Well, around this forum, people have the Flash comparable to God. I just cant see the Flash beating a being that is probably closest to him in speed, has matter manipulation, the power cosmic, and unwordly durability. If there was ever a character that had a chance of actually draining the Flash of the speed force, I would think it would be Surfer.

Scenario,,,Surfer takes to the sky and destroys the planet. Its the simplest way I can explain it.

Surfer and Flash or Zum and Surfer?

Because according to the DC guys Zum is pretty much equal to Superman. I'd give Wally the majority over SS though.

Zum's powerful, but he's no Superman, nor Flash, nor Silver Surfer.

I only follow what the comics say.

Even so, taking him out with a single punch is strong, not to mention being capable of launching a thousand punches just like that.

How many times has a character been repped to hit as hard or harder than Superman? How many times is it actually true? Who actually believes that Sentry defeated Galactus?

Ohhhh, my mistake, I thought you were referring to Zoom. embarrasment

Well, I don't know much about him (Zum), so I'll refrain from commenting.

However, in regards to Surfer vs. Flash, if there's one character who can handle anything Flash can dish it's Norrin. Flash is slightly faster, but Surfer can counter with his relative speed. Furhtermore, with his arsenal of tactics (Transmutation, Blasts, Phasing, Forcefield, limited TP etc...) at his disposal, Norrin (IMO) would take a healthy majority away from Wally.

Meh, Wally can heal better, he's faster, more striking power. Only needs to connect once to end it, Sufer's not fast enough to get away.

Wally has known Superman for many years, if anyone's going to make a good estimate of his power level, it's him! Unlike Spidey who knows jack all about Galactus and had forgotten about the Sentry.

You reall think he can heal better than Norrin, who by the way has the power to heal others? erm

He might not be fast enough to get away, but he should be fast enough to at least target and strike at Flash, which cosmic awareness should help with.

Wally heals those crazy lethal injuries over and over, Norrin has decent regeneration as well, but nothing on par with Wally.

Surfer could probably take off in one direction while getting up a forceshield or something, which SHOULD stop Flash in theory. But I'm not sure if Surfer has a past of thinking at high speeds.

He's was built to think at high speeds in order to travel through space and time, and find energy sources for his master.

It's not possible to travel that fast without having the ability of rapid thought process.

How do you think he can scan the Earth in seconds to locate someone?

Surfer should be able to pull out a majority then, assuming he uses that tactic.

No doubt Flash would give him trouble (maybe take 2 or 3/10), but for the most part Surfer should be able to handle Flash.

SS won't hit Flash with his energy attacks nor physical. Flash can accelerate his molecules at super speed and Phase through SS's on coming attacks. And while doing that he can also impart speed to SS and cause him to crash into something.

Beats me, but it is quite a different type of feat, than phasing through solid matter, that is.

Flash can adsorb it by moving at super speed. Because the energy collied with his aura that the Speed Force creates around him.

I'm a bit skeptical that Flash could even phase through the Surfer to begin with. Are there instances of Flash phasing through people of comparable durability?

Antigravity followed by an area attack would probably be Surfer's simplest strategy here.

llagrok
Flash can absorb plenty of stuff actually.

Didn't he once absorb the kinetic energy of an entire planet or something like that? I'm sure ror has it in his respect thread smile

Flash has shown to be weak to telepathic attacks though, Surfer could get 10 easy wins like that.

Flash: Speedster - the greatest.

Surfer: Matter manipulation, highly destructive plasma beams, cosmic speed amping abilities, self sustenance, regen, endurance, body armor, self regen, life detection, Phasing, SS can see beyond a light year away+cosmic awareness....too much.

I love Flash, but SS just has too many potential ways to take out Wally to mention here.

Flash's current awareness of danger and decision making is all that protects his life. both of which are microscopic in comparison to SS's.

This also seems to lend credence to the idea that Surfer's durability is more than just cosmic skin. His insides don't seem to be particularly human in the above portrayal (much like his portrayals in Annihilation).

you're right, realistically speaking we're talking seconds.

Surfer obliterates Flash with a PC blast or matter manipulates him or levitates him to the sun...

Surfer cannot possibly lose this, and indeed because of the speed at which Flash will be operating, the fight will end really really really fast.

Surfer's as fast as, if not faster than, Flash, he's infinitely more durable and has stupendous versatility. what in heavens could Flash, realistically, do to even inconvenience Surfer slightly?

