Blob vs. Flash

"The Blob's body has several unusual properties in itself. The first is its superhuman resistance to injury. The fat tissues that comprise the Blob's epidermis are able to absorb the impact of rifle bullets, cannonballs, bazooka, and even torpedoes. The larger of these projectiles recoil from his body at one half the force of impact. The smaller one imbed themselves in his layers of fat tissue, enabling him to eject them by merely flexing his muscles. The Blob's nerve endings do not relay any tactile perception to his brain which are near the threshold of pain. The fat tissue of his epidermis is resilient enough to revert to its normal shape after deformation caused by impact. It is virtually impervious to physical injury. The Blob's skin cannot be punctured, lacerated, frostbitten, or ravaged by any skin disease, due in part to the skin's greatest elasticity and toughness and in part to the highly accelerated rate at which his skin cells grow and replace themselves. His skin is somewhat less resistant to burning.

It is not yet known if there is an upper limit to the Blob's ability to absorb impact. While he could easily survive a head-on collision with a bus traveling at a hundred miles per hour, even a highly ferrous meteorite fifty feet in diameter on top of him at terminal velocity, it is [b]not known whether he could survive a collision with an object traveling at near light speed. Further, it is not known whether his skin's imperviousness to heat could survive the 11,000,000-degree heat at ground zero of a multi-megaton atomic blast." [/B]

What is a fraction of infinity 😂

bored with you now - you need to understand a little physics 🙂

What would happen to the shockwave from the punch? Or what would happen if Flash punched him in the head?

If you understood anything about physics, you'd understand that everything about Flash is impossible 🙂 To be able to change directions with the mass... bleh, nevermind 🙄

Is not 10lbs a fraction of infinity? I'm not gonna get into a real scientific debate here because these are comic books and they don't follow what you learn in class. I'm just saying that he can hit Blob with an incredible force but because it's limited in area, and Blob is able to stand his ground due to his mutant power, the punch would do nothing but displace a small piece of Blob's gutt.

yes it is impossible, but the comics physics - allows for infinte mass through the speedforce 🙂

A fraction of infinity is always infinite - unless that fraction is defined with a number 🙂 😂 however infinity would still remain infinite and that fraction would be an amount not part of infinity - merely a quantity 😂

bored with you🙂

I don't learn in class - I teach in class 😂

Still bored with you - its all been debated before

10 is not a fraction of infinitely, as you cannot devide infinity and have it equal 10.

I mispoke. I was still relating to what I said up there "Fine, let's assume almost infinite mass.. not INFINITE. His arm would still find itself 2 feet into fat... which would quickly bounce back into shape. Like magic!" Let's assume his punch has "infinite mass." Would good is that going to do him?

He's right, scotsmn.

HOWEVER the comic (wherein he punched the white martian,) never said he had infinite mass.

Beacuse to destroy an object moving with a weight past infinity, it would take an infinte amount of energy to stop it.

The Blob does not posses that. Again, do you know what happened when the unstopable force (Juggs) met the unmoveable object (Blob)

When he punched (Zom? I can't rember.) It said it was infinte.

no he'd already done the impossible and achieved the speed of light which requires infinite anergy for an object with mass above a photon 🙂

Infinite mass = infinite energy

The martian should of had a lot more damage than he had 🙂

Elastic point is the key anyway. Blob can only stretch so far - Flash's mass/ kinetic energy would be wayyyyyyy beyond this. Blob snaps its that simple.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Jugs moved him because his power is "magical." And who's to say that when an object reaches the speed of light or surpasses it, it has infinite mass? Doesn't light travel at the speed of light? Doesn't it have the power to "push" things? I seem to recall something looking like a windmill being pushed by light. Squares were painted black on one side and white on the other. Heh, the little wheel was barely spinning. I don't think the logic holds up. Maybe when you surpass the speed of light you LOSE all mass?

Where's the logic in that, whirly? Flash reaches light speed all the time because of the SPEED FORCE, which prevents mass dialation. Plenty of characters go at light speed without gaining infinite mass, or expending infinite energy. Flash runs at light speed by warping space, not actually propelling himself by "running."

The martian should have had more damage? Pfft... The universe should have collapsed on him.

Yes but thats a finite number divided by infinity 🙂 not infinity divided by a finite number 🙂 which still remains infinite

It certainly should have collapsed on him - no logic in it. Read the Flash fact above it which was equally silly, when you read it again 🙂

Damnit whirly, stop changing your name! 😠

As you approach light speed don't you get thinner and thinner? And longer and longer? If that's the case, Blob can expect to receive something like a pin prick.

😂

but its still the wrong way round for this debate as its a finite number divided by infinity and not infinity divided by a finite number which is still infinity.

We can't always apply real world physics to a comic, (unless, of course, the writers say so) so neither of our statements really apply to Flash. Especially considering the fact that the Speed Force supersedes the laws of physics.

Therefore, unless it is explicitly stated somewhere in the comic that Flash had infinite mass, there's no reason to assume that he did.

I'm sure Flash has run at greater than light speed many times without gaining infinite mass.
