of the above, Thor is the best compromise between power, versatility, durability and speed.
How is Flash a poor choice?

standard GLs aren't up to much. could probably be taken out by an explosion at a nuclear power plant.Superman/Thor would prove more durable and kryptonite doesn't exist in the real world (so far).
im pretty sure any GL shield would protect life form on earth from any explosions.
comic earth no. but in reality if there were GLs there wouldnt be anything on this planet that they would have to fear.

1. His powers give him a wide range of abilities. Read a Flash book sometime.
2.Not much practical value? Are you dense?
3. A bit dim? Are you trying to say the Flash isn't very smart? He's brighter than Thor and half the people on this list.

2. see 1. vibrating shit and running around is not going to solve much. being able to trap and manipulate energy/matter and to do so at a distance = decent power.
3. Thor's smarter than Flash, imo. and as for being smarter than half the people on the list:
Juggernaut
Apocalypse
Green Lantern
umm, not much competition apart from Thor/Superman.

Apoc is less smarter than Superman or Thor? Are you serious? Apoc is one of the smartest people in MU.

that said, I only included him in the stupid pile as a joke, but I believe Superman might be more intelligent and Thor has access to methods of boosting his intellect significantly I think.

Right. Being able to get anywhere on Earth in seconds isn't valuable. Phasing through walls wouldn't either. Being able to react to anything on Earth....not practically valuable, or being able to hit something with an IMP if you had to. Moving so fast someone couldn't see you, impractical. Stealing anyone or anything's speed...wouldn't be able to be applied practically of course...
What "practical" powers does Thor have? Juggernaut? Superman?

the phasing and running shit is unnecessary. the Earth isn't that big, Supernan's nearly as fast as Flash so that makes no difference here. Thor's fast enougnh to get around the world in seconds too.
Flash can't stop a plane from falling out of the sky or seal off a volcano or move an island that's in the way of a tsunami etc etc
Flash isn't that useful.
