Flash will run through the end of time and make Thanos disappear. Or he'll run around and gather a multiverse type of attack. Flash is unbeatable.

I honestly think it's impossible to tell who would win.

Flash has complete control over a very spesific atribute, while Thanos exsels in everything.

All things ever, no prep, Flash would proboly win, but with prep, or ANY kind of unseen advantage, Thanos takes it.

I'm still declareing it 5/10

Cosmic Cube
Thanos's reflexes were fast enough to snatch his hand away from Surfer traveling at millions of times the speed of light. He can see photons traveling to their targets, and he can view things that are millions of lightyears away.

Flash isn't getting the jump on him, and he's ridiculously outclassed. Thanos 10/10

No, Thanos moved his hand.

The glove didn't make Thanos faster. Thanos is always able to see Surfer moving at millions of times lightspeed. He's probably the most powerful Eternal.

Flash has outran death and time, and through the entropy at the end of the universe, and across the stands of creation as they came into being.... current Flash... not Full potential.

He can trancend time and universes, lightspeed is nothing.

SS is much faster than any Flash

Time has no meaning to the SS.

Once he left the Space/Time continuum and was seeing past/present and the future and can choose to be anywhere in no time.

He has bend Space/Time many time

Has done beyond light speed (without time traveling)

Flash had to accelerate to hit Grod

Flash can't go beyond light speed without time travel.

SS isn't restricted by space/time he can and is beyond that. When he can choose to exixt it with no problem. The space the dimensional continuum that makes Eternity can't hold SS.

In other words speed has very little meaning to the Surfer if he chooses to use all on speed.

Flash can travel through time. So can the Silver Surfer. Only difference is that in Marvel, there is no beginning, and there is no end.

Death came for Flash in the form a speedster, using the speed force. Flash was able to outrun it because he apparently had greater control of the speed force. There's no telling how fast either of them were going.

golem370
Which Thanos regular one or Immortal one because basically they both beat him

golem370
Would it be logical since Flash as no prep time that he try what he did to Braniac and get owned?

Flash IS capeable of traveling at infinite speed. He has even beaten somebody who teleports.

Thanos will still win, but I can't see him hacving that much def agienst his speed stolen and organds destroyed.

Flash. Thanos doesn't have Superspeed at all. confused Flash can take all of Thanos speed (not that he has alot anyways), making him motionless, then hand him a couple of light speed punches.

I will say Thanos does indeed have something near FTL reflexes, it's been shown a lot. He can indeed handle a blitz by a grounded fighter like Flash. (Possibly not Superman....maybe.)
Flash can't hurt Thanos, infinite mass punch be damned, it won't do anything to Thanos other than piss him off. Flash will more than likely hit his force field when trying.

Flash isn't faster than Surfer. Flash can't attain infinite speed. Flash outrunning death is overrated, it's something akin to Death challenging Mindless Hulk to a lifting contest and Hulk will win, and people would say "Hulk beat death!". It's less of a feat than just a dumb plot device.

Thanos can handle anything Flash dishes out, and then some. He just blows the planet they are on up, and Flash dies.

Isnt Surfer like 350 x Speed of light? Flash is like maybe 2 to 3 x speed of light that a big difference. The thing is Human hands hitting Thanos would do no damage.

scotsmn
Thanos has way more at his disposal. I don't think Flash could breath in space with no planets around... I don't even see how Flash could ever hope to reach Thanos up in space.

btw, once Flash comes down from speed for whatever reason he would die in a vacuum. No contest.

Thanos 10/10

long pig
Thanos can teleport instantly, and with his near light speed reactions, he can do it before the blitz. Then it's all about blowing up the planet.

Flash really can't harm Thanos, he can't even ring out Thanos.

1. Surfer searched the enitre Earth -ENTIRE EARTH- in the time it takes to speak a sentence. He caught Ganymede's staff. He broke energy shackles within a nanosecond. Saved a girl from a great distance away within a microsecond. Surfer is freaking FAST. Thanos beats the crap out of him.

2. Why is someone a fanboy for saying FLash could beat Thanos? Why is someone a fanboy for saying that Wolverine could beat Namor? Or that Living Tribunal could beat Batman? They're just all terrible mismatches, yet some still argue for the side which is EASILY outclassed.

