt them.
If you're moving that fast, you'd have to have a lot of kinetic energy. I'm sure flicking someone in the face with your pinky would probably kill them. Though, I don't know how exactly it'd look to the person going extremely fast. (They hit something, how fast does it move relative to them?)
But anyways. If you were moving incredibly fast. 10% of lightspeed? Or something...
Would you be causing a lot of havoc, simply by moving around?

Assuming that you were in an atmosphere, then yes, friction would probably light you on fire. Accelerations and tidal forces would probably rip you to pieces if simple drag didn't, and you'd be carrying about 5*10^15 joules of kinetic energy for every kilogram that you weigh, if I did the calculations correctly, so yes, if you kit something you'd destroy it, and that includes buildings.

Sure. For instance, I can be a Human Torch if I wanted to, provided that I didn't mind burning to death. Or I could fly, if I didn't mind the whole falling-to-my-death bit.

Actually, the Flash's power has no problems, as it was explained with a deus ex machina called the Speed Force.