What I'm saying is that perhaps his cosmic awareness guided him, or at least gave him the information he needed. It is a lot more practical than searching the entire earth. I haven't seen the scasn in a while, actually I would like to see it again. iirc, he was just gone and then back again. It was never shown on panel what he did. Just implied.

There are plenty of scans of him moving vast distances before people can think, or others would have time to formulate a thought. But hey, he didn't kill Gorilla Grodd, so I guess that counts for nothing.

Ok, let me put it this way.

Has he ever faced a character who was able to move and react at lightspeed or superluminal speeds and also had telepathy, has he ever shown the ability to speed blitz someone like that?

Holding back and not killing Grodd doesn't really matter, SS is both vastly faster and more durable than Grodd, I was focusing on Grodd's telepathy.

But you seem to think Flash can steal SS' speed, give him an imp before SS can use telepathy...

janus77
lol,
Flash hasn't a chance at all.

Surfer covers half the universe in seconds or less, can think and process information at those speeds - map star systems, analyse and make note of changes etc without missing a beat - Flash literally can not do a thing at all.

From the SS respect thread:

It isn't explicitly stated that he physically searched the earth, but I think that it's an ambiguous feat either way. Doesn't mean that it isn't a very good one though.

Sirius77
Scan doesnt work. And he searched off panel. We don't know what he did, but the fact that he has cosmic awareness highly implies that he didnt have to physically search it. Either way, it's off panel, so no one can say for sure.

To say Surfer would be able to handle Flash's speed is ridiculous, especially considering Surfer's few and ambiguous 'speed feats'.

janus77
"few speed feats"?
lol

no, it's not a question of handling Flash's speed, he obviously would, but of exceeding him. Surfer's speed feats are there everytime he crosses the universe for Galactus, say tracking T&A across the universe, or say when he went into the past or when he mocked Deathurge.

there's nothing Flash can do to out-speed Surfer.

quite a few herald level characters could do that, many of the Heralds of Galactus definitely could. but it still doesn't change the fact that Surfer can and regularly does travel at many hundreds/thousands/millions of times the speed of light.

to doubt that Surfer has the speed to neutralise Flash's speed is just to irrationally undermine and deny a character's powerset.

I've never seen the surfer track sentient lifeforms using his cosmic awareness, and while I cannot logically deny that he may have been using his cosmic senses, it is only logical from my point of view to conclude that the bulk of the search was physical, with his senses probably being used in a radial sense. In any case, it was a great feat regardless of any ambiguity.

The phrase "few speed feats" in conjunction with the Silver Surfer demonstrates either a lack of subject matter or willful ignorance.

well, given how Surfer has used superspeed against Deathurge, against entire armadas, it's established that he has no problem with it in combat either.

That isn't a fair comparison is it? All speed feats that are not explicitly numbered or scaled on-panel are already ambiguous by default. As for number of feats, correct me if I am mistaken, but Wally has more appearances, no?

This is an argument, how? Few other characters would have survived in that situation, deprived of their power source. Wally, separated from the Speed Force, would have been killed by the first beam attack.

Really, how much better does it get when Surfer fanboys and Flash fanboys go at each other? big grin

A reasonable request but likely not gonna happen. It's just not "Silver Surfery," even though it is logically well within his powerset. This kind of fighting style is simple not what SS does. We wanna see beams and matter transformation; leave the flailing fisticuffs to the likes of Superman because that's what Supes does.

But just for the satisfaction, I wouldn't mind seeing those after images myself.

Really, how much better does it get when Surfer fanboys and Flash fanboys go at each other? big grin

Without the Power Cosmic, Norrin isn't capable of doing anything either. What kind of argument is THAT?

If the Surfer is supposed to be so fast, he wouldn't allow himself to be sliced up to the point where he's near death.

That's why he was hit in the first place. If Wally had his connection to the Speed Force siphoned off, he would have been hit too and would have died as a result.

It's pretty unimpressive that he almost let himself be killed like that :/ Since Flash could not have survived similar circumstances, I'd say it is pretty impressive.

The point is that Flash wouldn't have been hit.

You don't know that.

And "siphoned his connection to the speed force"? please

Deprived of his energy and will, how would Flash have survived a being cut into pieces?

No more speculation that Flash would have been hit :/

But fortunately, Wally has far more and far better speed feats than Surfer. Naturally, he has far better chances at dodging the lasers.

ok, heres a question, how wil flash significantly damage surfer?

surfer took hulk punches, with all the stuff hulk has done with a single punch, it is safe to say those are arguably stronger or on par with imps.

