I've heard a lot of people say this in the Battle Threads.....
Is it true?
Wally West
Character » Wally West appears in 3141 issues.
Struck by the same lightning bolt that turned his uncle Barry Allen into the Flash, Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West took the name Kid Flash, became Barry's sidekick, and joined the Teen Titans. Eventually, Wally became the Flash to honor his uncle's memory, who died saving the Universe. He also became a member of the Justice League. He married a woman named Linda Park and had two kids, Jai and Iris West II. Currently, Wally is active as the Flash.
So is Wally West unbeatable?
I've just seen people say that he could beat Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter all at once.
It's because of the general thought of 'blitz always wins' and the Flash's are practically the embodiments of that.
Wally however has an edge with the ability that he can take speed away from other speedsters.
But he is not unbeaterble when he's the 'regular' Flash, but very few are a threat to him if he's running at full speed. Zoom is one that can threaten him, so is Superboy Prime, who he could only defeat with the help of the others Flash's by pulling him into the speedforce, and that was only temporary. Otherwise you need someone who can either negate his speed (by magic or realitywarps) or strike him from a safe distance, like the Sinestro corpsman and John Steward who traded sniper fire across space sectors. And for all the speed he has, Wally cant fly.
yeah wally is beatable. The person beating him has to be mighty strong tho and really fast or just straight OP (over powered).
" @Band Lone said:To my understanding that's a bunch of WIS brought on by a Geoffcon. It was always understood that Wally was the fastest and he had the feats to back it up." Hes the fastest Flash but I doubt hes unbeatable "is this statement still accurate?I thought Barry Allen was the fastest now due to his time with the Speed Force"
Cosmic levels stomp him
Black racer beats him
Runner brobably beats him
Mkkari maybe beates him
Hermes and Hermod(marvel) might beat him
Zoom beats him
Flash 1,000,000 beats him
in an alternate reality Captain Marvel uses his speed of mercury and actually outraces him but thats not canon.
"Uh, both Barry and Wally have outraced Black Racer, and Wally's done it more than three times.Black racer beats him
"
"As I mentioned in this thread, Zoom II is currently in a wheelchair and isn't outracing anyone. Even at his peak he beat Wally in ONE story arc (and even in that story- Blitz- Wally ultimately was fast enough to stop Zoom). EVERY appearance since then he's been beaten by Wally and others. Using that one story arc to say Zoom II is always faster than Wally is like saying Bane is always a better fighter than Batman or that Doomsday is always stronger than Superman, despite repeated rematches showing to the contrary.Zoom beats him
"
"Runner brobably beats him
"
"Flash 1,000,000
No one is unbeatable in comics except maybe TOAA, but Wally is definitely one of the most powerful Superheroes of DC.
This. He can be beaten by higher tier characters like cosmics, teambusters, skyfathers etc but put him in comparison to DC or Marvel's heroes and Wally is certainly one of the most powerful out of them.
I think Wally is the best (not omnipotent) superhero.
I agree. I like him because he is the most powerful (non-omnipotent) superhero, but he down plays his own powers because he is a genuine good guy who checks his ego.
With Barry as "the Flash" (as I don't collect book after Wally was set aside for N52) was he given the abilities Wally has accumulated over the years?

No. He doesn't have any powers that Wally had and he didn't from before. He's got new powers that neither of them had in the Pre-52, though.
Nah, anybody who can manifest outside body (as projection or spirit) can beat Flash since speed based attacks won't work on her/him. Flash is good against people who rely on physical body
