Since I posted the "Auto Win button - Wally' scenario in another Battle thread let me defend it here as well...
firstly...
@moonman78: He's blood lusted. He wants you dead. He will kill his opponent. The IMP or Infinite Mass Punch has the same power as if a white dwarf star hit you, which is near that of a neutron star. That would shatter a planet if he actually use it. Unlike superman who when he uses it knocks him out flash can do millions a second from the speed force connection. He could speed steel anyone you have listed and turn them into statues. Hell Jay Garick the slowest flash did a speed steel on superman. Or he can phase their brains out. Or dump them in the speed force. Or do the good old fashoined Infinite Mass Punch. No one you listed would win. Not to mention a blood lusted one who could jest grab them and send them to another planet in a femtosecond.
this is important... all those bolded points are why I said a Wally, especially bloodlusted and not held back by PIS/CIS/WIS, would be so hard to beat....
The stuff your saying is based totally on theory, it has never been proven. In comics we have to go mostly on feats, and flash has never displayed this kind of power when a superman level character steps to him this is what usually happens
Flash attacks
He gets one shotted
Flash attacks
He gets one shotted
Flash tries to attack and is one shotted
Flash attacks and is one shotted
Flash attempts to blitz and is hurt
Flash attacks amazo and is one shotted
Flash could not ever take on Amazo without help, he wouldn't even dream of it..
Kid flash attacks Deathstroke with all his speed yet, and gets one shotted
Wally attacks Deathstroke and is handled.
firstly what you are showing as evidence is a comic book, which to tell a story is filled with CIS, PIS, WIS etc. I direct you to the battles forum rules:Battle Forum Rules. and I will quote a few paragraphs...
"PIS and CIS
These are terms commonly used on battle forums on other sites and most of us know what they mean. For those who don’t, PIS is “plot induced stupidity” and CIS is “character induced stupidity”. PIS/”jobbing” is when a character loses for the sake of plot despite the fact that they should be able to win. CIS is when a character loses because an aspect of the character (usually a lack of intelligence) gets in his own way. Superman losing to Batman would be PIS is most cases since Superman is perfectly capable of beating Batman in a number of ways before he can react. Sandman losing to Spider-Man is CIS because Sandman isn’t all that smart so Spider-Man, who is less powerful and should be easy to beat, can outsmart him and find victory.
Determining what is done for the plot and what is done because of the characters involved can be hard for some people. Superman is a prime case. In comics, Superman rarely uses his speed offensively. This is done for plot, to prolong the story and make it interesting (though it can also be said that it's a part of his character and not done solely because it benefits the story). In comics, Superman doesn’t kill. He does not spare his enemies because of the plot, he spares them because it’s part of his character not to kill thanks to how he was raised. In battles on the forum we include CIS, but not PIS, so Superman uses his speed but generally doesn’t kill unless otherwise stated. (“Bloodlust”)
This kind of gets into “bad writing”. It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot but one I don’t think always applies. Not every fight where the more powerful/capable character loses is bad writing. Situations can determine the winner just as much as the characters themselves so those should be taken into account before judging if a win “should” have happened or not."
... many of your scans show PIS sir. It is great for a story but in a battle forum (such as Comic Vine) where bloodlusted Wally will not be hindered, by a story or PIS/CIS, would be hard to win against. That is why we have Battle forums, to eliminate stories and such and get to the gist of whether A can beat B, otherwise we would just read the comics themselves.
If Flash has a power, attosecond/femtosecond/nanosecond etc speed powered by some seemingly omniversal mysterious Speed Force that allows him to IMP, speed steal, speed lend etc and has demonstrated the ability to do it before (this is where scans come in), with some consistency as well (not a once off come from nowhere type of power... #lookingatyouSentry) then Flash can do it here in a Battle Forum. Just because a comic, which must adhere to PIS and such for a story, shows Flash being tripped and beaten by Deathstroke =/= Deathstroke actually has a chance against Flash for real. After all if Flash was moving at attosecond speeds how would Deathstroke even trip him? As for the others where you post various incarnations of Flash (or different aged Flash) umm yeah...
So it is not a theory but a fact... Flash has said power, he has demonstrated such power = he can do such power. Just because he does not utilize such a power in a comic for the sake of a story doesn't invalidate the former.
So You see flash is not on the level of a superman character he cant handle the really big threats by himself, and he consistently gets one shotted by these guys. How come he never uses speed steal or a hundred IMPs like half of you guys say he can use, ill tell you because that stuff doesn't work on these top level characters, unless you think hes too incompetent, Thor has powers that he doesn't use as smart as he should most of the time but at least we know Thors powers work at this level because they have, and they mostly always do when he uses them. Flash on the other hand NEVER has or hardly ever does because that stuff doesn't work against the really big dogs,.. sorry. There are almost no instances of that stuff happening successfully so I'm pretty sure the writers think he is below Supermans area of power in the pecking order of DC characters.
It doesn't matter what was said on Panel Flash has never displayed the power to destroy a planet, NEVER in his whole history. A lot of things are said on panel but until they are proven we cant state them as true. Spiderman, and most of the avengers said Sentry was the most powerful hero in the universe, and booster gold stated that Doomsday was faster than Flash.
Flash is on the level of Superman characters, many characters get defeated by other characters that should not even breathe air next to them, why? Because it is a story.
The reason he doesn't IMP thousands of times, speed steals etc half the time is because WHO WOULD BUY THAT COMIC? A one panel comic where it shows the villian, then attosecond Wally, then 'THE END'. No story, nothing but 'wham, bam and thank you ma'am' (actually not even that just "ma'am"). It's the reason everyone does that, Superman/ WW/ Thor/ SS/ Galuctus/ Odin/ Darkseid etcnever utilize their full powers and abilities from the get go because that would be a boring comic. Also what proof you do you have that he couldn't do that to Superman level characters?
As for the Thor comment, you are being egregious sir. You account for Thor using various powers even when he forgets he can do said such powers, and forget that Wally has done said powers against people like Mongul/AMAZO (with the JLA powers)/Spectre/ Hal etc and also doesn't do it at other times, never mind that he has held his own so your never comment is wrong.
We use logic sir PRIMARILY, and feats to gauge a character's strengths and weaknesses. Not PIS, inconsistencies etc. If Thor can bfr via a vortex then he can bfr an opponent via a vortex... just because he doesn't do it to hulk =/= Thor is less than Hulk. On panel is not the be all and end all, logic is. That is why PIS exists, because on panel scans can be illogical.
good day