-oneshotting the crimson bands
-busting onslught's physical form
-oneshotting the double earth size asteroid
-oneshotted a massive ship thor couldn't scratch

etc.

Wow, fanboy much?

The x-men ruined Onslaught's physical form, Thor did it :/

You're completely ignoring all the context, a typical trait for Hulk fanboys. You also seems to be trying some kind of ridiculous ABC logic, which is equally hilarious. The sweet part is ignoring the fact that Flash's single IMP knocked out a Superman-lite, and he could've fired off hundreds.

Hell how do you know Flash has regenerative abilities? Didn't he get hit and then heal the damage?

--------------------------------------

but as usual, pro-dc types lower marvel characters to one trait the dc character accel at, in this case speed.

surfer can not only match his speed but in addition to that his power and control over it is far too much for the flash.

Excluding point to point travel I can't think of anything Surfer has done that Flash can't beat. As for control over his speed, technically Wally has more control of Surfer's speed than Surfer does.

But Wally is the greatest Flash (he master the "speed force"wink. The only one who was able to reach and secceed light speed, and not get sucked into the "speed force". Wally has great control over his powers.

Bart Allen is the greatest Flash, he was the embodiment of the speed force.

And he's gonna come back as a Black Lantern, JUST YOU WAIT!

psycho gundam
sure but the only way the flash would even be able to strike norrin is if he was on or near the ground, when going into battle the silver surfer is usually on his board in the sky.

and he usually answers a physical confrontation with a cosmic omni-burst that throws his opponents off him violently.

i'm just saying the flashes speed isn't the end all to all his potential opponents, especially the likes of the silver surfer. his cosmically attuned brain is meant for trans-light travel/movement and his body can withstand the friction of ftl speeds (no speed force). he just doesn't move that fast on earth because it damages the environment on a global scale.

He was able to do this with Nova as well and both where having telepathic conversation from opposite sides of the Universe..

It seems that surfer can use hyperspace for telepathic use.. Pair that with his cosmic awareness, pico-second mind process/reaction/reflex, i think it is within his ability to hit Flash with FTL (via hyperspace) telepathic assault... Its a stretch but ehhh... his got the tools..

Flash doesn't try his best in non-lethal situations.

It's a big stretch.....

Which is what most of the Surfer fanboys seem to be doing. Not that telepathically communicating is the same as attackign someone. That's why Loki is >>> Surfer smile

I think that Surfer's non-travel feats are all ambiguous. Almost the same thing can be said of Superman, Diana or Thor. Obviously the person with best "speed only feats" is Flash.

llagrok
The same can NOT be said about Superman.

Thor is also a world class ditchdigger smile

Bentley
I was sure someone would argue that Superman has speed combat feats, but even those -into the numerous appearances of the characters- are far and between.

Complete speed feats are far in between when it comes to classic characters, thats a fact. Only feat oriented characters such as the Majestic have them in spades.

I think that's more the case with Thor than it is with Superman.

Bentley
It is the case for most people with less showings than Supes, including Thor. The fact that speed feats are far in between allows to question their validity, you can make an argument that says Thor has not a high level high speed for the fact that in history, most of the showings have been somewhat vague.

Point to case, Wonderwoman, Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter and many other established characters with known super speed, have almost no feats.

llagrok
Superman has an abundance of super speed feats.

Both in and out of combat.

Bentley
He also has more feats than any other character in the comic world. I'm glad he has speed feats, super speed is in his power set.

This is not a Superman thread though, if you want to talk about the amount of feats he has, there are threads devoted to that -versus Silver Surfer and Flash surely talk about it-.

False. Superman as we know him today only has feats back to 1986, thus making him have far fewer feats than the more 'classic' characters.

Come on, say that during that time he has more speed feats that everyone I mentioned, put the last nail in my coffin!

ultimatethor
Flash is NOT koing the surfer with one IMP especially not current surfer. The surfer is easily the most durable top tier in comics and is not getting koed so easily. I would easily comparre a flash infinite mass punch to an angry hulk punch and the surfer has taken multiple of those punches with no harm being done. All SS needs to do is startt flying and this fights over.

You'll notice for example -- a recent action comics issue, mentions Superman and Batman fighting Mordru back in JLA 148, a comic from the 70s.

Flash can do better actually. He still loses though

Originally posted by Terryc250

I forget the scan, but I calculated from Surfer's feat that he was moving at over 300 million x lightspeed (I believe he was covering at least 1 lightyear in no more than 1/10 of a second). At the very least, to cover a lightyear/sec, that's 32 million cee.
