And he's also stood in the middle of a supernova to no effect. In comics you learn different writers have different interpretations of characters and power levels. The Brick to the head is BY FAR a extremely low showing and a statistical outlier. You know Hulk got beat up and choked out by a Boa Constrictor too, right?
That's why abstract beings are lame and no fun. Keep this shyt to Earth based heroes to cosmic level heroes and villains. Beyond that is just guessing.
You my nikka Gizzle but a lot of this is factually wrong...
Everytime Flash goes faster than the speed of light, he risks getting absorbed into the speed force so its rare we've ever actually seen him do so because he always runs a risk of the Black Racer showing up. We've never actually seen Flash go beyond 4 times the speed of light, whereas we have seen Surfer and Superman go faster than that on more than one occasion.
Flash can move faster than HUMAN thought, but not faster than some aliens or other beings can process things, and its something he has to actively turn on. Which is how someone like Deathstroke, who always processes things faster than a normal human can get a slight jump on him as he has countless times in the past.
And Barry Allen only outran Death for a while, he eventually got caught, let's not misinterpret the stories.
And Flash CANNOT absorb the speed force from Surfer as he uses no speed force to move and it doesn't exist in the Marvel Universe as showin in JLA/Avengers. Only way this is viable is if we place them in a shared universe, in which it will be negated and countered by Surfer's cosmic awareness.
And Barry is not as fast or as powerful as Wally and this has been on record for years. Surfer can easily disrupt and defeat Flash by taking his traction away from him and then taking him out with one single blast or mental bolt.
Flash is one of my top 5 heroes, but him vs. Surfer is a mismatch that's way in Surfer's favor.
False. Are you thinking of the Justice League cartoon? The Flash can access the speed force at will and has gone FTL plenty of times. As for Superman
False once again. Deathstroke is only able to tag Flash (I'm speaking of Wally West) because of PIS.
The Flash doesn't absorb speed force....he steals speed. He'll be able to steal speed in any Universe because that ability isn't dependent on the speed force. Surfer's cosmic awareness doesn't save from getting attacked by enemies.
True Wally is the fastest flash. Taking away his traction? You know the Flash doesn't need a solid surface to run on right?
The Flash is too fast for TP to work on him.
I think Surfer would win but he would not stomp the Flash.
the skrulls have made reed richards fall back, he's smart but in this environment he doesn't impress me
best odds:
1. Superman
2. HULK
3. Flash
4. Franklin Richards / beyonder / scarlet witch [they control REALITY]
5. Black Adam - don't sleep: he made damn near the entire DC universe BOW DOWN straight ripping through them. He is PROVEN to be a GLOBAL THREAT TO ALL HEROES when he rages out.
6. Galactus
7. SUPERMAN PRIME
8. Darkseid [this guy proved he can make the multiverse FOLD and the earth his slaves]
9. Anti-Monitor [the shyt superman had to do to defeat this fool in Final Crisis ]
10. Spectre
Sucker bets:
Batman
doom
reed richards
These guys are smart and have prep but it means nothing when the entire comic universe is brawling TO THE DEATH
flash would be virtually unstoppable if he was using all of his powers...so many would die at his hands
A New challenger, eh?
*cracks knuckles
I said Flash can go faster than light and he uses the Speed Force to do it. The problem is him going faster than light causes him to run into complications the faster he goes. This is why the Black Racer chases them down when they do this.
And yes, Superman can travel faster than light, he's done it numerous times, most specifically during the Max Lord Superman/Wonder Woman fight:

Superman flew to the sun, Punched Wonder Woman to Earth then flew back in under 2 minutes. That's 4 times the speed of light.
Its not PIS, its how comics work. Flash CAN think and move that fast, but he does not do it normally, he has to "turn on" the speed. His mind doesn't always work at that speed, he can just control it to do so at will. This function allows Flash to actually have stories and threats, trust me, Flash is a top 5 hero for me.
Slade's mind works faster than a normal human's at ALL times, that through proper planning and tactics allows him to best Flash constantly and lends argument that anyone with proper planning and tactics or a faster than human mind could duplicate the feats.
He can do both. he has stolen speed and given speed to increase or descrease the speed of his opponents or other speed force users.
But its a moot point as he won't be able to do that to anyone in Marvel or outside of any universe but DC's as the speed force doesn't exist as was CLEARLY stated in the JLA/Avengers crossover, the only canon crossover in Marvel and DC history. That's why Quicksilver was able to beat him in Marvel but not in DC:

