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!? 😱
Can I get an issue #?

might say in the respect thread - I'll check it if I find it for you

Has he ever actually done that to anyone? 😬Or is this just a theoretical power, like his theoretical ability to vibrate through people and make them explode?
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.

Well I cant provide the issue #'s but heres Flash Vibrating through Anti-Monitors armor and destroying it.
Here he is stealing speed from the planet.
Stealing speed from Girder ans stopping him cold, leaving him motionless.

Of course.So since we've never acualy seen LT fight Wolverine, I guess we can't assume LT would win.
Check the Flash respect thread for stealing speed from a city.
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 . . .?

Impressive. Good job jrodslam.Flash made the Antimontior explode? Damn... hmmm...
Like i said before. Im sure we all know that Thanos is durable as hell. But i just wanna know is he more durable than Anti-Moniter? He did ko someone with Superman like durability. Thats all i was trying to say.
I dont know who would win the fight though. Flash could possibly vibrate through all of Thanos's attacks. Who knows.
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.