3. Flash has trouble vibrating through things that are too durable, I do believe. And Thanos is as durable as they come, he regularly takes blasts from cosmic level people. I doubt Flash's vibrating technique would work, Thanos is much too powerful.

leonidas

yeah, and it's because these feats (vibrating and blowing him up, traveling to the end of time with him, infinity punching him) are not NEARLY consistent enough to make me believe they could actually work against someone of thanos's level. someone who GRABS SS WITH HIS HANDS AND PUMMELS HIM INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

i have an idea:

any flash fan that can post of a scan of any one of those 3 attacks (or any of the others flash fans claim will net him a win, like the mythical 'stealing his speed) working against someone of thanos's level (or NEAR thanos's level), and i will apologize to all you flash-ophiles on this here thread.

if you cannot, how about you all admit that those feats are ENORMOUSLY/NEAR-IMPOSSIBLY UNLIKELY to work against thanos.

if you can't show them against someone of thanos's level, show a scan of each attack happening, explain the context in which it happened, and let everyone make an EDUCATED assessment as to whether the attacks really ARE as feasible as some of you say. if they are as feasible as y'all claim, this shouldn't be a problem. i for one have never seen ANY of those aforementioned attacks, and i'd love to have a look.

fair enough?

Dizzle
None of the 3 would actually work, unless he somehow pulled off the vibration thing. The one time he DID make it to the end of time, it took Wally a LONG time. More than enough for Thanos to pull back his fist and whack his head off (hey, if he's pushing him, it's gotta be impossible for him to dodge and continue to push... and that's assuming he could move Thanos without immediately encountering a forcefield).

Now, an IMP barely KOed a White Martian, who is much Thanos's lesser when it comes to durability. The IMP also takes some time to execute. While Zum thought he was just behind Flash, and so did not really look behind him, and was punched just a second after he saw Wally coming, Thanos will either A: Immediately expect an attack and put up a force field or B: Look around to see where he went, and counter as necessary OR C: Teleport somewhere else, just to mess with Flash.

Vibrating through someone is also extremely sketchy, as Thanos takes blasts that would atomize a normal being and just stands back up. (Odin)

sam_drugbringer
I was unaware of Flash haveing trouble vibrateing through anything. If you are sure then fine, but I can't rember it.

There's no reason Flash can't steal Thanoses speed, rendering him much SLOWER then Flash.

Also, Flash has outraced teleporters before (Albit under very strange circumstances).

I'm not saying Flash would win, in fact, this topic has made me revise my answer to 8/10 Thanos, but it IS still possible for Flash to take it.

How durable IS Thanos exactly? Can someone answer that?
And Dizzle it didnt take Wally a LONG time to get to the end of time. It took less than 2 minutes with distractions. Thanos isnt that fast to keep up. Or is he?

Also, sam drugbringer. Flash doesnt have trouble vibrating through things at all. And you also mention Flash stealing Thanos's speed. Can anyone explain why that cant happen?

Is Thanos more durable than Anti-Monitor?

Dunno. Same reason why Gambit can charge cards but not people, and Firestorm can't transmute people. Writers always put those kind of stipulations on superpowers like that.

Besides, if he's never shown that he can do it, there's no reason to assume that he can.

Even if he could, Thanos is an Eternal. He would just reform his body and break Wally's neck.

So, Flash has stolen someone's speed, leaving them motionless?

He stole speed from an entire city!? eek!

Yes. To Anti-Monitor as well as a villain named Girder among other things. He also was tempted to do it to Superman, but didbnt because of the destruction it would cause.

sam_drugbringer
Of course.

So since we've never acualy seen LT fight Wolverine, I guess we can't assume LT would win.

Hell, in countdown to IC, he stole chethas speed, and that was only two or three months ago.

Not so. Flash has had plenty of opportunities to vibrate through people and cause them to explode. Wolverine hasn't had quite as many bouts with the Living Tribunal.

I'm not saying that Flash can't vibrate through people and make them explode. I'm saying that until he does, it shouldn't be used in an argument.

hmm, the respect thread was interesting. thanks draco. i said i didn't know enough about flash, and that shed some light on it.

the only way i see flash having a chance is by stealing thanos's speed. the problem with that is i don't understand what it entails. does that literally freeze someone in time? do all brain functions freeze? does it steal the kinetic energy of the quarks and subatomic particles that make us up? if not, thanos or any telepath would still be able to beat him. i guess what i'm asking is do all brain functions stop?

and don't forget, this is regular flash. his punch won't do much to thanos who has taken far greater hits. i can't see him exploding thanos with his molecular control and all around imperviousness (massive shots from odin ring a bell . . .)

stealing speed may in fact work, but i need to know more about it.

oh, and about that superman race -- clearly the heat vision scene was ludicrous -- that or the heat vision was traveling quite slowly. were they actually both moving at near c, they would have circled the earth many times over in just the span of time they spent talking, yet they hadn't even reached their destination! i also didn't see flash pulling away from supes. because he didn't want to, or couldn't? and if they WERE traveling that fast, does that finally confirm how fast supes REALLY is??

if he wasn't moving at c on the land, thanos would easily be able to hit him.

i'm still not convinced but i'll admit if the stealing speed thing is COMPLETE, i may work. of course, that raises the silly issue of why not just use it all the time? answer? the books would be boring which i always find to be a silly answer in itself and seems to make every issue he DOESN'T DO IT out to be pis. or perhaps stealing speed is pis . . .?