And Surfer's cosmic awareness allows him to know the details of his opponents without having the actual experience of facing them. It would allow him to be aware of Flash's speed force and powers before Flash knew a think about Surfer like knowing he won't be able to hurt him with normal punches.
[True but he needs a surface to run on. And a non solid surface makes it more difficult for Flash to move as quickly. Its the whole reason Captain Cold fukks with him. Surfer can easily recreate any cold attacks to use on Flash.

Not true at all.

And if I really needed more evidence to debunk this, I can bring up White Martians, Maxima, Starro or Eclipso. Surfer can beat Flash with TP.
Surfer has the ability to stomp Flash if he wanted, but he would not because:
a. He's a hero
b. He's peaceful and passive until his hand is forced
c. Flash would not go out for the kill instantly, so Surfer would have no reason to as well.
I should have corrected myself and said Superman cannot go light speed while on Earth.
This is how the Flash normally thinks....Superman had to speed up just to match his senses.
He doesn't have to "turn on" his speed...he has to turn it down. The rest of the world is moving in slow motion in comparison to him. Slade's mind moves faster than a normal human but clearly The Flash isn't a normal human.....he thinks at the speed of light. It's PIS. For the sake of the plot they nerfed the Flash's powers.It's PIS like Deathstroke managing to hurt Wonder Woman.
The Flash has stolen speed from characters who don't have access to the speed force. He's even stolen speed from objects.
There's no reason why he shouldn't be able to steal the Silver Surfer's speed. JLA/Avengers isn't canon. Has Surfer's cosmic awareness ever been useful in a fight?
That's New 52 and that's Barry Allen. I'm talking about Post-Crisis Wally West. He can run in space.
Never mind. I recant what I said.
In this scenario all those things would be go out the window though.
They were reduced to some off brand spot as a back up. Forgot the name of it.@R=G , man you know what happened to the herochat forums? I ain't been there in a while but those respect threads were a gold mine, we ain't lose 'em did we?

I hear what you saying bruh, but Superman can actually go light speed on Earth, he just usually doesn't because of the backlash and shockwaves it could and probably would create IF he did it. Superman is safety first. And he doesn't have access to the Speed Force like Flash to control the atmosphere around him like Flash.
But he's more than capable of it.
About Flash's senses, I think we are saying similar things but from the opposite directions. You saying Flash is "default" at light speed and slows himself down to talk and interact with others, I'm saying Flash's default is normal human speed and he speeds himself up to whatever he needs. My point, however is that Flash is not at a super speed perception rate 100% of the time. He can, has and will continue to get caught by humans and slower beings on a consistent basis, this is why his default setting is "normal speed" or else he would literally never get caught and never be able to interact with people without intentionally allowing it.
JLA/Avengers is specifically listed as canon and the JLA has had arcs where it was referenced. Avengers Disassembled referenced the "Chaos Magic" that Scarlet Witch accessed in the DCU that Dr. Strange SPECIFICALLY stated "did not exist in the Marvel Universe" that drove her crazy in the first place. And regardless if JLA/Avengers was canon or not, you would still have to prove that Flash's speed force can effect people outside of the DCU which there is no other precedent
In short, there is no real evidence the speed force would work on Surfer, and I already said Flash can steal speed from non speed force users, but they specifically have to be from the DCU. On the flipside, we have seen cosmic awareness and the power cosmic used in the DCU in FF/Superman, Surfer/Superman and Galactus/Darkseid crossovers. There IS a precedent for that
Pre-52 Wally had the same problems with Cold and the rest of the Rogues. And depending on the writers Flash's need of a surface has varied, but the vacuum of space does allow Superman, Flash and other speedsters do more than they could in Earth's atmosphere.
this is more about WHICH Flash are we dealing with here tho.
If they are both bloodlusted, its still Surfer's fight to lose. He would literally just destroy the planet Flash was on.