I dont know who would win the fight though. Flash could possibly vibrate through all of Thanos's attacks. Who knows.

hoorayforpeepee
to be fair, anti-monitor was just standing there, and flash had to vibrate through him what looks like a couple hundred times to do it.

no disrespect to flash, but thanos ain't gonna stand there and take it, being at least of comparable speed to flash. and as CC mentioned, he could just reform his body. plus there's the whole teleportation/forcefields thing.

but still, thanos 8/10

He blew up the Antimonitor's armor. Not his 'body.' Antimonitor's armor is just metal. He blows that up all the time.

The speed stealing thing stops them from moving for a while. They can still think, and apparently, talk.

It leaves the person frozen for about half a minute. Maybe longer. Thats more than enough time to do a vibrational punch or a few a IMP's.

leonidas
hmm, than thanos's burgeoning telepathic powers would still be enough to get him a win. even though the limits of them are not known. if his brain works, he could also teleport, no? i don't see why he would have to be able to move to teleport (playing devil's advocate, btw -- i'm still not convinced thanos can teleport without tech (why ELSE would be have been stranded in space by thor and runner??))

at any rate, any telepath would be unaffected by the power if you're right, cc . . .

I think it depends on how much energy they initially had. Wally mentions that in the scan.

Do you have any scans of Wally doing IMP's?

at any rate, any telepath would be unaffected by the power if you're right, cc . . .

Thanos teleports without tech, just not as far as he can with tech.

<<Thanos teleports without tech, just not as far as he can with tech.>>

proof? i've asked before and never received any.

that's beside the point. speed stealing seems his only option, and it would seem that wouldn't work against him as thanos is left with the most dangerous of all his abilities -- his mind . . .

i stand firm -- thanos wins.

I can't recall any instances of him doing it... It's just on the marvel.com website, which can be a bit misleading... I've asked for proof tons of times and had just as much luck.

Is there a Thanos respect thread?

That just made me think of something.

It's so funny... Flash is uber inconsistant, and everyone ignores his poor showings, considering them to be PIS, and only show regard to his god-like feats.

Surfer is inconsistant, and he never gets the benefit of the PIS argument. Come to think of it, Flash is the only character who is given the benefit of PIS. If Flash ever loses a fight, its because of PIS.

Has Flash ever failed to steal speed? Someone told me he tried it on one chick, but failed becuase the power that granted her speed was way too huge. She wasn't uberly fast because she couldn't tap into all of it at once, but he still couldn't make her stop.

Anyhoo, Flash really has no way to put Thanos down... 'sploding him wouldn't kill him, even if it did work.

Surfer eats Flash for breakfast. Because he's debatably even faster than Wally.

See, against Thanos, heroes nowadays only need to have high showings of some incredible ability to win...even though that ability has nothing to do with harming Thanos.

Flash: IMP, runs really fast, speed steal. IMP = skyfather level attack?
Superman: heat vision, speed blitzing, strength, moves really fast. Superman punches = Skyfather level

Actually, it says there that it's a power cosmic blast... He just flies through towers and such cuz he's made of a superstrong metallic substance, and is moving near light speed. The blast in itself was triggered by him. (DON'T MAKE SURFER's POWERS RETARDED)

I think Dizzle means that Surfer is like a cosmic energy bomb.

But I get what you're saying. Everyone assumes that whatever Flash vibrates through will explode, no matter how durable it is. It's not necessarily true.

Of course. He doesn't though.

Thanos has been up against so much more than the Flash has to offer, and triumphed. Flash really doesn't have a way to win this fight.

Anything Flash can do, Thanos can counter.

Surfer is fast in reflexive speed too. You can't fly at million times light speed with human reflexes.

Thanos was fast enough to move his hand when Surfer tried to snatch the Infinity Gauntlet from him, and Surfer was traveling hundreds of millions of times faster than light.

Prove that Surfer has fighting/reflexive speeds? Flash has both, and is way faster than Thanos, once Flash takes his speed, Thanos will be nothing but a punching bag. smile

kg, what exactly is that scan of thanos supposed to show? and the trap thing? i don't get where or how he's teleporting there -- and either way he isn't teleporting himself, nor can we tell from those whether he is using tech or not.

and you're stretching it with ss controlling kinetic energy, nor does he control time as it seems you would suggest.

oh, and thanos still wins.

It suppose to show that thanos can teleport other people by shooting cosmic energy from his hand. Trap thing is what he tried against odin. He is not teleporting -------- that scans shows that teleporting isn't much problem for him. Since he teleport Champ with ease like that. No tech did you see any tech getting involved? He is cosmic powers from tip of his fingers.

Controlling SS can absorb kinetic energy. Flash steal k Energy it's not a problem for anyone who can do so, He does control time/pace to a great extent.

And him being able to exist at all time simultaneously is a major feat.

Think what that could mean battle wise.
